Saptaparni Kumar: Fault-tolerant atomic storage in truly-dynamic message-passing systems
Friday, February 28, 2020 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Distributed computing is ubiquitous today ranging from multiprocessors to smart devices to data centers connected by small LANs and massive WANs like the Internet.

Quanquan Liu: A Lower Bound for Byzantine Agreement and Consensus for Adaptive Adversaries using VDFs
Wednesday, December 18, 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Consensus protocols have been studied in the 1980s as a method to provide fault tolerance for information stored in databases.

Lewin Tseng: Exact Byzantine Consensus under Local Broadcast Model
Friday, December 13, 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
 
Brabeeba Wang: The First at All-Time Convergence Analysis for Biological Oja's Rule to Solve Streaming PCA
Friday, October 11, 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Biological Oja’s rule is a biologically feasible algorithm using Hebbian-type local synaptic update that solves the streaming PCA problem.

Counting to Ten with Yael Hitron: Two Fingers: Compressed Counting with Spiking Neurons
Friday, July 26, 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

We consider the task of measuring time with probabilistic threshold gates implemented by bio-inspired spiking neurons.

Lili Su: Distributed Statistical Machine Learning in Adversarial Settings: Byzantine Gradient Descent
Friday, December 8, 2017 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
We consider the distributed statistical learning problem over decentralized systems that are prone to adversarial attacks. This setup arises in many practical applications, including Google’s Federated Learning.
Shlomi Dolev: Encountering Challenges in Computer Science, Including, Quantum Safe Public Key Infrastructure
Thursday, November 9, 2017 - 3:00pm to 4:30pm
 At this presentation, I will give an overview on recent results from my research group on distributed computing,
