At least three EPFL laboratories are working in tandem on the project: Computer Vision Laboratory led by Professor Pascal Fua, Realistic Graphics Lab led by Assistant Professor Wenzel Jakob, and Embedded Systems Lab spearheaded by Professor David Atienza (also a faculty member at EcoCloud).    

EcoCloud is happy to announce that Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL, has now come aboard the EcoCloud faculty.

Each year, a student of the Microengineering Section of EPFL is awarded the prestigious OMEGA Student Award for contributing to scientific and technological advances in the disciplines of Microengineering, Micro- and Nanotechnologies, and Chronometry. This year, the Board of the Foundation of the OMEGA Prize decided to honor Mohammed Hédi Fendri, a master student at the Institute of Microengineering in EPFL’s School of Engineering.

The ICCAD Executive Committee has recognized “3D-ICE: Fast Compact Transient Thermal Modeling for 3D ICs with Inter-Tier Liquid Cooling” as “the most influential on research and industrial practice in computer-aided design of integrated circuits over the ten years since its original appearance at ICCAD.” The authors of the paper are Arvind Sridhar, Alessandro Vincenzi, Martino Ruggiero, David Atienza (all from the Embedded Systems Laboratory – ESL at EPFL), and Thomas Brunschwiler (IBM Zurich Research Laboratory).

In a major recognition of Swiss innovation and excellence in database research, the VLDB Endowment has conferred the prestigious VLDB Women in Database Research Award on Anastasia Ailamaki, EPFL professor and co-founder of Raw Labs.

Digital technology is running up against its physical limits. One solution is to build more data centers – but that needs to go hand in hand with a reduction in their carbon footprint.

Her inclusion in Fortune’s 40 Under 40 provides Troncoso a platform to showcase the work done by the SPRING lab in alleviating the negative impact of technology on society, such as privacy concerns, and presenting purely system-based solutions rather than data-driven platforms.

Researchers at EPFL’s Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements (K-Lab), Trinity College Dublin (TCD), and Dublin City University (DCU) have teamed up to develop a new technique for generating variable low-noise microwaves with a single optical microresonator. The paper was recently published in Science Advances.

Given the fast pace of research, very few scientific studies stand the test of time. Even rarer is a study that continues to influence research a decade after its first publication. That distinction goes to “3D-ICE: Fast Compact Transient Thermal Modeling for 3D ICs with Inter-Tier Liquid Cooling,” a paper presented at the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) 2010 Conference. It has been selected as the winner of the prestigious ICCAD 2020 – Ten Year Retrospective Most Influential Paper Award , which is one the most prestigious given in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) community about industrial and academic relevance of a technical paper.

One of the key researches in the domain of quantitative information flow (QIF) is to effectively estimate information leaks in a system in order to prevent adversarial attacks. Most existing approaches are based on the white-box approach. However, this approach is often impractical due to the size or complexity of its internals, or the presence of unknown factors. This and other challenges forced a shift in focus to investigate methods for measuring a system’s leakage in a black-box manner.
