Disentangling Deep Neural Networks
Deep Neural Networks (DNN) can extract useful representations from unstructured data, which can be used for tasks like classification or object detection. In a joint publication in "Nature Nanotechnology", the team of Prof. Luca Benini at the Integrated Systems Laboratory (IIS) together with IBM Research Zürich present an efficient compute engine for disentangling these data-driven holographic representations.
Prof. Christian Franck appointed new Full Member of SATW
The Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW) has elected Prof. Christian Franck, head of the High Voltage Lab at D-ITET, as Full Member. The appointment is made in recognition of his outstanding achievements in teaching and research, particularly regarding the use of new climate-friendly insulating gases in electrical energy technology.
QS World University Rankings: Top ranking for Electrical Engineering
In the latest QS rankings by subject, ETH ranks among the top ten in 16 disciplines. Electrical Engineering improves from fifth to an excellent fourth place worldwide.
This AI will probably beat you in an IQ test
In a joint publication by the team of Prof. Luca Benini at the Integrated Systems Laboratory (IIS) and IBM Research Zürich in "Nature Machine Intelligence", the researchers report on the construction of a neuro-vector-symbolic AI model capable of solving Raven’s matrices with an 88% success rate.
Dr. Corsin Battaglia appointed as Adjunct Professor
Dr. Corsin Battaglia, currently D-ITET Lecturer and Group Leader at Empa, has been appointed as Adjunct Professor by the ETH board. Corsin Battaglia's research investigates the flow of charge in different battery materials and generates fundamental knowledge which improves the performance, stability, cost and sustainability of devices.
Quantum cooling in two dimensions
Researchers at ETH Zurich with the support of colleagues from University of Innsbruck in Austria and TII in Abu Dhabi have succeeded in simultaneously cooling the motion of a levitated nanoparticle in two dimensions to the quantum ground-state.
"I want to bridge the gap between software and hardware"
Lana Josipović is an assistant professor and head of the Digital Systems and Design Automation Group (DYNAMO) at the Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory (TIK) of D-ITET. In our interview, she talks about her research and her brand-new course “Synthesis of Digital Circuits”, and she explains how motivated students inspire her.
How resonant modulators supercharge connectivity
Researchers at the Institute of Electromagnetic Fields (IEF) and Polariton Technologies have developed a novel optical data transmitter that could make supercomputers and data centres much more energy efficient. It allows multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously at high speed and reduces the complexity of the associated controls.
