ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will overview my decadelong journey into understanding the implications of online platform manipulation. I'll start from detecting malicious bots and other forms of manipulation including troll accounts, coordinated campaigns, and disinformation operations. The impact of my work will be corroborated with…

ABSTRACT: Time-critical missions are among the most important classes of tasks yet to fully benefit from agile autonomous micro aerial vehicles. At the same time, such missions require developing algorithms that enable these robots to navigate safely, and make effective decisions on resource-constrained hardware. In this talk I…

ABSTRACT: In this lecture first we will discuss the current trends and challenges in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). In addition to the fundamentals of ML, we will demonstrate the importance of using Deep Learning (DL), Graph neural network (GNN) and explainable AI. While DL has been used very successfully…

ABSTRACT: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are widely used to study the mechanisms of biological processes at an atomistic resolution. Most physiological events, e.g., drug-target binding and protein folding, occur at timescales beyond milliseconds. But, we can simulate only up to a few microseconds at an affordable…
