Lapo Miccinesi’s mission to Iran

Posted Posted in PhDinfo Blog

Lapo Miccinesi was in Iran from March 1st to March 11th in the framework of the formal agreement between the Department of Information Engineer, University of Florence, and Zamin Sanjesh Rayan (GeoRAYAN), Teheran, Iran. The travel was partially founded by the travel found of XXXII cycle of PhD course in Information Engineering. During this period, Lapo Miccinesi […]

PhDinfo Seminar: Benedetta Picano on “Predicting passenger demand problem for Didi, a Chinese ride-sharing company”

Posted Posted in PhDinfo Seminars

  The work addresses the predicting passenger demand problem for Didi, a Chinese ride-sharing company. The passenger demand forecasting has been pursued by resorting to chaos theory. More in detail, in order to predict a nonlinear time series exploiting its chaotic features, its chaotic behavior has to be verified. In this respect, I’ll explain how […]

PhDinfo internal seminars: Giulio Galvan on “Decomposition methods: ADMM & friends”

Posted Posted in PhDinfo Seminars

Giulio gave us a very nice presentation on his research topic, based on the ADMM (Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers) algorithm. The presentation was nicely divided into 4 parts:1 – Love (decomposition methods)2 – The other man (ADMM)3 – Getting the girl back (ADMM+decomposition, or something similar…)4 – No title (I suggest: daring more difficult […]

In the last month, I got to attend two conferences on “Quantum Computing” broadly speaking thanks to the PhD funds. Here’s my summary of what happened. QUBITS Europe QUBITS is the name of the D-Wave’s users group meeting, there’s a European chapter (in Milan this year) and an American chapter. The conference was focused on the news in D-Wave quantum computers […]

Multi-objective optimization of integrated circuits and systems

Posted Posted in PhDinfo Courses

Prof. E. Tlelo CuautleMercoledì, 15 maggio⋅09:00 – 13:00 Designing integrated circuits using modern nano-metric technologies is challenging because a very small variation in their design parameters may deviate the desired operation and then degrade the performance of the circuit. Another issue is that integrated circuits and systems can have many target specifications that may be […]
