Distinguished Lectures
Multi-disciplinary talks from invited speakers hosted by the EE Department. Lecture videos are viewable and/or downloadable by the Stanford community only (SUNet ID and password required).
Information Theory Forum
The Information Theory Forum (IT-Forum) at Stanford ISL is an interdisciplinary academic forum which focuses on mathematical aspects of information processing. With a primary emphasis on information theory, researchers from signal processing, learning and statistical inference, control and optimization are also welcome to deliver talks. The forum is typically held in Packard 202 every Friday at 1:00 pm during the academic year.
Information Systems Lab (ISL) Colloquium
The Information Systems Laboratory Colloquium (ISLC) is typically held in Packard 101 every Thursday at 4:15 pm during the academic year.
SmartGrid Seminar
Themes include optimizing transmission and distribution systems, including new energy resources like distributed generation, energy storage, deferrable demand and intermittent renewable power. The hour-long seminars are held at 1 p.m. approximately every other Thursday.
Kailath Lecture
An annual lecture with mathematical engineering topics.
Computer Systems Colloquium (EE 380)
Meets on Wednesdays 4:15PM-5:30PM throughout the academic year. Talks are given before a live audience in Room B01 in the basement of the Gates Computer Science Building. The live talks (and the videos) are open to the public.
Computer Science Department Lecture Series (CS 300)
Offered to incoming first-year PhD students in the Autumn quarter. The seminar gives CS faculty the opportunity to speak about their research, which allows new CS PhD students the chance to learn about the professors and their research before permanently aligning.
SCIEN
The Stanford Center for Image Systems Engineering (SCIEN) is a partnership between the Stanford School of Engineering and technology companies developing imaging systems for the enhancement of human communication.
SystemX Alliance (EE310)
The Stanford SystemX Alliance is a collaboration between Stanford University and member industrial firms to produce world-class research and Ph.D. graduates with a view to enabling truly ubiquitous sensing, computing and communication with embedded intelligence.
