It has been called the most magical place on Earth. But the secret to much of Disney’s “magic” is actually state-of-the-art engineering. For the past seven years, Joohyung Kim has helped to create the science behind the robots and animatronics that entertain millions each year.
At the flagship conference for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) this week, 20 graduate students from universities all over the world received a Predoctoral Achievement Award. Two of those students conduct research here at CSL.
CSL Assistant Professor Zhizhen Zhao was recently named as one of the 126 recipients of the 2020 Sloan Research Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The 15th CSL Student Conference
The Coordinated Science Laboratory Student Conference (CSLSC) is a student-organized annual flagship event of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The conference is held at the university campus and gathers scientists from academia and industry to discuss cutting-edge research problems from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
The 15th CSLSC will be held in Champaign, Illinois, on February 26-28, 2020, and will feature invited talks and keynote speakers, regular papers presented in poster sessions, as well as technical sessions on selected topics. Social events such as receptions, banquets and lunches are also included to give guests the opportunity to exchange ideas and network. More information and registration available here.

Recent discussion in the public sphere about classification by algorithms has involved tension between competing notions of what it means for such a classification to be fair to different groups. We consider several of the key fairness conditions that lie at the heart of these debates, and discuss recent research establishing inherent trade-offs between these conditions. We also consider a variety of methods for promoting fairness and related notions for classification and ranking problems that involve sets rather than just individuals. This talk is based on joint work with Sendhil Mullainathan and Manish Raghavan.
