Details

Micro-Seminars have two parts. Attendance to both parts is required. Registering for the PART ONE session will automatically enroll you in the PART TWO session on Friday.

Part 1: Thursday, August 22, 2024 from 3:00 – 4:30 pm (PST)
Part 2: Friday, August 23, 2024 from 10:00 – 11:30 am (PST)

Wearables are fun and exciting, and most importantly, they provide insights into our health and mind. In this seminar, we will go under the hood to see what's inside these engineering marvels. We will break apart a smartwatch and learn how they work and how can we design wearables of our own. Students will learn engineering design, and how applied physics, chemistry, and math come together in making electronic devices.

On day 1, we will learn about electronic design through the lens of wearables.

On day 2, we will use a custom wearable to gather data from students and analyze the signal to get health insights.

This seminar is intended for prospective engineering and physical sciences undergraduate students.

Lead By: Professor Yasser Khan

Prof. Yasser Khan joined the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California as an Assistant Professor in 2022. Yasser’s research focuses on additive manufacturing and hardware AI to produce skin-like wearables, implantables, and ingestibles. These medical devices are being used for precision health and psychiatry. As an expert in flexible and stretchable electronics, he published over 50 research publications in the most reputed platforms in the field, which were highlighted by BBC News, Wall Street Journal, NSF News. Yasser received the Google Research Award, USC Zumberge Award, EECS departmental fellowship at UC Berkeley, discovery scholarship and graduate fellowship at KAUST, and academic excellence scholarship at UT Dallas.
