The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program in Information
Technology (SURF-IT) at Calit2 Irvine presents the third in its
four-part summer seminar series, featuring faculty projects involving
SURF-IT students.

 

The seminar session will include a light lunch, served at 11:45 a.m.,
and two 20-minute research talks.

 

    The session will be held:

 

    August 9, 2005   (Tuesday) 

 

    UCI Calit2 Building, Room 3008

 

==============================================

 

Noon  

 

Speaker:    Kristen Monroe

            Professor

Political Science -- Director, UCI Interdisciplinary Center   for the
Scientific Study

            

Title:      "The Compassionate Self: Can Video and Computer Games Evoke
the Empathic Involvement that Fosters the Altruistic Perspective?"

 

Abstract:  In general, this project studies the problem of what drives
ethical treatment of others, can it be taught, and if so, how can we
best do this. Literature on what causes ethical treatment of others
traditionally offers 2 approaches: disposition versus situation. This
project proposes a third route: phenotypic - multifaceted self, with
diverse parts evoked by stimuli from external environment, e.g.,
friends, context. 

 

            Undergraduate Researcher:  Cathryn O'Neill

 

 

==============================================

 

12:30 p.m.

 

Speaker:    Hamid Jafarkhani

            Associate Professor

            Electrical Engineering & Computer Science

 

Title:      "Channel modeling in wireless communication"

 

Abstract:  This talk will begin with a general discussion of wireless
communications and its different components, continuing with description
of different impairments in wireless channels. It will show how one can
mathematically model the physical phenomenon's in a wireless channel and
how to use these mathematical models to analyze and design wireless
communication systems. In conclusion, the speaker will briefly
illustrate the implementation of these mathematical models using
computer simulation. 

            

Undergraduate Researcher: Pooya Monajemi

The final SURF-IT seminar will be held August 23.
