ECE 598 class schedule data for spring 2014
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
60719	Lecture	MAB	3:30PM -4:50PM	TR	245 Everitt Laboratory	Belabbas, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/14-05/07/14 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Geometric Control Theory Section Info: Prerequisites: ECE 515. This course introduces methods for the study of linear and nonlinear input-output dynamical systems from a geometric viewpoint. Topics include controllability, observability, feedback linearization, stability, and qualitative behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems. Concepts from differential geometry, topology and from Lie theory will be developed as needed. A special emphasis will be given to the study of decentralized control systems and the study of classical and quantum mechanical systems. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
60363	Lecture	PM	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	163 Everitt Laboratory	Moulin, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/14-05/07/14 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Comput. Inference & Learning Section Info: Prerequisites: ECE 490, ECE 534. Computational inference and machine learning have seen a surge of interest in the last 15 years, motivated by applications as diverse as computer vision, speech recognition, analysis of networks and distributed systems, big-data analytics, large-scale computer simulations, and indexing and searching of very large databases. This new course will introduce the mathematical and computational methods that enable such applications. Topics include computational methods for statistical inference, information theory, sparsity analysis, approximate inference and search, and fast optimization. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
60436	Lecture	RPP	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	106B1 Engineering Hall	Pilawa, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/14-05/07/14 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Advanced Power Electronics Section Info: Prerequisites: ECE 464 or equivalent. This course covers advanced topics in power electronics, including control, circuit topologies, inductor and transformer design, and high efficiency techniques such as resonant power conversion and light-load operation. Numerous application examples will be provided, such as solar photovoltaics, power-supply on a chip, and low-voltage, low-power converters used in portable electronic devices. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
