The Obama Administration is aggressively innovating in order to use information technology to improve health. Unprecedented amounts of health data will be made available, and the Administration is encouraging the development of Web 2.0 and other technologies to transform that data into useful tools for understanding public policy, selecting insurance coverage and evaluating the quality of providers.
Recent events in the field of climate change have confused both the public and many “experts.” I will try to elucidate what has been happening. Two out of three climate groups show no global warming for the past 13 years.
This talk will survey results of the Secure Machine Learning group at UC Berkeley. We will discuss machine learning applied to security. Unlike conventional approaches to machine learning, security presents Byzantine adversaries who adapt to various techniques and attempt to make machine learning systems mislearn.
In his talk, Dr. Jacob will take you on a guided tour of what your life could be in the short and long-term future. We are increasingly living in a physical world augmented by the arrival of many digital worlds. When you watch a movie, you don’t know when the real actors are shown on the screen versus wire-framed computer-generated clones.

At this student-led seminar, selected EPG/BERC Members will provide short briefings on their recent energy and water resource policy analysis and advocacy efforts, as well as field questions from the audience.
We recently completed a dense electrical metering and wireless sensor network deployment in Cory Hall as part of a California Energy Commission supported Building-to-Grid Testbed to explore how an extremely complex load can potentially cooperate with the grid, both for demand response and for increasing the penetration of renewable supplies.
This April Peter released his second book, Smart Power: Climate Change, the Smart Grid, and the Future of Electric Utilities. Smart Power examines the industry’s technology, cost characteristics, and ability to function as a sustainable business.
IBM has made a generous gift of a cloud computing cluster, housed in a dedicated laboratory in Sutardja Dai Hall that will lend significant resources to solving some of the most challenging problems facing us in energy and water.
