Many existing materials also exhibit complex electronic structures that interfere with the full expression of quantum phenomena. Dr. Milena Jovanovic's research addresses these challenges by combining chemistry, materials science, and machine learning to design new quantum materials. Her approach explores delocalized bonding to create materials with cleaner electronic structures and investigates how light can be used to engineer quantum materials under standard conditions. This work could pave the way for more practical applications of quantum technologies. 👩‍🏫 Speaker: Dr. Milena Jovanovic, Assistant Professor at NC State, earned her Ph.D. in chemical physics from the University of Colorado Boulder and conducted postdoctoral research at Princeton University. Her research focuses on the connection between chemical bonding and the properties of quantum materials, including topological insulators, semimetals, and flat-band materials. 💻 Join the seminar on Zoom: go.ncsu.edu/ece-seminar See more details •	8	9

While conventional data compression methods assume weak dependencies between symbols, graph structures introduce complex relationships that render these methods suboptimal. Dr. Justin P. Coon will provide an introduction to graph compression, discussing key challenges, practical solutions, and information-theoretic limits. The seminar will explore emerging methods for compressing graphs, highlighting their applications in large-scale data analysis and network modeling. Dr. Coon will also discuss the fundamental constraints that govern how efficiently graphs can be compressed while preserving essential structural properties. 👨‍🏫 Speaker: Dr. Justin P. Coon, Professor of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. Dr. Coon received his Ph.D. in communications from the University of Bristol and has held research leadership positions at Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. His contributions to physical layer communications and network modeling have earned him multiple awards, including Toshiba’s Distinguished Research Award. His research interests include graph compression, data privacy, and communications. 💻 Join the seminar on Zoom: go.ncsu.edu/ece-seminar See more details •	22 Engineering Open House Engineering Open House March 22, 2025 9:00 am - 2:00 pm See more details •	23
