UCI-UCLA Samueli Engineering: 1st Privacy Workshop

Monday June 17, 2024, University of California, Irvine

Organizers: Athina Markopoulou (UCI), Yuan Tian (UCLA), Zhou Li (UCI), Suhas Diggavi (UCLA)
Administrative Support: Marilyne Tamayo (UC Irvine)

What: UCI-UCLA Samueli Engineering: 1st Privacy Workshop

When: Monday, June 17, 2024 | 9am – 5pm

Where: Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB) 1200, at UC Irvine

Why: Funded by a Samueli donation, to further strengthen the ties between the two UCLA and UCI Samueli Schools of Engineering, foster research collaboration between the two schools, and lead to joint proposals. This one-day workshop focuses on the topic of Privacy and invites engineering faculty, as well as privacy policy and law experts from both UCI and UCLA, to attend. The program will consist of faculty presentations, student posters and breakout/brainstorming sessions. The goal is to identify teams with common interests, facilitate collaborations, and pursue funding opportunities. A second, followup, workshop may be be held in Fall 2024.
