This December, the Faculty of Engineering at #USyd 🇦🇺 is delighted to welcome Prof. Shafi Goldwasser, who will deliver a Dean's Lecture on "Constructing Trust: A Cryptographic Tool Kit!"
Abstract: For decades now cryptographic tools and models have at their essence transformed technology platforms controlled by worst case adversaries to trustworthy platforms. This talk will describe how interactive proofs and cryptographic modeling can be used to build trust in legal domains and various phases of the machine learning pipelines, including verification of LLM outputs.
🕒 Wednesday, Dec 10
3:00—5:00pm
(includes lecture and networking)📍Eastern Avenue Auditorium (F19)

A tipping point at the University of Sydney: international students now outnumber Australians.
While this underscores the global appeal of our unis, it also screams about the chronic underfunding of domestic higher education. We've become reliant on full-fee paying students to keep the lights on. Is this sustainable?#AusPol #Universities #InternationalEducation #Sydney #USYD #freeeducation

📢 Come be my colleague: the School of #ComputerScience at 🇦🇺 #USyd is hiring!
Multiple tenure-track-equivalent positions across the board (including theoretical CS/algorithms!), but with a specific focus on Cybersecurity and Trustworthy Digital Systems, and ML/AI.
If you have questions about #Sydney, the School of CS, USyd, or research in Australia, let me know: happy to chat and give context!
Also worth mentioning: "The School of CS strongly encourages women and candidates from underrepresented groups in Engineering to apply.”

Do Indigenous Australians get good deals from mining companies that extract rare earth minerals on their lands?
As Professor Park explains, we don't really know because of a lack of transparency. "Co-benefit" agreements are opaque.

CW: auspol, vile, zionism
The University of Sydney is attempting to deport a trans woman because she wrote pro-Palestine sentences on whiteboards.
Because she is an international student, being removed from the university would mean she would be deported, which would put her at risk.
Luna has requested an extension for this reason, so she can apply for a bridging visa, but USYD have denied her request despite knowing the risk they're putting her in. This is disgusting.

Really interesting report on #research being conducted at #USyd around #ClimateChange and the body's ability to adapt to #heat and #humidity - the long-held wet bulb limit of 35C may actually be much lower in many circumstances

#Students at top #Australian #universities have also set up #Gaza solidarity camps. #UniversityOfSydney and #UniversityOfMelbourne have followed a similar pattern to the ones in the United States, with students demanding their institutions cut ties with companies that supply #Israel's military. #SydneyUniversity #GazaSolidarityCamp organiser Jasmine Alrawi has more on the #protests.

Going to work at the University of Sydney is incredible. Here, a Kookaburra, fiercely and proudly looking at its nearby nest (a hollow in a tree of Victoria Park, two minutes from my building). #USyd #OwnPic #BirdsofOz
