SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Arjuna Madanayak
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 138 \nMultidimensional Signal Processing Circuits for Low-SWaP Multi-Beam Arrays \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, array processing circuits that exploit the computing paradigm of approximate computing are explored. Low-size\, -weight\, and -power consumption (SWaP) algorithms and circuits are proposed to achieve thousands of fully-digital beams for emerging applications. The proposed low-SWaP multibeam digital beamformers use approximate computing to enable up to 90% smaller circuit complexity compared to FFT-based techniques used to achieve multiple orthogonal RF beams. Furthermore\, the proposed array processing systems exploit wave physics to improve the performance of key signal processing components in wireless base stations. Specifically\, the spatiotemporal causality properties of electromagnetic plane waves – as described in Special Theory of Relativity – are used in novel multi-port transceiver circuits to improve energy efficiency\, reduce additive white Gaussian noise\, and improve linearity of array receivers at the physical layer. The multi-dimensional frequency-domain region of support (ROS) of all propagating plane waves\, which correspond to wireless propagation channels\, are shown to be confined inside the “Light Cone”. The region of spacetime outside this light cone is a void (elsewhere) within which wireless communications signals cannot propagate. A “cone of silence” appears in the multidimensional spacetime frequency domain\, which demarcates a conical region outside of which waves do not exist. The aim is to spatio-temporally shape noise and transceiver distortion into this electromagnetically silent region so that their presence does not affect the performance of arrays. The technique enables multi-port versions of LNAs\, ADCs\, and DACs for array processing that exploits noise and shaping in multiple dimensions in space and time to greatly improve performance. \nBio: \nDr. Arjuna Madanayake is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Florida International University.

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Photochemistry as a Tool for imaging\, Priming and Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tayyaba Hasan\, Professor\, Harvard Medical School Health Sciences & Technology\, Harvard-MIT \n236 Richards Hall \nOptically Activated Nanomedicines: Photochemistry as a Tool for imaging\, Priming and Therapy \nTayyaba Hasan\, PhD \nWellman Center for Photomedicine\, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School\, Boston\, MA 02114\, USA; Division of Health Sciences and Technology\, Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, MA 02139\, USA \nOptical activation of materials leads to thermal\, photochemical and radiative processes which can be captured for response-based therapeutic design. The ability to use light as a reagent to control drug release further allows for the fabrication of light controllable intelligent multiagent constructs that attack multiple pathways making the nanomedicines more effective against cancer. Combination therapy is a fairly well accepted standard for cancer treatment and management of other diseases. Typically\, these are administered separately with their own pharmacokinetics\, hitting targets at different times which reduces the synergism potential. Nanomedicines\, to some extent can overcome this limitation by delivering the multiple agents to the target site at the same time provided there is synergism in any aspect of the agents. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemistry-based process that is approved for several clinical applications world-wide. It involves the exposure of light activatable molecules to appropriate wavelengths that leads to the generation of active molecular species that is responsible for targeted death. There are many unique attributes to this process. Because of the requirement of light and the photosensitizer being present at the same place at the same time there is an additional level of selectivity. Neither light alone nor the photosensitizer have an effect on target cells by themselves. In addition to the direct cytotoxic effect\, the photodynamic activation primes the microenvironment in a process call PhotoDynamic Priming (PDP) to enable a more potent response to conventional treatments so the PDP becomes an enabler of other treatments\, particularly when administered in a Nanoplatform. Strategies for syntheses and applications in biology and medicine will be discussed. \n\nBio: Tayyaba Hasan\, Ph.D.\, is a Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School and is a Professor at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. She is a leader in photochemical approaches to treatment and diagnosis using targeted strategies and incorporating nanotechnology. She is an inventor of the FDA approved photodynamic treatment of the leading cause of blindness in the western world\, Age-Related Macular Degeneration used in millions of treatments. Her impact on Global Health includes two of her inventions of simple\, smart phone-based\, low-cost devices\, which are being evaluated in clinical studies for treatment of oral cancer and antibiotic identification\, in India and Thailand respectively. In recognition of her translational work and innovations she was the recipient of the NIH’s Pioneer Award in Biomedical Optics\, Bench to Bedside Translation. She was awarded the Britton Chance Biomedical Optics Award in recognition of trailblazing contributions to the field of Photodynamic Therapy\, clinical translation and leadership to the photonics community. She has received four Lifetime Achievement awards from leading scientific organizations including the International Photodynamic Association. She has approximately 300 publications and has 12 US issued patents. She leads 2 multicenter international NCI funded programs for developing and translating innovative treatments of oral\, pancreatic and skin cancers. \nHosted by Chemical Engineering

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Engineering a Long-lasting Pill
DESCRIPTION:Location: 333 Curry Student Center \nHelen Markewich\, Bioengineering Assistant Teaching Professor\, Northeastern University \nDr. Ambika Bajpayee\, Bioengineering Assistant Professor\, Northeastern University \nEngineering a Long-lasting Pill \nAssistant Professor Ambika Bajpayee in the Department of Bioengineering is working to develop a pill that unfolds to a structure in the stomach too large to pass to the small intestine. This way\, the pill remains in the stomach for a month\, slowly releasing medication in the face of mechanical and chemical digestive forces. In this event\, Prof Bajpayee will present her work on this new type of pill. Then\, Prof Bajpayee and Prof Markewich will show attendees how to create their own “pill” according to a set of design constraints. Attendees will observe how their design unfolds in a “stomach”. \nDr. Ambika Bajpayee works on drug delivery to connective and charged tissues such as cartilage\, meniscus\, intervertebral disc and mucosal membranes. Her lab utilizes concepts of nanomedicine and bio-electrostatics to design polypeptides and protein-based carriers for targeted and sustained delivery of small molecule drugs\, protein growth factors\, antibodies and genetic materials to specific intra-tissue and intra-cellular target sites inside connective tissues. A main focus is on using charge interactions and other binding mechanisms to rationally design drug carriers that can penetrate through the dense matrix of avascular\, negatively charged tissues. Her lab is also interested in understanding mechanisms leading to degenerative joint diseases (e.g.\, osteoarthritis) due to ageing and traumatic injuries. The group strives to combine basic science with translational research to develop biomedical technologies. \nDr. Helen Markewich is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Northeastern University in Boston\, MA.  Her specialty is lab-based and hands-on learning.  She received her PhD from Cornell University and her BS from Georgia Tech.  She also worked in biotech and in the water industry.
