SUMMARY:Innovative Solutions to Fight Ocean Pollution
DESCRIPTION:18 billion pounds of plastic enter our oceans each year\, a harrowing fact that only accounts for a portion of our planet’s pollution crisis. Northeastern innovators are tackling this problem to create sustainable solutions for cleaner oceans. Bureo Inc\, an emerging B-Corp\, has created a program to recycle fishing nets into a NetPlus™ material\, used in products by Patagonia and other partner companies. \nJoin the conversation to fight plastic pollution with Ben Kneppers\, E’07\, co-founder and COO of Bureo Inc.\, and Maarten Eenkema van Dijk\, E’14\, MS’15\, operations manager for Van Dyk Recycling Solutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is complimentary but registration is required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:ECE Seminar: Paolo Santi
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Title: IoT: An Enabling Technology for Designing Better Cities \nLocation: Zoom Link \nAbstract:  IoT is rapidly evolving into an enabling technology with countless potential applications. In this seminar\, we will explore how IoT technology can help in the design of better cities\, starting from the re-design of city systems and infrastructures (mobility\, power grid\, etc.) based on large- scale data acquisition. We will highlight the challenges related to systems where real-time actuation is a need\, as well as those related to design problems where actuation occurs on a longer time scale\, such as urban infrastructure planning. We will then show how IoT technology can be used also to gain a deeper understanding of how humans interact with existing urban systems. This deeper comprehension of human behavior is key to design systems that are not only “algorithmically” efficient\, but that also conform to fundamental human behavioral patterns. \nBio: Paolo Santi is Principal Research Scientist at MIT Senseable City Lab and Research Director at the Istituto di Informatica e Telematica\, CNR\, Pisa\, Italy. Dr. Santi holds a “Laurea” degree and the PhD in computer science from the University of Pisa\, Italy. Dr. Santi is a member of the IEEE Computer Society and has recently been recognized as\nDistinguished Scientist by the Association for Computing Machinery. His research interest is in the modeling and analysis of complex systems ranging from wireless multi hop\nnetworks to sensor and vehicular networks and\, more recently\, smart mobility and intelligent transportation systems. In these fields\, he has contributed more than 160 scientific papers and two books.

SUMMARY:ECE Seminar: Mojtaba Sharifi
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Title: Research Background and Experience in Medical Robotics\,Human-Robot Interaction\, and Collaborative/Assistive Devices \nLocation: Zoom Link \nAbstract: In this talk\, Mojtaba Sharifi will go over the research projects he has done in the field of Medical Robotics\, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)\, and Collaborative/Assistive Robotics during the past ten years. His presentation is organized in three sections\, which cover his research achievements chronologically from his MSc to the current Postdoc position. The first one is devoted to his main research area during the MSc and Ph.D. programs on the “Control of HRI: Medical Robotic and Tele-Robotic Systems”. After that\, he will touch upon his recent contribution made on the “Interaction Learning and Autonomy for Collaborative Robots and Assistive Exoskeletons”\, during the postdoctoral research. The last part of this presentation is dedicated to his past and ongoing projects on the “Human Musculoskeletal Modeling & Soft Exoskeletons for Safe HRI”\, for biomedical applications. Throughout this presentation\, the theoretical and experimental aspects of these studies will be elaborated on.   \n Biography: Mojtaba Sharifi received the B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Shiraz University\, Shiraz\, Iran\, in 2010 and the M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology\, Tehran\, Iran\, in 2012. He conducted a collaborative project in the Telerobotic and Biorobotic Systems Lab of the University of Alberta\, Canada\, from 2015 to 2016 as a visiting doctoral researcher. Then\, he earned a Ph.D. degree in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sharif University of Technology\, Tehran\, Iran\, in 2017. Mojtaba also performed an interdisciplinary research project on the design and fabrication of new soft robotic actuators in 2019 as a research associate at the University College London\, UK. He has published more than 40 papers and chapters in high-quality journals\, conferences\, and books on his interdisciplinary theoretical-experimental research. His research interests include the design and implementation of autonomous control systems\, physical human-robot interaction (pHRI)\, medical robotics (rehabilitation\, surgery\, and imaging)\, control of musculoskeletal systems\, impedance control and learning\, haptics\, collaborative– and tele-robotics\, soft robotics\, wearable\, and assistive mechatronic systems (exoskeleton and prosthesis). Mojtaba is the recipient of a postdoctoral fellowship award\, working at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Medicine\, University of Alberta\, Canada. He is now investigating new autonomous control policies employing adaptive learning rules for the Central Pattern Generation (CPG) to update and personalize the human locomotion\, which is to be tracked by a lower-limb powered exoskeleton with optimized torque and FES inputs. He is also leading a project that aims to design\, fabricate\, and implement soft robotic systems for safely assisting people with upper-limb weakness.
