SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Victor Baracos
DESCRIPTION:Victor Barocas\, Ph.D. \nProfessor\, Department of Biomedical Engineering\, University of Minnesota \n“Computer Modeling of Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm\, or How I Learned Accept Change\, Variability\, and Failure as a Part of Life” \nWednesday\, October 20th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nABSTRACT: \nAscending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (ATAA)\, a condition in which the section of the aorta immediately adjacent to the heart becomes enlarged\, presents a major clinical challenge. The disease is largely asymptomatic and harmless unless the tissue dissects or ruptures\, in which case severe consequences almost always ensue. Repair surgery is costly and carries a 2-4% chance of patient mortality. The challenge\, then\, is to decide whether to perform the surgery when the patient might be just fine without it. Current guidelines are based primarily on aneurysm size\, but numerous other potential biomarkers exist\, including other geometric measures\, mechanical measures\, genetic factors\, and biofluidic factors; some of these are directly attainable in the clinic\, and others are attainable through patient specific computer models. Our group is exploring ATAA with a combination of computer and experimental models in hope of identifying better ways to assess patient risk. The seminar will discuss computer models at both the tissue and the structural scale\, how they relate to experimental studies\, and where I see us and the field going in the future \nBIOGRAPHY: \nVictor Barocas is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota\, where he has taught since 2000. His research focuses on soft-tissue biomechanics\, with applications in the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Experimental work focuses on novel techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties\, particularly in heterogeneous tissues\, and his computational work focuses on structural and multiscale models of tissue mechanics. He has served for the last ten years as co-Editor-in-Chief of the ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. \nInterested in attending? Email Liz at e.chesley@northeastern.edu for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Towards Sustainable Energy and Materials: Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. A.-H. Alissa Park\, Ph.D \nLenfest Earth Institute Professor of Climate Change\nDepartment of Earth and Environmental Engineering & Department of Chemical Engineering\nDirector of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy\,\nColumbia University \nTowards Sustainable Energy and Materials: Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage  \nAbstract: \nIn order to meet the ever-increasing global energy demands while stabilizing the atmospheric CO2 level\, the development of carbon capture\, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies is one of the critical needs. In particular\, there has been significant efforts to develop CO2 capture solvents and some (e.g.\, amine-based aqueous solvents) have shown very promising results. Unfortunately\, the energy requirement for the current aqueous solvent systems is still considered to be too high. Thus\, efforts have been focused on the development of second and third-generation CO2 capture solvents which are often water-free. Nanoparticle Organic Hybrid Materials (NOHMs) are a new class of organic-inorganic hybrids that consist of a hard nanoparticle core functionalized with a molecular organic corona that possesses a high degree of chemical and physical tunability. It has recently been discovered that NOHMs have interesting electrolyte properties which may allow the CO2 capture to be pulled by the in-situ CO2 conversion reactions. The development of these unique nanoscale hybrid materials will not only advance CO2 capture materials design but also introduce unique research opportunities in various energy and environmental fields. This seminar will discuss the challenges and opportunities of different CO2 capture and conversion pathways including Negative Emission Technologies (e.g.\, Direct Air Capture) that can allow the development of circular carbon and hydrogen economy using renewable energy. \nBio: \nAh-Hyung (Alissa) Park is the Lenfest Earth Institute Professor of Climate Change in the Departments of Earth and Environmental Engineering & Chemical Engineering at Columbia University. She is also the Director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy. Her research focuses on sustainable energy and materials conversion pathways with emphasis on integrated Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies addressing climate change. Park group is also working on Direct Air Capture of CO2 and Negative Emission Technologies including BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and sustainable construction materials with low carbon intensity. Park received a number of professional awards and honors including the U.S. C3E Research Award (2018)\, PSRI Lectureship Award in Fluidization at AIChE (2018)\, ACS Energy and Fuels Division – Emerging Researcher Award (2018)\, ACS WCC Rising Star Award (2017)\, and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2009). Park also led a number of global and national discussions on CCUS including the Mission Innovation Workshop on Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage in 2017 and the National Petroleum Council CCUS Report in 2019. She is an elected Fellow of AIChE\, AAAS\, ACS\, and RSC. \n  \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the remote seminar link.

SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Chengju Yu
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Development of Interface-Engineered Thin Films and Magnetodielectric Bulk Composites for MMIC Applications \nChengju Yu \nLocation: Zoom Link \nAbstract: Magnetodielectric materials are ubiquitous in electronic\, energy\, automotive\, communication\, and medical systems over radio frequency bands from high frequency to quasi-optical frequencies. With recent developments in modern power and communication technologies\, improvements in magnetic materials and related components have attracted a great deal of attention from academic and industrial research groups.\nIn this proposal review\, we demonstrate multiple paths to the development of next generation magnetodielectric thin films and bulk composites that offer disruptive advances to performance and size reduction\, including:\n(i) Consistent and reliable processing protocols are established using interface-engineered barium magnetoplumbite films deposited on Si-polar SiC substrates with AlN capping layers and MgO nucleation layers for microwave and millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs);\n(ii) Both thin and thick yttrium iron garnet films are achieved using PLD and LPE with outstanding crystalline and magnetic properties to meet the needs of magnonics and spintronics technologies; (iii) Inductor cores are developed for power generation\, conversion\, conditioning functions for use in power electronic systems and high-power pulse generators operating at 100s kHz and 100s MHz frequencies\, respectively. Power loss and thermal management models of non-linear magnetic inductors are established and implemented with viable paths demonstrated using interface-engineered composites as a means of achieving high magnetization\, high permeability\, low core losses.\nThe common theme of all three projects is the engineering of the chemistry\, structure\, magnetic and electric properties of the interface between the principal layers\, films\, and grains that constitute the product in order to optimize performance.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Rebecca Heise
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Heise\, Ph.D. \nAssociate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director\, Department of Biomedical Engineering\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, Richmond VA \n“Breaking Barriers: Evaluating the Alveolar-Capilary Barrier in Lung Injury and Repair” \nWednesday\, October 27th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nBehrakis 010 \nABSTRACT: \nLung injuries such as acute respiratory distress syndrome\, acute lung injury\, or ventilator-associated lung injury cause disruption in the alveolar-capillary barrier leading to edema and lack of gas exchange. The mechanical environment in the lung plays an important role in maintaining this barrier. The constantly moving lung subjects cells to mechanical strain and shear stress during normal breathing. Lung injury\, aging extracellular matrix\, and obstructive pulmonary diseases alter this mechanical environment\, changing the strain\, shear stress\, and stiffness of the pulmonary extracellular matrix. The present talk will discuss how these mechanical changes alter cellular signaling and function focusing on aging alveolar epithelial cells and macrophages in murine ventilator-induced lung injury and the role of extracellular matrix in alveolar epithelial barrier formation. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nDr. Heise is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director of Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). She holds an affiliate appointment in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at VCU and is a member of the Massey Cancer Center and the Johnson Center for Critical Care and Pulmonary Research. She earned her B.S. in Chemical Engineering with an additional major in Biomedical and Health Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2003. She then earned her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 2008. She then did her Postdoctoral work in the Laboratory of Respiratory Biology at the NIEHS in Research Triangle Park\, NC. She joined the faculty of Biomedical Engineering at VCU in 2010. \nDr. Heise’s research focuses on pulmonary mechanobiology and regenerative medicine.

SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Engineering directed Transport and Collective Dynamics of Charged Colloids under Electric Fields
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Carlos A. Silvera Batista \nDepartment of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering \nVanderbilt University \nEngineering directed Transport and Collective Dynamics of Charged Colloids under Electric Fields \nAbstract: \nGradients in electrical potential (electric fields)\, along with gradients in concentration of ionic species\, are a principal way to control the motion of colloids. The surface and body forces that electric fields exert on anisotropic colloids have opened new applications in self-propulsion\, transport of cargo\, dynamic assembly\, and directed assembly. This talk focuses on the long-range transport of charged colloids\, as well as on the dynamic assembly of anisotropic and active colloids. In the first part\, we present a study of the dynamics of charged colloids under direct currents and gradients of chemical species (electrodiffusiophoresis). In our approach\, we developed a method to simultaneously visualize the progression of concentration polarization and the ensuing dynamics of charged colloids near electrodes. With the aid of confocal microscopy\, we show that the passage of current through water induce the focusing and aggregation of charged colloids away from both electrodes. Preliminary experiments show that this phenomenon can potentially be useful to perform focusing\, trapping and separation operations in lab-on-a-chip devices. In the second part\, we discuss strategies to tailor the propulsion and collective dynamics of Janus particles (JPs) under electric fields. We engineer the relaxation time of JPs by controlling the properties of the medium and the particles. The insights from this study provide helpful quantitative information for the design of colloidal machines with targeted propulsion\, interparticle interactions and collective dynamics. In addition\, our results provide the experimental basis for the design of non-equilibrium strategies for materials fabrication. \nBio: \nDr. Carlos A. Silvera Batista initiated undergraduate studies in chemical engineering at the Universidad de San Buenaventura (Cartagena\, Colombia) and subsequently obtained a bachelor’s degree from the City College of New York (CCNY). Dr. Silvera began his research trajectory as an LSAMP scholar under the guidance of Prof. Ilona Kretzschmar (CCNY). After earning a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Florida\, Dr. Silvera held postdoctoral positions at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and at the University of Michigan\, where he received the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship. Currently\, as an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University\, his research interest is on the electrokinetics and directed assembly of colloidal systems.  His research work has resulted in over 20 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact scientific journals\, such as JACS\, ACS Nano\, Langmuir and Science. \n

SUMMARY:LEADERs Event: AI Challenges in the Deployment of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will help attendees learn about integrating AI in auto industry. While AI has been able to achieve remarkable success over the last 10 years\, can it really be trusted?  What does trustworthy AI look like in the context of connected vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)?  To create an ADAS for all\, it’s paramount that the AI systems in the vehicle be trusted and work for everyone.  This is especially important given the nature of ADAS as a safety-critical\, cyber-physical\, and people-centric system of systems.  In this talk\, the presenter will outline a number of challenges in building AI systems which could potentially be deployed in future ADAS. \nSpeaker Dr. Jacob Bond leads trustworthy AI research at General Motors R&D.  In addition to his work on ensuring AI systems in the vehicle can be trusted\, his research looks at how to keep AI systems private and how to ensure cloud and vehicle systems can establish secure communications.  After receiving a Ph.D. in computational mathematics and cryptography from Purdue University\, he joined General Motors’ Product Cybersecurity organization\, focusing on applications of public-key cryptography.  Jacob then began investigating the security of AI systems\, moving to GM R&D and expanding his work to encompass the trustworthiness of AI systems.

SUMMARY:ECE PhD Dissertation Defense: Hongjia Li
DESCRIPTION:PhD Dissertation Defense: Automation Design and DNN Acceleration Frameworks: from software implementation to hardware physical design \nHongjia Li \nLocation: Northeastern Zoom Link \nAbstract: With the breakthrough of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in the past decade\, neural network-based computer vision has made huge progress\, achieving exceptional performance. Tasks such as object detection\, activity detection\, and medical diagnosis are deployed in a wide range of applications\, including autonomous driving\, robot vision and training\, human-computer interaction\, and augmented reality. To increase the demand of application accuracy\, DNN models are tuned to large scales by adding more parameters and layers. Meanwhile\, mobile devices are rapidly becoming the central computer and carrier for deep learning tasks. However\, real-time execution has been limited due to the computation/storage resource constraints on mobile devices.\nThe first part of this dissertation\, I will present our unified real-time mobile acceleration of DNNs framework\, seamlessly integrating hardware-friendly\, structured model compression with mobile-targeted compiler optimization. The goal of our framework is to provide an unprecedented\, real-time performance of such large-scale neural network inference using simply off-the-shelf mobile devices. Our proposed fine-grained block-based pruning scheme can be universally applicable to all types of DNN layers\, such as CONV layers with different kernel sizes and fully connected layers. Different weight pruning schemes\, such as unstructured pruning\, filter/column pruning\, and our block-based pruning\, are analyzed and compared given the specific deep learning problems. To validate our framework\, various applications are implemented and demonstrated\, object detection\, medical diagnosis. All applications can achieve real-time inference on mobile devices\, outperforming the current mobile acceleration framework by up to 6.7X in speed.\nFor the second part of this dissertation\, I will dive into an efficient automate framework for Adiabatic Quantum-Flux-Parametron (AQFP) technology\, meeting the unique features and constraints. Superconductive electronics (SCE) based on the Josephson junction (JJ) single flux quantum (SFQ) logic cells have evolved into a within-reach “beyond-CMOS” technology. Placement is the primary step in physical design of the electronic systems as it directly affects the maximum frequency and routability of circuits. Algorithms for global placement\, the core step in the placement process\, typically minimize the total wirelength of a design as the main objective as it indirectly affects the routability and timing of circuits. Although minimizing the total wirelength improves the timing of the circuit in general\, it does not directly target optimizing the delay of timing critical paths. Timing and routability driving placement methods are therefore needed. The currently mature design automation tools for CMOS cannot be directly applied to the design of superconducting electronics. In this dissertation\, I will present our proposed timing-aware AQFP-specific placement and routing framework\, given a path balanced AQFP netlist with clock phases. The proposed framework will reduce the solution complexity by making effective use of the row-wise placement/routing opportunity as each AQFP cell is assigned to a specific row (clock phase). \n

SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Cesar Antonio Galvez Nunez
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Fault Location in Radial and Meshed Networks Containing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) \nCesar Antonio Galvez Nunez \nLocation: Microsoft Teams Link \nAbstract: Rapidly increasing numbers of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) connected to transmission and distribution networks via Inverter Based Power Sources (IBPSs) introduce new challenges in detecting and locating faults. Distribution networks are historically designed to operate as radial systems with unidirectional power flows\, which may no longer hold true due to the presence of large numbers of IBPSs. The commonly used impedance-based fault location methods are no longer reliable due to the limitations imposed by unknown fault resistance\, asymmetry of lines\, and presence of IBPSs\, which need to comply with the new grid codes for Fault Ride Through (FRT) requirements. In this proposal\, a new fault location method that can be used for radial and meshed networks containing DERs and addresses the limitations of conventional methods mentioned above will be introduced. The approach requires a limited number of digital fault recorders (DFR) to be placed in the network and uses the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to compute the first arrival times of fault-generated traveling waves. The proposal first presents a new two-terminal fault location technique used strictly for radial distribution networks\, and then extends this to the general case of combined transmission and distribution networks with radial or meshed configurations. The method is further extended to be applied to hybrid AC/DC complex transmission grids containing DERs and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) lines. Preliminary results will be presented illustrating these methods on typical power grids and fault scenarios.

SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Ramtin Khalili
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Efficient State and Parameter Estimation in Three-Phase Power Systems \nRamtin Khalili \nLocation: Microsoft Link \nAbstract: As the number of renewable energy sources\, bulk energy storage systems\, and non-conventional loads increase and connect to the power grid not only at transmission but also sub-transmission and distribution levels\, three-phase unsymmetrical network monitoring becomes necessary for reliable operation and control of the overall power grid. The use of modal decomposition of measurement equations has already been shown to simplify the formulation and resulting computational complexity of three-phase state estimation of systems where all the transmission lines are three-phase and fully transposed. When there are untransposed and/or mixed-phase lines\, modal decomposition can no longer fully decouple the three-phase measurement equations. This shortcoming is eliminated by a simple yet practical solution based on the commonly used numerical compensation techniques. Thus\, it enables the application of the powerful decoupling approach to any type of three-phase networks which may contain untransposed or mixed-phase lines and are fully observable by PMUs. This implicit restriction is then removed by using a transformation that enables the use of SCADA measurements which are more commonly available in power grids. Furthermore\, It has been shown that network parameter errors can bias the state estimation solution. Network parameter errors are common due to aging\, changes in the ambient temperature\, human data entry error\, etc. So\, an efficient approach is proposed to detect and correct the network parameter errors in three-phase untransposed transmission lines. Preliminary results to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods and associated algorithms will be presented using different test systems.
