SUMMARY:MathWorks Weeks at Northeastern: Bio-related Applications
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n\n\n\n\nPresentations: \nRegulation of the cellular redox environment in the nematode C. elegans \nDr. Javier Apfeld: Biology Department\, Northeastern \nBacteria\, fungi\, plants\, and animals have long been known to excrete large quantities of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to attack their prey and pathogens. H2O2 is also a byproduct of aerobic respiration. The proteome wide shift in cysteine oxidation induced by changing H2O2 levels is now recognized a critical post-translational mechanism that rapidly and reversibly modulates a wide array of biological processes. While much is known about the intracellular pathways that oxidize cysteine\, little is known about the intercellular pathways that determine the oxidation of cysteines in target tissues due to the technical difficulty of measuring oxidation non-destructively. In my talk\, I will discuss how our innovations in live imaging of protein oxidation are enabling my lab to fill this critical gap in knowledge\, which hinders understanding of how animals coordinate diverse cellular processes by regulating the oxidation of proteins via intercellular signaling. \n  \nDetermining limb swelling during physical activity with wearable sensors \nDr. Kris Dorsey: ECE Department\, Northeastern \nThe goal of this project is to investigate a wearable sensing system that will deliver information about fluid retention state. Information uncovered through this project will be critical to design systems that can detect and warn of fluid retention for disease treatment. We will describe progress towards a healthy subjects study using physical activity to safely induce swelling and in using datasets with MATLAB’s Neural Network Fitting app to identify limb size and swelling state from wearable sensor measurements \n  \nUsing AI to predict Toxicity in small molecules \nDr. Elvira Osuna-Highley: MathWorks \nMachine Learning is rapidly becoming a standard tool in many fields\, including in drug discovery and development. Every step in the drug discovery process accumulates costs. Early-stage toxicity determination is critical for minimizing cost and maximizing scientific efficiency. Using Machine Learning\, we determined the toxicity of several small molecules with an accuracy of 81%. This method can increase efficiency and reduce costs in the drug discovery workflow.

SUMMARY:Jared Miller Ph.D Defense/Proposal Announcement
DESCRIPTION:“Safety Analysis for Nonlinear and Time-Delay Systems using Occupation Measures” \nInternational Village 022 \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Mario Sznaier (Advisor)\nProf. Octavia Camps\nProf. Bahram Shafai\nProf. Eduardo Sontag\nProf. Didier Henrion (LAAS-CNRS) \nAbstract:\nThis research extends an occupation measure framework to analyze the behavior and safety of dynamical systems. A motivating application of trajectory analysis is in peak estimation\, which finds the extreme values of a state function along trajectories. Examples of peak estimation include finding the maximum height of a wave\, voltage on a power line\, speed of a vehicle\, and infected population in an epidemic. Peak estimation can be applied towards safety quantification\, such as by measuring the safety of a trajectory by its distance of closest approach to an unsafe set. \nA finite-dimensional but nonconvex peak estimation problem can be converted into an infinite-dimensional linear program (LP) in measures\, which is in turn bounded by a convergent sequence of semidefinite programs. The LP is posed in terms of an initial\, a terminal\, and an occupational measure\, where the occupation measure contains all possible information about the dynamical systems’ trajectories. This research applies measure-based methods towards safety quantification (e.g. distance estimation\, control effort needed to crash)\, hybrid systems\, bounded-uncertain systems (including for data-driven analysis)\, stochastic systems\, and time-delay systems. The modularity of this measure-based framework allows for multiple problem variations to be applied simultaneously (e.g. distance estimation under time-delays)\, and for optimization models to be synthesized using MATLAB. Solving these optimization problems results in certifiable guarantees on system performance and behavior.

SUMMARY:Cheng Gongye's MS Thesis Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Using Floating-Point Timing Side-Channels to Reverse Engineer Deep Neural Networks” \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Yunsi Fei (Advisor)\nProf. Aidong Ding\nProf. Xiaolin Xu \nAbstract: \nTrained Deep Neural Network (DNN) models have become valuable intellectual property. A new attack surface has emerged for DNNs: model reverse engineering. Several recent attempts have utilized various common side channels. However\, recovering DNN parameters\, weights and biases\, remains a challenge. In this paper\, we present a novel attack that utilizes a floating-point timing side channel to reverse-engineer parameters of multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models in software implementation\, entirely and precisely. To the best of our knowledge\, this is the first work that leverages a floating-point timing side channel for effective DNN model recovery.

SUMMARY:Tirthak Patel's Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Robust System Software for Quantum Computing” \nCommittee Members: \nProf. Devesh Tiwari (Advisor) \nProf. David Kaeli \nProf. Ningfang Mi \nProf. Gene Cooperman \nProf. Kenneth Brown \nAbstract: \nDespite rapid progress in quantum computing in the last decade\, the limited usability of quantum computers remains a major roadblock toward its wider adoption. Current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers produce highly erroneous program outputs for quantum-advantage-proven algorithms — that is\, algorithms that are infeasible or orders of magnitude slower on classical supercomputing and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. Unfortunately\, currently\, quantum computing programmers lack robust system software tools and methods to make meaningful use of erroneous program executions on quantum computers. \nThis lack of capability is the core motivation behind the fundamental question this dissertation poses: “can we build system software tools for programmers to make the quantum program execution and output meaningful on NISQ machines?” This dissertation answers this question in the affirmative— experimentally demonstrating on real-system quantum computers that it is possible to extract near-accurate program output from noisy executions on today’s erroneous quantum computers\, ironically using classical HPC resources and knowledge. This dissertation demonstrates how to achieve this goal without requiring user intervention\, domain knowledge about quantum algorithms\, or additional quantum hardware support. \nUnfortunately\, as this dissertation uncovers\, progressing toward making quantum computers usable is a double-edged sword. In the near future\, only a few entities in the world may have access to powerful quantum computers\, and these quantum computers will be used to solve previously-unsolved large-scale optimization problems\, possibly without an explicit trust model between the service provider and the customer. Therefore\, this dissertation envisions that the solutions to such large-scale optimization problems will be considered sensitive and will need to be protected. This dissertation takes the first few steps toward preparing us for that future by developing a novel method that intelligently obfuscates near-accurate program output and quantum circuit structure to preserve a customer’s privacy under a specified computation model and resource availability. \nThe approaches introduced in this dissertation open up new research avenues for hybrid quantum-classical computing and lower the barrier to entry for quantum computing research for the experimental computer systems and HPC community by open-sourcing multiple novel datasets and software frameworks implemented for real-system quantum computers. \nCandidate Bio: \nTirthak Patel is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rice University; currently\, a PhD candidate at Northeastern University\, advised by Professor Devesh Tiwari. Tirthak conducts systems-level research at the intersection of quantum computing and high-performance computing (HPC). His research contributions have appeared at rigorously peer-reviewed publication venues including ASPLOS\, Supercomputing (SC)\, HPDC\, HPCA\, and USENIX FAST\, and have been recognized with multiple award distinctions. He has received the ACM-IEEE CS George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowship\, the NSERC Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship\, and the Northeastern University Outstanding Graduate Student in Research award\, for his research contributions toward making noisy quantum computing systems useful and helping HPC programmers solve computationally challenging problems.

SUMMARY:Hussein Hussein’s PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Parametric Circuits for Enhanced Sensing and RF Signal Processing” \nCommittee Members: \nProf. Cristian Cassella (Advisor) \nProf. Marvin Onabajo \nProf. Matteo Rinaldi \nProf. Andrea Alù \nAbstract: \nMassive deployments of wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) that continuously detect physical\, biological or chemical parameters are needed to truly benefit from the unprecedented possibilities opened by the Internet‑of‑Things (IoT). Just recently\, new sensors with higher sensitivities have been demonstrated by leveraging advanced on‑chip designs and microfabrication processes. Yet\, WSNs using such sensors require energy to transmit the sensed information. Consequently\, they either contain batteries that need to be periodically replaced or energy harvesting circuits whose low efficiencies prevent a frequent and continuous sensing\, even impacting the maximum range of communication. Here\, we discuss a new battery-less and harvester-free remote sensing tag\, namely the subharmonic tag (SubHT)\, leveraging unique nonlinear characteristics to fundamentally break any previous paradigms for passive WSNs. SubHT can sense and transmit information without requiring supplied or harvested DC power. Also\, it transmits the sensed information at a difference frequency from the one of its interrogation signal\, rendering its reader immune from multi-path\, from clutter and from its own self‑interference. Also\, even though SubHT may not require any advanced and expensive manufacturing\, its unique nonlinear response enables extraordinary high sensitivities and dynamic ranges that can even surpass those achieved by the most advanced on-chip sensors. More interestingly\, SubHT can be even configured to operate in a “threshold sensing” mode\, making it able to respond to any interrogation signal only when the sensed parameter has exceeded a remotely reprogrammable threshold\, as well as to memorize any violation in a sensed parameter without requiring any memory components. In this talk\, the first SubHT prototypes for temperature sensing will be showcased. Even more\, we will show how including high quality factor (Q) resonators in a SubHT’s network allows to implement even more functionalities\, such as the long-range identification or tracking of any items or localization and navigation in a GPS denied environment. Yet\, the dynamics exploited by SubHT can also be leveraged to address various needs along radio-frequency (RF) chains. In this regard\, we show how the SubHT’s nonlinear dynamics can be leveraged to build components\, such as parametric filters\, frequency selective limiters and signal to noise enhancers\, that improve the stability of RF frequency synthesizers and instinctually suppress co-site or self-interferes\, paving an unprecedented path towards integrated radios with improved performance and longer battery-life time.
