SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Jared Miller
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Nonlinear and Time-Delay Systems Analysis using Occupation Measures \nJared Miller \nLocation: Zoom Link \nAbstract: Techniques to analyze nonlinear systems include peak and reachable set estimation. The reachable set of a system is the set of states accessible by trajectories of a dynamical system at specified times given initial conditions. The peak estimation problem finds 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 infection rate of an epidemic. These problems may be posed as infinite dimensional linear programs (LP) in occupation measures\, where occupation measures are Borel measures that contain all information about trajectories. Under mild assumptions\, a sequence of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) in increasing degree will converge from outside to the LP optimum\, which is in turn equal to the true optimum of the program in trajectories.\nThe first part of this thesis expands upon the occupation measure formulation for peak estimation. The safety of trajectories with respect to an unsafe set may be quantified by measuring the constraint violation (safety margins)\, which is a maximum peak estimation problem. The distance of closest approach between trajectories and an unsafe set may be bounded through a modification of the peak estimation problem. Peak estimation may be applied to dynamics possessing a broad class of uncertainties\, which includes the data-driven setting of black-box polynomial dynamics. A modular MATLAB toolbox is developed to solve and interpret these variations on peak estimation problems.\nThe second part of this thesis introduces an occupation measure framework for analysis and control of time-delay systems. The evolution of time delay systems depends on present and past values of the state. Some instances of time delay systems with their associated delays include epidemic models (incubation period)\, population dynamics (gestation time)\, and fluid modeling (transport time of fluid moving in a pipe). An occupation measure framework is developed to define weak solutions over a finite time interval of nonlinear time-delay systems with a finite number of bounded discrete delays. Applications of this time-delay weak solution include optimal control (including dead-time)\, peak estimation\, and reachable set estimation of time delay systems.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Keyue Shen
DESCRIPTION:Keyue Shen\, Ph.D. \nAssistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering\, University of Southern California\, Los Angeles CA \n“Metabolic and Microenvironmental Regulation of Cancer and Stem Cells” \nWednesday\, November 3rd\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nABSTRACT: \nIn vivo\, tissue structure and local cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions define the microenvironment and regulate a complex landscape of cellular phenotypes and metabolism in tumors and stem cell niches. Such dynamics and heterogeneity often contribute to treatment failures in cancer and regenerative medicine. Identifying the precise microenvironmental cues that trigger the phenotypic or metabolic changes will thus enable the discovery of new targets for cancer or stem cell therapies. However\, it is challenging to pinpoint such cues and track cellular dynamics/heterogeneity in a complex microenvironment in vivo. Our laboratory is focused on creating biologically inspired in vitro platforms to recapitulate the scale of cell signaling in tissue microenvironments from subcellular to tissue levels\, and developing single-cell tools to enable dynamic\, long-term tracking of metabolic heterogeneity and changes in rare cells. We have built-in vitro hypoxic tumor models to recapitulate the metabolic landscapes in solid tumors\, to determine/overcome the key factors that impedes the therapeutic efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. We have also developed micropatterned tumor models to understand the mechano-regulatory mechanisms and mito-nuclear communications in cancer metastasis. Using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy\, we created a set of non-invasive metabolic optical biomarkers to identify hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from their progenitor counterparts and track their metabolic dynamics during cell division at the single-cell level. With a lipid bilayer model\, we have further discovered a unique role of membrane-bound factors on niche stromal cells in determining the morphology and adhesive function of HSCs in the bone marrow. Our long-term goal is to develop novel strategies for cancer immunotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nDr. Keyue Shen received his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science in Biophysics from Tsinghua University of China. He earned his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University in 2010. He then pursued postdoctoral training in the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital\, where he won an MGH Fund for Medical Discovery Award. Keyue joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Southern California in 2015. He received a Broad Innovation Award from the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation (2016)\, a Marni Levine Memorial Research Career Development Award from STOP CANCER (2017)\, a Trailblazer Award from the NIH NIBIB (2017)\, and a Rising Star Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society – Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering SIG (2020). His research has been supported by NIH NIBIB and NCI. His group is focused on creating in vitro tissue models of solid tumors and bone marrow niches. His goals are to understand how tumor microenvironments regulate mitochondrial/metabolic functions of cancer and immune cells in cancer progression and therapy\, and how to improve hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and biomanufacturing. \nIf interested in attending\, please email Elizabeth Chesley at e.chesley@northeastern.edu for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Detection\, Prediction\, and Visualization of Monolayer Phase Separation on Metallic Nanoparticles
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. David L. Green \nMaterials Science\, Chemical Engineering\, and Mechanical Engineering Departments \nUniversity of Virginia \nAbstract: The goal is to gain fundamental insights into the factors that dictate the synthesis of monolayer-protected nanoparticles and translate them into rational design strategies for novel functional soft materials. He is interested in monolayer self-assembly\, polymer grafting\, and nanoparticle dispersion. He studies how to exert control over the interface of nanoparticles\, which dictates their degree of compatibility with and assembly in soft materials\, provides reactive sites for attachment of molecules\, such as drug payloads\, and tunes detectable properties\, such as the surface plasmon to a wavelength of interest. David Green is particularly interested in the development of nanoparticles coated with monolayers from mixtures of organic molecules that may also self-assemble into advantageous patterns. As pattern formation in self-assembled monolayers is inextricably linked to their intermolecular interactions\, a key research challenge is the integration of experimental and theoretical techniques to enable de novo design of patterned nanoparticles. \nBio: David Green is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia. He and his team collaborate with chemists\, physicists\, pharmacists\, and oncologists to develop design principles for monolayer-protected nanoparticles.

SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Cooper Loughlin
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Unsupervised Machine Learning Approaches to Sequential Data Analysis \nCooper Loughlin \nLocation: Remote \nAbstract: Analysis of sequential data is central to many fields of science and engineering. Often\, sequences are collections of observations made over time and space with little or no contextual information. The goal of analysis may be to evaluate relationships\, identify unusual observations\, or forecast future behavior based on historical data. Unsupervised modeling of sequences (e.g.\, time series) can illuminate the underlying structure of the data and enable analysis. \nIn this proposal\, we discuss a statistical model for multivariate time series and an associated inference algorithm. We develop a preliminary model for a particularly challenging class of multivariate time series where the observations are counts (non-negative integers) that are nonuniformly sampled in time. We develop a state space model and inference algorithm based on Monte Carlo integration and Expectation-Maximization. This preliminary work highlights some key challenges still to be addressed. In particular\, continuously variable sampling intervals\, computational complexity of sampling\, and long-term dependencies among observations are properties of real data that are not handled well by the preliminary model. Recent developments in unsupervised sequence modeling using deep learning techniques are introduced including variational auto-encoders\, recurrent neural networks\, and ordinary differential equation recurrent neural networks. We propose utilizing these deep learning techniques to improve the state of the art in sequential data analysis.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Glenn Gaudette
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Gaudette\, Ph.D. \nJohn W. Kozarich ’71 Chair of the Department of Engineering\, Boston College\, Newton MA \n“Crossing Kingdoms to Develop New Platforms for Tissue Engineering” \nWednesday\, November 10th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nBehrakis 010 \nABSTRACT: \nDevelopment of biomaterials for tissue engineering is challenged by the incorporation of a vascular network\, which is necessary to deliver oxygen\, nutrients\, and essential molecules required for cells to survive. Like humans\, plants have vascular networks. Removing plant cells from spinach leaves\, a technique known as decellularization that was developed for mammalian organs and tissues provides a scaffold with an inherent network of vessels. This scaffold can be seeding with multiple cell types\, including contracting human heart muscle cells and endothelial cells. After decellularization\, the inherent network of vessels remain open and perfusable. Given the vastness of the plant kingdom\, crossing it with the animal biological kingdoms may allow for new biomaterials with multiple applications in tissue engineering and beyond. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nGlenn R. Gaudette\, PhD\, is the inaugural John W. Kozarich ’71 Chair of the Department of Engineering at Boston College. Working together with his colleagues\, they have developed the first Engineering program in the history of BC. His research has pioneered the use of plants as scaffold for heart regeneration. This work lead to significant recognition\, including Prof Gaudette and his colleagues being featured throughout the world including Bill Nye Saves the World (on Netflix)\, CBS’s Innovation Nation\, the BBC (live interview) and Popular Science. The work was displayed at the Centre Pompidou (Paris) as part of an exhibit entitled “The Factory of Life”. Recently\, a children’s book (From Plant to Human: The Extraordinary Spinach-Leaf Heart by Oscar Silver) was published about this inspiring work. His recent research aims to develop cost-effective methods for growing meat in the laboratory setting\, which could reduce our reliance on conventional animal agriculture. Dr. Gaudette is a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and the National Academy of Inventors. \n

SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Designing Optically Active Semiconductor Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Allison Dennis \nAssistant Professor\, Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering \nBoston University \nAbstract: \nAlthough the unique optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanoparticle quantum dots (QDs) enable a variety of commercial products including display technology\, solid state lighting\, and photovoltaics\, different design criteria need to be considered to use these nanoparticles in biomedical devices. Here\, I will discuss how we tailor the composition and optical properties of QDs for a variety of biosensing and bioimaging applications. For example\, I’ll describe how we use bright red and green emitting QDs in a rapid\, instrument-free assay to detect small molecules such as antibiotics in complex water samples and use near infrared and shortwave infrared emitters to improve the clarity and resolution of in vivo imaging in mice. Finally\, I’ll describe how biodegradable and biocompatible plasmonic semiconductor nanoparticles could be used to overcome barriers to clinical translation for photoaccoustic imaging and photothermal therapy applications. Notably\, the efforts to remove heavy metals from the nanoparticles compositions also reduces the environmental impact of QDs developed for energy applications. By carefully considering material properties and engineering design choices\, we develop semiconductor nanoparticles for a wide variety of applications. \nBio: \nAllison Dennis is an assistant professor in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at Boston University. After graduating with a B.S. in Bioengineering and B.A. in German from Rice University\, Prof. Dennis pursued nanobiotechnology research with Prof. Achim Göpferich in the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Regensburg in Germany as a Fulbright Scholar. This research direction was continued during her Ph.D. work with Prof. Gang Bao at the Georgia Institute of Technology and post-doctoral research with Dr. Jennifer Hollingsworth at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies at Los Alamos National Laboratory. At Boston University\, the Dennis Lab engages the fundamental material properties of heterostructured semiconductor nanoparticles to optimize them for sensing\, imaging\, fundamental photophysical investigations\, and energy applications. The Dennis Lab appreciates past and current support from intramural and extramural sources including the NIH\, NSF\, and the BU Clinical and Translational Science Institute.

SUMMARY:Developing Resilient Civil Infrastructure Systems – a Convergent Approach
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Distinguish Seminar Series is open for attendees from the College of Engineering and the University as a whole. \nDeveloping Resilient Civil Infrastructure Systems – a Convergent Approach \nABSTRACT: Critical Civil Infrastructure systems\, namely- Transportation network\, Water systems\, Waste-water systems\, Electric grid and Communications network are vital to functioning of a community. They ought to be considered as Community assets and should be treated with the same care as all important assets are. \nWhen a damaging natural hazard event such as earthquake\, hurricane\, and floods occur and strikes a community\, the results can vary from tolerable to severe. To minimize the impact of such a hazard event\, it is necessary that the community as a system respond in an integrated way. While it is necessary for built environment systems\, economic systems\, and social systems to work synergistically together\, the focus of this talk is built environment systems – specifically the infrastructure systems\, excluding the buildings. Because it is not always feasible to develop 100% resilience to damaging hazard events\, acceptable functionality is strongly advocated. Such resilience in infrastructure systems can work quite well to keep the community functioning in an acceptable way. \nConvergent engineering approach is used to develop the resilience\, as it focuses on a Societal-level Problem\, requires team -science and use of a transdisciplinary language\, all required for a satisfactory solution. \nBIO: Vilas Mujumdar practices as an independent consulting engineer since 2009. Previously he was CEO\, President\, and Partner of many large consulting engineering firms and worked at highest-level in the public sector\, such as\, Chief of Operations\, Division of State Architect\, State of California; Director\, Engineering Research Centers Program – Natural Hazards\, National Science Foundation. \nHis experience uniquely combines consulting engineering in the private sector – 35 years\, State regulatory work – 10 years\, and Research management at the Federal Govt. level – 6 years. This is enriched by working in different aspects of engineering such as: Civil/Structural Design\, Project Management\, Teaching\, Research and Research Management in Asia\, Europe\, Canada\, and the US. \nPlease arrive early to prevent disruption.

SUMMARY:Engineering Environmental Data Justice: From citizen science to community data
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for this Lunch & Learn seminar series\, A Bimonthly seminar series focusing on convergent research\, bringing together Northeastern colleagues and collaborators to think big/bold\, explore ideas that build cooperation and foster transformative innovation within CEE and across disciplines beyond CEE. \nAbstract: Premature births\, unexplained human and livestock sicknesses\, flammable water faucets\, toxic wells and the onset of hundreds of earthquakes\, the impacts of fracking in the United States are far-reaching and deeply felt. In this talk Dr. Wylie explores how extractive resource systems\, like natural gas extraction through fracking\, are proceeded and supported by extractive data systems that create asymmetric access to information. Drawing together the fields of Environmental Health\, Environmental Justice and Data Justice\, Wylie explores how we can build community centered information systems that help create accountability for corporations and state agencies.\nBased on her work building tools for community monitoring of the oil and gas industry and co-developing the watchdog organization the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) Dr. Wylie reflects on how we can create community centered research and data systems that move beyond mapping exposure disparities to address the drivers of toxic contamination and make corporations responsible for their environmental harms. This precious present moment for action on Climate Change provides an opportunity to jointly create sustainable and just systems. Now is the time\, Wylie argues to organize and collectively theorize\, design\, and engineer environmental data justice. \nBio: Sara Wylie is an Associate Professor Sociology/Anthropology and Health Science in Northeastern University’s Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute (SSEHRI). Her award-winning book Fractivism: Corporate Bodies and Chemical Bonds examines the U.S. unconventional energy industry. She is the co-founder of the citizen science organization Public Lab and the accountability organization Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI).

SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Game-Inspired Approaches to Engineering Education Across the Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Daniel Burkey \nAssociate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Diversity\, Professor-in-Residence in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, and a University Teaching Fellow at University of Connecticut \nAbstract: \nGame-based educational techniques can be an interesting and novel approach to active learning in engineering courses. Because games often exist within their own rule sets\, they can allow students to explore scenarios and make choices that they wouldn’t otherwise make because they are appropriate within the context and the rules of the game. In this talk\, we discuss two different projects involving game-based learning. In the first\, we explore multiple game-based approaches to teaching engineering ethics to freshmen engineering students in a multidisciplinary setting. At the beginning of the semester\, students are given a baseline survey to quantify the sophistication of their ethical reasoning. Over the course of the semester\, different game-based interventions are given to the students\, and the survey instrument again is used to determine any changes in their ethical reasoning. The game-based interventions by their nature allow students to explore ethical reasoning in the context of behavioral ethics. In the second project\, we discuss the development and use of a digital video game to teach process safety to senior chemical engineering students. Our research team developed a survey instrument to gauge the sophistication of student thinking about process safety. Students completing the survey instrument and then completing similar scenarios in the game show statistically significant differences in the types of responses they make\, indicating that different reasoning modes may be activated by the game due to its more authentic and realistic portrayal of the material. \nBio: \nDaniel D. Burkey is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Diversity\, Professor-in-Residence in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, and a University Teaching Fellow at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Burkey holds his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University in Bethlehem\, PA\, and his M.S.C.E.P. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to UConn\, he held positions at Northeastern University and at GVD Corporation in Cambridge\, MA. Since joining UConn in 2010\, Dr. Burkey’s area of research has focused broadly on engineering education\, and specifically on moral and ethical development of engineering students\, process safety education\, and game-inspired educational techniques. Dr. Burkey currently serves as a Director of the Education Division of AIChE\, where he runs the Future Faculty Mentoring Program. He is a past program chair of the ASEE Chemical Engineering Division and serves on the publications board of Chemical Engineering Education. In 2020\, he was inducted into the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE) for his contributions to engineering education in the state. In addition to his many teaching awards\, Dr. Burkey is also the recipient of the 2020 AICHE Education Division Innovation Award for his contributions to new pedagogies in chemical engineering education\, as was recently awarded the 2021 ASEE Corcoran Award for the best paper in Chemical Engineering Education in the previous year.
