Collagen-mediated clustering of platelet GPVI results in phosphorylation of SFKs such as Lyn and Fyn\, and active Lyn is constitutively bound to GPVI to allow rapid signaling. During clotting under flow\, the generation of fibrin can have diverse influences on platelet signaling by sequestering thrombin and potentially activating GPVI signaling within the clot interior. These inhibitors tackle the thrombus formation at earlier stages since the platelets reach the activation surface. Direct inhibition of GPVI was used to compare the difference between inhibition of subsequent pathways. Using microfluidics\, the effects of these inhibitors can be explored under defined hemodynamic flows and procoagulant surface triggers. Additionally\, the drug may be present in the blood at desired time of clotting by perfusion switching to drug-treated blood. This experimental design allows exploration of platelet response at different stages of clotting through the measurement of drug potency to modulate clotting on different procoagulant surface conditions.“ URL:https://seasevents.nmsdev7.com/event/cbe-phd-dissertation-defense-the-effects-of-platelet-signaling-inhibitors-on-clot-development-under-flow/ LOCATION:Room 337\, Towne Building\, 220 South 33rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19104\, United States CATEGORIES:Doctoral,Graduate,Student,Dissertation or Thesis Defense ORGANIZER;CN="Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering":MAILTO:cbemail@seas.upenn.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220610T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220610T160000 DTSTAMP:20260406T032227 CREATED:20220601T132853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220601T132853Z UID:10007183-1654869600-1654876800@seasevents.nmsdev7.com SUMMARY:BE Doctoral Dissertation: "Characterizing medial temporal lobe neurodegeneration due to tau pathology in Alzheimer's Disease using postmortem imaging” (Sadhana Ravikumar) DESCRIPTION:The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Paul Yushkevich are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Sadhana Ravikumar.\n\nTitle: “Characterizing medial temporal lobe neurodegeneration due to  tau pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease using postmortem imaging”\n \nDate: Friday\, June 10th\, 2022\nTime: 2:00 PM\nLocation: Biomedical Research Building (BRB)\, Classroom 0252 and Zoom.\n\nThe public is invited to attend in-person or virtually at the link below:\n\n\nLink: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/95448705068?pwd=Uk8rckFKbUlXYlpCbENtYjlrdUdjQT09\n \nMeeting ID: 954 4870 5068\nPasscode: amyloid URL:https://seasevents.nmsdev7.com/event/be-doctoral-dissertation-characterizing-medial-temporal-lobe-neurodegeneration-due-to-tau-pathology-in-alzheimers-disease-using-postmortem-imaging-sadhana-ravikumar/ LOCATION:BRB 0252 CATEGORIES:Doctoral,Graduate,Student,Dissertation or Thesis Defense ORGANIZER;CN="Bioengineering":MAILTO:be@seas.upenn.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220607T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220607T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T032227 CREATED:20220601T133316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220601T133316Z UID:10007184-1654614000-1654621200@seasevents.nmsdev7.com SUMMARY:BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: "Machine learning as tool and theory for computational neuroscience" (Ari Benjamin) DESCRIPTION:The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Konrad Kording are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Ari Benjamin.\n\nTitle “Machine learning as tool and theory for computational neuroscience”\,\nDate: Tuesday\, June 7th\nTime: 3:00pm\nLocation: Goddard 101 and in the Zoom room:\nhttps://upenn.zoom.us/j/92613907755?pwd=K21OU2Q4SUlKQkduelF6ZmVjalNOZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 926 1390 7755\nPasscode: 792713.\n\nThe public is welcome to attend.

Due to its high-quality factor (Q)\, Young’s modulus\, sound velocity\, and low mechanical and dielectric losses\, AlN is an advantageous resonator material with applications in radio frequency filtering. AlN’s low piezoelectric coefficients\, however\, limit its application\, especially when large electromechanical coupling is required such as wide bandwidth acoustic filters and energy harvesters. In 2009 it was discovered that alloying AlN with Scandium (Sc) increases its d33 piezoelectric coefficient by over 500% and maintains compatibility with post-CMOS integration when deposited below 〖400〗^∘{1}*. As process parameters and Sc levels are modified to enhance performance\, this also impacts the built-in stress in the film. Undesired stress can degrade device performance in thin films. Undesired phases and anomalously oriented grains (AOGs) reduce piezoelectric coefficients\, film orientation\, and modify stress. AOGs also render etching of device structures problematic as the AOG regions etch at a much lower rate. \nThis presentation will discuss the origins of stress and anomalous grain formation in AlScN physical vapor deposition processes\, establish methods to control the stress\, and inhibit anomalous grain growth at a range of scandium alloying levels to yield high quality AlScN films with large piezoelectric coefficients. Methods for mitigation and understanding of the physical mechanism behind stress gradients in AlScN thin films to reduce out-of-plane deformations in released MEMS structures will also be discussed. I demonstrate a technique where the total process gas flow is varied during the deposition to compensate for the native through-thickness stress gradient in sputtered AlScN thin films. Finally\, I will provide methods extract the AlScN stiffness\, piezoelectric\, and permittivity tenors from MEMS structures carefully designed to isolate various electromechanical parameters. \n{1}*M.

It has enabled key demonstrations in quantum networks and distributed quantum computing\, as well as impressive proof-of-concept devices in nanoscale\, sub-cellular imaging and sensing. The NV center – a point defect in diamond with an optically addressable electron spin – boasts several advantages such as long coherence times and quantum control in ambient conditions. At the same time\, the NV center still faces significant engineering challenges in the realization of scalable quantum devices. The high-refractive index of diamond in the visible spectrum results in inefficient photon collection\, and the NV center’s sensitivity to charge and spin fluctuations at surfaces and interfaces necessitates deeply embedded NV centers for coherence-limited applications\, which further worsens readout efficiency. The challenging optical interface has necessitated the use of high numerical-aperture objectives and free space optics\, which are non-ideal components for scalable devices. On the other hand\, benchtop frequency synthesizers and sequence generators typically used in laboratory experiments inhibit the packaging of NV centers for deployment outside of laboratory environments. This thesis focuses on the realization of integrated quantum devices using the NV center and targets miniaturization of the host crystal\, the optical interface\, and quantum control sequence generators. First\, it discusses efforts and progress in realizing chemically active quantum sensors based on NV centers embedded in nanodiamonds. Following\, it presents the miniaturization of collection optics through the coupling of an immersion metalens fabricated on bulk diamond to a single NV center in the crystal. Finally\, it lays out performance considerations for integrated sequence generators to preserve the NV center’s coherence properties\, and demonstrates quantum control at room temperature of a NV center using a CMOS control signal generator. To conclude\, this thesis discusses future potential for further integrating and miniaturizing diamond-based quantum devices.

Check email for the zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. \nThe study of biology at the single-cell level has relied on the development of precision measurement tools. Our research is focused on developing new technology for multimodal\, precision measurement of single cells to move beyond cataloging cell types and push towards gaining a mechanistic understanding of the relationship between the molecules that define and maintain cell state. We build both hardware and software tools for measuring epigenetic regulation\, gene expression\, protein composition\, and morphological phenotype at the single-cell level. This talk will focus on recent work applying single-cell genomic analysis to study T cell development and adipocyte development in model systems. Additionally\, I will present a new method for measuring protein-DNA interactions and DNA methylation with long-read sequencing.

We have developed a first of its kind social robot augmented telepresence (SRAT) system — Flo — which consists of a humanoid robot mounted onto a mobile telepresence base\, with the goal of improving the quality of telerehab. The humanoid has arms\, a torso\, and a face to play games with and guide patients under the supervision of a remote clinician. \nTo understand the usability of this system\, we conducted a survey of hundreds of rehab clinicians. We found that therapists in the United States believe Flo would improve communication\, patient motivation\, and patient compliance\, compared to traditional telepresence for rehab. Therapists highlighted the importance of high-quality video to enable telerehab with their patients and were positive about the usefulness of features which make up the Flo system for enabling telerehab. \nTo compare telepresence interactions with vs without the social robot\, we conducted controlled studies\, the first to rigorously compare SRAT to classical telepresence (CT). We found that for many SRAT is more enjoyable than and preferred over CT. The results varied by age\, motor function\, and cognitive function\, a novel result. \nTo understand how therapists and patients respond to and use SRAT in the wild over long-term use\, we deployed Flo at an elder care facility. Therapists used Flo with their own patients however they deemed best. They developed new ways to use the system and highlighted challenges they faced. \nTo ease the load of performing assessments via telepresence\, I constructed a pipeline to predict the motor function of patients using RGBD video of them doing activities via telepresence. The pipeline extracts poses from the video\, calculates kinematic features and reachable workspace\, and predicts level of impairment using a random forest of decision trees.\nFinally\, I have aggregated our findings over all these studies and provide a path forward to continue the evolution of SRAT.

However\, tasks in our daily lives are much more complicated — consisting of multiple sub-tasks and requiring high dexterity skills — and the typical “learning from scratch” scheme is hardly scale to such complex long-horizon tasks. \nIn this talk\, I propose to extend the range of tasks that robots can learn by acquiring a useful skillset and efficiently harnessing these skills. As a first step\, I will introduce a novel benchmark for complex long-horizon manipulation tasks\, IKEA furniture assembly environment. Then\, I will present skill chaining approaches that enable sequential skill composition to perform long-horizon tasks. Finally\, I will talk about how to learn a long-horizon task efficiently using skills and skill priors extracted from diverse data.

Using simulation tools to predict human movements is particularly critical for training AI-enabled robots interacting with humans\, providing testbeds for wearable device design\, and generating a wealth of labeled\, high-fidelity human motion data. However\, existing physics simulators and motor control algorithms for modeling human movements were developed with a fictitious “average human” in mind\, while in reality we are often more interested in predicting the motion of a particular real person. Pursuing the quest towards building personalized predictive human models\, we develop a learnable and differentiable physics simulator to harness the power of data\, and a data acquisition pipeline to provide large-scale biomechanical motion data for the learnable simulator to consume. These computational tools can potentially simulate a wide range of scenarios\, but also provide the option to be personalized to specific individuals using only a moderate amount of data. While we focus on the application domains related to human movements\, these tools are general and applicable to other robotic research problems on optimal control and parameter estimation. In this talk\, I will describe our overall vision on perusing personalized predictive human models\, as well as a collection of projects that advanced the state of the art toward this vision.

Such systems typically take the form of grounded kinesthetic devices\, ungrounded wearable devices\, or surface devices\, and they enable the user to act on and feel a remote or virtual environment. I will elucidate key approaches to creating effective haptic interfaces by showcasing several systems my team created and evaluated over the years. I will go into more detail about Haptipedia\, our online database of grounded force-feedback devices\, and Haptify\, the system we recently created to quantitatively benchmark the performance of such interfaces. The talk will then transition to physical human-robot interaction (pHRI)\, where the engineered system acts as a social agent rather than a tool. In addition to inventing tactile sensors\, we have created a robot that plays exercise games with its human partner and have developed methods for learning dynamic physical interactions from demonstrations\, both with applications to rehabilitation. Finally\, I will present HuggieBot\, a custom robot that uses visual and haptic sensing to give good interactive hugs. The presented research stems from collaborations with Hasti Seifi\, Karon MacLean\, Farimah Fazlollahi\, Naomi Fitter\, Mayumi Mohan\, Michelle Johnson\, Siyao “Nick” Hu\, Alexis Block\, and many others from Penn\, MPI-IS\, and elsewhere.

Using this kinetic relation we solve boundary value problems for a bistable bar immersed in a constant temperature bath and show that the resultant force-extension relation matches very well with the Langevin dynamics results. We estimate the force fluctuations at the pulled end of the bar due to thermal kicks from the bath by using a partition function. We also show rate dependence of hysteresis in cyclic loading of the bar arising from the stick-slip kinetics. we also extract equilibrium and non-equilibrium information from an over-damped Langevin system using fluctuation theorems. \nSecond\, we use a double-well stored energy function in a chemo-elastic model of gels to capture the existence of two phases of the network. We model cyclic compression/decompression experiments on fibrous gels and show that they exhibit propagating interfaces and hysteretic stress-strain curves that have been observed in experiments. We can capture features in the rate-dependent response of these fibrous gels without recourse to finite element calculations. We also use the model to study the rheological behavior of fibrous gels. We obtain the storage and loss modulus of fibrous gels by performing small amplitude oscillatory compression around various levels of deformation.

Multiphoton imaging will likely play a major role in understanding how the brain works at the level of neural circuits. In this talk\, in vivo structural and functional imaging of mouse brain using long wavelength excitation and three-photon microscopy will be presented. By quantitative comparison to two-photon microscopy\, the application space where 3-photon microscopy outperforms conventional 2-photon microscopy will be defined. In addition\, a number of interesting directions\, including new laser sources\, new spectral windows\, optimum illumination schemes\, etc.\, will be presented\, and their impact on further improving the imaging depth\, volume\, or speed in biological tissues will be discussed.
