SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Deep Learning and Uncertainty Quantification: Methodologies and Applications"
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty is ubiquitous in physical and engineering science because of the lack of knowledge\, inaccuracy in measurements\, objective stochastic nature. “You cannot be certain about uncertainty”. Uncertainty quantification plays an essential role in decision making\, solutions of partial differential equations\, optimal design\, etc. However\, quantifying the uncertainty is not trivial in computational science. The difficulty of uncertainty quantifications increases dramatically with for instance\, the dimensionality of the problems\, the type of noise in the data\, the complexity of black box functions where the data is obtained (large scale simulations\, expensive experiments)\, etc. Moreover\, with the knowledge of physics\, how to quantify uncertainty with only a few numbers of data should be considered properly. \nUncertainty quantification and its interactions with deep learning is a recently emerging interdisciplinary area that leverages the power of statistical methods\, machine learning models\, numerical methods and data-driven approach to provide reliable inference for quantities of interest in natural science and engineering problems. Given the fast growth in deep learning\, probabilistic methods and the large volume of data available across different research areas (computer visions\, natural language processing\, decision making)\, we aim in taking advantage of these recent advances to propose novel methodologies to solve problems where uncertainty quantification plays important roles. \nThis talk will highlight our recent process on the interaction between deep learning and uncertainty quantifications in the aspects of methodologies and applications. On the methodology side\, solutions regarding partial differential equations (forward problems) and system identifications (inverse problems) will be discussed with robust uncertainty estimations. Active learning and data acquisition will also be covered in the presence of uncertainty. Equipped with the methodologies we have developed\, we will briefly discuss some applications of such uncertainty quantification techniques in real-world problems such as cardiac flow activation mapping\, optimal design as well as analysis for high dimensional data.

SUMMARY:BE Doctoral Dissertation: "Biophysical dynamics of RGS-LOV proteins as systems for light-induced membrane recruitment" (Ivan Kuznetsov)
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and \nDr. Brian Chow are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Ivan Kuznetsov. \nTitle: Biophysical dynamics of RGS-LOV proteins as systems for light-induced membrane recruitment \nDate: August 30\, 2021 \nTime: 10:00 AM \nLocation: Levine 307 and via zoom at the link below: \n\nhttps://upenn.zoom.us/j/93272141232?pwd=TWRMb2V5Wmg3Mk92aFlCcjk5cFM4UT09 \nAbstract: \nLight–oxygen–voltage sensitive (LOV) domains represent a ubiquitous family of blue-light photoreceptors. Recently\, we reported BcLOV4\, a LOV protein from B. cinerea\, which demonstrates a light-induced protein-lipid interaction with the plasma membrane. Previous work demonstrated preliminary characterization of BcLOV4 but stopped short of demonstrating its applications as an optogenetic tool. Here\, we report a 3D non-linear finite element model of the cell-wide spatiotemporal dynamics of BcLOV4 membrane recruitment. Inputs were data from single cells unique in morphology and initial absolute protein concentration\, as opposed to fitting an idealized cell to population data. All necessary BcLOV4 biophysical parameters were measured with recombinant protein or in HEK cells. The model outperforms existing (2D and/or linear) approaches and recapitulates observed complexities\, including cell-geometric effects on recruitment efficiency and inter-instrument diffractive effects. It also highlights underappreciated determinants of signaling magnitude\, contrast\, and spatial confinement – such as the nonlinearity introduced by finite membrane-binding sites\, outsized role of rebinding kinetics\, and impact of excitation volume on the signaling impulse response. By capturing both intrinsic biophysical contributions of the optogenetic tools and extrinsic contributions of the optical hardware\, this framework improves understanding of how to spatiotemporally shape signaling.\nThe biophysical and computational study of BcLOV4 suggest that it has great utility as a generalizable modality for optogenetic tool development. We leverage this to construct a multitude of BcLOV4-based tools\, focusing primarily on Rho GTPases\, specifically Rac1 and RhoA. We demonstrate that these tools can generate physiologically relevant downstream signaling\, including cell motility and\, in the case of RhoA\, YAP-TEAD-dependent transcriptional activity. This work sets the groundwork for a BcLOV4-based optogenetic toolkit for accurate dissection of mechanotransduction.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Synthetic Biochemistry: Engineering Molecules and Pathways for Precision Medicine" (Michael Lin)
DESCRIPTION:Update 9/2/21: Unfortunately due to the flooding in Philadelphia we will not be able to hold this seminar on campus. Check your email for the zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. \nThe most effective medicines are those that target the earliest causes of disease\, rather than later manifestations. Engineering of biomolecules is a promising but underexplored approach to precisely detecting or targeting disease causes. I will present our work to develop a novel approach to treating cancer by detecting the signaling abnormalities that give rise to cancer. Interestingly\, this effort involves biomolecular engineering at multiple scales: proteins\, pathways\, and viruses. I will also discuss how our work has translated serenditously to developing treatments for SARSCoV2.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "The Role of Manipulation Primitives in Building Dexterous Robotic Systems"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will illustrate four different perspectives that we as a community have embraced to study robotic manipulation: 1) controlling a simplified model of the mechanics of interaction with an object; 2) using haptic feedback such as force or tactile to control the interaction with an environment; 3) planning sequences or trajectories of manipulation actions to achieve long-horizon goals; and 4) using visual cues to guide manipulation actions. These are complementary perspectives\, and building general dexterous robotic manipulation systems requires integrating them. I will discuss the key role that manipulation primitives play at integrating these perspectives. In particular I will present recent work on tactile dexterity to embed tactile feedback into the mechanics models of frictional contact\, and on planning with visual affordances to execute dexterous long-term behavior on novel objects. I will illustrate this work in the context of a dual-arm dexterous robotic system.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "No Equations\, No Variables\, No Space\, No Time: Data and the Modeling of Complex Systems”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nObtaining predictive dynamical equations from data lies at the heart of science and engineering modeling\, and is the linchpin of our technology. In mathematical modeling\, one typically progresses from observations of the world (and some serious thinking!) first to equations for a model\, and then to the analysis of the model to make predictions. Good mathematical models give good predictions (and inaccurate ones do not)\, but the computational tools for analyzing them are the same: algorithms that are typically based on closed form equations. \nWhile the skeleton of the process remains the same\, today we witness the development of mathematical techniques that operate directly on observations data\, and appear to circumvent the serious thinking that goes into selecting variables and parameters and deriving accurate equations. The process then may appear to the user a little like making predictions by “looking in a crystal ball”. Yet the “serious thinking” is still there and uses the same – and some new – mathematics: it goes into building algorithms that jump directly from data to the analysis of the model (which is now not available in closed form) so as to make predictions. Our work here presents a couple of efforts that illustrate this ”new” path from data to predictions. It really is the same old path\, but it is traveled by new means. \n

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Dynamics of 3D Cell Migration and Organ Formation" (Kenneth Yamada)
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held virtually on zoom – link coming soon. \nReal-time microscopy of the dynamics of cells and tissues in 3D environments is opening new windows to understanding the biophysical mechanisms of complex biological processes. Direct visualization is allowing us to explore fundamental questions in more depth that include: How do cells migrate in 3D? How do cancer cells invade? How is the extracellular matrix assembled? How are organs formed?  Visualizing how cells move and organize into tissues is not only providing descriptive insights\, but is also leading to the identification of novel\, unexpected physical and mechanical mechanisms relevant to tissue engineering. Cells can use varying combinations of cell adhesion to adjacent cells and to the surrounding extracellular matrix with localized cellular contractility to migrate\, invade\, and produce the complex tissue architecture needed for organ formation.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Soft-Matter Engineering for Robotics and Wearables"
DESCRIPTION:Progress in soft lithography and soft materials integration have led to extraordinary new classes of soft-matter sensors\, circuits\, and transducers. These material technologies are composed almost entirely out of soft matter – elastomers\, gels\, and conductive fluids like eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) – and represent the building blocks for machines and electronics that are soft\, flexible\, and stretchable. Because of their intrinsic compliance and elasticity\, such devices can be incorporated into soft\, biologically-inspired robots or be worn on the body and operate continuously without impairing natural body motion. In this talk\, I will review recent contributions from my research group in creating soft multifunctional materials for wearable electronics and soft robotics using these emerging practices in “soft-matter engineering.” In particular\, I will focus on elastomer composites and microfluidic EGaIn architectures for highly stretchable digital electronics\, wearable energy harvesting\, and electrically-responsive actuation. When possible\, I will relate the design and operation of these soft-matter technologies to underlying principles of soft matter physics and practices in controls and machine. In addition to presenting my own research in the field\, I will also briefly review broader efforts and emerging challenges in utilizing soft multifunctional materials for applications in wearable electronics\, bioelectronic interfaces\, and soft robotics.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Design of Sequential Catalytic Solvolysis Process for Selectively Deconstructing Waste Plastics"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nEnvironmental plastic problems have recently arisen as a core subject of global debate and concern. Plastic products for multiple applications have risen from 1.7 million in 1950 to 368 million tons in 2019 and are projected to reach 1\,800 million tons by 2050. Recycling plastics and enabling the circular economy are essential to mitigate the accumulation of plastic wastes. However\, the grand challenge of recycling waste plastics is the heterogeneity of comingled plastic wastes\, containing various incompatible polymers\, such as polyethylene (PE)\, polypropylene (PP)\, polyethylene terephthalate (PET)\, polyamide (PA)\, etc.\, and additives and contaminants. This lecture will discuss the catalytic solvolysis processes that convert various plastics\, such as polyesters\, polyamides\, and polyolefins\, to value-added products such as monomers or hydrocarbon fuels and lubricants. Furthermore\, a sequential catalytic solvolysis process\, in which an individual polymer or classes of polymers in a plastic mixture is selectively deconstructed stage-by-stage\, is designed. This novel process may enable a cost-competitive chemical upcycling method for processing comingled plastic wastes without laborious physical sorting.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: "From Conducting Polymers to Conducting Molecular Search A Materials Science Pathway to the Perkin Medal"
DESCRIPTION:The Perkin Medal that Dr. Frommer is receiving in September cites her lifetime scientific accomplishments in electronically conducting polymers and atomic force microscopy. The reality is these are but two points on a continuum of using chemistry to reveal the molecular underpinnings of material properties. \nThis talk will take a path through studies to explore the evolution of her studies of materials and in-situ measurements of molecular interactions that lead to the control of matter on the nanoscale.\nThe thread that runs through these studies is using chemical understanding to document and manipulate material properties in the era of nanotechnology. \nDiverse fields will be on the itinerary\, from macromolecular solvation to 3D nanoprinting to data curation of the molecular universe.

SUMMARY:PICS Colloquium: "Protein dynamics and energy landscape engineering"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Experiments only reveal a few of a protein’s structures with the atomic detail required to rationally engineer mutations and drugs. However\, a protein actually has a vast landscape of uncharted conformations that present untapped opportunities for manipulating its function. My lab is developing simulation methods\, called Markov state models (MSMs)\, that provide unprecedented access to proteins’ energy landscapes. We are employing these methods to understand how proteins function\, to identify “cryptic” drug binding sites\, and to design new drugs and proteins. Importantly\, we have also developed a suite of experimental techniques for testing our predictions. This highly general platform is enabling progress on numerous scientific fronts. This talk will focus on how we are using this platform to understand and combat viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and Ebola.
