SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Examining Heterogeneous Populations of Microbes at the Single Cell Level Using Stabilized Emulsions”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nConventional methods in microbiology can be limited by long assay execution and analysis times\, large reagent volumes\, and high single-use supply costs. These limitations can be overcome using drop-based microfluidics in which picoliter-sized\, water-in-oil emulsions serve as independent microreactors\, allowing for the compartmentalization of microbes and high-throughput assaying at the single cell level. Here\, drop-based microfluidics is used to interrogate the physiological heterogeneity of P. aeruginosa cells in a microbial population using a technique we name DropSOAC (Drop Stabilization On A Chip). The DropSOAC method stabilizes the position and volume of monodisperse water-in-oil drops with diameters <20 mm within a monolayer array on a microfluidic chip for 24 h. The stability of drops is maintained by soaking the device in a reservoir containing both water and oil in thermodynamic equilibrium. This ensures that phase equilibrium of the drop emulsion fluids within the porous PDMS material structure is maintained during drop incubation and imaging. Continuing this work\, we aim to study the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance now observed in common bacterial strains to find effective treatments for persistent bacterial infections. This will be performed using a microfluidic chip that is capable of encapsulating in parallel\, 96 barcoded assay samples in drops using fluorescent particles. Using a custom-built microscope that can read fluorescence from drops at rates of thousands per second\, we demonstrate sorting for a particular barcode combination from our droplet library. The results presented here show the potential of drop-based microfluidics for high-throughput assaying of heterogeneous populations of microbes at the single cell level.

SUMMARY:MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: "Problems in Nonlinear Homogenization: Bounds\, Estimates\, Macroscopic Instabilities\, and Post-Bifurcation Response"
DESCRIPTION:This talk is concerned with the use of nonlinear homogenization to study the effective response of composites. We look to illustrate the effect that constitutive assumptions have on the methods by which such estimates can be obtained\, as well as on the actual effective\, or homogenized\, response of the material. Although helpful in ensuring existence in a variational setting\, convexity is often inconsistent with certain physical requirements (e.g. objectivity). Such is the case of hyperelasticity\, the subject of the first part of the talk. The lack of convexity of the stored-energy functions of such hyperelastic systems has long been known to lead to the development of instabilities. When such instabilities do not result in material failure\, we look to study the post-bifurcation behavior of the system. We present a framework for doing so\, and compute the post-bifurcation response of a laminated hyperelastic composite explicitly under general three-dimensional loading conditions. In the second part of the talk\, we will consider the class of magneto-elastic composites\, which consist of hyperelastic materials that are also magnetically susceptible. Unlike in the case of hyperelasticity\, there lacks a complete mathematical framework for obtaining the effective response of such materials\, and researchers have only begun to investigate the potential for instabilities in these materials. We therefore look to generalize the same methodology used successfully in the purely mechanical context to study the post-bifurcation behavior of magneto-elastic composites. This in part requires a rigorous generalization of the theoretical aspects that underlie the method. With this\, we calculate the post-bifurcation response of a magneto-elastic material under general plane-strain loading conditions with a magnetic field applied in the plane of deformation.

SUMMARY:ESE Seminar: "2D Materials for Unconventional Devices: From Flexible/Wearable Tattoo Sensors to Monolayer Memory"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk will present our latest research adventures on 2D nanomaterials towards greater scientific understanding and advanced engineering applications. In particular the talk will highlight our work on flexible electronics\, zero-power devices\, monolayer memory (atomristors)\, non-volatile RF switches\, and wearable tattoo sensors. Non-volatile memory devices based on 2D materials are an application of defects and is a rapidly advancing field with rich physics that can be attributed to sulfur vacancies or metal diffusion. Atomistic modeling and atomic resolution imaging are contemporary tools under use to elucidate the memory phenomena. Likewise\, from a practical point\, electronic tattoos based on graphene have ushered a new material platform that has highly desirable practical attributes including optical transparency\, mechanical imperceptibility\, and is the thinnest conductive electrode sensor that can be integrated on skin for physiological measurements. Much of these research achievements have been published in nature\, IEEE and ACS journals\, and widely covered by the news media including Time magazine\, BBC\, Nature news\, IEEE spectrum\, and several dozen media outlets. \nReferences:\n[1] Akinwande\, et al.\, “Graphene and 2D Materials for Silicon Technology\,” Nature\, 2019.\n[2] X.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Scalable Fabrication of Nanostructured Energy Storage Systems"
DESCRIPTION:The demand for autonomous devices\, including intelligent sensor platforms for IOT applications\, is driving a parallel need for efficient energy storage systems that are inexpensive to produce\, exhibit high power and energy densities\, and occupy a minimum footprint on the device. Necessary enhancement in the performance of batteries and supercapacitors can be realized by fabrication of hierarchical 3D architectures with dimensional control ranging from the nm to the macroscale\, however the most promising structures have proven difficult to achieve using approaches suitable for large scale production. \nWe are fabricating energy storage devices using combinations of nanoimprint lithography\, self-assembly\, and novel approaches to high-rate materials synthesis including rapid photothermal processing. In one example\, 3D lithium-ion microbatteries are prepared via imprint lithography using inks comprised of LiMn2O4 and Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles and the battery cell is integrated vertically through layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly. The batteries are shown to possess superior capacity retention and high-power density. We also fabricate hierarchical graphene/carbon/FeOx nanoparticle composite anodes for high performance Li ion batteries using a combination of imprint lithography and photothermal processing\, wherein multilayer graphene embedded within a porous carbon matrix is generated in situ from a simple precursor film\, eliminating the need for externally sourced graphene. The approaches employed are rapid and highly efficient\, enabling batch fabrication for 3D microbattery systems as well as the roll-to-roll production of large energy storage batteries.

SUMMARY:PICS Colloquium: Concurrent Atomistic-Continuum Modeling and Simulation of Transport Processes in Crystalline Materials
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk we present a concurrent atomistic-continuum (CAC) method for modeling and simulation of transport processes in crystalline materials. The CAC formulation extends the Irving-Kirkwood procedure for deriving transport equations and fluxes for homogenized molecular systems to that for polyatomic crystalline materials by employing a concurrent two- level structural description of crystals. A multiscale representation of conservation laws is formulated that holds instantaneously\, as a direct consequence of Newton’s second law\, using the mathematical theory of generalized functions. Finite element (FE) solutions to the conservation equations\, as well as fluxes and temperature in the FE representation\, are introduced\, followed by numerical examples of atomic-scale structures of interfaces\, dynamics of fracture and dislocations\, and phonon transport in multiscale structured materials. In addition to providing a methodology for concurrent multiscale simulation of transport processes under a single theoretical framework\, the CAC formulation can also be used to compute fluxes (stress and heat flux) in atomistic and coarse-grained atomistic simulations.

SUMMARY:CIS Seminar: “A Geometric Perspective on Computing Motion”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe connections between geometry and mechanics have been explored for centuries. How these connections shape computation is a question we are just beginning to explore.  \nIf computers can predict how materials move and deform\, they can help us to understand\, anticipate and manipulate the physical world. Our group develops models and algorithms that capture the characteristic behavior of a mechanical system. We focus on a geometric interpretation of the physics. Building a discrete geometric picture from the ground up\, we mimic the axioms\, structures\, and symmetries of the smooth setting. The result is a readily computable model that preserves invariants and conservation laws.  \nWe develop models for elastic rods\, thin shells\, liquid threads\, droplets\, soap films\, and granular media. As we explore applications ranging from flagellar propulsion and robotics to fashion design\, we learn about the potential for impact on art\, medicine\, engineering and scientific research.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Developing neuroengineering solutions of biomedical relevance using crayfish as a model system"
DESCRIPTION:In my talk\, I will first describe one of the main projects in my lab that investigates the underlying cellular-molecular mechanisms for changes in alcohol sensitivity of crayfish with different prior social experiences. In this context\, I will explain why “simple” invertebrates may provide unique advantages for studying complex phenomena such as socially-dependent drug effects. Crayfish are inexpensive and easily maintained in the laboratory\, and they have an accessible nervous system with large\, identified neurons that link directly to behavior and can sustain many hours of experimental study. This allows for high precision and reproducibility and makes crayfish a suitable model not just for investigating neurobehavioral questions\, but for developing and improving biomedical devices and tools. In the second part of my talk\, I will illustrate two projects that are currently ongoing in collaboration with engineering colleagues at UMD. The first one aims to develop nanoparticles that wirelessly activate and record neural activity patterns using microwave signals. Preliminary data using individual neurons of the ex vivo crayfish nerve cord revealed that single action potentials can be robustly recorded by activating microwave signals in a nanoscale magnetic tunnel junction. The future goal of this project is to develop this technique for non-invasive monitoring and modulating of activity in brains of higher complexity. The second project interfaces the crayfish ex vivo ventral nerve cord and innervated hindgut with a multi-sensor 3D printed platform that contains cultured human gut cells and interchangeable colonies of microbiota. The physiological responses to serotonin release from cell cultures will be measured and quantified in crayfish neurons of the central and enteric nervous system and on corresponding hindgut motility with intracellular electrophysiology and motion tracking. The long-term goal is to develop a real-time\, high-throughput discovery platform that allows detailed investigation of the cellular processes underlying the gut-brain axis.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: “A Polymer Brush Approach to Controlling Biological Binding to Surfaces”
DESCRIPTION:Polymer brushes are a common feature in many biological surfaces. The ability to rapidly transform a substrate from a hard\, structural material to a soft\, hydrogel structure over the course of a few tens of nanometers makes polymer brushes elegant materials for tailoring the biology-materials interface. Polymer brushes\, because of their surface confinement\, are typically stretched from the surface when compared to identical unattached polymer segments and confinement provides them with useful barrier properties. This presentation will discuss recent studies of surface grown polymer brushes\, effects of charge on surface properties and brush viability\, the use of charged brushes for interaction with biological systems both in terms of directing cell growth and their use for support of cell membrane mimics. \nWhile “grown from” polymer brushes cannot address large surface area applications\, the use of block copolymers in place of “grown from” brushes provides most of the benefits of polymer brushes with the ability to coat large area surfaces. Surfaces used for anti-fouling coatings are an example of brush like\, large area application. Numerous studies have shown that amphiphilic brush surfaces (with both polar and non-polar groups) provide a broad range of anti-fouling properties. Here we describe new approaches to surface active block copolymers including the use of sequence controlled functional groups to tune surface\nproperties and surface placement.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Thermodynamics of Sequence-defined Polyelectrolyte Complexes”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nCharged polymers known as polyelectrolytes have been studied for decades\, however\, understanding their physical properties remains a persistent challenge for polymer scientists. This difficulty stems from the intricate interplay between length scales spanning as much as 3-4 orders of magnitude\, which has stymied our understanding of a truly important class of polymers; polyelectrolytes are widely used in applications ranging from food additives to paints\, and most biopolymers (proteins\, DNA\, polysaccharides) are also polyelectrolytes. However\, the complexity of charged polymers can be harnessed for molecular-level materials design. To demonstrate this\, we study a class of polyelectrolyte materials known as complex coacervates. Complex coacervates are aqueous solutions composed of oppositely-charged polyelectrolytes and salt that undergo an associative phase separation process. We use simulation and theory\, along with close experimental collaboration\, to demonstrate that coacervates are highly sensitive to precise charge patterning. We elucidate the key molecular features that play a large role in coacervate thermodynamics. Building upon these insights\, we demonstrate how coacervate phase behavior can be strongly tuned via specific charge sequences. We will show how the physical principles governing the thermodynamics of sequence-defined polyelectrolytes provides the foundation to study coacervate-driven assembly on length scales ranging from monomer-level structure to block copolymer nano-phase separation.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Fourier ptychographic microscopy is a technique that achieves a high space-bandwidth product\, i.e. high resolution and high field-of-view. In Fourier ptychographic microscopy\, variable illumination patterns are used to collect multiple low-resolution images. These low-resolution images are then computationally combined to create an image with resolution exceeding that of any single image from the microscope. Due to the necessity of acquiring multiple low-resolution images\, Fourier ptychographic microscopy has poor temporal resolution. Our aim is to improve temporal resolution in Fourier ptychographic microscopy\, achieving single-shot imaging without sacrificing space-bandwidth product. We use physical preprocessing and example-based super-resolution to achieve this goal by trading off generality of the imaging approach. \nIn example-based super-resolution\, the function relating low-resolution images to their high-resolution counterparts is learned from a given dataset. We take the additional step of optimizing the imaging hardware in order to collect more informative low-resolution images. We show that this “physical preprocessing” allows for improved image reconstruction with deep learning in Fourier ptychographic microscopy.

SUMMARY:ESE Seminar: "AI and Intelligent IC/Accelerator Design: A Synergistic Approach"
DESCRIPTION:The recent artificial intelligence (AI) boom has been largely driven by three confluence forces: algorithms\, big data\, and computing power enabled by modern integrated circuits (ICs) including specialized AI accelerators. In this talk\, I will present a synergistic approach on AI and intelligent IC/accelerator designs with two main themes\, AI for IC and IC for AI. As the semiconductor technology enters the era of extreme scaling\, IC design and manufacturing complexities are becoming extremely high. More intelligent and agile IC design technologies are needed than ever to optimize performance\, power\, area\, manufacturability\, reliability\, security\, etc.\, and to deliver equivalent scaling to Moore’s Law. I will present some recent results leveraging modern AI and machine learning advancement with domain-specific customizations for agile IC design and manufacturing closure. Meanwhile\, customized IC can drastically improve AI performance and energy efficiency by orders of magnitude. I will present the hardware/software co-design for energy-efficient neural networks. The bidirectional reinforcement of AI and IC technologies holds great potential to significantly advance the state-of-the-art of each other.

SUMMARY:Tedori-Callinan Lecture: "Isogeometric Analysis"
DESCRIPTION:The vision of Isogeometric Analysis was first presented in a paper published October 1\, 2005 [1].  Since then it has become a focus of research within both the fields of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) and is rapidly becoming a mainstream analysis methodology and a new paradigm for geometric design [2].  The key concept utilized in the technical approach is the development of a new foundation for FEA\, based on rich geometric descriptions originating in CAD\, resulting in a single geometric model that serves as a basis for both design and analysis. \nIn this overview\, I will describe some areas in which progress has been made in developing improved methodologies to efficiently solve problems that have been at the very least difficult\, if not impossible\, within traditional FEA.  I will also describe current areas of intense activity and areas where problems remain open\, representing both challenges and opportunities for future research (see\, e.g.\, [3\,4]). \nREFERENCES \n[1]  T.J.R.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: “Topology and Quantum Matter: From Axions to Spintronics”
DESCRIPTION:The confluence of fundamental symmetries and spin-orbit coupling is known to produce emergent electronic states in crystalline solids that are accurately described using the language of topology. This talk provides an overview of this relatively young field of research\, showing how the synthesis and study of topological quantum matter yields a playground for both exotic pursuits at millikelvin temperatures (such as the realization of axion electrodynamics in condensed matter [3]) and pragmatic technologies that work under ambient conditions (such as spintronic devices).

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Robot Design Concepts for Intuitive Physical Human-robot Interaction"
DESCRIPTION:Physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) aims at taking advantage of the complementary capabilities of robots and humans. One of the key challenges in pHRI is to provide a high-bandwidth human-robot interaction that is safe and intuitive for the human user. To this end\, it is proposed in this work to revisit the design of robots in order to provide a low-impedance mechanical interaction. The concept of macro-mini robotic system is used and applied to interactive robotic devices. Also\, the design of backdrivable redundant parallel robots is considered. In this concept\, parallel robots are used to provide backdrivability while kinematic redundancy is introduced to increase the rotational workspace of parallel mechanisms\, by alleviating the singularities. Solutions based on passive or active human-robot interfaces are proposed and examples of implementations are described. Prototypes of robotics systems developed at Université Laval based on the above concepts are demonstrated.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Evolution of the Conformational-free Energy Landscapes of Proteins"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nOne of the holy grails of drug-design is to obtain high-selectivity binding of a drug to the target protein\, an extremely challenging endeavor for proteins that share high sequence and structural similarity. We investigate several systems of high biological importance to elucidate how selectivity emerged during evolution and how it can inform the design of selective drugs. In particular\, we investigate three protein families\, i.e. human protein kinases\, receptors for plant hormone\, and strigolactone and SWEET transporters. These proteins show several orders of magnitude difference in their ligand affinity\, but share high sequence and structural similarity. This task involves understanding the structure-function relationship of proteins during evolution using advanced computational methods. We show how evolution-based methods such as the combination of reinforcement learning-based adaptive sampling and evolutionary couplings developed in our group could help simulate rare conformational change processes in proteins. In this talk\, we will not only demonstrate the utility of these new techniques to address a key challenge of understanding evolution of ligand perception\, but also the need\, feasibility and impact of computational evolutionary biophysics in understanding the fundamental questions in biology.

SUMMARY:ESE & Statistics Seminar: "Large Neural Networks: Insights from Linearized Models"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Modern machine learning models\, and in particular multilayer neural networks\, exhibit a broad range of puzzling phenomena. Their training requires to minimize a highly non-convex high-dimensional cost function\, and yet it is efficiently addressed using simple gradient descent (GD) or stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithms. This model contains more parameters than the number of samples\, and indeed they often are able to achieve zero training error\, i.e. to perfectly interpolate or classify the training data. In fact\, they can achieve zero training error even if the true labels are replaced by random ones.  Despite this fact\, they can generalize well beyond the training set. Finally\, far from being a nuisance or limitation\, this massive over parameterization appears to play an important role in explaining the power of these models. \nI will discuss these phenomena\, and how we can make sense of them by using some simple linear models. Finally\, I will discuss the limitations of these `linear explanations’\, and open challenges.\n[Based on joint work with: Behrooz Ghorbani\, Song Mei\, Theodor Misiakiewicz\, and with Ryan Tibshirani\, Saharon Rosset\, Trevor Hastie]

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Engineering Microdevices Using Atomic Layer Deposition and Electrowetting"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will cover 1) devices created one atomic layer at a time and 2) electrowetting optical elements. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) are self-limiting processes that enable accurate atomic-scale thickness control either through deposition or etching of various materials. We are developing novel manufacturing processes that study how ALD materials can be used to create nano-scale transducers. Example applications include thin film coatings for MEMS\, materials with tunable properties\, nano-scale sensors and actuators. We are also developing liquid optical components based on the electrowetting effect\, where the contact angle of a liquid on a dielectric substrate changes due to applied voltage. Optical lenses and prisms can be fabricated as individual components or as arrays and are electrically addressed by transparent electrodes. By applying a voltage between the liquid and the substrate\, the droplet changes curvature and the liquid interface acts as a variable focus lens or using multiple drive electrodes as a prism. This phenomenon can be used for wavefront compensation in adaptive optics\, communications\, beam steering\, optical switching and microscopy.

SUMMARY:PRiML Seminar: "Building Algorithms by Playing Games"
DESCRIPTION:A very popular trick for solving certain types of optimization problems is this: write your objective as the solution of a two-player zero-sum game\, endow both players with an appropriate learning algorithm\, watch how the opponents compete\, and extract an (approximate) solution from the actions/decisions taken by the players throughout the process. This approach is very generic and provides a natural template to produce new and interesting algorithms. I will describe this framework and show how it applies in several scenarios\, and describe recent work that draws a connection to the Frank-Wolfe algorithm and Nesterov’s Accelerated Gradient Descent.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Complexity in the Chemistry and Physics of Lipid Membranes as a Handle to Activate the Delivery of Cargo to Cells”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLipid materials having nanostructures that deviate from the conventional flat bilayer arrangement such as hexagonally packed lipid tubes and bi-continuous cubic phases are ubiquitous in nature. Their role remains elusive but over the years several pathologies and organelle functions have been coupled to lipid membrane structural complexity. In this talk\, we will discuss lipid membrane polymorphism and how it can be exploited to generate a new class of materials for the delivery of cargo to cells. We combine a number of techniques including X-ray scattering\, cryo-EM\, and cell culture to demonstrate that the structure of lipid nanoparticles is a powerful handle to boost the delivery of genes to cells. The simple argument that non-lamellar phases having intertwined nanoscale channels exist to increase surface-to-volume ratio might be insufficient to completely describe the experimental findings. \nIf there is time\, we will also introduce the concept of soft-material alloys. Lipids and polymers can mix in hybrid membranes having synergistic dynamical and structural properties; many of which are seen in lipid-protein membrane systems in nature

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Dynamical Systems Approach to Geophysical and Aerospace Flows"
DESCRIPTION:A dynamical systems approach is taken to explain the dynamics of two classes of ‘gap-leaping’ geophysical flow as well as the hypersonic second-mode instability. First\, in the context of a loop current system\, it is shown that multiple steady flow patterns with hysteresis exist and appear to satisfy a cusp catastrophe geometry of solutions. Which state the system assumes (looping or leaping or periodic eddy shedding) and when transitions between states occur\, will be discussed in terms of fundamental vorticity advection and dissipation. Second\, a global perspective of Gulf of Maine circulation leads to a new mechanism for Scotian Shelf Water crossover events. Finally\, by considering an idealized system and an analogy with harmonic oscillators\, a fundamental mechanism for the hypersonic second-mode instability is proposed.
