SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Embryogenesis: A Cascade of Dynamical Systems"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWe aim to establish and experimentally test mathematical models of embryogenesis. While the foundation of this research is based on models of isolated developmental events\, the ultimate challenge is to formulate and understand dynamical systems encompassing multiple stages of development and multiple levels of regulation. These range from specific chemical reactions in single cells to coordinated dynamics of multiple cells during morphogenesis. Examples of our dynamical systems models of embryogenesis – from the events in the Drosophila egg to the early stages of gastrulation – will be presented. Each of these will demonstrate what had been learned from model analysis and model-driven experiments\, and what further research directions are guided by these models.

SUMMARY:"Compressive Sensing: From Algorithms to Circuits"
DESCRIPTION:Compressive Sensing is an acquisition technique which relies on the sparsity of the underlying signals\, to enable sampling below the classical Nyquist rate. To do so\, the signals must be acquired in an incoherent way with respect to the sparsity basis\, which is classically obtained in practice by acquiring the signal through projection on a random PAM signal with i.i.d. symbols. \nWe first show that advantages with respect to the above “classical” compressive sensing approach can be achieved by exploiting the fact that\, while sparsity is not under a system designer’s control\, incoherence is\, and therefore flexibility and creativity in implementing compressed sensing systems rely on the strategic design and control of incoherence. To accomplish this\, we then assume that the signals to be acquired are not only sparse\, but also localized\, e.g. for nearly all practical applications\, the signals of interest preferentially occupy a given subspace (for instance they are all low-pass or high-pass in the frequency domain). We show how\, for localized signals\, the acquisition sequences can be designed to maximize their “rakeness\,” that is\, to maximize their capability to collect the energy of the samples during the acquisition phase and increase by several dBs the average SNR achieved in signal reconstruction. \nWe will then describe the design in a 0.18um CMOS technology of the most popular architecture for implementing A/D converters based on compressive sensing\, namely the Random Modulation Pre-Integration (RMPI). We will show that the direct circuit implementation of the classical acquisition scheme exploiting i.i.d sequences leads to a highly suboptimal solution\, and one needs therefore to follow a synergetic design between algorithm-circuit-system. We will show how the use of rakeness-based CS acquisition sequences can reduce the complexity of the implemented A/D from 16 to 8 stages for processing ECG signals and from 64 to 24 for EMG ones. Furthermore\, rakeness-derived sequences also eliminate the necessity for pre- or post-acquisition filtering stages intended to suppress high frequency artifacts and 60-Hz power-line noise interference. \nFinally\, we will show how the use of CS guarantee some level of privacy in information transmission\, which makes the CS signal acquisition paradigm even more suitable for applications in the area of Body Area Networks and Internet of Things.

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.

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: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: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: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: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: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.

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).
