SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for Physical Problems & Biological Problems"
DESCRIPTION:We will present a new approach to develop a data-driven\, learning-based framework for predicting outcomes of physical and biological systems and for discovering hidden physics from noisy data. We will introduce a deep learning approach based on neural networks (NNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs). We also introduce new NNs that learn functionals and nonlinear operators from functions and corresponding responses for system identification. Unlike other approaches that rely on big data\, here we “learn” from small data by exploiting the information provided by the physical conservation laws\, which are used to obtain informative priors or regularize the neural networks. We will also make connections between Gauss Process Regression and NNs and discuss the new powerful concept of meta-learning. We will demonstrate the power of PINNs for several inverse problems in fluid mechanics\, solid mechanics and biomedicine including wake flows\, shock tube problems\, material characterization\, brain aneurysms\, etc\, where traditional methods fail due to lack of boundary and initial conditions or material properties.

SUMMARY:ESE Seminar: "Beyond Supervised Learning for Biomedical Imaging"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Today\, many biomedical imaging tasks\, such as 3D reconstruction\, denoising\, detection\, registration\, and segmentation\, are solved with machine learning techniques. In this talk\, I will present a flexible learning-based framework that has allowed us to derive efficient solutions for a variety of such problems\, without relying on heavy supervision. I will primarily employ image registration as a concrete application and present the details of VoxelMorph\, our unsupervised learning-based image registration tool. I will show empirical results obtained by co-registering thousands of brain MRI scans where VoxelMorph has yielded state-of-the-art accuracy with runtimes that are orders of magnitude faster than conventional tools. Finally\, I will present some recent results where we used VoxelMorph to learn conditional deformable templates that can reveal population variation as a function of factors of interest\, such as aging or genetics. Our code is freely available at https://github.com/voxelmorph/voxelmorph.

SUMMARY:MEAM Special Seminar: "Differences in Material Properties of Trabecular Bone Tissue from Modeling- and Remodeling-Based Bone Formation in Rats"
DESCRIPTION:Bone undergoes continuous changes during life through processes of bone modeling and remodeling. Modeling-based bone formation (MBF) i.e. bone formation without prior activation of osteoclastic resorption\, only occurs during growth\, healing\, and in response to external mechanical loading. Remodeling-based bone formation (RBF)\, which is tightly coupled with bone resorption by osteoclasts\, plays a predominant role maintaining skeletal health. Recent studies identified the activation of MBF as an important mechanism by which anabolic agents\, such as intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH)\, rapidly elicit new bone formation. Due to the challenge of differentiating between MBF and RBF on a thick bone specimen\, the quality of the bone tissue generated through these two distinct cellular mechanisms is unknown. Therefore\, the goal of this study is to (1) develop an imaging method that can be coupled with a mechanical testing platform for reliable identification and examination of material properties of MBF and RBF on thick bone sections\, and (2) define the differences in material properties of trabecular bone tissue from MBF and RBF.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: "In-Situ Resistance Degradation & Switching of Bulk Fe-doped SrTiO3 and Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia"
DESCRIPTION:Perovskite-type titanates are the standard dielectric used in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs)\, and yttria-stabilized (YSZ) is the prototypical fast oxygen conductor used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and oxygen sensors. Under a DC electric field\, the resistance of YSZ and Fe-doped strontium titanate (Fe-STO) degrades in an indistinguishable way. This is surprising because\, unlike YSZ\, Fe-STO is a p-type semiconductor\, so they cannot possibly degrade by the same mechanism. For decades\, it is known that the degradation of perovskite titanates is caused by the migration of oxygen vacancies towards the cathode\, where they are blocked\, and thus pile up\, which changes the region to n-type. In contrast\, through highly accelerated in situ lifetime tests\, we determined\, for the first time\, that the DC voltage induces in YSZ a metal-insulator transition that propagates from the cathode to the anode\, which lowers the resistance by orders of magnitude. In situ studies have further provided direct observations and mechanisms of resistance switching of both YSZ and Fe-STO. This is also of great importance as they relate to another technologically relevant device: resistance random access memory (ReRAM)\, which is currently explored for neuromorphic computing.

SUMMARY:ESE PhD Thesis Defense: "Affordances and Control of a Spine Morphology for Robotic Quadrupedal Locomotion"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: How does a robot’s body affect what it can do? This talk explores this question with respect to a morphology common to biology but rare in robotics: the presence of a bendable back. Using the Canid and Inu quadrupedal robots\, I describe and quantify several advantages afforded by this morphological design choice for legged machines that can be evaluated against the spine’s added weight and complexity. Additionally\, I discuss control strategies related to quadrupedal running with a spine.
