January 21, 2025 -MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Unique Behaviors of Liquid Crystal Elastomers”
MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Unique Behaviors of Liquid Crystal Elastomers”
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) exhibit complex thermomechanical behaviors that can be harnessed for a wide variety of applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, and impact protection. The material comprises stiff mesogens bound in an elastomeric network of flexible polymer chains. The mesogens can order and disorder in response to temperature and mechanical deformation. This allows […]

ASSET Seminar: “Towards Improving the Reliability of AI: Perspectives from Uncertainty Quantification and Fairness”
Abstract: Artificial intelligence holds enormous promise to automate our life. At the same time, AI systems can be incredibly brittle, unreliable, and biased. In this talk, I will present a few approaches towards making AI more reliable, trustworthy, and fair, drawing on recent work on uncertainty quantification and algorithmic fairness. Specifically, I will discuss how to […]
CBE Seminar: “Unlocking New Therapeutic Strategies by Reconstructing Cell Signaling Networks from the Ground Up” (Mohamad Abedi, University of Washington, Seattle)
Abstract: Immunotherapies have achieved remarkable success in treating hematological cancers, yet the solid tumor microenvironment remains a significant barrier to therapeutic breakthroughs. Machine learning (ML)-driven computational protein design offers a powerful approach to creating novel protein components tailored for specific functions. By combining ML-driven design with synthetic biology and immuno-engineering, we have developed innovative tools […]

ESE Seminar – “A changing grid powered by the new generations of power conversion, control, and energy management”
The electric grid is undergoing a transformative paradigm shift, driven by sweeping changes in generation, demand, and energy storage. By 2035, solar PV alone is expected to supply 40% of U.S. electricity, with substantial additional contributions from wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric sources—creating a renewable-dominant energy landscape. Meanwhile, electricity demand is accelerating due to rapid growth […]
BE Seminar – “The Neurobiology of Mistakes” (Becket Ebitz, Université de Montréal)
Humans and other animals do not always choose the most rewarding course of action, even when we have ample time and computational resources. Why do we make mistakes? The noiseLab uses a combination of theoretical, behavioral, and neurobiological techniques to address this question. In this talk, Dr. Becket Ebitz will discuss converging evidence that mistakes are the product of representational and temporal nonlinearities in neural activity that constrain our ability to make good decisions. The talk will argue that some of these nonlinearities have long-term adaptive benefits, even when they fail to produce the best decision in the moment.
