Talk Title: Patient Centered Systems for Remote Patient Monitoring
Abstract: Reliance on Internet connectivity is detrimental where modern networking technology is lacking, power outages are frequent, or network connectivity is expensive, sparse, or non-existent (i.e., underserved urban communities, rural areas, natural disasters). Though there has been much research conducted around 5G and 6G serving as the conduit for connecting any and everything; scalability issues are a major concern and real-world deployments have been limited. Realization of the limitations resulting from reliance on Internet and cellular connectivity are prevalent in mHealth applications where remote patient monitoring has improved the timeliness of clinical decision making, decreased the length of hospital stays, and reduced mortality rates everywhere in the nation except in medically underserved and rural communities in the US like Appalachian Kentucky, where chronic disease is approximately 20% more prevalent than other areas. As an alternative, deploying resilient networking technology can facilitate the flow of information in resource-deprived environments to disseminate non-emergency, but life saving data. In addition, leveraging opportunistic communication can supplement cellular networks to assist with keeping communication channels open during high-use and extreme situations. This talk will discuss the pragmatic applications of designing opportunistic systems for particular entities (patients, citizens, etc.); specifically applied to healthcare and increasing patient adherence, permitting any community to become smart and connected while simultaneously keeping network connectivity costs to a minimum.
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium
Biography: Corey E. Baker holds the position of Assistant Professor in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC). Prior to joining USC, Baker served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Kentucky (UK) as well as an Application and Framework Engineer in Health and Research Products at Apple Inc where he worked on medical and research frameworks such as CareKit and ResearchKit. In his current role, Baker directs the Network Reconnaissance (NetRecon) Lab, where his research focuses on developing full-stack systems for distributing, protecting, and authenticating data in opportunistic networking scenarios. These scenarios encompass rural remote patient monitoring, smart cities, and natural disasters, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the well-being of individuals. Baker’s research also involves evaluating the practical applications of opportunistic delay-tolerant networks (DTNs), software-defined networks (SDNs), and human-centered design in empowering device-to-device (D2D) social networks for crowd-sourcing information. By leveraging opportunistic communication, Baker seeks to provide complementary solutions to traditional networks, which often rely on centralized infrastructures such as the Internet.

Title: Toward Learning and Forecasting with Temporal Knowledge Graphs
Date and Time: Tuesday, January 22nd, 2025 - 1:00p - 3:00p
Location: SAL 213
Committee: Aram Galstyan (Chair), Emilio Ferrara (Tenured Faculty), Fred Morstatter, Antonio Ortega (External Faculty
Abstract: Temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) model real-world relationships between entities over time, enabling insight extraction from unstructured data. While powerful for various applications, TKGs are inherently limited by incompleteness and noise, making their completion and forecasting crucial research areas.
This thesis tackles the key challenges in TKG forecasting: relation sparsity in large-scale graphs, continuous integration of new data while preserving existing knowledge, and entity evolution as new entities emerge and existing ones appear in novel contexts. Through novel methodological frameworks, this research demonstrates improved predictive accuracy, robustness to data sparsity, and adaptability to evolving data, validated through extensive evaluation on both standard benchmark and real-world datasets.

Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Placid M. Ferreira, University of Illinois
Talk Title: IONICS-BASED NANOMANUFACTURING
Abstract: Mechanics and transport at the micro- and nanoscale offer a rich set of controllable phenomena that can be exploited for the development of manufacturing processes compatible with these dimensional scales. Here, we exploit ionic transport in solids as the basis of highly controllable, efficient, high-resolution, high-throughput nanomanufacturing processes for producing metallic (specifically, silver and copper) nanostructures.
This talk will focus on the exploitation of the high room-temperature ionic conductivity in silver and copper-based superionic glasses as the basis of subtractive and additive nano-manufacturing processes such as superionic imprinting/stamping, roll patterning and direct writing. Taking a traditional manufacturing perspective, the talk will discuss tooling and tool materials; process characterization and rates; and tool wear with such processes. Applications and future directions towards photochemical patterning for ionics-based nanomanufacturing processes will also be discussed.

From 2003 to 2009, he was the director of the Center for Chemical-Electrical-Mechanical Manufacturing Systems (Nano-CEMMS), an NSF-sponsored Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center after which he served as the Head of the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at Illinois until August 2015. He currently leads the Center for Networked Intelligent Components and Environments, a translational research collaboration between the University of Illinois and Foxconn Interconnect Technology.
Professor Ferreira graduated with a PhD in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University in 1987, M.Tech (Mechanical) from IIT Bombay, 1982 and B.E. (Mechanical) for University of Bombay in 1980. He has been on the mechanical engineering faculty at Illinois since 1987, serving as the associate head for graduate programs and research from 1999 to 2002.
