EWB Corral de Piedras (CDP) Project Meeting
Tue, Sep 18, 2012 @ 06:00 AM - 07:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
University Calendar
Come join EWB's Corral de Piedras (CDP) Project Meetings! In CDP, we are building a rainwater catchment system on a schoolhouse for the kids to drink water during school, with plans on expanding the system further.
We went to Honduras over Spring Break and we want to update everyone on how the trip went and how we can continue moving forward!
Questions/Comments? Feel free to email us at EWB@usc.edu!
*Note: Location is listed as "KAP" and it just means to meet in the lobby and we'll find a room together! It's usually KAP 164 or the few rooms around it. See you there!Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - Lobby

Medical Imaging Seminar Series
Tue, Sep 18, 2012 @ 01:45 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Zhongping Chen, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of California, Irvine
Talk Title: "Advances In Optical Coherence Tomography: Translation Of Oct Technology From Bench To Bedside"
Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the fastest growing areas of biomedical optics with many potential clinical applications. The recent development of Fourier domain OCT has significantly increased the imaging speed and sensitivity, and has enabled real-time 3-D imaging. The innovations in light source, detector, miniature probe, and image processing have greatly extended the clinical applications of OCT technology. Many of the functional extensions of OCT technology that were developed in the last decade, such as Doppler OCT, Polarization sensitivity OCT, and Phase resolved OCT, started to generate clinically important information in clinical studies. I will report several on-going research projects in my laboratory that focus on translating OCT technology to solve specific clinical problems. The challenges and opportunities in translational research will be discussed.
Biography: Dr. Zhongping Chen is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Director of OCT Laboratory at University of California, Irvine. He is a Co-Founder of OCT Medical Imaging Inc.. Dr. Chen received his B.S. degree in Applied Physics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1982, his M. S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University in 1987, and his Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics from Cornell University in 1993.
Dr. Chenâs research interests encompass the areas of biomedical photonics, microfabrication, biomaterials and biosensors. His research group has pioneered the development of functional optical coherence tomography, which simultaneously provides high resolution 3-D images of tissue structure, blood flow, and birefringence. He has published more than 180 peer-reviewed papers and review articles and holds a number of patents in the fields of biomaterials, biosensors, and biomedical imaging.
Dr. Chen is a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), a Fellow of SPIE, and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America.

Epstein Institute Seminar Series / ISE 651 Seminar
Tue, Sep 18, 2012 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Suvrajeet Sen, Professor, Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Talk Title: "Fallacies of Certainty in Operational Decision Models"
Series: Epstein Institute Seminar Series
Abstract: For most practitioners in government and industry, uncertainty is a fact of life. Yet, decision aids for many operational questions set aside uncertainty because they are supposedly difficult to either model, or solve, or both. Drawing upon several industrial applications (network planning, inventory control etc.) we will demonstrate that the state-of-the-art for including uncertainty in decision models has come a long way. We will present the case that the boom in business analytics, coupled with algorithmic advances in stochastic programming provide a unique opportunity for models that provide better support for operational decisions under uncertainty.
Biography: Suvrajeet Sen is a Professor at the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California. Until recently, he was Professor of Integrated Systems Engineering at the Ohio State University where he also served as the Director of the Center for Energy, Sustainability, and the Environment, and led the Data Driven Decisions Lab. Over the years, Professor Sen has held several positions, including stops at University of Arizona, and National Science Foundation.
Professor Sen is a Fellow of INFORMS. He has served on the editorial board of several journals, including Operations Research as Area Editor for Optimization, and as Associate Editor for INFORMS Journal on Computing, and Journal of Telecommunications Systems, and an Advisory Editor for several newer journals. Professor Sen founded the INFORMS Optimization Section.
