California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) Roadshow
Thu, Sep 22, 2016 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Various, California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM)
Talk Title: Various
Abstract: In December of 2015, the CIRM Board unanimously adopted a bold new strategic plan that seeks to make the most out of the Institute's remaining time and resources. CIRM 2.0, as we call it, is intended to more effectively drive our mission of accelerating stem cell treatments to patients with unmet medical needs. But to be successful, we need you.
We have a little over four years left to make new awards under our current funding paradigm, and if we work diligently, we can accomplish a lot. Imagine 50 new therapeutics candidates discovered under our early stage programs. Or reducing by half the time it takes to move the next great idea through translation into the clinic. And of course, conducting these new clinical trials - all 50 of them! CIRM 2.0 has programs that cover all of it - from the earliest stage seed funding through advanced clinical research. And we want to make sure that you know how to get the most out of it.
As part of our CIRM Roadshow, we are holding a series of meetings throughout the state, in order to re-introduce you to CIRM and what this radical new stemcelerating machine can do. Please join us for a more in-depth look at CIRM 2.0 this fall.
Over these next four years, we will make approximately $700 million in new awards to advance stem cell research and development. It is both a tremendous opportunity and responsibility. Come join us, and be part of the team that is making stem cell history.
CIRM Speakers:
Randy Mills, CIRM President and CEO: CIRM 2.0 Overview and Goals
Pat Olson, VP Translation and Discovery: Funding Early Stage Work
Maria Millan, VP Therapeutics: Funding Clinical Trials
Gil Sambrano, Director of Portfolio Development and Review: Who is Eligible and How to Apply
James Harrison, CIRM General Counsel: California vs. Non-California Applicants, How Our Funding Works for You
Gabe Thompson, Director of Grants Management: What Happens After You Are Approved for Funding
Neil Littman, Director of Business Development and Strategic Infrastructure: How Our Translating and Accelerating Centers and the Alpha Stem Cell Clinic Network Can Help You Succeed
Host: California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM)

EE 598 Computer Engineering Seminar
Thu, Sep 22, 2016 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Rajeev Alur, Professor, University of Pennsylvania
Talk Title: Quantitative Policies over Streaming Data
Abstract: Decision making in cyber-physical systems often requires dynamic monitoring of a data stream to compute performance-related quantitative properties. We propose StreamQRE as a high-level declarative language for modular specifications of such quantitative policies. This language is rooted in the emerging theory of regular functions, and every policy described in this language can be compiled into a space-efficient streaming implementation. We describe a prototype system that is integrated within an SDN controller and show how it can be used to specify and enforce dynamic updates for traffic engineering as well as in response to security threats. We conclude by outlining the rich opportunities for both theoretical investigations and practical systems for real-time decision making in IoT applications.
This talk is based on recent and ongoing work with Penn researchers Dana Fisman, Sanjeev Khanna, Boon Thau Loo, Kostas Mamouras, Mukund Raghothaman, and Yifei Yuan.
Biography: Rajeev Alur is Zisman Family Professor of Computer and Information Science at University of Pennsylvania. He obtained his bachelor's degree in computer science from IIT Kanpur in 1987 and PhD in computer science from Stanford University in 1991. Before joining Penn in 1997, he was with Computing Science Research Center at Bell Labs. His research is focused on formal methods for system design, and spans theoretical computer science, software verification and synthesis, and cyber-physical systems. He is a Fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of the IEEE, an Alfred P. Sloan Faculty Fellow, and a Simons Investigator. He was awarded the inaugural CAV (Computer-Aided Verification) award in 2008, ACM/IEEE Logic in Computer Science (LICS) Test-of-Time award in 2010 and the inaugural Alonzo Church award by ACM SIGLOG / EATCS / EACSL in 2016 for his work on timed automata. Prof. Alur has served as the chair of ACM SIGBED (Special Interest Group on Embedded Systems), and as the general chair of LICS. He is the author of the textbook Principles of Cyber-Physical Systems (MIT Press, 2015), and is currently the lead PI of the NSF Expeditions in Computing center ExCAPE (Expeditions in Computer Augmented Program Engineering).
