USC Stem Cell Seminar: Bruno Peault, UCLA and MRC Center for Regenerative Medicine
Wed, Nov 11, 2015 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Bruno Peault, Professor/UCLA and MRC Center for Regenerative Medicine
Talk Title: What is a mesenchymal stem cell, and why does it matter?
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been the most commonly used cells for tissue repair and engineering, and the focus of over 500 clinical trials. Paradoxically, MSCs have also been the least characterized regenerative cells in terms of native identity, innate tissue distribution and natural function, owing to their exclusive derivation in long-term culture. We have recently prospectively identified and clinically validated innate MSCs as ubiquitous perivascular cells. We will present the phenotype and multiple potentials deployed by native MSCs to mediate tissue regeneration, and discuss the rationale for using purified perivascular cells in place of conventional culture derived MSCs for cell therapies.

Communications, Networks & Systems (CommNetS) Seminar
Wed, Nov 11, 2015 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Saurabh Amin, MIT
Talk Title: Resilient Monitoring and Control of Distribution Networks
Series: CommNetS
Abstract: This talk will focus on the analysis of attacker-defender interactions on distribution networks (DNs) using game-theoretic tools. Two attack models will be considered: (i) manipulation of distributed generation (DG) nodes in electricity distribution networks to induce sudden supply-demand mismatch; (ii) strategic disruption of network links in urban water networks to increase non-technical losses. In the first model, the defender responds to the adversary's action by imposing both DG control and partial load control at the uncompromised nodes under nonlinear power flow constraints. In the second model, the defender strategically chooses an optimal network sensing strategy to maximize detection performance under the sensors' constraints on the range of detection. Full characterization of equilibrium strategies will be presented for each model of attacker-defender interaction. The equilibrium strategies provide practical recommendations for improving the resilience of network monitoring and control tools in the face of strategic attacks.
Biography: Saurabh Amin is Robert N. Noyce Career Development Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research focuses on the design and implementation of high confidence network control algorithms for infrastructure systems. He works on robust diagnostics and control problems that involve using networked systems to facilitate the monitoring and control of large-scale critical infrastructures, including transportation, water, and energy distribution systems. He also studies the effect of security attacks and random faults on the survivability of networked systems, and designs incentive-compatible control mechanisms to reduce network risks. Dr. Amin received his Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2011. He is a recipient of NSF CAREER award, and Google Faculty Research award.

Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series
Wed, Nov 11, 2015 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Ahmed Ghoniem, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Talk Title: Combustion for Clean Energy: From Low Emissions to Low CO2
Series: Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series
Abstract: The World's energy consumption is growing rapidly. Hydrocarbons will remain the major primary energy source for many decades, prompting concerns over CO2 and its climate impact. Near-term strategies, including higher conversion and utilization efficiency, CO2 capture and expanding renewables should be pursued vigorously. Combustion research must contribute aggressively towards these goals, including work on gas-phase oxy-combustion, membrane-supported thermochemistry and chemical looping combustion. The latter options reduce the energy penalty in oxygen production, but need special catalytic surfaces, device design and system integration. I will review some of our recent work addressing these challenges. Premixed oxy-fuel combustion offers significant advantages, including retrofit, but experiences similar dynamics and instabilities to air combustion. I will cover our recent experimental and numerical work on the subject, some of the fundamental similarities and difference between the two processes and how progress in turbulent combustion and kinetics will enable better implementation of this promising technology.
Biography: Ahmed F. Ghoniem is the Ronald C Crane Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT, and the director of the Center for Energy and Propulsion Research and the Reacting Gas Dynamics Laboratory. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Cairo University, and Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests include computational engineering; combustion and thermochemistry; CO2 capture and reuse (oxy-combustion, membrane separation and chemical looping) and fuel production from renewable sources. He has supervised more than 100 post-doctors and graduate students; published more than 330 refereed articles in leading journals and international conferences; and lectured extensively around the World. He is Fellow of ASME and associate fellow of AIAA.
