Medical Imaging Seminar Series
Tue, Nov 20, 2012 @ 01:45 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Nicole Sieberlich, Case Western Reserve University
Talk Title: "Novel Non-Cartesian Parallel Imaging Techniques for Rapid MRIâ
Abstract: Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an increasingly powerful tool for medical imaging, but it still suffers from long data acquisition times, especially for rapid dynamic imaging. My group seeks to shorten MRI scan times by combining two powerful acceleration techniques, namely parallel imaging and non-Cartesian imaging. The resulting method, through-time non-Cartesian GRAPPA, can be used to achieve acceleration factors of greater than R=10 for dynamic imaging. This technique is able to accelerate MR acquisitions for many applications; cardiac and abdominal images will be shown to demonstrate the power of through-time non-Cartesian GRAPPA.
Biography: Nicole Seiberlich is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. The primary focus of her research is fast MRI, with special emphasis on cardiac imaging using parallel imaging combined with non-Cartesian trajectories. Dr. Seiberlich graduated from Yale University with a BS in Chemistry in 2001, and after working as a financial services consultant in New York and Germany for several years, received her PhD from the Department of Experimental Physics of the University of Wuerzburg in 2008.

Epstein Institute / ISE 651 Seminar Series
Tue, Nov 20, 2012 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Ram D. Sriram, Chief, Software and Systems Division, Information Technology Laboratory, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD
Talk Title: "Smart Networked Systems and Societies: Research Challenges"
Series: Epstein Institute Seminar Series
Abstract: We are witnessing a new revolution in computing and communication. The Internet, which has spanned several networks in a wide variety of domains, is having a significant impact on every aspect of our lives. The next generation of networks will utilize a wide variety of resources with significant sensing capabilities. Such networks will extend beyond physically linked computers to included multimodal information from biological, cognitive, semantic, and social networks. This paradigm shift will involve symbiotic networks of people (social networks), intelligent devices, and mobile personalcomputing and communication devices (mPCDs), that will form smart networked systems and societies (SNSS) or cyber-physical social systems (CPSS). mPCDs are already equipped with myriad sensors, with regular updates of additional sensing capabilities. Additionally, we are witnessing the emergence of âintelligent devices,â such as smart meters, smart cars, etc., with considerable sensing and networking capabilities. Hence, these devices â and the network -- will be constantly sensing, monitoring, and interpreting the environment; this is sometimes referred to as the Internet of Things (IOT). The symbiosis of IOT and social networks will have significant implications for both the market for advanced computing and communication infrastructure and the future markets â for nearly 4.5 billion people -- that SNSS will create. In this work, I will discuss the research challenges for SNSS with a specific focus on smart healthcare.
Biography: Ram D. Sriram is currently the chief of the Software and Systems Division, Information Technology Laboratory, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Before joining the Software and Systems Division, Sriram was the leader of the Design and Process group in the Manufacturing Systems Integration Division, Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, where he conducted research on standards for interoperability of computer-aided design systems. He was also the manager of the Sustainable Manufacturing Program. Prior to joining NIST, he was on the engineering faculty (1986-1994) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was instrumental in setting up the Intelligent Engineering Systems Laboratory. Sriram has co-authored or authored nearly 250 publications, including several books. Sriram was a founding co-editor of the International Journal for AI in Engineering. In 1989, he was awarded a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation. In 2011, Sriram received the ASME Design Automation Award for his work on computer-supported collaborative design. Sriram is a Fellow of ASME and AAAS, a member (life) of ACM, a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a member (life) of AAAI. Sriram has a B.Tech. from IIT, Madras, India, and an M.S. and a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA.
