Polymers for Bionanotechnology
Mon, Nov 27, 2006 @ 11:00 AM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Graduate Seminar
"Polymers for Bionanotechnology."Dr. Karen Christman
Postdoctoral Scholar
University of California at Los AngelesAbstract
Over the past few decades, techniques to produce submicron and
nanoscale features on surfaces have emerged. While such advances
were initially applied to the electronics field, the fusion of biology and
nanotechnology has begun to provide useful tools for biosensors,
biomaterials, and tissue engineering applications. The ability to
spatially orient and anchor proteins in particular affords many
opportunities for biotechnology and medicine. Site-specifically
immobilizing proteins, forming protein assemblies, and fabricating threedimensional
biological nanostructures using various polymers and
lithography techniques will be discussed.Monday, November 27, 2006
Seminar at 11:00 a.m.

Loop Calculus in Statistical Physics and Information Theory
Mon, Nov 27, 2006 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
SPEAKER: Dr. Michael Chertkov, Los Alamos National LaboratoryABSTRACT: In this talk I describe loop calculus. This recently developed theoretical tool allows to express partition function of a statistical inference physics problem on a graph in terms of a series, where each term is associated with a loop on the graph. Utility of the loop calculus for analysis of modern (Low-Density-Parity-Check) error-correction codes, and also for improving decoding, is demonstrated.Bio: Chertkov's areas of interest include theoretical physics and non-equilibrium statistical physics applied to error-correction (information) theory, turbulence (statistical hydrodynamics) and statistical and nonlinear optics.Chertkov received his Ph.D. in physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1996, and his M.Sc. from Novosibirsk State University in 1990. After his Ph.D., Chertkov spent three years at Princeton University as the R.H. Dicke Fellow in the Department of Physics. He joined Los Alamos National Lab in 1999, initially as the J.R. Oppenheimer Fellow in the Theoretical Division. In 2002, he became a full-term technical staff member in the same division at LANL.Host: Prof. Keith Chugg, chugg@usc.edu
