Talk Title: Towards Advancing Health with Flexible Multi-Functional Electronics and Efficient Inference Architectures

Series: Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series

Abstract: Dr. Coleman will discuss his research group's efforts in developing flexible multi-functional electronics and scalable inference tools to provide vulnerability profiles and decision support tools for improved clinical decision-making. The advancement of wearable, "tattoo-like" flexible electronics will be discussed, with an emphasis on new fabrication approaches compatible with scalable industry-adopted fabrication methods. Dr. Coleman will also introduce novel inference and decision support methods, which lie at the intersection of statistics, optimization theory, and large scale computing. These algorithms, which build upon the theory of optimal transport and Bayesian inference, will be demonstrated both in the cloud and in energy-efficient integrated circuit architectures. Dr. Coleman will emphasize the importance of transforming "big data" into "small, relevant" data for improvised decision making. Example partnership with clinicians on these endeavors will be provided within the context of perinatal health and chronic disease management. Throughout the talk, Dr. Coleman will emphasize the inter-disciplinary nature of this research, involving researchers from applied mathematics to electrical engineering to bioengineering to medicine.
