Molecular Computing: A New Frontier for Interdisciplinary Engineering
Mon, Apr 18, 2016 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Matthew Lakin, Professor, University of New Mexico
Talk Title: Molecular Computing: A New Frontier for Interdisciplinary Engineering
Abstract: Biological systems have evolved complex information storage and processing capabilities. These involve information-carrying DNA and RNA molecules as well as sophisticated molecular machines, such as the ribosome, that use this information to produce the proteins that drive many cellular processes. The field of molecular computing aims to achieve similarly precise, programmable control over the structure and dynamics of nanoscale computing systems, drawing on approaches from computer engineering, computer science, biology, and biochemistry. For example, a molecular computer might be designed to patrol the body, autonomously diagnosing and treating individual cells, to prevent or cure disease. In this talk I will describe my research on the design, verification, and implementation of DNA-based molecular computing architectures. I will describe my work on software tools and verification techniques as well as my work on wet lab experiments.
Biography: Matthew Lakin obtained his B.A. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge. After graduating he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Biological Computation Group at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.

AI SEMINAR
Mon, Apr 18, 2016 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Peter Fennell, Postdoc at Univ. of Limerick, Ireland
Talk Title: Information diffusion on Twitter: a hazard rates approach
Series: AI Seminar
Abstract: Online social networks provide a digital footprint of the manner in which people interact in their everyday lives. Information diffuses through online social networks as a result of users creating and sharing information, and such diffusions are highly complex because of the nature of individuals and because of the structure of the network that connects them.
In this talk, I will discuss an approach to understanding information diffusion on online social networks, with specific reference to a case study on Twitter. Here, we use hazard rates to quantify how individuals respond to information, and show the non-linear nature of the response of individuals to multiple signals from their peers. Such hazard rates can be implemented in mathematical frameworks for understanding and predictive purposes, allowing us to analyze the information diffusion and its dependence on the structure of the online social network. I will discuss the importance of empirical observations of large social network datasets in constructing mathematical models of information diffusion, and the necessity of such realistic models for both prediction and analysis.
Biography: Peter Fennell is a postdoctoral researcher in the Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics in the University of Limerick, Ireland. Peter's research focuses on diffusive processes on complex networks, and in using probabilistic frameworks to understand such processes and their interplay with the network through which they spread. Recently, Peter has been awarded a James S. McDonnell postdoctoral fellowship to further his research in the area of information diffusion on online social networks. This project will combine extensive empirical examinations of online social networks along with mathematical modeling to gain an understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind information diffusion

Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Judy Pa, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurology, Institute for Neuroimaging and Informatics Laboratory of Neuro Imaging
Talk Title: Multimodal neuroimaging to detect early neural dysfunction and measure neural enhancement in Alzheimer's disease
Abstract: Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of cognitive impairment in older adults. Over 5 million people in the US are affected and this number is expected to triple by 2050. In concert with clinical trials, identifying effective ways to detect early neural changes and to measure longitudinal change in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease is critically needed. In this presentation, I will discuss my research aimed at using multimodal neuroimaging methods to detect early changes in vulnerable brain regions important for executive function and memory and how these neural alterations affect large-scale brain networks. Ongoing studies focus on the role of regional Alzheimer's pathology using PET and network integrity using MRI and how these changes may be remediated through clinical interventions, like exercise in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Lastly, I will discuss upcoming plans to integrate new technology, equipment, and ideas to further enhance this research at USC.
Biography: Judy Pa is an assistant professor at the Institute for Neuroimaging and Informatics in the Keck School of Medicine and the department of Neurology. Judy's research is focused on identifying individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease using multimodal neuroimaging techniques, understanding how Alzheimer's pathology impacts brain function in the living brain, and developing ways to remediate cognitive and brain dysfunction using modifiable lifestyle factors, like exercise. Her research program is supported by the National Institute on Aging, Alzheimer's Association, and Springer Medical Fund.
Judy is dedicated to teaching and enjoys training and mentoring students in USC's Neuroscience Graduate Program, Keck School of Medicine, and new Neuroimaging and Informatics Masters of Science program.

CS Colloquium: Julia Rubin (MIT CSAIL) -The Secret Life of Mobile Applications
Mon, Apr 18, 2016 @ 02:00 PM - 03:15 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Julia Rubin, MIT CSAIL
Talk Title: The Secret Life of Mobile Applications
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Computer Science Research Colloquium
As software becomes increasingly more complex and yet more pervasive, poor understanding of software behavior compromises the quality and the integrity of software systems that we use. In this talk, I will show that automated analysis techniques can help to identify and reason about software behavior characteristics that matter to humans. After a brief overview of my current research directions, I will focus on techniques for identifying privacy violations in mobile applications, i.e., leakages of sensitive information such as user location and shopping preferences. I will present a set of solutions that rely on contextual, functional and usage-based clues for improving the accuracy of leakage detection and for distinguishing between "legitimate" and "illegitimate" information distribution patterns.
Biography: Julia Rubin is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the EECS department at MIT. Prior to that, she was a Research Staff Member and, part of the time, a manager at IBM Research in Haifa, Israel. She received her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, Canada in 2014. Julia's research interests are in software engineering, program analysis and software security, focusing on improving the quality and the integrity of modern software systems. Her recent work in this area won an ACM Distinguished Paper Award at ASE, two Best Paper Awards, at SPLC and CSMR, and was nominated for Facebook's Internet Defense Prize at the USENIX Security Symposium.

EE 598 Cyber-Physical Systems Seminar Series

Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Walid Saad, Assistant Professor, Virginia Tech
Talk Title: Behavioral Game Theory in Cyber-Physical Systems: Frameworks and Applications
Abstract: Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are characterized by three key features: heterogeneity, in terms of technology, services, and human interactions, dynamics, in terms of rapidly varying environments and uncertainty at both the cyber and physical realms, and size, in terms of number of users, devices, and services. These characteristics motivate the need for distributed optimization and control solutions that can lay the foundations of smart and secure CPSs. In this respect, game theory is expected to play a critical role towards deploying such intelligent CPSs in which cyber-physical devices, and possibly humans, can make independent and strategic decisions, smartly adapting to their environment. In particular, the presence of humans in the CPS loop motivates the adoption of game-theoretic methods that go beyond classical game theory in which agents are assumed to be objective, fully rational, and uninfluenced by real-world perceptions. Capturing such practical CPS considerations within game-theoretic constructs can be achieved via suitable notions of bounded rationality and behavioral considerations. In this talk, we will investigate the role of behavioral game theory in CPS design while delineating emerging frameworks in that field with a focus on two key CPS domains: (i)- Consumer-centric energy management in the smart grid and (ii)- Cyber-physical systems security. We conclude the talk by discussing other ongoing research activities in our group.

Talk Title: Hematopoietic stem cell function in stress, disease and aging
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: Our research focuses on understanding the general defense mechanisms used by hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to protect blood production during the lifetime of an ever-changing organism. This fundamental question is central to tissue maintenance and regeneration, and has implications for every aspect of adult physiology ranging from response to stress, development of diseases and biology of aging. Our laboratory is interested in identifying the mechanisms controlling HSC activity in normal and stress conditions, and in understanding how they are affected during disease development and in physiological aging. Our goal is to identify affected genes and pathways that could be used to develop new therapies to treat human diseases and help combat aging.

Speaker: Dr. Vijay Gupta, University of Notre Dame
Talk Title: Cyber-Physical-Human Systems: Results and Challenges
Series: CommNetS
Abstract: Advances in networking and information technology have permitted us to integrate cyber and physical components to design complex systems in fields as diverse as critical infrastructure control, automotive systems, energy conservation, environmental monitoring, and robotics. As we aim to endow such systems with higher levels of autonomy, we have to consider explicitly their interaction with people at multiple layers and in various roles. It is increasingly clear that one of the next frontiers for autonomous systems is to be able to design such cyber-physical-human systems in a systematic and scalable manner. This will naturally require integration of models, tools, constraints and techniques from the individual disciplines. I will cover some examples from our recent work that illustrate this theme. I will begin with the problem of phantom demand response in smart grid which arises when strategic customers seek to maximize their gain by anticipating the control signals that will be used. Then, I will present our recent work on cyber-physical system security that considers malicious intruders seeking to attack the physical system through hijacking the cyber components. Finally, I will show how extending some classical control tools such as passivity and dissipativity to consider cyber components explicitly can help guarantee properties such as composability that are desirable in complex systems. I will finish with some thoughts on challenges that face us in the design of cyber-physical-human systems.
Biography: Vijay Gupta is the College of Engineering Collegiate Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, having joined the faculty in January 2008.

Ultrafast & Broadband Photonic Signal Processing
Thu, Apr 21, 2016 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Andrew M. Weiner, Purdue University
Talk Title: Ultrafast & Broadband Photonic Signal Processing
Abstract: Lasers capable of generating picosecond and femtosecond pulses of light are now firmly established and widely deployed. Going beyond simple pulse generation, the programmable shaping of ultrafast laser fields into arbitrary waveforms has resulted in substantial impact, both enabling new ultrafast science and contributing to applications in high-speed signal transmission. The lecture begins with an introduction to methods permitting shaping of ultrafast laser fields on time scales too fast for direct electronic control. Recent research areas in the Purdue University Ultrafast Optics and Fiber Communications Laboratory drawing on ultrafast pulse shaping are then reviewed. I first discuss photonically-assisted radio-frequency arbitrary waveform generation with application to spatial and temporal focusing of ultrabroadband wireless signals distorted by antennas or multiply scattering indoor propagation environments. In a second example, I describe recent experiments in which pulse shaping is applied in the regime of quantum optics to manipulate the wave packets of correlated photon pairs. A final example pertains to broadband optical frequency comb fields generated via nonlinear wave mixing in chip-scale microresonators pumped by a single-frequency laser. Line-by-line shaping of such fields permits compression into high repetition rate femtosecond pulse trains and furnishes insight into their coherence.
Biography: Andrew Weiner is the Scifres Family Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. In 2008 he was elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering and in 2009 was named a Department of Defense National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellow. Weiner has served a three year term as Chair of the National Academy's U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Meeting; at present he serves as Editor-in-chief of Optics Express, an all-electronic, open access journal publishing more than 3000 papers a year emphasizing innovations in all aspects of optics and photonics. After Prof. Weiner earned his Sc.D. in electrical engineering in 1984 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he joined Bellcore, at that time a premier telecommunications industry research organization, first as Member of Technical Staff and later as Manager of Ultrafast Optics and Optical Signal Processing Research. He joined Purdue as Professor in 1992, and has since graduated over 35 Ph.D. students. Prof. Weiner has also spent sabbaticals at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Ultrashort Pulse Spectroscopy, Berlin, Germany and at JILA, University of Colorado and National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado.
Prof. Weiner's research focuses on ultrafast optics, with a focus on processing of extremely high speed lightwave signals and ultrabroadband radio-frequency signals. He is especially well known for his pioneering work on programmable generation of arbitrary ultrashort pulse waveforms, which has found application both in fiber optic networks and in ultrafast optical science laboratories around the world.
Prof. Weiner is author of a textbook entitled Ultrafast Optics, has published eight book chapters, over 300 journal articles, and over 500 conference papers, and is inventor of 18 U.S. patents. His numerous awards include the Hertz Foundation Doctoral Thesis Prize (1984), the Optical Society of America's Adolph Lomb Medal (1990) and R.W. Wood Prize (2008), the International Commission on Optics Prize (1997), and the IEEE Photonics Society's William Streifer Scientific Achievement Award (1999) and Quantum Electronics Prize (2011). At Purdue he has been recognized with the inaugural Research Excellence Award from the Schools of Engineering (2003), the Provost's Outstanding Graduate Student Mentor Award (2008), the Herbert Newby McCoy Award for outstanding contributions on the natural sciences (2013), and the College of Engineering Mentoring Award (2014).

Speaker: Matthew Melis, NASA Glenn Research Center
Talk Title: Lessons from Columbia A Decade Later
Abstract: Matt Melis provides a detailed look into the inner workings of the Space Shuttle and a behind the scenes perspective on the impact analysis and testing done for the Columbia Accident Investigation and NASA's Return to Flight programs. His presentation is full of rich, still and motion picture imagery, and, although technical, is easily understood by all audiences. In addition, highlights from recent Shuttle missions are presented demonstrating how NASA conducted its operations differently and more safely, post Columbia, through better imagery, better analysis, and enhanced best practices.
Biography: Matt received both a BS in Civil Engineering and an MS in Engineering Mechanics from Michigan State University and has worked at the NASA Glenn Research Center for thirty two years. His primary area of focus is in advanced finite element modeling and analysis methods including nonlinear and dynamic impact loading. Trained in engineering mechanics, he has been recognized for expertise in actively cooled structures, stress analysis, ballistic impact research, and multi physics analysis during his tenure at the Research Center. He has worked on numerous aeronautics and space programs for the agency including the International Space Station, the Space Shuttle, and NASA's Exploration Program. In the four and one half years that followed the Columbia accident, Matt was assigned full time to working the Columbia Accident Investigation and the Shuttle Return to Flight Program as technical lead of the NASA Glenn Ballistic Impact team. Most recent Matt has worked on landing impact testing of various design concepts for the Orion crew module and is currently a program sub-element lead for a cryogenic fluid management program at NASA Glenn.
