Aviation Safety Management Systems ASMS 24-4
Fri, Apr 19, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
A Safety Management System (SMS) is now required for international commercial aircraft operators, airports, and air traffic services. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the standards and implementing procedures for SMS. All 191 countries that are members of ICAO have established or are establishing regulatory requirements for the implementation of SMS. This course teaches how organizations can establish an SMS within the context of their current safety system that meets the basic international standards of ICAO. The SMS Framework serves as a central foundation for this course. SMS is a safety system by which an organization takes a more active role in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating safety issues that occur in the normal operation of their organization. SMS requires that organizational management take responsibility for the company’s safety program. The SMS approach requires the safety/quality team to be educated in their duties and responsibilities. This course will give you the essential skills to manage an organizational Safety Management System (SMS). The attendee will be able to manage a Safety Management System that includes risk management, audits, data collection, analysis, and incident investigations. This course is designed for the individual planning or directing an aviation Safety Management System program. Fundamentals in systems organization and structure provide the individual with the skills and methodology to plan and manage an effective program. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles of risk management, identifying program development strategies, audits, and applying the knowledge toward effective management systems and interoperability with Quality Assurance.

Data for Safety Management DATA 24-2
Fri, Apr 19, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
The analysis of digital flight data collected from actual flights has resulted in tremendous steps forward in aviation safety. It is no longer necessary for an accident or incident to occur in order for safety hazards to be revealed. Flight Data Analysis provides critical safety information to identify trends, issues, and potentially dangerous practices. All modern commercial and business jet aircraft are equipped with flight data recorders that serve as the initial collection devices for flight data analysis. This course will present the basics of flight data analysis based on real-time flight information. It will present opportunities to analyze collective flight data as would be utilized by a commercial aircraft operator. The course will present animation software that depicts flight profiles and examines other sources of data, including video and air traffic control data, that may be used to create a data-based safety case.
Location: Century Boulevard Building (CBB) - 920

USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Michael Chertoff and others,
Talk Title: CREATE's Work in the Context of Future Threats to Homeland Security
Abstract: CREATE’s 20th Anniversary Symposium commemorates the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security’s first University Center of Excellence in 2004. Over the last two decades, CREATE has served our nation through creation of advanced models and tools for the evaluation of the risks, costs and consequences of threats to human livelihood and through assessment of strategies to mitigate risks and respond to emergencies.The symposium will discuss CREATE’s work in the context of future threats to homeland security, including terrorism, climate induced disasters, pandemics, and threats to infrastructure and supply chains. Event begins at 9:45AM. RSVP is required to attend. If you would like to attend, please contact Jeff Countryman at jcountry@usc.edu.
Host: Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Threats and Emergencies

AI in Structural Biology: Roots of Success
Fri, Apr 19, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Helen Berman, USC
Talk Title: AI in Structural Biology: Roots of Success
Abstract: The successful prediction of protein structures competitive with experimentally determined models was announced in 2020. The achievement by by AlphaFold 2 using AI methods was the culmination of years of effort to solve the protein folding problem. In this talk I will describe the history of this effort and the unique characteristics of the training data that were derived from the Protein Data Bank. I will also discuss how this breakthrough will open the doors to new research in structural and cell biology.
Zoom meeting ID: 944 0958 4905Passcode: 822247
It will be posted on our USC/ISI YouTube page within 1-2 business days: https://www.youtube.com/user/USCISI.
Biography: Dr. Berman received her AB from Barnard College in 1964. She trained in crystallography with George Jeffrey at the University of Pittsburgh where she received her Ph.D. in 1967. After her postdoctoral training, she went to the Institute for Cancer Research, Fox Chase Cancer Center where she rose through the ranks from Research Associate to Senior Member. In 1989, she joined the faculty of Rutgers University and is currently a Board of Governors Distinguished Professor Emerita of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. She is also an Research Professor at the University of Southern California. Her research has focused on nucleic acids, protein-nucleic acid interactions, and collagen. She has published more than 300 scholarly articles.
Helen was a co-founder of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive that was launched in 1971 and has been committed to the continued development and maintenance of this community resource. Major accomplishments on this journey include taking leadership roles in establishing the Nucleic Acid Database, the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank, the worldwide Protein Data Bank, the Structural Biology Knowledgebase, and the Unified Data Resource for 3D Electron Microscopy.
She is also working on ways to use film and digital arts to communicate to a broader audience about the importance of structural biology in medicine and health. She was the Executive Producer of Target Zero – a documentary about HIV prevention in which high-quality molecular animations illustrate how the anti-HIV drugs work. As part of ongoing collaborations between the USC Bridge Institute and USC School of Cinematic Arts, she is working on the World in a Cell VR experience that provides a view of the inside of a pancreatic beta cell.
Helen is a member of the National Academy of Science, the American Academy for Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of the Biophysical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Crystallographic Association, and the International Society for Computational Biology.
