DANIEL J. EPSTEIN DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING ISE 650 SEMINAR "Low-order Models of Fish Swimming"Dr. Eva KansoAssistant Professor, USC Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering DepartmentABSTRACT: We consider the motion of solid bodies in a perfect fluid. The main motivation is to study the effect of the hydrodynamic coupling on the motion of the submerged solids and gain insight into the role of this coupling in aquatic locomotion.WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2007, KAPRIELIAN HALL (KAP) 158, 3:30-4:30 PMBIO: Eva Kanso is an assistant professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at USC. Before joining USC in Fall 2005, she held a two-year postdoctoral position at Caltech. She received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2003. While at Berkeley, she also earned masters degrees in Mechanical Engineering (1999) and in Mathematics (2002).

Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
Eberhardt Rechtin Inaugural Keynote Lecture"Industrial Engineering in the 21st Century: Challenges and Opportunities"Dr. Louis Martin-VegaDean, College of Engineering,
North Carolina State University, and
President, Institute of Industrial EngineersIndustrial Engineers should be rightly proud of the many contributions that the field has made to the solution of a host of significant economic, industrial and societal problems in the 20th century. Nonetheless, the growth of industrial engineering and its continued relevance in the 21st century will require major paradigm shifts both in its academic and professional orientation. This lecture will discuss a number of challenges and opportunities faced by our profession as we move quickly into this new century. Thursday, September 27, 2007,

The Beyond-ASCII Internet
Thu, Sep 27, 2007 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
University Calendar
For much of its history the Internet has been based on the Latin alphabet and its ASCII digital representation. Tina Dam of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will explain an ongoing effort aimed expanding this universe a creating new Internet realms, or top level domains, that use non-Latin/ASCII writing systems and open significant possibilities for communities worldwide to express themselves in their own languageOn 14 August 2007, the ICANN Board of Directors approved representing the word 'test' translated into: Arabic, Persian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Japanese and Tamil. The technical evaluations of these "internationalized domain name top level domains" (ISD TLD) and their usability in various applications will proceed following their delegation. If the evaluation is successful, the introduction will pave the way for the launch of new TLDs in 2008. Dam's presentation will explore the effort, and show how commonly used browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera) function in these environments. IDN director Tina Dam was appointed Director for ICANN's IDN Program in 2006. In this capacity she develops and manages all IDN related projects at ICANN focused at the deployment of internationalized top level domains.

Engineering Living Tissue Substitutes: A Design and Manufacturing Perspective

DANIEL J. EPSTEIN DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING - ISE 650 SEMINAR"Engineering Living Tissue Substitutes: A Design and Manufacturing Perspective"Binil Starly, Ph.D.Assistant Professor, School of Industrial Engineering, University of Oklahoma, NormanABSTRACT: The multidisciplinary field of tissue engineering brings together the disciplines of life sciences and engineering which seeks to produce man made substitutes for diseased tissue/organ replacement. To aid engineers in their quest to biomimic tissue and organ morphology, Computer-Aided Tissue Engineering presents itself as a systematic engineering methodology which applies enabling computer-aided technologies for representing, modeling, designing, and manufacturing engineered tissue structures. A central design component in tissue engineering is the use of scaffolds/constructs that provides a structural framework for target cells to attach, grow and proliferate to provide the required tissue function. Scaffolds with designed interior pore architecture, defined porosity and an interconnected predetermined nutrition network has been the most favored design approach. To create these scaffolds/constructs, Solid Freeform Fabrication technologies have enabled precise control over architecture, biomaterial distribution and fabrication of living cellular constructs. The presentation will address 1) BioCAD modeling techniques for patient specific constructs; 2) Design of macro and micro-architecture of tissue substitutes; 3) Biofabrication technologies; 5) Future research directions to the advancement of biomodeling and tissue manufacturing.FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2007, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, ANDRUS GERONTOLOGY (GER) 309BIOGRAPHY: Binil Starly is currently appointed as an Assistant Professor in the School of Industrial Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, Norman. Binil received his B.Tech. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kerala, India, and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA in 2006. Binil has published over 14 journal publications and have 2 patents pending in the field of scaffold design and fabrication for tissue engineering applications. He has received awards as part of his graduate studies that include the Graduate Research Award, Outstanding Service Award and the '2006 Most Likely to Enhance Drexel's Reputation' award. He is currently the faculty advisor of the Laboratory for Engineering Living Tissue Systems engaged in the design, real time quantitative analysis and fabrication of three dimensional (3D) tissue constructs for applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and drug screening studies. His research and education interests include Computer-Aided Tissue Engineering, Biomechanical Engineering, Design and Manufacturing, CAD/CAE/CAM, Solid Freeform Fabrication, Tissue-on-chip systems and Construct Embedded Sensors.
