ECE Seminar: Technology development for functional and morphological imaging of the middle and inner ear
Tue, Sep 24, 2024 @ 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Brian E. Applegate, Professor of Otolaryngology-“Head & Neck Surgery, Ophthalmology, and Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California
Talk Title: Technology development for functional and morphological imaging of the middle and inner ear
Abstract: Over the past decade we have been developing Optical Coherence Tomography and Vibrometry (OCTV) to measure the detailed morphology and vibratory response of the ear. With micron scale spatial resolution and subnanometer sensitivity to vibration it is well suited to measuring the spatially resolved vibratory response of both the inner and middle ear. In small animals, it is possible to image directly through the bone of the otic capsule for noninvasive spatially resolved vibrometry of the cochlear partition. In humans as well as small animals, it’s possible to image the tympanic membrane and ossicles through the ear canal to reveal the vibratory response of the middle ear. Nominally, this approach allows for the measure of vibratory response along the light path of the instrument, hence 1-D. In recent work we have developed a system that incorporates 3 separate sample arms in a single interferometer. This allows us to reconstruct the full 3-D vector of motion. We have also begun translating OCTV for use in humans with the development of hand-held and surgical microscope mounted devices which can be used in the clinic and OR. The seminar will be split between these two projects, outlining the technical design and discussing recent results for each.
Biography: Dr. Applegate is a Professor of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, Ophthalmology, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from The Ohio State University. He won a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellowship grant to continue his training at Duke University in biomedical engineering. Upon completing his fellowship, he joined the faculty of Texas A&M University where he worked for 12 years advancing to the rank of Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering. He moved to the University of Southern California in 2019 where he joined his longtime collaborator to continue their work on functional imaging of the ear. Throughout his career, his research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, including the NSF Career award, the Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health. He has served on numerous study sections at the National Institutes of Health including a term on Imaging Guided Interventions and Surgery [IGIS]. He has served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and Optics Letters. He has been elected a fellow of Optica and SPIE. His research interests are broadly to develop novel biophotonic technologies and apply them to the diagnosis and monitoring of human disease.

MFD Distinguished Lecture Series: Dr. Albert Musaelian
Tue, Sep 24, 2024 @ 04:00 PM - 05:20 PM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Albert Musaelian, Harvard University
Talk Title: Designing Neural Network Architectures for Effective Scientific Computing
Abstract: Machine learning models hold significant potential to accelerate and enhance scientific computing. A prominent example is the development of machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs), which address the trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost in atomic-scale simulations of chemical and material systems. These models have been successfully applied to simulations of systems ranging from batteries to pharmaceuticals—simulations that would have been infeasible without machine-learning techniques.
This talk will cover the background of MLIPs and their machine learning aspects, with a focus on the “E(3)-equivariant” neural network MLIP architectures, NequIP and Allegro, developed to exploit the symmetries inherent in the physical problems. The presentation will explore their architecture, the design process, and the relationship between network architecture, domain science, and practical engineering, which together enable new capabilities for downstream scientific applications.
Biography: Albert Musaelian researches novel neural network architectures that can improve atomic-scale simulations in computational chemistry and materials science, in particular leading significant work on the NequIP and Allegro architectures and the software frameworks underlying them. He completed his PhD at Harvard University in the Materials Intelligence Research (MIR) group under the guidance of Prof. Boris Kozinsky and with the support of the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (CSGF).

PhD Thesis Proposal - Jesse Zhang
Tue, Sep 24, 2024 @ 05:00 PM - 06:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
University Calendar
Title: Scalable Robot Adaptation with Large Pre-trained Models
Date and Time: 09/24/24 - 5:00p - 6:00p
Location: RTH 114
Committee Members: Erdem Biyik, Jesse Thomason, Joseph Lim, Daniel Seita, Somil Basil
Abstract: General robots deployed in the real world need to respond to dynamic environments and constantly learn new tasks. However, current approaches lack the ability to enable them to adapt to these ever-changing environments and tasks at scale, i.e., without extensive human supervision. My thesis proposal aims to tackle this problem by utilizing vast general knowledge stored in Large Pre-trained Models (LPTMs) to enable scalable and efficient robot adaptation. I will cover 3 fundamental paradigms in enabling robot adaptation: using LPTMs to (1) label offline data, (2) guide robots in learning new tasks online, and finally (3) adapt to new agent settings. Through extensive research in the first two paradigms and future thesis work proposed in the third, my proposal aims to produce general algorithms that will lead to robots mastering new tasks in unfamiliar environments with little human supervision.Location: Ronald Tutor Hall of Engineering (RTH) - 114
