Talk Title: Convex Optimization
Series: Cyber-Physical Systems Joint Seminar Series
Abstract: Convex optimization has emerged as useful tool for applications that includedata analysis and model fitting, resource allocation, engineering design, network design and optimization, finance, and control and signal processing. After an overview of the mathematics, algorithms, and software frameworks for convex optimization, we turn to common theme that arise across applications, such as sparsity and relaxation. We describe recent work on real-time embedded convex optimization, in which small problems are solved repeatedly in millisecond or microsecond time frames, and large-scale distributed convex optimization, in which many solvers are coordinated to solve enormous problems.

Speaker: Professor Jason R. Trelewicz, Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering. Stony Brook University
Talk Title: Controlling the Stability and Radiation Tolerance of Nanocrystalline Alloys
Abstract: Stable nanocrystalline phases leveraging grain boundary segregation are being realized in a myriad of alloy systems and driving advances in the design of bulk nanocrystalline materials. However, augmenting the chemical state of the grain boundaries for stabilization purposes can also have marked impacts on their structure and in turn, the performance of the material in extreme environments. In this presentation, we explore nanoscale grain boundary engineering approaches for the design of tungsten as a plasma facing material for fusion reactors. Dopant species and concentrations are first identified through lattice Monte Carlo modeling and used to guide powder metallurgy synthesis of ternary nanocrystalline tungsten alloys. Through synchrotron x-ray diffraction and small angle x-ray scattering experiments, we select optimized alloy chemistries containing nanoscale compositional heterogeneities for enhanced stability and sinterability. In light of these results, we then probe the effect of grain boundary doping on the coupling between microstructural evolution and irradiation damage state using in situ heavy ion irradiation experiments. Defect evolution is mapped up to 20 dpa and bridged to high-dose stability using ex situ experiments up to 400 dpa. The addition of grain boundary dopants is shown to stabilize the nano-alloy against irradiation induced grain growth, which is correlated to evolving defect state out to the maximum dose of 400 dpa. Mechanistic insights on the role of grain boundaries in damage accumulation are gained using molecular dynamics displacement cascade simulations, demonstrating that the grain boundary character and damage proximity govern the balance between defect formation, migration, and recombination.

Talk Title: Enabling the SmartGrid with IoT Sensors and Edge-Cloud Analytics
Series: Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things
Abstract: Wireless sensors and edge-cloud analytics have the potential to gather and process vast amounts of data about the physical world, offering radical new insights about everything from critical infrastructure to interpersonal interactions. But designing, deploying, and operating geographically-distributed systems consisting a hierarchy of sensing, storage, compute, and communication elements raises interesting new challenges across the system stack. In this talk, we will discuss our experiences designing new IoT systems to address several power and power grid monitoring problems. In particular, this talk will focus on three systems-”PowerBlade, Triumvi, and GridWatch-”and their motivation, design, and deployment. PowerBlade explores how to cost-effectively characterize, capture, and classify widespread plug-load energy usage-”representing the fastest growing and least understood segment of end-use energy consumption-”across hundreds of homes and offices representing tens of thousands of sensors. Triumvi explores how to make circuit level energy metering, useful for a variety of facilities trending, energy savings, and fault detection & diagnostics applications, more efficient and scalable. Finally, GridWatch explores how to scalably and cost-effectively detect and respond to the power outages that stymie residential and business activity in under-developed power grids using mobile and fixed sensors, data analytics, and reporting systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, finding that conventional approaches to outage detection systems vastly underreport customer experiences. These systems all share a similar architecture, require new sensor devices and edge-cloud data processing, and wrestle with power management and networking. But they ultimately demonstrate both the tremendous potential and the significant challenges of this nascent computing class.

AME Seminar

Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Carlos M. Portela, Caltech
Talk Title: Fabrication, Mechanical Characterization, and Modeling of 3D Architected Materials upon Static and Dynamic Loading
Abstract: Architected materials have been ubiquitous in nature, enabling unique properties that are unachievable by monolithic, homogeneous materials. Inspired by natural processes, man-made three-dimensional (3D) architected materials have been reported to enable novel mechanical properties such as high stiffness- to-density ratios or extreme resilience, increasingly so when nanoscale size effects are present. However, most architected materials have relied on advanced additive manufacturing techniques that are not yet scalable and yield small sample sizes. Additionally, most of these nano- and micro-architected materials have only been studied in the static regime, leaving the dynamic parameter space unexplored.
In this talk, we discuss advances in our understanding of architected materials by: (i ) proposing numerical and theoretical tools that predict the behavior of architected materials with non-ideal geometries, (ii ) presenting a pathway for scalable fabrication of tunable nano-architected materials, and (iii ) exploring the response of nano- and micro-architected materials under three types of dynamic loading. We first explore the mechanics of lattice architectures with features at the micro- and millimeter scales, and discuss the effect of nodes (i.e., junctions) to obtain more accurate computational and theoretical predictive tools. Going beyond lattices, we propose alternative node-less geometries that exhibit extreme mechanical resilience at the nanoscale, and we harness self-assembly processes to demonstrate a pathway to fabricate them in cubic-centimeter volumes while maintaining nanoscale resolution. Lastly, we venture into the dynamic regime by designing, fabricating, and testing micro-architected materials that exhibit vibrational band gaps in the MHz regime as well as nano-architected materials with extreme energy absorption upon microparticle supersonic impact.

Speaker: Xucheng Zhu, University of California, Berkeley
Talk Title: 3D Free Breathing Pediatric Pulmonary MRI
Series: Medical Imaging Seminar Series
Abstract: In contrast to PET and CT, MRI delivers no ionizing radiation and within a single imaging session provides a wide range of soft tissue characterization and function. Unfortunately, the innumerable air-tissue interfaces in the lung disrupt the MRI signal, rendering lung tissue invisible on conventional MRI. Furthermore, scans are highly susceptible to respiratory and bulk motion that is widely prevalent in pediatric patient populations. For these reasons, MRI is currently insufficient to provide the prognostic and diagnostic information required of imaging studies. We proposed a novel motion corrected imaging framework, combining with a ultra-short echo time(UTE) acquisition to overcome the existing challenges in pediatric lung MRI.
Biography: Xucheng Zhu is a 5th year PhD student in the joint UC Berkeley and UCSF Bioengineering program, mentored by Dr. Peder Larson. My PhD thesis focuses on 3D high resolution free breathing lung MRI. I also have experience in PET/MR reconstruction and motion correction, dynamic hyperpolarized 13C MRI, and deep learning based medical image enhancement.
