SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Shota Momma (Negishi) is an assistant professor in linguistics at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. He specializes in psycholinguistics\, and his current NSF-funded research focuses on revealing how speakers assemble sentence structures in production in two different languages\, English and Japanese. Before joining UMass\, he was at the Department of Psychology at the University of California\, San Diego\, working with Victor Ferreira and Tamar Gollan. Before that\, he did his Ph. D with Colin Phillips in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland\, College Park.\n\nTitle: Building sentence structures in speaking\nAbstract: We have theories of grammatical knowledge and theories of how people produce sentences. These two theories\, however\, are not well integrated. In this talk\, I will attempt to present an integrated theory of structure building in sentence production and grammatical knowledge. I will discuss our group’s recent research on how speakers formulate various types of sentence structure that played central roles in the development of grammatical theories\, such as relative clauses (e.g.\, the cat that the girl thinks the dog chased)\, wh-questions (e.g.\, what did the girl think the dog chased?)\, raising (e.g.\, the girl seems to like the dog)\, and control (e.g.\, the girl wants to hug the dog). Based on the results from these studies\, I will argue that there is a surprising parallelism between the notion of locality in grammatical theories and planning units in theories of sentence production. I will attempt to outline a theoretical framework that might allow us to integrate various findings from syntax\, sentence production\, and possibly\, sentence comprehension.\n\nThis event will be hybrid held in East Hall 4448 & Zoom.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Glenn Knoll Lecture
DESCRIPTION:INNOVATIONS IN RADIATION DETECTORS AND SYSTEMS FOR POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY\n\nSimon R. Cherry\, Ph.D.\nDepartment of Biomedical Engineering\nDepartment of Radiology\nUniversity of California\, Davis\, USA\n\nPositron emission tomography (PET) imaging is an important clinical tool for staging and monitoring treatment response in cancer patients and has a broad range of other diagnostic and research applications.  Roughly 10 million diagnostic PET scans are performed worldwide\, annually and the number is growing quite rapidly.\n\nAdvances in radiation detector technology have led to new generations of PET systems that demonstrate a quantum leap in imaging performance\, and in doing so open new opportunities for the application of PET in biomedical research and in the clinic.  State-of-the-art total body and brain PET scanners will be reviewed.\n\nCurrent innovations in radiation detector research offer the prospect of future opportunities to further improve the performance of PET scanners\, with a specific focus on time-of-flight performance.  Examples include fast timing from dense room-temperature semiconductors and the use of promptCherenkov luminescence as a fast-timing trigger.  The first steps towards detectors capable of real-time and reconstruction-free imaging of positron-labeled radiopharmaceuticals will be presented. Such systems would approach the theoretical performance limits for imaging radiotracers and permit novel imaging geometries\, providing an exquisitely sensitive and quantitative imaging tool for biomedical research in human subjects.\n\n\n\nBIO\n\nSimon R. Cherry\, Ph.D. received his B.Sc.(Hons) in Physics with Astronomy from University College London in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the Institute of Cancer Research\, University of London in 1989. In 1993\, he became a faculty member in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at UCLA.  Simon joined UC Davis in 2001\, and is currently Distinguished Research Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology.\n\nSimon’s research interests center around biomedical imaging. His major accomplishments have been in developing systems for positron emission tomography\, for example as co-leader of the EXPLORER consortium which developed the world’s first total-body PET scanner.  He also has contributed to detector technology innovations for PET\, conducted early biomedical studies using Cerenkovluminescence\, and developed the first proof-of-concept hybrid PET/MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) systems.  \n\nSimon is an elected fellow of six professional societies and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Inventors. He has received several international awards including the Society of nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Cassen Prize in 2022.  He served as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Physics in Medicine and Biology from 2011-2020. Simon is the author of more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles\, review articles and book chapters in the field of biomedical imaging. He is also lead author of the widely-used textbook “Physics in Nuclear Medicine”.
