In manufacturing, teams of robotics systems, working in coordination with one another, have led to dramatic increases in safety, efficiency, and profit. Collaborative teams of robotic vehicles working together in unstructured environments have the potential to yield similar gains in a variety of application areas including automatic inspection of underwater structures. However, autonomous collaboration in real-world environments is significantly more difficult than in the factory. The main reason for this is because in an unstructured environment, fundamental information such as the position of the robotic agent, its relationship to other agents, and a model of the robot's surroundings all have to be estimated by the robotic vehicle online, while their estimation can be simplified or engineered out of the problem in a structured one. This is further complicated by the fact that in underwater environments, failure of a navigation or perception algorithm that estimates the above quantities can result in significant damage or the loss of a vehicle. Moreover, existing algorithms for navigation and mapping in unstructured environments, tend to fail in the presence of outlier measurements, when given a bad initialization, or when using an inaccurate characterization of pose uncertainty.

In this thesis, we propose four methods that bring us closer to robust and consistent multi-agent autonomous inspection. The first is a method for handling outlier measurements when merging maps generated by two agents collaboratively inspecting a structure. The proposed method uses graph theory to enforce that the selected set of measurements are consistent with one another resulting in more consistent maps than existing methods. The second is an initialization agnostic method for aligning robot trajectories based on low-dimensional data. The third is a way of formulating the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem as a convex polynomial optimization problem. This enables us to guarantee that the trajectory estimated by the robotic vehicle is the true solution to the posed optimization problem. Finally, the fourth is method that uses Lie group theory and the Lie algebra to accurately characterize the uncertainty of jointly correlated poses. We evaluate the proposed methods and show that they outperform existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

We conclude with a discussion of "reliable autonomy" by describing a set of additional problems that need to be solved to enable reliable, large-scale, fully-autonomous, multi-agent inspection of underwater structures.

Joshua Mangelson is a Ph.D. Candidate in Robotics at the University of Michigan. His interests lie in the development of navigation, mapping, and perception algorithms that enable the design of reliable field robotic systems that can operate consistently in unstructured environments. He is especially interested in the development of large-scale multi-agent teams for autonomous inspection of underwater structures. He is the recipient of the IEEE ICRA Best Multi-Robot Paper Award and the IEEE OCEANS Best Poster Award both in 2018.

Social Area Talk: Identity-Based Approaches to Improve Student Outcomes and Reduce Socioeconomic (April 19, 2019 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63245 63245-15601665@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 10:30am
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Please note that Mesmin is a Social Psychology Alum completing his degree in 2010.

Abstract: A growing number of social psychological studies provide new insight into understanding how a student’s socioeconomic status (SES) of origin influences educational experiences and outcomes. These studies also yield implications for subtle, research-based strategies to reframe how students experience their socioeconomic contexts in order to increase academic motivation and engagement. Destin's talk will describe a series of studies that illustrates how information and messages about opportunity in society and overcoming challenges can be utilized to increase student motivation during adolescence. He will also describe studies that examine the effectiveness of leveraging other social agents in students’ lives, like parents and near peers, to convey motivating identity-based messages. Finally, the research extends into higher education and reveals potential implications for broader notions of health, well-being, and public policy.

Title:
Precision Mental Health Care through Mobile Technology

Problem Statement:
Problem Statement: Depression, sleep, addiction, anxiety, and suicide are leading, and growing, causes of disability, productivity loss, and premature mortality globally. The number of behavioral health clinicians available to provide traditional face-to-face care is woefully inadequate to meet the growing need. Further, a substantial proportion of patients treated under current healthcare systems do not get better. With evidence to meaningfully guide treatment decisions and objective measures of mental health both lacking, the choice of treatment is often based on clinician preference and simple heuristics.

More than any other recent advance, mobile technology has the potential to address the dual problems of limited clinical capacity and inadequate and untimely data. Mobile technology holds the potential to both track and intervene on mental health symptoms in powerful ways that had not previously been possible. However, little is known about how to derive the greatest value from this technology by targeting patients most likely to benefit and by providing clinicians with the most useful information gleaned from the intensive data collection processes.

Bios:
Amy S.B. Bohnert, Ph.D., M.H.S. is a mental health services researcher with training in public health who focuses her research on epidemiology and brief interventions regarding substance use and related disorders. Within a team of collaborators at the University of Michigan and the Department of Veterans Affairs, she has led a number of projects related to overdose and prescription drug safety.

Srijan Sen, M.D., Ph.D. is the Associate Chair for Research and Research Faculty Development and Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Professor of Depression and Neurosciences. Dr. Sen’s research focuses on the interactions between genes and the environment and their effect on stress, anxiety, and depression. He also has a particular interest in medical education, and leads a large multi-institution study that uses medical internship as a model of stress.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 21, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58797 58797-14561445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 21, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s explores large-scale works of art by Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, Sam Gilliam, and Al Loving, within the context of highly-charged debates of the early 1970s about aesthetics, politics, race, and feminism. This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art. UMMA docents will help visitors look through the lens of the four artists’ works to explore the aesthetic choices inherent in abstraction as well as the acts of staining, pouring, draping, —or even taking apart the wall itself—within this charged political context.

UMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:

Clinical Science Brown Bag: Addressing Barriers to Mental Health Care: The Development of the Mood Lifters Program (April 22, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59073 59073-14677949@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 22, 2019 9:00am

Approximately half of all Americans will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime. Many more will cope with negative life events such as trauma, the death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, and physical illness. Unfortunately, research suggests that the current mental health care system in the United States (U.S.) is dramatically underutilized with only 43.1% of the 44.7 million Americans affected by mental illness receiving mental health care in the last year (NIMH, 2017). Many people experience significant barriers that prevent them from accessing care. In order to address some of the barriers to mental health care, researchers at the University of Michigan developed a novel intervention, Mood Lifters. Mood Lifters is a peer-led, low-cost, evidence-based program designed to improve mental wellness, decrease negative affect and increase positive affect. Mood Lifters weaves together the most effective biological, psychological and social techniques, based on the most recent research, to provide strategies that people can use to make changes, develop healthy habits and live the life they want. This talk will cover the development of the Mood Lifters program and the current scientific support for the program.

Abstract

How do children attend selectively, focusing their attention on relevant information while simultaneously suppressing distractors? What neurobiological and contextual factors contribute to the development of selective attention in early childhood? In this talk, I will explore these questions, utilizing a multimethod approach that combines electroencephalography (EEG) with behavioral, experimental, and observational measures. In part 1, I will share findings from studies in which I examined the brain functions supporting selective attention in early childhood in the context of socioeconomic adversity. These studies emphasize that there is notable variability in the neurodevelopment of selective attention in children from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds. In part 2, I will discuss pilot data and future directions for research on how neighborhood, household, and classroom auditory environments contribute to the development of selective attention as children transition to formal schooling. In addition, I will present my ongoing and planned work towards reproducible, replicable, and representative developmental EEG research, in the context of neurodevelopment of selective attention specifically, and for developmental research broadly.

Deep vein thrombosis, defined as blood clots forming in veins beneath muscles in the body, is the third most common cardiovascular disease worldwide. The standard treatment of deep vein thrombosis involves using anticoagulants to stop clot progression but is only successful in 2/3 of patients because the composition of the clot changes over time. The standard diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and determination of the age of the thrombus are based on the patient’s timeline of when these symptoms appeared. With use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), thrombus progression can be studied non-invasively from the acute to chronic stage. The aims of this work are to apply a Gaussian mixture model to multiparametric MRI of preclinical thrombi and determine whether spatial correlations exist with composition by histology.

Thrombosis was induced in 30 12-week-old mice divided into three groups and imaged at either acute, sub-chronic, or chronic time points. The multiparametric MRI volumes consisted of T1-, T2-, and T2*-weighted images. The MRI volume for each mouse was normalized, and the thrombus was segmented. The T1, T2, and T2* intensities at each location were input into a Gaussian mixture model. Following image acquisition, tissue samples were acquired and stained for Martius scarlet blue trichrome to examine red blood cell, collagen, and fibrin content in each thrombus.

To analyze each Gaussian mixture model region, qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed by comparing the Gaussian mixture model results with the paired histology. 2D correlation values between the Gaussian mixture model tissue class and histological composition revealed that the first cluster class correlated with red blood cells (p < 0.05), and the second cluster class correlated with fibrin and collagen (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that spatial correlations exist between the classification of multiparametric MRI data and corresponding histology. With the aforementioned methods and results from each study, we are able to move one step closer with assisting healthcare providers in optimizing treatments for patients with deep vein thrombosis.

Biopsychology Colloquium: Treating the hyperphagia driving obesity: Neural mechansims of feeding inhibition with a focus on CNS GLP-1R as a target (April 23, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59099 59099-14677977@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 23, 2019 12:00pm

Obesity prevalence continues to climb worldwide providing significant pathophysiologic challenges to human health. Hyperphagia, the primary driver of this epidemic, results from the activating effects of hedonic sensory features of the food environment on specific, behavior-generating brain circuits. Feeding inhibition, by contrast, results from ingested food triggering GI satiation signals whose activational effects are conveyed via vagal afferents and processed by n. tractus solitarious (NTS) neurons that are also responsive to leptin and oxytocin. A focus on food intake inhibition neurobiology compels attention to roles for gastrointestinal satiation signals and provides an entry point in deciphering a circuit diagram for feeding inhibition that should be useful to the development of efficacious obesity phramacotherapies. It is interesting to note that GLP-1 released from intestinal enteroendocrine cells by digested food excites centrally projecting vagal afferents that in turn excite GLP-1-positive TH- positive and PrRP-positive NTS neurons. The rats’ ~500 GLP-1 NTS neurons send their axons to multiple and anatomically distributed GLP-1R expressing nuclei such that when activated by the consequences of food ingestion and other antecedents there is a brain wide increase in GLP-1R signaling that results in feeding inhibition. Others and we have individually probed function in various GLP-1R expressing nuclei with agonist and find a remarkable degree of redundancy across targets including reductions in: meal size, cumulative intake, food seeking and feeding motivation. GLP-1R targeted anti-obesity drug therapy works via brain penetrance of long acting modied agonists resulting in multisite activation of endogenous control circuits to reduce feeding and thereby body weight. Among their actions GLP-1R targeting therapies impact neural mediation of hedonic processes involved in food seeking and feeding motivation. Support from NIH DK-21397

Can we improve musicians’ opportunities to earn money from music?

The amount of revenue generated by the music and recording industries
is massive, and by most accounts, increasing. Musicians and composers
receive only a tiny fraction of that money, and many of them complain
that that share has been getting smaller.

Students will discuss how working musicians and composers can earn more money from their music.

The purpose of this dissertation is to advance the development of a drug-loaded polymeric scaffold for bone tissue engineering as a promising synthetic substitute for autologous bone grafts. While still considered the reference standard for treatment of large volume bone injuries, autologous grafts are limited in their clinical applications by donor site morbidity, limited tissue availability, and potential for graft failure. The clinical use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) as bone graft substitutes has resulted in serious side effects due in part to the supraphysiologic dose of BMP required for adequate healing. New approaches to treating these large volume injuries are needed. Our proposed strategy utilizes tissue engineering and drug delivery concepts to develop synthetic drug-loaded biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration.

To enhance the osteogenic potential of synthetic scaffolds, we sought to simultaneously deliver two growth factors: recombinant human BMP-7 and recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). We first established an in vitro cell culture model using rabbit mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate and optimize the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment in combination with BMP-7 as a basis for our in vivo studies. We subsequently encapsulated the growth factors in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres with tailored release patterns for each factor. Low molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate FGF-2 in fast releasing nanospheres while high molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate BMP-7 in slow releasing nanospheres. We found that FGF-2 augmented BMP-7-directed ectopic bone formation in a subcutaneous mouse model, and that the synergistic effect was dependent on the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment. We also found that FGF-2 may contribute to enhanced bone formation due to its effects on cell migration and proliferation, as well as its angiogenic and osteogenic effects.

We then established an in vitro model to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells in 2D monolayer and 3D culture on novel nanofibrous spongy microsphere scaffold (NF-SMS). We used a similar PLGA-based drug delivery system to control the release kinetics of FGF-2 and BMP-7 and conjugated drug-loaded PLGA nanospheres to the injectable NF-SMS scaffold. In a critical size cranial defect mouse model, low dose FGF-2 combined with BMP-7 enhanced bone regeneration over BMP-7 alone.

Lastly, we sought to better understand the crosstalk between the FGF-2 and BMP-7 signaling pathways through a series of experiments to measure the effect of FGF-2 on canonical BMP signaling in mouse calvarial osteoblasts. We identified a potential new link between these signaling pathways and propose a new mechanism by which FGF-2 signaling modulates BMP receptor activity, enhancing the phosphorylation of R-Smad1/5/9 proteins.

This research elucidates the criteria for achieving synergy between BMP-7 and FGF-2 through relevant in vitro and in vivo models. It provides guidelines for future development of biomimetic scaffolds with controlled release of multiple relevant biological cues to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.

Airbreathing hypersonic flight has the potential to revolutionize global transportation and has been one of the last frontiers in the aerospace industry for over seven decades. Unlike conventional commercial aircraft, air-breathing hypersonic vehicles are naturally interdisciplinary: the aerodynamic, structural and thermal responses are tightly coupled. One of the unresolved technical challenges is the lack of hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws for conducting aerothermoelastic testing. Once such scaling laws were available, the flight test data obtained on scaled models could be extrapolated to full-size vehicles, resulting in a dramatic cost reduction in the development of hypersonic vehicles.

This dissertation aims to achieve refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws using a novel two-pronged methodology, which combines the classical scaling approach with augmentation from numerical simulations of the specific aerothermoelastic problem. First, an efficient aerothermoelastic computational framework is developed. The framework adopts a novel technique that enables the extrapolation of surrogate-based interpolative reduced order aerodynamic models and achieves computational acceleration by four orders of magnitude. The framework also features the linearized stability analysis for efficient identification of aerothermoelastic stability boundary and a tightly-coupled scheme for near-real-time aerothermoelastic simulation of extended flight time. On top of the framework, the development of new aerothermoelastic scaling laws is formulated in the form of a constrained optimization problem, which is solved using a Bayesian optimization approach. The effectiveness of the two-pronged approach is demonstrated by its application to the refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling of a composite skin panel configuration.

Public art on a university campus plays a significant role in creating an environment that supports the development of the mind and spirit of students, faculty, and staff. The University of Michigan has an historic and longstanding commitment to public art. The campus is full of icons that evoke the Michigan spirit, but none capture the vital importance of public art on campus like Mark di Suvero’s Orion.

Please join us on Wednesday, April 24 for an opportunity to hear from one of the greatest living sculptors and creators of public art.

Born in Shanghai, China, in 1933, di Suvero immigrated to the United States in 1941 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. An internationally renowned sculptor and pioneer in the use of steel, he began showing his sculptures in the 1950s. Di Suvero is the sculptor of two iconic works on the U-M Ann Arbor campus: Shang, a kinetic sculpture that features a suspended platform that swings, and Orion, a brightly painted, orange-red sculpture made of hand-cut, painted steel. His architectural-scale sculptures have been exhibited in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia, Japan, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. di Suvero is the first living artist to exhibit in the Jardin des Tuileries and the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris and at Millennium Park in Chicago. His work is featured in more than 100 museums and public collections, including the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. An activist for peace and social justice, di Suvero co-founded Park Place Gallery, an artists’ cooperative, in New York City in 1962. In 1977, he established the Athena Foundation to assist artists to fulfill their ambitions. He established Socrates Sculpture Park in 1986 at the site of a landfill in Queens, New York. Di Suvero has received several honors, including the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and the National Medal of Arts.

Christina Olsen is the Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and Chair of the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art. Before coming to Michigan she served as the Class of 1956 Director at the Williams College Museum of Art.

In many applications, models of physical systems have known structure but unknown parameters. By viewing the unknown parameters as constant states, nonlinear estimation methods such as the extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, and ensemble Kalman filter can be used to estimate the states of the augmented system, thereby providing estimates of the parameters along with the dynamic states. These methods tend to be computationally expensive due to the need for Jacobians, ensembles, or adjoint, especially when the models are high-dimensional.

This dissertation presents the retrospective cost parameter estimation (RCPE) algorithm, which does not require gradients, ensembles, or adjoints. Rather, RCPE estimates unknown parameters from a single trajectory, and requires updating only as many adaptive integrator gains as the number of unknown parameters. RCPE is applicable to parameter estimation in linear and nonlinear models, where the parameterization may be either affine or nonaffine.

The main contribution of this work is to show that the parameter estimates may be permuted in an arbitrary way, and thus a permutation is needed to correctly associate each parameter estimate with the corresponding unknown parameter. RCPE is illustrated through several numerical examples including the Burgers equation and the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM).

The Six Senses of Buddhism (April 28, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59786 59786-14788663@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 28, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Art museums generally give primacy to the sense of sight. Religious and ritual objects, on the other hand, stimulate an array of multisensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition. These six are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and mind (or the activity of thinking, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements; the fragrance of incense; the feel of bronze, ceramic, and silk; and the creation of mental images. Gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice with a docent tour of this fascinating exhibition.

Lead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

Abstract
Childhood adversity, such as growing up in poverty or experiencing parental neglect, is associated with a host of negative outcomes, including depression and low educational attainment. Although it is understood that these types of adversity alter the brain and increase the risk for problems, it is not known what forms of adversity are most pernicious and how they affect the brain. In the presentation, Dr. Monk will describe a study comprised of predominantly adolescents from low-income backgrounds who have been followed since birth. Using brain imaging methods, Dr. Monk shows how two specific and chronic forms of adversity, violence exposure and social deprivation, impact brain development in different ways. At the same time, the adolescents show a striking degree of resilience, despite the challenging circumstances. Dr. Monk will discuss both social and biological mechanisms that might explain the resilience.


Bio

Dr. Monk is a Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry. He is also a Research Professor in the Survey Research Center at ISR and the Center for Human Growth and Development. Dr. Monk received his PhD in Child Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from the University of Minnesota. He then went on to the NIMH Intramural Research Program where he was a postdoc and later a fellow. His research program involves two active and related lines of research. In the first line, he is examining how poverty-related stressors and the developmental timing of those stressors impact brain development, stress hormone regulation and anxiety as well as depression symptoms during adolescence. For the second line of research, he is investigating how effective treatments for anxiety (cognitive behavioral therapy or medication) alter brain function and how these brain alterations relate to clinical outcome in children and adolescents.

Guided wave methods are widely used for damage detection in the field of structure health monitoring (SHM). If damages are to be effectively and accurately detected, a strong and deep understanding of wave propagation in typical structures must be developed, considering complexities associated with guided waves interactions with structural boundaries, transducers and various damage scenarios. The state of the art in numerical simulation mostly limits to finite element analyses that are either unable to handle the fine spatial-temporal resolutions required by guided wave simulation, or are computationally inefficient. Local Interaction Simulation Approach (LISA) offers a competing solution by exploiting the massively parallelization capability of the algorithm and the extensibility to incorporate sophisticated local mechanisms that allow for coupled modeling of transducers and damages.

This dissertation presents the development of the multi-GPU enabled UM-LISA numerical framework for guided wave modeling and propagation simulation and several applications in SHM and elastic metamaterial research. Multiple formulation features were developed and numerically implemented that enable versatile simulation of wave propagation in finite damped medium with various damage scenarios. UM-LISA is later extended to address different problems, including the characterization of fatigue damage in aluminum plate, the investigation of wave fields generated by phase arrays of multiple piezoelectric wafers, and the performance characterization of 3-D printed functional graded acoustic black holes. The wave propagation prediction from these applications are also tested against experimental data. The agreement between simulation and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing numerical simulation for the investigation of wave propagation in SHM and elastic metamaterials.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy among women in the US, responsible for 14,000 deaths per year, and five-year survival rate of 25%. Within the primary and metastatic microenvironments in the ovary, peritoneal ascites and omentum, the ovarian cancer cells are subject to several mechanical stresses, including compressive stresses generated by uncontrolled cell growth in a confining space, increased tissue stiffness due to tumor cell extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and increased interstitial fluid pressure due to the angiogenic growth of new leaky blood vessels. However, current models to study these stimuli within the ovarian tumor microenvironment are lacking in biophysical cues, relevant extracellular matrix dynamics and the ability to consistently sustain cells through the detachment process. The absence of consistent optimization of matrix composition and degradation mechanics also leads to occurrences of increased cytolysis during in vitro experimentation. In order to meet this critical unmet need, my Master’s thesis is focused on developing extracellular matrices that feature comparable consistent compositional, structural and mechanical cues. Additionally, these matrices facilitate biophysical modulation to be applicable over a wider range in a manner that allows for improved experimental precision. Given the range of matrix stiffness, permeability and porosity, I have developed and characterized hydrogels for designing extracellular mimics for ovarian cancer mechanotransduction studies.

In this work, I highlight the need for optimization of interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels’ homogeneity, thereby providing uniform adhesion during mechano-transduction experiments. Further, I optimized cell harvesting via thorough cell detachment without causing cytolysis for downstream analysis including, flow cytometry on detached cells. Moreover, I have characterized the rheologic, transport and structural properties of IPN hydrogels, and demonstrate how these can account for variation in experimental results. Overall, my thesis provides insight into the significance of hydrogel matrix composition when constructing cell scaffolds for specific cellular microenvironments.

Owing to their success as natural hydrogel scaffolds, I utilized alginate and agarose to design the ovarian cancer extracellular matrices. Within these networks, collagen served as the second component of the IPN network, providing an anchoring fibrillar network for the cells within the otherwise non-fibrillar material, and further enhancing the biocompatibility of the scaffold. I varied the IPN hydrogel composition to demonstrate a relevant range structural and mechanical properties. Further, I characterized the homogeneity, morphology, fiber structure, stiffness, gelation time, permeability and porosity of IPN hydrogels. Lastly, I evaluated ovarian cancer cells for cellular function post-harvest from IPN hydrogels, to demonstrate successful detachment and degradation of the surrounding matrix.

The results of this study enable tailoring of the IPN hydrogel extracellular matrices according to required mechanical, structural, and biophysical parameters for not only ovarian cancer, but also other originating tissues for improved robustness and reliability of the in vitro cancer bioengineering models.

Human skin plays vital roles in both the sensory system and thermoregulation, and also provides an important line of defense for the body from the external environment. However, experimental methods that enable in vivo characterization of this multi-layered organ are currently lacking. Soft tissue artificial phantoms can be used to diagnose certain skin diseases or to validate the efficacy of medical procedures. This study proposes a non-invasive method to obtain three-dimensional displacement measurements of soft tissue using suction and digital image correlation. We developed a measurement device capable of applying suction loading while capturing images of the full-field deformation of the area of interest. Soft tissue phantoms were fabricated, and a temporary speckle pattern was applied to each surface to provide unique features required for image correlation. A soft tissue phantom with less stiff inclusions of various diameters and a 3D printed ellipsoid was prepared. Analysis was performed using an open-source software, DICe, and both peak displacement and pressure were further parameterized for comparison metrics. The stiffness of each material was validated by comparison to each other and a hard surface. The softer inclusions were not detected, however, the material with inclusions behaved differently than the control, indicating an overall change in material properties. Preliminary results support the use of the parameterizations as comparison metrics and demonstrate the successful application of 3D-DIC to measure deformation of a surface under suction loading. The device can be modified in the future to enable measurement of surfaces with larger contours or smaller regions of interest. The compact design of the instrument permits data collection in a range of environmental conditions outside of the lab, facilitating experiments that are currently not possible.

Autonomy has become a dominant theme across many transportation domains, from automobiles to aircraft to ships. However, the interaction of these autonomous systems with humans remains an open challenge. Several examples of this challenge include the interaction between the pilot and autonomous system in transport aircraft and the interaction between autonomous cars and pedestrians. The interaction challenge arises for a number of reasons, including a lack of mathematical models for human behavior and the need for a massive amount of data required to safely account for all potential interactions. The first half of this talk focuses on one aspect of this challenge, developing a mathematical model for a pedestrian's behavior and studying its interaction with an automated vehicle at a mid-block, unsignalized intersection. By modeling pedestrian behavior through the concept of gap acceptance, we show that a hybrid controller with just four distinct modes allows an autonomous vehicle to successfully interact with a pedestrian across a continuous spectrum of possible crosswalk entry behaviors. The controller is validated through extensive simulation and compared to an alternate POMDP solution, with experimental results provided on a Hyundai research vehicle for a virtual pedestrian. The second half of this talk will focus on another contribution related to automated driving - a feedback-feedforward steering algorithm that enables an autonomous vehicle to accurately follow a specified trajectory at the friction limits while preserving robust stability margins. Experimental data collected from an Audi TTS driving at the handling limits (0.95 g) on a full length race circuit will demonstrate the performance of the controller design.

The design of reliable combustors is a crucial aspect of propulsion and energy production applications: a faulty combustor could cost human lives and millions (if not billions) of dollars. In practice, it is unreasonable to expect all devices to be extensively tested for all operating conditions that they will experience. The set of possible conditions is large, and the state of the device itself can evolve during its lifetime. Yet, deviations from normal behavior, or extreme events, should be appropriately accounted for during the design and the operation of the combustor.


In this work, a theoretical approach for the prediction of extreme events is presented. A classification of failures is proposed, and predictive questions that pertain to the failures are identified. This framework guides the work done in this thesis and is tailored to pave the way of future developments that are not addressed here.


The presentation will focus on the Lyapunov analysis, as it will be argued that it is a valuable tool that can be used to characterize the dynamics of the systems of interest. The Lyapunov analysis will be extensively presented, its numerical convergence examined in the context of fluid dynamics, and will then be applied to two systems of interest for turbulent combustion: a homogeneous isotropic turbulent flow and a partially premixed turbulent flame.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s explores large-scale works of art by Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, Sam Gilliam, and Al Loving, within the context of highly-charged debates of the early 1970s about aesthetics, politics, race, and feminism. This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art. UMMA docents will help visitors look through the lens of the four artists’ works to explore the aesthetic choices inherent in abstraction as well as the acts of staining, pouring, draping, —or even taking apart the wall itself—within this charged political context.

Despite the significant functional limitations imposed by upper limb loss, little research has focused on quantifying the functional success and satisfaction of prosthesis users. Most existing evidence comes from surveys, rather than experimental outcomes. Without a quantitative baseline, it is difficult to know where to focus attention for improvement in future prosthesis designs or to demonstrate whether new designs offer advantages over existing technologies. Thus, the goal of this dissertation was to quantify how functional outcomes and satisfaction relate to the type of prosthesis used.

The first aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects embodiment, or the extent to which prosthesis users perceived their prosthesis to be part of their body. We quantified embodiment for body-powered (BP) and myoelectric (MYO) prosthesis users based on a survey and two objective measurements of body schema and peripersonal space. Although BP users reported a stronger sense of agency over their prostheses in comparison to MYO users, other measures did not consistently differentiate experiences of embodiment based on prosthesis type. However, measurements of body schema varied depending on the cause of limb loss.

The second aim was to determine if prosthesis type impacts movement quality during activities of daily living. As an initial step for this aim, we quantified the reliability of movement quality metrics (three measures of smoothness and one measure of straightness) in healthy adults performing a variety of different tasks. Based on these findings, we then compared movement quality in BP and MYO prosthesis users during a subset of tasks (moving a can from a low shelf to a high shelf, placing a pill in a pillbox, and placing a pushpin in a bulletin board) using the metrics that had the highest reliability. All movements were slower when performed with MYO prostheses, except for the reaching phase of the pill task. Object manipulation movements were consistently less smooth when performed with MYO prostheses. However, differences in curvature of the reaching movements between the prosthesis types varied across tasks.

The third aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects kinematic compensations during activities of daily living. We quantified lateral lean, axial rotation, and flexion of the trunk during the same three activities of daily living. The range of motion was greater in all directions for BP prostheses during each task—except axial rotation and flexion during the pin task, which were greater for MYO prostheses.

The fourth aim was to explore the factors associated with interest in noninvasive (myoelectric) and invasive (targeted muscle reinnervation, peripheral nerve interfaces, cortical interfaces) interfaces for prosthesis control. An online survey collected opinions from 232 individuals with upper limb loss on the interfaces. Relationships between interest in the interfaces and demographics, limb loss characteristics, and prosthesis use history were defined using bivariate analysis and logistic regression. There was increased interest in the invasive interfaces among individuals who were younger, had unilateral limb loss, or had acquired limb loss.

Taken together, these aims suggest that BP prostheses may promote embodiment and smooth movement, while MYO prostheses may minimize compensatory movement. Although emerging prosthesis technologies requiring surgical intervention may not be accepted by all individuals with upper limb loss, functional outcomes with these technologies should be compared to outcomes with existing BP and MYO prostheses to demonstrate the relative merits of each design.

Molecular diagnosis has proven to be a powerful tool for early detection of neurodegenerative disease, but research in this field is still relatively nascent. In Alzheimer’s Disease specifically, levels of microtubule associated protein tau and amyloid-beta1-42 in cerebrospinal fluid are becoming reliable pathological indicators. The current gold standard for detecting these biomarkers is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and while this method has a limit of detection on the order of pg mL-1, it lacks the ability to provide information about aggregation extent and structure on a per-protein basis. From a disease standpoint, neurological pathologies are often extremely complex in their biological manifestation, and precise mechanisms for many of these diseases are still being discovered and revised. A thorough understanding of in situ structure and properties of neurological disease-related proteins would likely help clarify some of these complicated mechanisms. Resistive-pulse methods may be useful in this effort, as they can determine specific biomarker concentrations and can also unveil multiple physical qualities of single proteins or protein aggregates in an aqueous sample. The latter capability is critical and could allow for both earlier diagnoses and a stronger mechanistic understanding of neurological disease progression.

The work presented in this dissertation, therefore, represents broad efforts toward developing a nanopore-based system able to characterize amyloids and protein complexes related to neurodegenerative disease. These efforts range from upstream fabrication and characterization of nanopores in synthetic substrates to downstream techniques for optimizing the accuracy and efficiency of analyses on resistive pulses. Single proteins rotating and translating while tethered to the surface of a nanopore provide rich information during transit through the pore that makes it possible to determine their ellipsoidal shape, volume, dipole moment, charge, and rotational diffusion coefficient in a time frame of just a few hundred microseconds. This five-dimensional protein fingerprint, however, requires chemical modification of each protein and is thus not ideal for studying protein dynamics or transient protein complexes, both of which are relevant when characterizing amyloids. Transitioning to low-noise nanopore substrates and high-bandwidth recordings enables label-free identification and quantification of unperturbed, natively-folded proteins and protein complexes in solution – no chemical tags, tethers, or fluorescent labels are needed. Such a transition is nontrivial; proteins passing uninhibited through the strong electric field inside of a nanopore rotate and translocate rapidly, posing a challenge to time-resolve their various orientations adequately while circumventing adhesion to nanopore walls. Furthermore, during their translocation through the nanopore, untethered, native proteins diffuse laterally, generating asymmetric disturbances of the electric field and larger-than-expected resistive pulse magnitudes. Known as off-axis effects, these latter phenomena add a noise-like element to the electrical recordings. We evaluate, both computationally and experimentally, the influence of such label-free complications on resulting parameter estimates, and place these results in the context of developing future iterations of nanopore-based protein sensors.

In light of the spectacular recent success of nanopore-based nucleic acid sequencing, it is likely that the next frontier for nanopore-based analysis is the characterization of single proteins and, in particular, the characterization of protein aggregates such as amyloids. The experiments and results presented here enable future particle-by-particle analysis of amyloids with nanopores to rapidly reconstruct their heterogeneity in size and shape, both of which are correlated with the neurotoxicity of amyloid samples and are being investigated as biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease.

Title: Charge Dynamics in Femtosecond Laser Filaments

Co-Chair: Prof. Karl Krushelnick
Co-Chair: Dr. Andreas Schmitt-Sody

Abstract: When a high intensity, ultrashort laser pulse propagates in the atmosphere, it drives competing intensity-dependent effects that simultaneously try to collapse and defocus the beam. The balance of these effects leads to a transversely confined, high intensity structure called a filament that can persist for long distances. The self-focusing effect is counterbalanced by ionization of the air, and the resulting plasma channel has many interesting and poorly understood properties. One of these is the ability of the plasma to generate and radiate short pulses of microwaves.
Microwave frequencies lie in the range of 1-300 GHz. Radiation of this type from plasmas generated by laser filamentation has not been studied closely before. The nanosecond timescale of the current density variation which causes the observed emission is much slower than that of known charged particle motions in the plasma. The experiments described in the dissertation make substantial progress toward explaining the microwave generation mechanism. They show that large scale longitudinal changes in the current density on the order of the plasma size are reflected in the frequency spectrum of the radiation.
The frequency range of the short-duration microwave pulses is large enough that it was necessary to develop a new measurement technique in order to characterize their frequency spectrum. It relies on absolute calibration of a microwave receiver over many adjacent frequency bands, so that measurements made in each band can be presented as a continuous spectrum. It is then applied to several laser produced plasmas in atmosphere over a frequency range of 2-70 GHz.
The dependence of the microwave radiation on the electron-neutral collision rate is investigated by changing the air pressure. Its dependence on the average electron energy is examined by comparing the radiation resulting from air plasmas generated at different laser wavelengths in the mid-infrared versus the near-infrared. The plasma due to a laser pulse composed the fundamental wavelength and its second harmonic is shown to enhance or suppress the microwave radiation depending on the relative phase of the laser harmonics. Finally, the microwave field strength can be optimized by iteratively changing the transverse laser intensity profile in the focal region using a deformable mirror whose shape is controlled with a genetic algorithm.
The sensitivity of the microwave radiation to the conditions of the laser-plasma interaction indicates that it might be employed as new non- perturbing diagnostic for filament plasmas. This has been a longstanding challenge in the field, because plasmas resulting from filamentation are relatively diffuse, cold, and typically have submillimeter diameters. Determination of the low electron densities and temperatures by conventional means is typically intractable. The microwave measurements may contribute a solution that would enable a deeper understanding of the evolution of the filament plasma.

Advances in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine require biomaterials that instruct, rather than simply permit, a desired cellular response. A major challenge to progress in our field is the striking cellular and structural heterogeneity of the tissues in our bodies, which can be hierarchical, graded, and heterogeneous over multiple length and time scales. Prof. Harley’s research program is developing approaches to pattern biomaterials at the structural and biomolecular levels to replicate these heterogeneities in order to instruct desired cell behaviors. These efforts seek to provide new insight regarding the degree of biomaterial complexity required to investigate processes related to development, disease, and regeneration. I will describe a collagen biomaterial under development to address barriers preventing regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues such as orthopedic insertions and craniomaxillofacial bones. Here we are using bioinspired design motifs to create composite biomaterials able to improve cell bioactivity and mechanical competence in order to address mechanistic and translational challenges. I will subsequently describe development of a gelatin hydrogel system as well as microfluidic forming techniques to create libraries of optically-translucent hydrogels containing overlapping patterns of cell, matrix, and biomolecule cues. We are using this platform to explore the coordinated impact of structural, biomolecular, and metabolic cues on niche-mediated regulation of hematopoietic stem cell fate as well as invasion and therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma, the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. I will highlight work that employs these platforms to regulate processes such as self-renewal vs. quiescence; signaling and remodeling of artificial perivascular environments; as well as invasion and therapeutic resistance.

Piezoelectric materials are currently among the most promising building blocks for sensing, actuation and energy harvesting systems. However, these materials are limited in many applications due to their lack of machinability as well as their inability to conform to curved surfaces. One method to mitigate this issue is through additive manufacturing (direct printing) of piezoelectric nanocomposites, where piezoelectric nanomaterials are embedded in a polymer matrix. With the advent of additive manufacturing it is now possible to realize 3D print nanocomposites with tailored microstructure.
A primary objective of this study is to develop and experimentally validate micromechanical and finite element models that allow the study of the electroelastic properties of a 3D printed nanocomposite containing piezoelectric inclusions. Furthermore, the dependence of these properties on geometrical features such as aspect ratio and active phase alignment are investigated. This dissertation presents a novel approach for harvesting ambient mechanical energy at extreme environments. Many miniature electronic sensors and actuators in aerospace applications risk breakdown due to their operation in extreme temperature conditions, as cooling and protecting them prove to be challenging due to space and weight limitations. Therefore, as a second objective of this investigation, a flexible energy harvester capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (< 250 °C) is developed using a 3D printing approach that can provide useful electrical energy from ambient vibrations. The research presented in this dissertation can provide a robust tool for the analysis and design of two phase piezoelectric nanocomposite energy harvesters able to operate under a spectrum of conditions ranging from ambient to extreme temperatures.

The Power Family Program for Inuit Art: Tillirnanngittuq (May 19, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61512 61512-15119369@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, May 19, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In celebration of UMMA’s new Power Family Program for Inuit Art, the Museum presents a special exhibition of two incredible, intertwining stories. One traces the development of contemporary Inuit art in the Canadian Arctic from the 1950s to the present. The other relates the fascinating story of the Power family’s important role in supporting and promoting Inuit art from the outset, bringing public attention to its artistic strength and cultural importance. The Power family’s collection is unusual in its strong representation of early contemporary carvings, incised drawings on ivory and antler, soapstone sculptures, and prints that evolved as Inuit artists developed their own artistic voices and responded creatively to their changing world. 

This exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

The Six Senses of Buddhism (May 26, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61514 61514-15119371@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, May 26, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Art museums generally give primacy to the sense of sight. Religious and ritual objects, on the other hand, stimulate an array of multisensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition. These six are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and mind (or the activity of thinking, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements; the fragrance of incense; the feel of bronze, ceramic, and silk; and the creation of mental images. Gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice with a docent tour of this fascinating exhibition.

Lead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

Time: 8:00 AM
Location: FXB-1044 (McDivitt Conference Room, FXB)

Elastic instabilities associated with buckling in multistable structures have been harnessed toward energy-based and control-based applications, with significant research toward energy harvesting and morphing. Often combined with smart materials such as piezoelectric or shape memory alloy actuators, bistable composite plates are popular host structures due to maintaining two geometrically distinct stable shapes without any external influence. A second potential well is traditionally generated from anisotropic thermal residual stresses in fiber-reinforced composite laminates during cure cycle cooldown. In this work, a novel method of inducing bistability is investigated by bonding two piezoelectrically actuated Macro Fiber Composites (MFC) in a cross-ply layup and releasing the voltage post cure to yield two cylindrically stable configurations. Since the MFCs are simultaneously the transducer and host structure, the resulting efficiencies and increase in actuation authority enable multifunctionality while exceeding the limits of conventional bistable prototypes that are designed with a single application in mind. Through MFC actuation, quasi-static snap through morphing is achieved with no external assistance while unwanted cross-well instabilities resulting from nonlinear vibrations are suppressed with active control strategies. The same cross-well dynamics are also exploited in various broadband energy harvesting applications.

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene (June 2, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61516 61516-15119373@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, June 2, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. Join an UMMA docent tour to explore how the international artists in this exhibition respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, UF Office of the Provost, National Endowment for the Arts, C. Frederick and Aase B. Thompson Foundation, Ken and Laura Berns, Daniel and Kathleen Hayman, Ken and Linda  McGurn, Susan Milbrath, an anonymous foundation, UF Center for Humanities and the Public Sphere, UF Office of Research and Robert and Carolyn Thoburn, with additional support from a group of environmentally-minded supporters, the Robert C. and Nancy Magoon Contemporary Exhibition and Publication Endowment, Harn Program Endowment, and the Harn Annual Fund.

Lead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Tom Porter in honor of the Michigan Climate Action Network, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design and School for Environment and Sustainability.

Abstract:
The critical barrier to cost-effective wind power is partly rooted in wind stochasticity, severely complicating wind power production optimization and cost reduction. Therefore, the long-term viability of wind energy hinges upon a good understanding of its production reliability, which is affected in turn by the predictability of wind and power productivity of wind turbines.

This Big Data workshop presents recent research updates to addresses the big data challenges, including how to best use spatio-temporal data for wind forecast and how to use data of different nature and data of different sources for power production assessment in a computationally efficient manner.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (June 9, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61511 61511-15119368@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, June 9, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s explores large-scale works of art by Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, Sam Gilliam, and Al Loving, within the context of highly-charged debates of the early 1970s about aesthetics, politics, race, and feminism. This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art. UMMA docents will help visitors look through the lens of the four artists’ works to explore the aesthetic choices inherent in abstraction as well as the acts of staining, pouring, draping, —or even taking apart the wall itself—within this charged political context.

UMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:

Lead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

Exhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s, artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. During these decades, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction, Color, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.

In celebration of UMMA’s new Power Family Program for Inuit Art, the Museum presents a special exhibition of two incredible, intertwining stories. One traces the development of contemporary Inuit art in the Canadian Arctic from the 1950s to the present. The other relates the fascinating story of the Power family’s important role in supporting and promoting Inuit art from the outset, bringing public attention to its artistic strength and cultural importance. The Power family’s collection is unusual in its strong representation of early contemporary carvings, incised drawings on ivory and antler, soapstone sculptures, and prints that evolved as Inuit artists developed their own artistic voices and responded creatively to their changing world. 

This exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. Join an UMMA docent tour to explore how the international artists in this exhibition respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, UF Office of the Provost, National Endowment for the Arts, C. Frederick and Aase B. Thompson Foundation, Ken and Laura Berns, Daniel and Kathleen Hayman, Ken and Linda  McGurn, Susan Milbrath, an anonymous foundation, UF Center for Humanities and the Public Sphere, UF Office of Research and Robert and Carolyn Thoburn, with additional support from a group of environmentally-minded supporters, the Robert C. and Nancy Magoon Contemporary Exhibition and Publication Endowment, Harn Program Endowment, and the Harn Annual Fund.

Lead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Tom Porter in honor of the Michigan Climate Action Network, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design and School for Environment and Sustainability.
