Abstract:
Industrial big data are widely available through connected cyber-physical systems, distributed sensing and the Internet of Things, which provide unprecedented opportunities for real time information sharing and integrative decision making for smart manufacturing. Meanwhile, it also brings data analysis challenges due to massive high dimensional data with spatial and temporal heterogeneity and complex functional dependencies. This talk will first present the research opportunities and challenges of data analytics for smart manufacturing. Examples of ongoing research on methodological developments and their applications will be discussed with the emphasis on information integration for data driven optimal decision making. Specifically, it includes (1) integrating computer simulation model calibration using limited physical tests with optimal robust design; (2) integrating warranty data analysis with the design of accelerated life testing for improving reliability prediction and customer satisfaction; (3) integrative analysis of process sensing signals and product quality measurements for optimal decision-making in monitoring, inferring, and controlling manufacturing processes. The related data analytics methods will be discussed, including high-order tensor data analysis for multistream functional data/images, multiscale data transforms for data dimension reduction of nonstationary waveform signals, a regularized hierarchical variable selection method for combing the two steps of sensor selection and the signal features extraction together, employing the transfer learning technique for knowledge sharing among the similar processes, SPC supervised predictive control for defects prevention, etc. Some discussions will also be given on how the developed methodologies have been applied in automotive, metal forming and semiconductor manufacturing to show the essential need for multidisciplinary integration efforts.

"Resting-state fMRI connectivity and brain co-activations" (November 1, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/55508 55508-13750121@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 1, 2018 9:00am
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Image (rsfMRI) signal correlations are widely used for charting functional brain connectivity in healthy and diseased brains, and has revolutionized our understanding of the organization of large-scale brain networks and their abnormalities in various brain diseases. However, the neurophysiological basis underlying the images-based measures of brain connectivity/dynamics remains largely elusive. In this seminar, I describe multiple research projects that promoted the mechanistic understanding of the resting-state fMRI connectivity/dynamics. Combining multi-modal recordings from animals and humans under various brain conditions, these projects provide new insight into the dynamic nature of the resting-state connectivity, and reveal the electrophysiological correlates and behavioral relevance of global non-specific components of rsfMRI correlations.

Abstract
Control as a Service (CaaS) is an emerging paradigm where low-level control of a machine (e.g., CNC) is moved from a local computer on the machine to a remote computer in the cloud, from where it is provided to the machine as an on-demand service over the internet. A machine with access to CaaS can, therefore, leverage the vast computational resources available in the cloud to run advanced control algorithms that boost its performance at low cost. CaaS also facilitates easy upgrades to the control system of a machine and enables it to become more “intelligent” by leveraging data sharing and analytics. However, CaaS raises a critical question of how to safely and reliably perform (hard) real-time control of a machine over unreliable internet connections. The field of Networked Control Systems has studied this problem for decades but has focused heavily on feedback control and stability. Conversely, CaaS is open to exploiting the immense benefits of feedforward control and techniques used by video streaming services like Netflix to deliver content satisfactorily over the internet. Is it trivial or naïve to control a powerful manufacturing machine with inertia as one would a smart phone streaming a Netflix movie? What about increased exposure to cyber threats? I will share my thoughts on these questions along with some early results gathered on a 3D printer, and I am curious to hear your thoughts.

"Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging and Therapeutics" (November 8, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/55510 55510-13750136@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 8, 2018 9:00am
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Elasticity imaging techniques aim at the detection of tissue abnormalities following an external, internal or inherent mechanical stimulation. By taking advantage of the additional depth information provided by ultrasound imaging, the local tissue response (i.e., displacement, strain and/or vibration amplitude) that depends on its mechanical properties can be imaged. After introducing methods for 2D and 3D strain estimation, examples will be shown on imaging of normal and pathological myocardium in finite-element models and in vivo murine, canine and human subjects. Elasticity Imaging developed by our group also expands to Pulse Wave Imaging for the characterization of abdominal aortic aneurysms and atherosclerotic plaques in vivo, Electromechanical Wave Imaging for the assessment of the conduction properties of the myocardium and the radiation-force-based oscillatory technique of Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI) for the characterization of breast and pancreatic tumors during tumor progression as well as after chemotherapeutic treatment.
In the second part of this lecture, therapeutic ultrasound techniques will be introduced together with application of elasticity imaging for simultaneous monitoring of the treatment procedures. Most precisely, Focused Ultrasound (FUS) for ablation of tumors substantially modifies the tissue stiffness by up to a ten-fold in order to annihilate their function. By monitoring this stiffness change, HMI can successfully detect the temperature rise and coagulation onset during treatment. An all ultrasound-based system providing simultaneous tumor detection and treatment application as well as monitoring will be described. Finally, brain applications for drug delivery through the opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for brain drug delivery in conjunction with microbubbles will be shown as well as neuromodulation of both the peripheral and central nervous system.

Abstract
Recent discussion of “big data” has focused on data, software, and methods with an emphasis on retail and personalization of services and products. Big data also has impacted engineering and manufacturing and has resulted in better and more efficient manufacturing operations, improved quality, and more personalized products. A less apparent effect is that big data has changed the way that we solve problems: the problems we choose to solve, the strategy we seek, and the tools we employ. An example of this is how the “big data” style of thinking enabled the development of a new quality assurance philosophy called process monitoring for quality. A blend of process monitoring and quality control, that is founded on big data and big models; catalysts for the next step in the evolution of the quality movement. Process monitoring for quality was used to evaluate the performance of the ultrasonically welded battery tabs in the new Chevrolet Volt, an extended range electric vehicle. Additional examples and illustrative case studies will be presented.

My lab uses neuroscience to drive artificial intelligence (AI) and in turn uses AI to study the human brain. We use models of computer vision to investigate biological vision. Some progress includes "encoding models" to predict brain responses to thousands of web images and "decoding models" to reconstruct and categorize natural videos from functional brain scans. We are now extending similar strategies to natural language processing and brain-inspired robotics. We also use neuroscience knowledge to advance computer vision. Recent progress includes the so-called predictive coding network, capable of running bottom-up and top-down computation similar to the bi-directional neural information processing in the brain. Unlike the state-of-the-art feedforward-only convolutional neural networks, the predictive coding network can unfold itself in time to generate an arbitrarily deep neural network, which learns faster and performs better despite its much shallower architecture and many fewer parameters. In this talk, I will share our recent work on combining neural imaging, recording, modeling, and machine learning, and discuss their potential applications for understanding mental functions and disorders.

Controlling mammalian cell differentiation with feedback, noise, and oscillation timing (December 6, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/57943 57943-14375314@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 6, 2018 9:00am

Mammalian tissue size is maintained by slow replacement of damaged, de-differentiating, and dying cells. For adipocytes, key regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism, the renewal rate is only 10% per year1. Using computational modeling, quantitative mass spectrometry, and single-cell microscopy, we showed that cell-to-cell variability, or noise, in protein abundance acts within a network of more than six positive feedbacks to permit pre-adipocytes to differentiate at very low rates. This reconciles two fundamental opposing requirements: high cell-to-cell signal variability so that differentiation rates can be kept very low and low signal variability to prevent differentiated cells from de-differentiating. Higher eukaryotes can thus control low rates of near irreversible cell fate decisions through a balancing act between noise and ultra-high feedback connectivity.

We have since explored how the differentiation network functions in the physiological context where hormone inputs are known to oscillate. Intriguingly, we found that a circadian signaling code is critical for restricting the rate of fat cell differentiation. Dysregulation of the circadian pattern of glucocorticoid oscillations by irregular feeding and sleep cycles, by long-term hormone treatment, or during metabolic diseases, have all been shown to cause obesity. By using live, single-cell imaging of the key adipogenic transcription factors CEBPB and PPARG, endogenously tagged with fluorescent proteins, we show that pulsatile circadian hormone stimuli are rejected by the adipocyte differentiation control system, leading to very low adipocyte differentiation rates. In striking contrast, equally strong persistent signals trigger maximal differentiation. We identify a network that combines fast and slow positive feedback loops as a unique regulatory motif that selectively suppresses differentiation for circadian pulse patterns. Furthermore, we confirm in mice that flattening of daily glucocorticoid oscillations significantly increases the mass of subcutaneous and visceral fat pads. Together, our study provides a molecular mechanism for why stress, Cushing's disease, and other conditions for which glucocorticoid secretion loses its pulsatility may lead to obesity.

Organized By: Integrative Systems + Design

Abstract
After decades of shifting production offshore to reduce labor costs, the United States has lost fundamental production skill and capabilities—the Industrial Commons—in many industries, with noticeable impacts on the ability to manufacture new advanced technology products, the national innovation system and growing adverse effects on the defense industrial base. Being the best in the world in science is important—but it’s not sufficient to create national wealth and security. We need a national strategy and investment to convert research results into successful products made in the U.S. and competitive industrial sectors. This talk will highlight the findings and recommendations made in the MForesight’s Manufacturing Prosperity report. The talk will also present a case for establishing a National Manufacturing Foundation for sustained new investment in translational R&D in engineering and manufacturing disciplines, pilot production, empowering small and medium sized manufacturers and growing the engineering talent.

MForesight: Alliance for Manufacturing Foresight, based at the University of Michigan, is a federally-funded national consortium (think-and-do tank) focused on accelerating technological innovation to enhance U.S. manufacturing competitiveness

Redesigning Manufacturing Machines, Design Tools, and Robotics for Smart Human Augmented Spatial Interfaces (February 15, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60608 60608-14917066@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 15, 2019 11:00am
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Integrative Systems + Design

Abstract
The convergence of many factors such as low-cost sensors, electronics, computing, fabrication, and more recently machine learning, aided by human interactive interfaces has created the potential to redesign our manufacturing ecosystem. I will describe three themes in our research. First is redesigning design tools and machines around humans to enabling easy access to manufacturing by non-experts. I will provide examples of transforming everyday objects to interactive objects, mixed dimensional modeling, and creating objects directly in the physical world. Second, I will show construction of reconfigurable modular robots and mixed reality interactions with new forms of distributed intelligence and an open system architecture, that can give rise to vastly new forms of smart machines, robotic structures, and functions. Furthermore, because these robots and machines can be programmed and controlled with just a mobile phone, the developers of such “low-cost” robotics and machine “apps” do not need programming experiences at all. It will transform high-tech to low-tech and make it accessible to small and medium scale industries. Third, I will demonstrate new forms of location-aware collaborative intelligence and information exchange between humans-robots and machines. In addition, new soft interface wearables will free hands to work and interact at the same time, enabling augmentation. With such possibilities, our factories can be more productive and agile by using cognitively intuitive, spatially aware, and easy to program interactive interfaces that aid the human(s)-robot(s)-machine(s) to work together. Our research directions in artificial intelligence-based human augmentation technologies will have a direct impact on workforce re-skilling programs, increasing human labor capacity, factory productivity, and agility.

Predictive Analytics for Internet of Things (IoT) Enables Systems (March 22, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62304 62304-15346464@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2019 11:00am

Organized By: Integrative Systems + Design

Abstract
The Internet of things (IoT) enabled systems have become increasingly available in practice. Examples include GM’s OnStar® tele-service system, the InSite® telemonitoring system from GE, smart home appliances and various personalized remote structural or health monitoring systems. The unprecedented data availability in such connected systems provides significant opportunities for smart data analytics but, at the same time, it reveals critical challenges. First, the high dimensional stream data with heterogeneity, diverse data types and complex spatiotemporal structure often hinders establishing a unified analytics framework. Second, individual-level data has become available in large scale and consequently, there is a pressing need for individualized modeling and prediction.

In this talk, we try to address some of these challenges through predictive data analytics methodologies designed for IoT enabled systems. Specifically, we establish non-parametric models that predict the evolution of condition/system monitoring signals through borrowing strength from historical and in-service data. These frameworks leverage on kernel methods, functional component analysis and Bayesian inference. Further, we discuss how these methods can consistently scale to big data settings. The methodologies are validated using numerical studies and a case study with real world data in the application to cloud-based vehicle health monitoring service systems.

Abstract
As one of the fundamental building blocks for realizing Industry 4.0, sensors have historically played a critical role in monitoring manufacturing equipment and processes and providing input for product quality control. With the increasing convergence among measurement science, big data analytics, Industrial Internet of Things, and system miniaturization, advanced sensing methods has continually pushed the envelope of smart manufacturing. New sensors not only acquire higher resolution data at faster rates, but also provide local computation for autonomously analyzing the acquired data towards intelligent decision support.

This talk highlights research on multi-physics sensing methods for improved observability in manufacturing process monitoring, using polymer injection molding as an example. The design, characterization, and realization of a multivariate sensor with acoustic-based data transmission capability for data transmission in a RF-shielded environment, together with advanced computational methods, are described. Experiments performed on a production grade injection molding machine demonstrate that a single multivariate sensor can outperform multiple commercial sensors in predicting the quality attributes of injection molded parts. The talk highlights the significance of integrating physics-based sensing with data analytics for advancing the science base and state-of-the-technology to fully realize the potential of smart manufacturing.

Abstract
The Nanoscale Design and Manufacturing Laboratory (NDML) at the University of Texas at Austin focuses on the design and development of novel processes and equipment for the manufacturing of micro and nanoscale devices and structures. The first half of this talk will focus on a new microscale additive manufacturing process, known as microscale selective laser sintering (μ-SLS), that has been developed in the NDML for the fabrication of 3D electronic interconnect structures with micron scale resolutions. In this process, a thin layer of nanoparticle ink is first spread onto the substrate. The substrate is then positioned under an optical subsystem using a custom built nanopositioning device. A laser that has been focused off a micromirror array is then used to sinter the nanoparticles together in a desired pattern with micrometer resolution. Another layer is then coated onto the substrate and the process is repeated to build up the 3D structure. Finally, the unsintered nanoparticles are washed away to reveal the final 3D part. This talk will present the materials science, mechatronic systems, optics designs, and process modeling used to make this additive manufacturing process capable of achieving micrometer resolution with high throughput (~63 mm3/h) over large areas (~ 50 mm x 50 mm).

The second half of this presentation will focus on two projects related to the manufacturing of high quality, flexible electronics: (1) A new roll-to-roll metrology framework for the manufacturing of flexible electronics devices and (2) A new method to precisely exfoliate thin sheets of silicon from bulk silicon wafers. These two projects represent two different approaches to solving the challenge of producing flexible electronics that can compete on performance with conventionally manufactured electronics. The roll-to-roll metrology project tackles the problems currently present in the patterning of repeatable and uniform nanoscale structures on flexible substrates by enabling process control feedback in the roll-to-roll nanopatterning process. This is done by integrating compact, MEMS-based, single chip atomic force microscopes (sc-AFMs) with high scanning speeds directly into a new roll-to-roll metrology framework that greatly increases the throughput and modularity of direct, nanometer-scale measurement on flexible substrates. The exfoliation project takes the opposite approach by taking electronic structures that have been fabricated on conventional silicon substrates and making them flexible by making the silicon layer extremely thin (<5μm). This processes uses a compressive nickel film to create a stress concentration below the top surface of the wafer and polymer film with controlled tension to propagate a crack along this stress concentration. The advantage of this process is that it allows us to cheaply take electronics that have been fabricated using traditional manufacturing processes on bulk silicon wafers and turn them into flexible electronics using just one additional processing step. The presentation will conclude with some thoughts on the future directions of next generation of electronic devices from a manufacturing prospective.

“Structural remodeling and volumetric growth in the heart”

Abstract:

Many cardiac diseases impose pressure overload leading to ventricular enlargement via the growth of cardiac myocytes and remodeling of the collagen fiber architecture. One such disease is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which primarily affects the right ventricle (RV). The effects of PAH on the functional behavior of the RV free wall (RVFW) on RV organ-level cardiac function remain largely unexplored. Computational rodent heart models (RHM) of the normal and hypertensive states can be quite valuable in gaining insights into the pathophysiology of myocardium remodeling. Recently, we developed high-fidelity biventricular finite-element RHMs using extensive data collected from rat hearts at normal and post-PAH time points. In this study, we extended our model to predict the time-course adaptations of RV under PAH from normal state to post-PAH state. Our model accounted for growth processes driven by sarcomerogenesis and collagen fibrosis, coupled with myo- and collagen fiber reorientation events. We used our model to investigate the correlations between the alterations in the wall stress, the remodeling of the RVFW microstructure, and the shape changes in the RV during the development of PAH. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to investigate the interaction between fiber remodeling and volumetric growth in the heart. Ultimately, the detailed description of organ-level remodeling patterns predicted by in-silico models such as ours could replace the traditional measures of RV dimensions and volume that often lead to gross and limited information on cardiac performance. Future directions of the research will also be presented.

“Multi-Omics Systems Biology Approach to
Vascular Biology”

Abstract:

Over the past decade, we have investigated the mechanisms associated with shear stress response in endothelial cells using systems biology approaches [e.g. 1-8]. In the most recent granting period, we have carried out longitudinal analysis of distinctive shear stress response to pulsatile and oscillatory stress corresponding to normal and disturbed flow in blood vessels. Our studies have provided fundamental insights into temporally regulated mechanisms as well as a systems-level view of stress response. Our key findings also included implications of long noncoding RNA molecules – LEENE and LINC341 - which appear to have dramatic consequences on endothelial homeostasis. The regulation by LINC RNAs entails the coupling between KLF4 and genes involved in endothelial function. In addition, we explored the interplay between endothelial cells and macrophages in atherogenesis. These studies reveal a novel mechanisms in which the transcription factor KLF4 regulates the enzyme cholesterol-25-hydroxylase and the nuclear hormone receptor Liver X Receptor. Our key findings indicate that KLF4 transactivates cholesterol-25-hydroxylase and liver X receptor, thereby promoting the synergistic effects between ECs and macrophages to protect against atherosclerosis susceptibility.

Synthetic chromosomes have the potential to revolutionize gene therapy, because they can deliver entire genetic programs. However, this strategy can succeed only if the synthetic chromosomes are faithfully transmitted to each daughter cell upon cell division. Eukaryotic cells use the kinetochore, an immensely complex protein machine, to segregate their native chromosome during cell division. We are initiating an effort to engineer a synthetic kinetochore to faithfully segregate synthetic chromosomes. This ambitious goal encompasses three aims. First, we will use bottom-up reverse engineering to yield deep insight into function and regulation of the kinetochore, potentially exposing unexpected gaps in our understanding. Second, we will identify functionally necessary kinetochore components from those that are its ‘evolutionary legacy’. This is necessary to reveal strategies for simplifying the design of the synthetic kinetochore. Third, we will establish the blueprint for designing a synthetic, orthogonal segregation machine that specifically controls the inheritance of synthetic chromosomes.

Abstract
For many years now, my students and I have developed several solutions to enable cost-effective deployments in the cloud of low-latency highly-available services. Based on this work, in this talk, my goals are two-fold.

First, I will give an overview of how some of my group's work, as well as other related research from computer science researchers, can be leveraged to enable cloud-driven control of manufacturing devices, i.e., how CS research can be used for improved manufacturing.

Second, in the context of smart manufacturing, I will describe the challenges in applying the approaches traditionally used by computer science researchers. In particular, I will argue that many of the principles that underlie use of the cloud will need to be rethought, and the domain of smart manufacturing presents an exciting new frontier for distributed systems research. I will then show some preliminary work done in collaboration with Prof. Okwudire on the application of cloud computing to the control of manufacturing machines.

“Radically Simplifying hMSC Manufacturing Scale-up and Regenerative Medicine Product Development (and Building a Business around Regenerative Medicine Manufacturing Technology)”



Abstract:

Human Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (hMSCs) and extracellular vesicles (hMSC-EVs) are leading platforms for development of regenerative medicine therapies. Multiple bottlenecks exist during discovery, product development, manufacturing process development, and cGMP manufacturing leading to timelines from discovery through first in man testing often averaging 7-11 years. RoosterBio has developed and commercialized novel hMSC bioprocess systems that are designed for rapid process development and cGMP tech transfer to radically reduce development timelines to as little as 2-4 years. Requirements for implementation of scalable bioreactor production systems will also be addressed, and data will be presented from 50L scale microcarrier-based processes with CQAs for both hMSCs and EVs.

By stimulating or recording electrical activity, microelectrode arrays implanted in the brain have created a renaissance in the treatment of neurological diseases and injuries. Likewise, these devices are an enabling technology to understand normal brain function and behavior. However, questions remain regarding the relationship between the biological response to implanted electrodes, their chronic performance, and features of their design. It is my lab’s goal to understand the basic science underlying the interaction between implanted electrodes and brain cells, and to provide guiding principles to improve device design and performance as a result. Recently, we have found novel effects of implanted silicon and polyimide-based electrode arrays on the structure and function of local neurons, including alterations in ion channel expression, synaptic transporter expression, dendritic spine density, and excitability. Results of quantitative immunohistochemistry demonstrate a progressive local increase in the expression of potassium ion channels and inhibitory transporters surrounding devices implanted in the brains of rats over time, indicating a potential shift toward hypoexcitability over the 6-week time course studied. Two-photon laser scanning microscopy in brain slice preparations revealed profound local spine loss surrounding implants, coupled with observations of reduced responsiveness to injected current during whole cell intracellular recordings, where preliminary observations indicate particularly pronounced effects surrounding silicon-based devices. More recently, we have pursued RNA-sequencing to understand the molecular identity and function of neurons and non-neurons surrounding implanted electrodes. Our results suggest a novel role of local plasticity surrounding devices in chronic signal loss and instability, and we are currently working to assess and perturb local gene expression to reveal potential underlying mechanisms.
