Metalevel Motion Planning for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Metrics Definition and Algorithm Selection (January 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81051 81051-20838703@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 26, 2021 2:00pm

A diverse suite of manned and unmanned aircraft will occupy future urban airspace. Flight plans must accommodate specific aircraft characteristics including physical volume with safety zone clearance, landing/takeoff procedures, kinodynamics, and a wide range of flight environments. No single motion planner is applicable across all possible aircraft configurations and operating conditions. This dissertation proposes the first motion planning algorithm selection capability with application to small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) multicopters operating in and over a complex urban landscape.

Fail-safe studies are presented to improve on contemporary "fly-home" or automatic landing protocols. Three alternative data-driven fail-safe protocols are presented for multicopter UAS urban flight, focusing on building rooftops as safe urban landing sites. In the first fail-safe strategy, the multicopter identifies, generates, and follows a flight plan to the closest available rooftop suitable for landing. In the second supervisory fail-safe strategy, the multicopter examines rooftops en route to a planned landing site, diverting to a closer, clear landing site when possible. In the third fail-safe strategy, the multicopter cannot preplan a safe landing site due to missing landing site data. In this case, the multicopter executes a coverage path to explore the area and evaluate overflown rooftops to find a safe landing site. These three fail-safe algorithms integrate map generation, flight planning, and area coverage capabilities.

The motion planning algorithm selection problem (ASP) requires qualitative and quantitative metrics to inform the ASP of user/agent, algorithm, and configuration space preferences and constraints. Urban flight map-based, path-based, and software-based cost metrics are defined to provide insights into the properties of the urban canyon needed to construct safe and efficient flight plans. Map-based metrics describe the operating environment by constructing a collection of GPS/Lidar navigation performance, population density, and obstacle risk exposure metric maps. Path-based metrics account for a vehicle's energy consumption and distance traveled. Software-based metrics measure memory consumption and execution time of an algorithm. Metric maps were analyzed in-depth with path-based and software-based metrics utilized in Monte Carlo and ASP studies.

An algorithm portfolio consisting of geometric (Point-to-Point: PTP), graph-based (A* variants), and sampling-based (BIT* variants) motion planners were considered in this work. Path cost, execution time, and success rate benchmarks were investigated using Monte Carlo problem instances with A* "plus" producing the lowest cost paths, PTP having the fastest executions, and A* "dist" having the best overall success rates. The BIT* variant paths typically had higher cost but their success rate increased relative to altitude. The problem instances and metric maps informed two new machine learning solutions for urban small UAS motion planning ASP. Rule-based decision trees were simple to construct but unable to capture both complex cost metrics and algorithm properties. The investigated neural network-based ASP formulations produced promising results, with a hybrid two-stage selection scheme having the best algorithm selection accuracy, laying the seeds for future work.

The most significant innovation of this dissertation is motion planning ASP for UAS. Non-traditional open-source databases also advance the field of data-driven flight planning, contributing to fail-safe UAS operations as well as ASP. Path planning algorithms integrated a new suite of diverse cost metrics accompanied by a novel multi-objective admissible heuristic function. Neural network and decision tree ASP options were presented and evaluated as a first-case practical approach to solving the motion planning ASP for small UAS urban flight.

Computation has revolutionized how modern science is done. Modern scientists use computational techniques to reduce mountains of data, to simulate impossible experiments, and to develop intuition about the behavior of complex systems. Much of the research completed by modern scientists would be impossible without the use of computation. And yet, while computation is a crucial tool of practicing scientists, most modern science curricula do not reflect its importance and utility. In this talk, I will discuss the urgent need to construct such curricula and present research that investigates the challenges at a variety of scales from the large (institutional structures) to the small (student understanding of a concept). I will discuss how the results of this research can be leveraged to facilitate the computational revolution in science education. This research will help us understand and develop institutional incentives, effective teaching practices, evidence-based course activities, and valid assessment tools. This work has been supported by Michigan State University’s CREATE for STEM Institute, the National Science Foundation, the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT), the Norwegian Research Council, and the Thon Foundation.

Abstract: Massively parallel single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) has opened the way to systematic tissue atlases in health and disease, but as the scale of data generation is growing, so is the need for computational pipelines for scaled analysis. We developed Cumulus, the first comprehensive cloud-based framework, to address the big data challenge arising from sc/snRNA-seq analysis. Cumulus combines the power of cloud computing with improvements in algorithm and implementation to achieve high scalability, low cost, user-friendliness and integrated support for a comprehensive set of features. We benchmark Cumulus on the Human Cell Atlas Census of Immune Cells dataset of bone marrow cells and show that it substantially improves efficiency over conventional frameworks, while maintaining or improving the quality of results, enabling large-scale studies.

In recent years, biologists have found that sc/snRNA-seq alone is not enough to reveal the full picture of how cells function and coordinate with each other in a complex tissue. They begin to couple sc/snRNA-seq with other common data modalities, such as single-cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq), single-cell Immune Repertoire sequencing (scIR-seq), spatial transcriptomics and mass cytometry. This data coupling is called single-cell multimodal omics. As it is becoming a new common practice, new analysis needs emerge along with two major computational challenges: big data challenge and integration challenge. The big data challenge requires us to develop scalable computational infrastructure and algorithms to deal with the ever-growing large datasets produced from the community. The integration challenge requires us to design new algorithms to enable holistic integration of heterogeneous data from different modalities. In the last part of my talk, I will discuss my team’s efforts and plans to develop Cumulus as an integrated data analysis framework for scaled single-cell multimodal omics.

Single-cell multimodal omics has the potential to provide a more comprehensive characterization of complex multicellular systems than the sum of its parts. As the datasets produced from the community keep growing substantially, the enhanced Cumulus will continue playing an important role in the effort to build atlases of complex tissues and organs at higher cellular resolution, and in leveraging them to understand the human body in health and disease.

Seminar Abstract:

My research program, the Precision Immune Microenvironment (PIM) Lab, will create a minimally invasive toolset for monitoring immune responses within tissues. In my research seminar I will begin by briefly discussing the work I performed with Dr. Themis Kyriakides as a PhD student at Yale - strategies to manipulate the early stages of the foreign body response (FBR) to implanted materials. I will next discuss my work as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan with Dr. Lonnie Shea. I focus on harnessing the chronic phase of the FBR, as a tool to monitor the immune system. I use biomaterial-based immunological niches to provide insights into the phenotype of innate immune cells that control disease activity. Cells harvested from these niches exhibit differential gene expression sufficient to monitor disease dynamics and to gauge the effectiveness of treatment. I will then discuss work developing sensors for secreted proteins to non-invasively measure protein expression in vivo via luminescence and FRET. I will conclude my talk with a brief discussion of my planned research
program that aims to leverage my materials and immune engineering experience to harness bio-responsive materials as translatable tools for real-time monitoring of tissue immunity.

Abstract:
Understanding intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH), in particular identifying the presence of subclonal populations of cancer cells that may respond differently to treatments, is key to support precision medicine approaches. Capturing ITH from genomic measures raises however a number of computational challenges. In this talk I will present CloneSig, a method to infer ITH from "bulk" genomic data, in particular whole-exome sequencing data, and capture changes in mutational processes active in different subclones. I will then discuss the promises of single-cell genomics and some challenges it raises, in particular to transform raw count data into useful representations, integrate heterogeneous modalities, and learn gene regulation.

Short bio: Jean-Philippe Vert has been a research scientist at Google Brain in Paris and adjunct researcher at PSL University Mines ParisTech since 2018. He graduated from Ecole Polytechnique and holds a PhD in mathematics from Paris University. He was research professor and the founding director of the Centre for Computational Biology at Mines ParisTech from 2006 to 2018, team leader at the Curie Institute on computational biology of cancer (2008-2018), visiting scholar at UC Berkeley (2015-2016), and professor at the department of mathematics of Ecole normale supérieure in Paris (2016-2018).
His research interest concerns the development of statistical and machine learning methods, particularly to model complex, high-dimensional and structured data, with an application focus on computational biology, genomics and precision medicine. His recent contributions include new methods to embed structured data such as strings, graphs or permutations to vector spaces, regularization techniques to learn from limited amounts of data, and computationally efficient techniques for pattern detection and feature selection.
He is also working on several medical applications in cancer research, including quantifying and modeling cancer heterogeneity, predicting response to therapy, and modeling the genome and epigenome of cancer cells at the single-cell level.

Seminar Abstract:
Two major challenges to the translation of cellular-based tissue-engineered therapies are the lack of adequate oxygen support post-implantation and the need for systemic immunosuppression to halt the strong inflammatory and immunological response of the host. As such, strategies that aim at addressing oxygen demand, and local immunological responses can be highly beneficial in the translation of these therapies. In this seminar, I will focus on two biomaterial strategies to create a more favorable transplant niche for pancreatic islet transplantation. The first half will describe an in-situ oxygen-releasing biomaterial fabricated through the incorporation of solid peroxides in a silicone polymer. The implementation of this localized, controlled and sustained oxygen-generator mitigates the activation of detrimental hypoxia-induced pathways in islets and enhances the potency of extrahepatic 3D islet- loaded devices in a diabetic animal model. In the second part, I will focus on engineering synthetic biomaterials for the delivery of immunomodulatory signals for transplant acceptance. Biomaterial carriers fabricated with polyethylene glycol microgels are used to deliver immunomodulatory signals to regulate the local microenvironment and prevent allograft rejection in a clinically relevant pre-clinical transplant model. The use of synthetic materials as an off-the-shelf platform, without the need for manipulating the biological cell product, improves the clinical translatability of this engineered approach. Designing safer, responsive biomaterials to boost the delivery of targeted therapeutics will significantly reinvigorate interventional cell-based tissue-engineered therapies.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

I examine the impact of the COVID-19 shock on parents’ labor supply during the initial stages of the pandemic. Using difference-in-difference estimation and monthly panel data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), I compare labor market attachment, non-work activity, hours worked, and earnings and wages of those in areas with early school closures and stay-in-place orders with those in areas with delayed or no pandemic closures. While there was no immediate impact on detachment or unemployment, mothers with jobs in early closure states were 68.8 percent more likely than mothers in late closure states to have a job but not be working as a result of early shutdowns. There was no effect on working fathers or working women without school age children. Mothers who continued working increased their work hours relative to comparable fathers; this effect, however, appears entirely driven by a reduction in fathers’ hours worked. Overall, the pandemic appears to have induced a unique immediate juggling act for working parents of school age children. Mothers took a week of leave from formal work; fathers working fulltime, for example, reduced their hours worked by 0.53 hours over the week. While experiences were different for mothers and fathers, each are vulnerable to scarring and stunted opportunities for career growth and advancement due to the pandemic.

Misty Heggeness is Principal Economist and Senior Advisor for Evaluations and Experiments at the U.S. Census Bureau. Dr. Heggeness has a PhD from the University of Minnesota. She has worked as a research economist in the U.S. federal government since 2010 and also held positions at the National Institutes of Health and the US Department of Labor. She teaches a course on policy analysis and evaluation at the University of Maryland. Her research focuses on survey response quality, poverty & inequality, gender, and the high skilled workforce and has appeared in outlets like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Nature, and Science. At the Census Bureau, she leads a high-profile initiative to integrate the Census Bureau’s major frames and co-leads a 2020 administrative records census project.

Abstract:
A long-range plan for DOE Fusion Energy Sciences has been created to accelerate the development of fusion energy and advance plasma science. This plan is based on substantial input from the re-search community, which conveyed a wealth of creative ideas and its passion to accelerate fusion energy development and advance plasma science over an intensive two-year process. The FESAC Long Range Planning Report provides a decade-long vision for the field of fusion energy and plasma science, presenting a path to a promising future of new scientific discoveries, industrial applications, and ultimately the delivery of fusion energy.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract: The increasing omics data and advanced AI technology present a great opportunity for novel biomarker-driven cancer therapies. My talk will cover two parts. First, I will introduce DrBioRight, a natural language-oriented and AI-driven analytic platform for omic data analysis. This platform allows users to perform analysis directly through human languages and it improves the performance through adaptive learning. Armed with NLP and AI technologies, this analytic will maximize the utility of omics data and lead to a new paradigm for biomedical research. Second, I will discuss our recent work on enhancer RNAs. We show that the eRNAs provide explanatory power for cancer phenotypes beyond that provided by mRNA expression through resolving intratumoral heterogeneity with enhancer cell-type specificity. Our study provides a high-resolution map of eRNA loci through which enhancer activities can be quantified by RNA-seq, enabling a broad range of biomedical investigations.

Bio: Dr. Liang is a Barnhart Family Distinguished Professor in Targeted Therapies and the Deputy Chair of Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He is also a professor in the Department of Systems Biology. He received his B.S. in chemistry from Peking University (China) in 2001 and Ph.D. in quantitative and computational biology from Princeton University (NJ, USA) in 2006. Dr. Liang then finished his postdoctoral training in evolutionary and computational genomics at the University of Chicago. He joined MD Anderson Cancer Center as Assistant Professor and started his own group in 2009.
At MD Anderson, Dr. Liang’s group focuses on bioinformatics tool development, integrated cancer genomic analysis, regulatory RNA regulation/modification, and cancer systems biology. His systematic studies on enhancer regulation, RNA editing, functional proteomics, sex effects, and driver mutations in cancer have generated profound impacts on the biomedical research community and attracted wide attention such as The Wall Street Journal and Newsweek. The bioinformatics tools his group developed (such as TCPA, TANRIC, FASMIC, DrBioRight) collectively have >110,000 active users worldwide. Since 2010, he has published >140 papers total citation >25,000 times), including 41 corresponding-author papers in top journals such as Cell, Cancer Cell, Nature Genetics, Nature Biotechnology, and Nature Methods.
Dr. Liang has taken leadership roles in large cancer consortium projects, including chair of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) PanCanAtlas working groups, one co-leader of International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Pan-Cancer Whole Genome Analysis Project, and one co-chair of NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) QC working group. He won several awards including MD Anderson R. Lee Clark Fellow Award (2014), the University of Texas System STARS Award (2015), MD Anderson Faculty Scholar Award (2018), and AACR Team Science Award (2020). He is an elected Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Managing Sport Equipment Technological Advancements (February 16, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81759 81759-20951380@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Office of Research

All sports depend, to some extent, on equipment, and advances in equipment have the potential to shift an athlete's performances independent of their training and skill. This technological tension has recently shaken the sport of running in the form of shoe advances, but many other sports have experienced and managed these same strains, including swimming, cycling, tennis, speed skating, and many more. This seminar will explore how technological developments within a sport, and the associated performance advantages they afford, impact that sport sociologically. This panel will bring perspectives related to product availability and athlete sponsorship ties, cultural perception and understanding of performance, and developmental implications across myriad levels of sport (e.g., youth, Olympic, masters). This discussion will aim to inform our understanding of what is to be gained, what might be lost, and what can be managed as sport evolves with technological developments.

In 2020, we witnessed several examples of social injustice and social unrest. As human beings and engineers, we must decide how we want to respond to what happened and how we want to move forward. Calls to improve our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have coincided with the call to update our overall engineering curriculum. Over the years, several initiatives have been launched to address such issues, which primarily attempt to address perceived inadequacies in underrepresented students. However, scarce efforts have been developed to address the engineering culture that has limited the full participation of women and people of color in engineering. Furthermore, few of us in engineering have the knowledge, skills, or ability to productively engage with issues leading to the marginalization and social unrest. Rarely do we dare to apply our problem-solving or critical thinking approaches to how to educate or improving DEI. As a result, the goal of this talk is to provide engineers with language to have an honest conversation about our individual and collective response to the inequity in engineering and realign our actions to improve engineering education. This impactful workshop will provide definitions and practical examples of key DEI concepts in engineering based on holistic interdisciplinary research.

Abstract: The human genome sequence folds in three dimensions (3D) into a rich variety of locus-specific contact patterns. Despite growing appreciation for the importance of 3D genome folding in evolution and disease, we lack models for relating mutations in genome sequences to changes in genome structure and function. Towards that goal, we discovered that the organization of gene regulatory domains within chromosomes and the specific sequences that sit at boundaries between domains are under strong negative selection in the human population and over primate evolution. Motivated by this signature of functional importance, we developed a deep convolutional neural network, called Akita, that accurately predicts genome folding from DNA sequence alone. Representations learned by Akita underscore the importance of the structural protein CTCF but also reveal a complex grammar beyond CTCF binding sites that underlies genome folding. Akita enabled rapid in silico predictions for effects of sequence mutagenesis on the 3D genome, including differences in genome folding across species and in disease cohorts, which we are validating with CRISPR-edited genomes. This prediction-first strategy exemplifies my vision for a more proactive, rather than reactive, role for data science in biomedical research.

Our nation is poised to invest billions of dollars to remain the leader in artificial intelligence as well as quantum computing. This investment is critically needed to reinvigorate the science that will shape our future.

In order to get the most from this investment, we have to create an environment that will produce innovations that are not just technical advancements but will also benefit and uplift everybody in our society. We are increasingly seeing how AI is having a pervasing impact on our lives, both for good and for bad.

This talk will explore the causes of systemic inequality in AI, the impact of this inequity within the field of AI and across society today, and offer thoughts for the next wave of AI inference systems for robotics that could provide introspectability and accountability. Ideas explored build upon the BlackInComputing.org open letter and "Before we put $100 billion into AI…" opinion.

Equal opportunity for anyone requires equal opportunity for everyone.

This semester, we are excited to offer three events as follow-ups to the Six Diversity Myths articles, starting with Professor Jenkins' on inequality in AI. Our February and March DEI lectures will include faculty and an alum from the articles, and the EnginTalk will feature CoE students.

Engineers are charged with devising solutions to a myriad of societal challenges. These challenges are not one-size-fits-all, and neither are their optimal solutions. To best serve society, we must educate, graduate, and employ engineers from diverse backgrounds and engage them in equitable and inclusive problem solving with, not just for, the communities they serve.

With examples from her research and leadership roles, Dr. Pearson will present strategies for accomplishing this rooted in her call to REDEFINE engineering education:

RE-image who we see as engineers and what we see as engineering;
DE-silo education and problem solving; and
FINE-tune climate and culture in academia and practice.

This is the first of three seminars hosted by the Civil and Environmental Engineering Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and the Pelham Scholars Program.

Abstract:

Biomedical research disciplines are awash in data. These data, generated by new technologies as well as old approaches, provide the opportunity to systematically extract biological patterns that were previously difficult to observe. I’ll share vignettes focusing on three areas: 1) how we can use large-scale public data to better understand data for which few observations are available; 2) some work to understand why large-scale integrative analyses are beneficial; and 3) how machine learning can help to produce more datasets suitable for integration while maintaining participant privacy.

Dr. Casey Greene is an Associate Professor of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Director of the Childhood Cancer Data Lab, powered by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. His lab develops machine learning methods that integrate distinct large-scale datasets to extract the rich and intrinsic information embedded in such integrated data. This approach reveals underlying principles of genetics, cellular environments, and cellular responses to that environment. Casey’s devotion to the analysis of publicly available data doesn’t stop in the lab. In 2016, Casey established the “Research Parasite Awards” after an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine deemed scientists who analyze other scientists’ data “research parasites.” These honors, accompanied by a cash prize, are awarded to scientists who rigorously reanalyze other people’s data to learn something new.

Abstract: COVID Moonshot is an international consortium aiming to discover patent-free oral antiviral against SARS-CoV-2, targeting the main protease. Operating under an open science ethos, we make all data and structures publicly available, and crowdsource molecule designs from the community. In less than a year, we went from fragment hits to nanomolar leads in biochemical and antiviral assays. In my talk, I will discuss Moonshot’s journey towards orally bioavailable, non-covalent, and non-peptidomimetic Mpro inhibitors. I will discuss how machine learning technologies have accelerated our design-make-test cycle, and the learnings we gleaned from this large-scale prospective use of algorithms.

Bio: Dr. Alpha Lee is a Group Leader in the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge. His research focuses on developing machine learning technologies that close the design-make-test cycle for small molecule drug discovery and materials discovery. He is interested in how physical and chemical insights can be integrated into the design of interpretable algorithms. Before joining Cambridge, Dr. Lee was a Fulbright Scholar at Harvard and obtained his PhD from the University of Oxford.

Autonomous and Intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems and The Era of Big Data (February 25, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81738 81738-20949394@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

As society enters the era of Big Data, and intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems begins to embrace it, researchers will rely more on data to train controllers or validate them from repeated simulations.

This talk will describe autonomous and intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and how the availability of experimental testbeds has enabled discoveries applicable for societal-scale systems - one of which is the Cognitive and Autonomous Testbed Vehicle (CAT Vehicle). It has participated in several high-profile experiments regarding heterogeneous human-driven and semi-autonomous traffic flow. Dr. Sprinkle will detail ongoing efforts that explore how collaboration with researchers in application domain fields can dramatically expand available data sets. This also provides unique opportunities for exploring the security and privacy challenges that accompany societal-scale systems.

Seminar Abstract:

In living organisms, translation of genetic information by the ribosome transforms
the information embedded in DNA into actuating components, namely proteins. Though life itself is incredibly diverse at the macroscopic level, at the molecular level, all of life uses the same set of machinery for translation - 20 standard amino acid building blocks (with minor exceptions), transfer RNAs (tRNA), and ribosomes. The convergence and association of these interdependent biomolecules is neatly captured in a table known as the ‘standard genetic code’. Even after billions of years of genetic drift, the ‘standard genetic code’ has been largely refractory to change. In this talk, I will be discussing strategies and methods for building organisms that can make and use non-standard amino acids to make proteins with enhanced or expanded function.

The way we live, work, and play is very different today than it was just a few decades ago, thanks in large part to a network of connectivity that now encompasses most people on the planet. In a similar way, today we are at the beginning of a new technological revolution: the Internet is entering the physical space – the traditional domain of architecture and design – becoming an “Internet of Things” or IoT. As such, it is opening the door to a variety of applications that – in a similar way to what happened with the first wave of the Internet – can encompass many domains: from energy to mobility, from production to citizen participation. The contribution from Prof. Carlo Ratti will address these issues from a critical point of view through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati.

An architect and engineer by training, Professor Carlo Ratti teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he directs the Senseable City Lab, and is a founding partner of the international design and innovation office Carlo Ratti Associati. He graduated from the Politecnico di Torino and the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris, and later earned his MPhil and PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK. A leading voice in the debate on new technologies’ impact on urban life and design, Carlo has co-authored over 500 publications, including “The City of Tomorrow” (Yale University Press, with Matthew Claudel), and holds several technical patents.

Panelists:

Kenichi Soga, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley

Sophia Brueckner: Sci-Fi Prototyping and Critical Optimism (February 26, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80900 80900-20818976@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Inseparable from computers since the age of two, Sophia Brueckner believes she is a cyborg. As a software engineer at Google, she designed and built products used by tens of millions. At the Rhode Island School of Design and the MIT Media Lab, she researched the simultaneously empowering and controlling aspects of technology with a focus on tangible and social interfaces. Since 2011, Brueckner has taught Sci-Fi Prototyping, a course combining science fiction, extrapolative thinking, building prototypes, and technology ethics at MIT, Harvard, RISD, Brown, and the University of Michigan. Both the class itself as well as the students’ individual projects received international recognition and were featured by The Atlantic, Smithsonian Magazine, Wired, NPR, Scientific American, Fast Company, and many others. Creating new ways to apply science fiction to the design process, Brueckner prototypes alternatives to the tech industry’s limited visions for how we live with technology. She makes both physical and digital artifacts combining software programming, digital fabrication, and electronics with traditional media. These projects challenge the norms of the tech community, whose work has enormous impact on our day-to-day lives, as well as translates the problems in ways that are understandable to the everyday user. She invites others to embody an attitude of “critical optimism” and to imagine what technological futures they might prefer for themselves. Brueckner is the founder and creative director of Tomorrownaut, a creative studio focusing on speculative futures and sci-fi-inspired prototypes. Brueckner’s work has been featured by Artforum, SIGGRAPH, the Peabody Essex Museum, Portugal’s National Museum of Contemporary Art, Leonardo, Eyeo, ISEA, TEDx, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, and more. She was an artist-in-residence at Autodesk Pier 9 and is now an artist-in-residence at Bell Labs Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). She is currently an assistant professor at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan. Her ongoing objective is to combine her background in design and engineering with the perspective of an artist to inspire a more positive future.

DEI in Engineering Pedagogy - Find Your Students (March 5, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82451 82451-21100197@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 5, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are central and defining components of pedagogy. When we don’t explicitly consider DEI in our courses (syllabi, assignments, exams, grades) we end up actively contributing to an oppressive, inequitable monoculture. One of most helpful and inclusive practices we can cultivate as teachers is to listen deeply and compassionately. Drawing from research on cognition, learning and epistemology as well as my own experience as a researcher and teacher, I have a few suggestions for how to use listening as a teaching tool. All teaching requires a contract between the teachers and the taught, and the default (historical and tacit) contract puts undue and inequitable burdens on our students. It is our responsibility as educators to change our practices to address these inequities.

Motivation and Identity as Signals of Systemic Problems in Engineering Education (March 10, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82513 82513-21114065@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 10, 2021 3:30pm

There is a well-documented history of systemic engineering education problems ranging from a persistently chilly climate to a burgeoning mental health crisis. Outcomes of these problems include but are not limited to increased attrition, decreased learning, and reduced engineering innovation resulting from a homogenous engineering population. While these measures provide concrete evidence of systemic problems, they do not provide clear targets for change or an early warning system of how systemic problems influence students before crucial decision points.

To address the limitations of existing engineering education outcome measures, measures of how students internalize engineering experiences are needed. Students' motivations for engineering tasks and identifications as engineers can fill this gap as they are contextually responsive and connected to educational outcomes such as deep learning, student retention, and task persistence. Additionally, students' educational experiences directly influence their motivations and identities.

Informed by specific theories of motivation and identity (future time perspective and engineering role identity, respectively), this presentation describes how students' motivations and identities are shaped by their engineering education experiences and shape engineering education cultures. Specifically, I will discuss the homogenization of undergraduates' motivations and identities; the connections between motivation and identity and experiences of discrimination and bias; and the identity and motivationally undermining experiences of engineering graduate students. I will conclude by discussing actionable steps to shift engineering education defaults to foster students' motivations and identities.

Biographical Sketch: Dr. Adam Kirn is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research focuses on the ways students' motivations and identities shape and are shaped by their engineering education experiences. The results of this work seek to implement evidence-based practices to create educational defaults that foster student success and thriving. Adam has a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, an M.S. in Bioengineer, and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education from Clemson University.

Abstract: Single-cell technologies have transformed biomedical research in the last few years. With single-cell sequencing, we can now simultaneously measure thousands of genomics features in a large number of cells, which provides an ultrahigh resolution phenotypic map for each individual. However, single-cell protocols are complex. Even with the most sensitive platforms, the data are often sparse and noisy. Recent development of single-cell multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics technologies further imposed additional challenges on data integration. In this talk, I will present several machine learning methods that my group recently developed for single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data analysis. I will discuss methods for simultaneous denoising, clustering and batch effect correction, single-cell multi-omics data integration, identification of spatially variable genes, generation of super-resolution gene expression, and inference of cell type distribution in spatial transcriptomics. I will illustrate our methods by showing results from ongoing collaborations on cardiometabolic disease and applications to brain and cancer data.

Despite the well-documented capability of skeletal muscle to repair, regenerate, and remodel following injury, there remain a multitude of diseases, disorders, and traumatic injuries that result in irrecoverable loss of muscle structure and function. For example, volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries are characterized by a degree of composite muscle tissue loss so severe, that it exceeds the native ability of the muscle to repair, thereby resulting in permanent cosmetic and functional deficits to the limbs, neck, or face. These injuries significantly impact both the civilian and military populations. Current treatment for VML injury involves surgical muscle transfer, although these procedures are often associated with both poor engraftment and donor site morbidity, as well as incomplete cosmesis and functional recovery. Not surprisingly, this unmet medical need has stimulated research efforts to develop new technologies for treatment of VML injuries. Recent attention has focused on development of tissue engineering (TE)/regenerative medicine (RM) technologies to provide more effective treatment options for large scale muscle injuries. A variety of preclinical approaches have been tried that include implantation of synthetic and/or natural extracellular matrices/scaffolds/constructs at the site of VML injury, both with and without a cellular component. Extant data indicate that the inclusion of a cellular component generally leads to a greater degree of functional improvement. Consistent with these preclinical results, recent clinical studies for treatment of VML injury, solely with implanted decellularized extracellular matrix scaffolds, have provided evidence for modest functional recovery but with little de novo muscle tissue regeneration at the injury site. More recently, bio-printed tissue engineered constructs and their potential applications to treatment of VML injury have been reported in the literature. While these initial clinical and preclinical observations are encouraging for the TE/RM paradigm, full structural and functional recovery has yet to be achieved, and thus, there remains significant room for therapeutic advancement. To this end, I will describe our highly collaborative efforts to boost development and evaluation of a range of implantable regenerative therapeutics (biomaterials and tissue engineered constructs) in biologically relevant animal models. The overall goal is to increase the efficiency of clinical translation of TE/RM technologies capable of more complete functional recovery following repair of VML injury.

Buildings: A Climate Solution tells the emerging story of architecture that heals the climate by storing more carbon than ever emitted: Building to cool the planet. Around the world, the theory and the practice of making “carbon smart” buildings is being developed by a rapidly expanding network of experts and innovators. Here we will explore the time value of carbon, low-carbon concrete and the new family of low-carbon building codes, and plant-based, carbon-storing materials, mapping an ambitious but practical pathway toward a built environment that has net zero operating emissions but also acts as a massive carbon sponge.

Bruce King is the author of “The New Carbon Architecture,” and has been a structural engineer for 40 years, designing buildings of every size and type all over the world. He is also author of the ASTM standard for earthen construction, the Marin County Low-Carbon Concrete code, and the books “Buildings of Earth and Straw,” “Making Better Concrete,” and “Design of Straw Bale Buildings.” Mr. King is also the Founder and Director of the Ecological Building Network (EBNet), a non-profit information resource that sponsors the BuildWell Source, an online library of low-carbon and carbon storing materials.

CCMB / DCMB Weekly Seminar Series featuring Sriram Chandrasekaran (Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering) (March 17, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82825 82825-21179592@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 17, 2021 4:00pm

Abstract: Drug combinations have the potential to greatly expand our pharmacopeia while reducing both cost and drug resistance. Yet the current drug-discovery approach is unable to screen the astronomical number of possible combinations in different cell types and does not account for the complex environment inside the body. We have developed AI tools - INDIGO and MAGENTA - that predict the efficacy of drug combinations based on the properties of the drugs, the pathogen, and the infection environment. We are also using modeling to identify drugs that work in synergy with the host immune system. Using INDIGO and MAGENTA, we have identified highly synergistic combinations of repurposed drugs to treat drug resistant infections including Tuberculosis, the deadliest bacterial infection. INDIGO also accurately predicts the outcome of past clinical trials of drug combinations. Our ultimate goal is to create a personalized approach to treat infections using AI.

Biography: Chandrasekaran received his bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Anna University in 2008, and a PhD in Biophysics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013. He worked at Harvard University and MIT as a Harvard Junior Fellow between 2013 and 2016 and became an Assistant Professor at UM in 2017. His lab develops systems biology algorithms for drug discovery. Computer models from his lab like INDIGO and MAGENTA are being used to design effective therapies against drug resistant pathogens. His lab also develops systems biology algorithms to understand metabolic regulation. The approaches that they have created (PROM, ASTRIX, DFA, EGEM and GEMINI) perform complementary functions in modeling of metabolic and regulatory networks. Chandrasekaran’s research has been published in Cell, Genome Biology, mBio, and PNAS. For his work, Chandrasekaran previously received the 2013 Harvard Junior Fellowship, the 2011 Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) International Predoctoral Fellowship, the 2014 William Milton Fund award, 2018 UM Precision Health Investigator Award, and the 2018 Distinguished Young Investigator Award from the AICHE COBRA society.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students:
$500 for U-M alumni or public
$400 for U-M students, U-M employees, or Tauber alumni
$200 for Tauber Institute students

Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 21 (noon - 4:30 pm)
Sunday, March 28 (noon - 4:30 pm)
Sunday, April 18 (noon - 4:30 pm)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for May 12, 2021 (11:00 am) virtually. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Since 2013, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Advances in machine learning have led to quite fluent natural language generation technologies. Most of our current optimizations and evaluations focus on accuracy in output. Faithful generation is considered a nice to have, a luxury. In this talk I make the argument that faithful generation is crucial to our generation technologies especially given the scale and impact NLP technologies have on people’s lives.

Mona Diab is a Full Professor of Computer Science at the George Washington University where she directs the Care4Lang NLP lab. She is also Research Scientist with Facebook AI. She conducts research in Statistical Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a rapidly growing, exciting field of research in artificial intelligence and computer science. Interdisciplinarity is inherent to NLP, drawing on the fields of computer algorithms, software engineering, statistics, machine learning, linguistics, pragmatics, information technology, etc. In NLP, researchers model language and its use, and build both analytical models and predictive ones. In Professor Diab’s NLP lab, they address problems in social media processing, building robust enabling technologies such as syntactic and semantic processing tools for written texts in different languages, information extraction tools for large data, multilingual processing, machine translation, and computational sociolinguistic processing. Professor Diab has a special interest in Arabic NLP, where the emphasis has been on investigating Arabic dialect processing where there are very few available automated resources.

As a sociologist who has been working in STEM and Engineering Education for 18 years, and who isn’t on the tenure track, Liz will share a little bit about a few different areas (Research, Evaluation, and Service) that she has focused on in her career.  Assets-based frameworks for understanding student experience are receiving more and more visibility these days and Liz’s work has used critical race theory Community Cultural Wealth (Samuelson & Litzler, JEE 2016) to understand the ways minoritized engineering undergraduates deployed their cultural assets to persist in engineering. She is also now working on further Community Cultural Wealth research with her colleagues on the PNW-LSAMP project.  She will also talk about using her social science research skills to conduct high quality program evaluation of projects focused on improving DEI in STEM.  Finally, she’ll share about the work of the ASEE Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, of which she is the current chair. CDEI is a great resource for the community and also a wonderful opportunity to develop new connections with colleagues while providing important service to the engineering education field.

Abstract: Antibodies are an integral part of the adaptive immune response, and are a critical component of both vaccine-induced and naturally-acquired immunity. The development of deep sequencing approaches in recent years has allowed us to sample a significant fraction of the diverse repertoire of B cell receptor sequences from which antibodies are made. These sequences encode a wealth of information on the somatic rearrangement and evolutionary processes that determine the contours of our antibody repertoires, and thus our ability to respond appropriately to pathogens and vaccines. Extracting this information, however, requires a careful inference approach across several different analysis steps. I will describe the computational approaches that we have taken to solving these problems, which constitute the partis software package, and describe their application in several projects, including HIV and Dengue data.

Biography: Duncan attended the University of California at Santa Cruz for his undergraduate studies in physics, completing his thesis on energy transport in condensed matter theory in 2005. He completed his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2014, working on the Large Hadron Collider at the European particle physics laboratory (CERN). His thesis described the observation of Higgs boson decays to four leptons. Since 2014, he has worked in Frederick Matsen’s lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, first as a postdoctoral researcher and more recently as a staff scientist, writing new computational methods for the analysis of B cell receptor deep sequencing data.

Tissue engineering provides a viable means of regenerating bone and skeletal muscle tissues following injuries that lead to large volumetric defects. Our lab has developed advanced biomaterial and stem cell-based approaches to promote functional recovery following volumetric muscle loss and critical-sized craniofacial bone injuries. This presentation will focus on three areas of ongoing research: (1) I will present our lab’s efforts to regenerate vascularized and innervated skeletal muscle in mice including our recent studies using human pluripotent stem cells. (2) Recently, our group completed a study focused on designing biomaterials to guide bone regeneration in situ in minipigs using intraoperative protocols for combining autologous stem cells with 3D-printed scaffolds. (3) Understanding the interaction between vascular cells and osteoprogenitors is critical for developing effective treatment methods. I will describe recent studies in which we developed a quantitative imaging platform for characterizing the spatial relationships between cell populations in the native murine calvarium. https://openbme.org/

Centering People and DEI in Engineering Research (March 26, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83189 83189-21290776@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 26, 2021 1:00pm

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are essential for a modern workforce and indicators of the development and sustainability of an industry. Construction is yet to be considered a fully diverse, equitable, and inclusive industry sector (Sang and Powell 2012) due to pervasive structural prejudices and unconscious biases. The construction workforce is dominated by men; in the US, women make up only 1/10 of the overall construction workforce (CPWR 2018) even though 50.8% of the US population are females and 21.9% of civil engineering bachelor’s degrees in the US were earned by females over the last two decades (Hickey and Cui 2020). These statistics demonstrate the lack of gender equality within the construction industry (Navarro-Astor et al. 2017).

Furthermore, challenges related to masculinity, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, language, age, and other stereotypes have negatively impacted the experience of underrepresented groups working within the construction industry. With the high turnover rate and increased labor shortage across different work classifications, construction organizations must overcome the aforementioned challenges and to achieve and sustain a safe, productive, and inclusive work environment. Inclusion is essential at work and results in everyone having the opportunity to fully apply themselves, contribute to the success of the company, and be valued for their specific skills, experience, and vision.

During the presentation, Dr. Simmons will discuss her funded interdisciplinary construction engineering and management research which centers people across three themes: DEI, interactions between humans and technology, and competency development via education and training. She will also describe her motivation for this work from her perspective as an African-American woman with decades of experience in the construction industry.

Denise R. Simmons, Ph.D., PE, PMP, LEED-AP is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering at the University of Florida. She has over ten years of construction and civil engineering experience working for energy companies and as a project management consultant; nearly 15 years of experience in academia; and extensive experience leading and conducting multi-institutional, workforce-related research and outreach. She is a leader in research investigating professional formation of civil engineers, with an increasing focus on project managers and the practical strategies that transform and sustain inclusive and productive organizations. While overseeing the Simmons Research Lab, her current research focuses on three areas: diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); interactions between humans and technology; and competency development via education and training.

While reproducibility can be an important hallmark of good science, it is not often the most important indicator. The discipline of metrology, or measurement science, describes a measurement result as a value and the uncertainty around that value. We propose a systematic process for considering the sources of uncertainty in a scientific study that can be applied to virtually all

disciplines of scientific research. We suggest that a research study can be characterized by how sources of uncertainty in the study are reported and mitigated. This approach provides a path for sharing experimental data on complex systems such as biological network processes. A serious challenge for such studies involves collecting experimental metadata and protocol details.

Bio:

Dr. Plant is currently a NIST Fellow, focusing on cell imaging and theoretical frameworks for understanding complex biological response in cells. She is an ex officio member of the NIBIB National Advisory Council, a Fellow of the AIMBE, and an AAAS Fellow. She previously served as Chief of the Biosystems and Biomaterials Division at NIST, and in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Robotic Manipulation under Transparency and Translucency from Light-field Sensing (March 31, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83269 83269-21328379@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 1:00pm

From frosted windows to plastic containers to refractive fluids, transparency and translucency are prevalent in human environments. The material properties of translucent objects challenge many of our assumptions in robotic perception. For example, the most common RGB-D sensors in robotic applications require the sensing of an infrared structured pattern from a Lambertian reflectance of surfaces. As such, transparent and translucent objects often remain invisible to robot perception. Thus, introducing methods that would enable robots to correctly perceive and then interact with the environment would be highly beneficial. Light-field (or plenoptic) cameras, for instance, which carry light direction and intensity, make it possible to perceive visual clues on object surfaces from reflection and refraction. In this dissertation, we explore the inference of transparent and translucent objects from plenoptic observations for robotic perception and manipulation. We propose a novel plenoptic descriptor, Depth Likelihood Volume (DLV), that incorporates multi-view plenoptic observations to represent depth. The depth of a pixel is then represented as a distribution rather than a single value. Through the DLV distribution, we can infer the layered translucency structure of the scene with transparent and translucent objects for robot manipulation tasks. Building on the DLV, we present the Plenoptic Monte Carlo Localization algorithm, PMCL, as a generative method to infer 6-DoF poses of objects in settings with translucency. PMCL is able to localize both isolated transparent objects and opaque objects behind translucent objects using a previously computed DLV. We evaluate PMCL by comparing x estimated poses against ground-truth poses and demonstrate the use of these pose estimates for object pick and place tasks. The uncertainty induced by transparency and translucency for pose estimation increases greatly as scenes become more cluttered. However, robot grasping does not necessarily require estimation of 6-DoF object poses. Given multi-view plenoptic observations, we propose GlassLoc to localize feasible grasp poses over a pile of transparent objects. In GlassLoc, a convolutional neural network is introduced to learn DLV features for classifying grasp poses with grasping confidence. GlassLoc also suppresses the reflectance by checking pixel consistency over multi-view plenoptic observations, which leads to more stable DLV representation. We evaluate GlassLoc in the context of a pick-and-place task for transparent tableware in a cluttered tabletop environment. We further observe that the transparent and translucent objects will generate distinguishable features in the light-field epipolar image plane, which provides information about the object location. With this insight, we propose Light-field Inference of Transparency, LIT, as a two-stage generative-discriminative refractive object localization approach. In the discriminative stage, LIT uses convolutional neural networks to learn reflection and distortion features from photorealistic-rendered light-field images. The learned features guide generative object location inference through local depth estimation and particle optimization. With the LIT pipeline, we also create the light-field dataset for the task of transparent objects recognition, segmentation, and pose estimation. We compare LIT with three state-of-the-art pose estimators to show our efficacy in the transparent object localization task. We also perform a robot demonstration by picking champagne cups up from a textureless table and building a champagne tower using the LIT pipeline.

Using Artificial Intelligence for Optimal Truck Platooning under Uncertainties (March 31, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82674 82674-21155688@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

Truck platooning is the process of using connected vehicle technology to join two or more trucks in a convoy. Platooning is associated with two, major societal benefits: environmental, through lowered fuel consumption, CO2 emission, and traffic efficiency, and safety improvement, through automated driving. Quantification of fuel consumption in platoons depends on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the system, specifically the resistance or drag force of trucks. While optimization of fuel consumption is pivotal in truck platooning, analysis of CFD is computationally expensive, especially when uncertainties are present, due to geometrical variability of trucks and platoons as well as in wind magnitude and direction.

This research proposes an artificial intelligence-based surrogate model which enables near real-time optimization of platoon configurations based on fuel consumption and impacts on pavement conditions. Attendees will learn how a deep neural network (DNN) model can be trained using data from CFD simulations that utilize high-performance computing (HPC) resources.

Abstract:

Large, deeply phenotyped cohorts are reshaping the world of environmental epidemiology. Two such “big data” resources that are reshaping how we understand environmental health are electronic health records and human cohorts with genome-wide molecular phenotyping. Each provides a unique perspective that is moving the field closer towards “personalized” insights into environmental health risks. Here I will talk about a series of studies which utilize electronic health records and molecularly phenotyped cohorts to investigate vulnerable populations, gene-environment interactions, and epigenetic biomarkers of environmental sensitivity. Together these studies are helping us to understand environmental health risks in a new light.

Short bio:

Dr. Cavin Ward-Caviness is a Principal Investigator in the Public Health and Integrated Toxicology Division of the US Environmental Protection Agency. With a background in computational biology and environmental epidemiology, Dr. Ward-Caviness seeks to understand the environmental factors which influence health in vulnerable populations and the molecular mechanisms that influence environmental health risks. The Ward-Caviness lab uses a variety of “big data” approaches, and Dr. Ward-Caviness is the PI of the EPA CARES research resource, which allows researchers to study environmental health effects in vulnerable patient populations, e.g. individuals with heart failure, using large electronic health record databases. Dr. Ward-Caviness is also interested in how epigenetics and metabolomics can serve as an early indicator of adverse health effects from chemical and social environmental exposures and in particular how molecular biomarkers can give us insight into how the environment may accelerate the aging process and thus contribute to chronic disease. By integrating molecular and clinical data, Dr. Ward-Caviness seeks to understand environmental health as a way to advance personalized medicine and reduce health disparities.
