ABSTRACT
"Complexity in the chemistry and physics of lipid membranes as a handle to activate the delivery of cargo to cells"

Lipid materials having nanostructures that deviate from the conventional flat bilayer arrangement such as hexagonally packed lipid tubes and bicontinuous cubic phases are ubiquitous in nature. Their role remains elusive but over the years several pathologies and organelle functions have been coupled to lipid membrane structural complexity. In this talk we will discuss lipid membrane polymorphism and how it can be exploited to generate a new class of materials for the delivery of cargo to cells. We combine a number of techniques including X-ray scattering, cryo-EM, and cell culture to demonstrate that the structure of lipid nanoparticles is a powerful handle to boost the delivery of genes to cells. The simple argument that non-bilayer phases having intertwined nanoscale channels exist to increase surface-to-volume ratio might be insufficient to completely describe the experimental findings. We will show that synthetic lipid and lipid-polymer hybrid materials are able to capture many structural and dynamic properties seen in natural systems, when local heterogeneities and self-assembly out of equilibrium is taken into account.

Engineering human tissues for regenerative medicine and study of disease (October 26, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55746 55746-13777519@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Gerald Ford Library
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Tissue engineering is becoming increasingly successful with authentically representing the actual environmental milieu of the development, regeneration and disease. The paradigm of tissue engineering is related to the integrated use of human cells, biomaterial scaffolds (structural and logistic templates for tissue formation) and bioreactors (culture systems providing environmental control, molecular and physical signaling) in regenerative medicine. Living human tissues can be bioengineered from the autologous stem cells, and tailored to the patient and the medical condition being treated. More recently, the same principles are being successfully applied to the patient-specific “organs on a chip” platforms designed to recapitulate some aspects of human physiology. This talk will discuss some recent advances in regenerative engineering and modeling of disease using functional human tissues grown in lab.

Mapping the Underworld of Buried Utilities (October 31, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57188 57188-14128649@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 31, 2018 1:00pm

Records of the locations and properties of vast underground utility networks are incomplete, inaccurate, and many times unavailable. This lack of information of underground pipes poses a critical challenge to maintaining and upgrading underground infrastructure, a grand engineering challenge outlined by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). It is also a main reason for the over six million of utility interruptions every year that cause injuries, fatalities, property damages, and environmental pollutions, amounting to billions of dollars in loss. Although sensing methods such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been exploited and proven its promise, it usage in urban environment is limited because of the complexity of the underworld and its reflection on the GPR signals and image signatures. We have created new methods to more accurately determine the location and dimension of underground pipes by fusing data from utility specifications and regulations and contextual cues, termed as “virtual sensors”, and GPR scans. Algorithms have been devised to extract image signatures from GPR radargrams to guide field robots in real-time, extract spatial rules from text documents, and integrating multiple sources of heterogeneous data. Research findings have been implemented as an autonomous robotic system with the capacity of adapting to complex spatial configurations of underground networks to generate accurate, geospatial 3D pipe models. Research findings are expected to shift the paradigm of the current practice in mapping underground pipes.

Understanding the interaction of convec-tion, magnetic fields, and rotation is essen-tial to a robust understanding of stellar magnetism. These flows are at extreme pa-rameter regimes that defy our largest su-percomputers. I will discuss a number of strategies we have developed to make pro-gress on these problems, including the flexible PDE solver Dedalus. In particular, I will discuss the development of tools for Direct Statistical Simulation, a new strategy for studying anisotropic turbulent flows. I will discuss the application of these techniques to several important illustrative problems from astrophysical fluid dynamics.

About the Speaker: Jeff Oishi is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Bates College in Lewiston, ME, where he leads a research group of undergraduates. He is also Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History. He was an un-dergraduate at Columbia and did his PhD at the University of Virginia.

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.

Behaviorally Stable Vehicle Platooning for Energy Savings (November 1, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57190 57190-14128651@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 1, 2018 3:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

A cooperative vehicle platoon is a set of vehicles driving together with low in-vehicle distance enabled by the connected and automated vehicle technology. One of the major benefits of vehicle platooning is energy savings due to air drag reduction. However, as vehicles at different positions in a platoon save differently from the platooning, e.g., the lead vehicles may save little, some drivers or owners of vehicles may not be willing to join or stay in the platoon even if they are advised to do so, yielding behaviorally unstable platoons. The instability further lead to chaos in traffic flow, which is likely to bring unnecessary traffic congestions. As such behavioral side of the problem has been drawn little attention in literature, this study intends to fill this void by focusing on the drivers and owners’ economic consideration of platooning. We envision a freeway system where vehicles are capable of platooning but each platoon has limited size. A novel utility function is proposed to measure a vehicle’s benefit in platooning. Based on that, a mathematical programming model is established to find the optimal platoon formation that specifies which vehicles should be platooned together and their platoon speeds as well as positions to achieve the maximum system benefit. A benefit allocation mechanism, either charges or compensates the vehicles, is then created to incentivize them to form and maintain the desired platoon formation. The model framework is further extended to the setting with an environmental concern, where the proposed mechanism has been shown to benefit not only the vehicles, but also the whole society by bringing greater reductions on traffic emissions.

Thunderstorms and Tornadoes: Their Importance in Wind Engineering (November 6, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57192 57192-14128652@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 4:30pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Windstorms cause the most damage annually of any natural hazard in the United States. In most years, an overwhelming percentage of this damage is caused by severe convective storms (i.e., thunderstorms and tornadoes). Despite these losses, very little is known about the characteristics of these events, their relation to wind loading, and how they differ from current prescriptions available in wind load codes and standards. This talk will focus on the ongoing and future work that is occurring at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in an attempt to increase understanding of these phenomena and their impacts. Specifically, discussion will include: 1) characterization of tornado and thunderstorm winds relevant to engineering; 2) interpretation of the loading from these events and how they differ from wind load codes and standards 3) analysis of damage from recent tornado and thunderstorm events and 4) the development of a full-scale laboratory at UIUC to capture these events and address potential mitigation strategies.

Affordable and Wearable Biosensors to Understand Workers’ Mental and Physical Stress (November 7, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57193 57193-14128653@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 7, 2018 1:00pm

Occupational stress is defined as the harmful physical and mental responses that happen when job requirements are greater than a worker's capacity. Construction is one of the most stressful occupations because it involves physiologically and psychologically demanding tasks performed in a hazardous environment. Various survey instruments for measuring workers′ perceived mental and physical stress have been used, e.g., the perceived stress and fatigue severity scales. These methods can document subjects′ overall stress. However, they have several key limitations. They are subjective, invasive, and cannot be used for continuous stress monitoring. To address these issues, my doctoral research applies several signal processing and machine learning techniques to propose a comprehensive and efficient stress measurement framework by acquiring high-quality physiological signals from wearable biosensors at job sites. Results yielded a high of 80.13 % mental stress and 90.00% physical stress recognition accuracy. These results are promising given that stress recognition with sensitive and wired physiological devices in the clinical domain has, at best, a similar level of accuracy. The proposed physiological signal-based stress recognition framework is expected to help us better understand workplace stressors and to improve worker productivity, safety, and well-being through early detection and mitigation of factors that cause stress.

"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.

New Perspectives on the Piano Movers' Problem (November 8, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57370 57370-14182265@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 8, 2018 1:30pm

In 1979, Schwartz and Sharir introduced the Piano Movers' Problem --- move a piano in a cluttered home from start to goal without bumping into obstacles --- as a formalism for robot motion planning, spawning generations of research on graph search, trajectory optimization and randomized algorithms. Now, motion planning is a technology. But yet, surprisingly, there are several fundamental questions unanswered. In this talk, I will address two of them. The first, is a unifying formalism for search called LazySP [winner of the Best Paper Award at ICAPS 2018], that provides a single meta-algorithm capable of expressing several search algorithms like A*, Lazy A*, bidirectional A*, effortlessly. This formalism enables a surprisingly easy answer to a question that has been open for decades: is there an edge-optimal A* algorithm? The second is a formal connection between motion planning and machine learning, via Bayesian Active Learning [NIPS 2017, IJCAI 2018], which sets up an efficient algorithm for balancing exploration and exploitation for searching for shortest paths over graphs while exploiting the history of previous problems encountered.

Professional Engineers are problem solvers. As part of the design process, we typically work with others to design solutions to infrastructure problems, including identifying feasible solutions, evaluating the alternates, completing a design and overseeing construction. Professional engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public with the design process. However, what happens when things do not go as planned on a design project? Jon and Catherine will present a case study from a slope failure project. The design process was supposed to stabilize an existing slope supporting a roadway, but resulted in a failure of a retaining wall. The project details will be presented to demonstrate the “lessons learned” from this project and to provide insight as to what type of issues may result on a project, even when there is “sound engineering analysis” to support the design.

Roland Snooks explores the complexity of the contemporary social and natural world through the creation of objects, installations, public art and architectural projects. This work draws on an understanding of the underlying processes of formation that give rise to these contemporary conditions. The studio redeploys these processes through algorithmic techniques in the creation of highly detailed and intricate forms. We are a small, agile studio based in Melbourne that operates globally. We have an international network of expert collaborators to enable us to tackle complex and large-scale projects.

Studio Roland Snooks's work has been exhibited internationally and acquired by some of the world’s leading collections of modern art and design, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the FRAC Collection (France). The work has been published widely and is the subject of a forthcoming monograph (ACTAR Publishers - Barcelona). Roland is frequently invited to lecture and present his work internationally at the world’s leading schools of design.

We have a fascination with the impact of new technologies on form. The studio is at the forefront of new computational design processes and robotic fabrication techniques. We are focused on how to develop and leverage these innovations to create intricately crafted forms.

This seminar series is funded by a grant from the U-M Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Innovation Fund and the U-M Robotics Institute.

Organized By: Engineering Office of Student Affairs

Let’s watch a movie together! A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…
We will watch four international movies from four different countries during the Fall term. The third movie is “MNL 143”.
3rd Movie: “MNL 143”
A snapshot of the random experiences and encounters of Ramil, a minivan driver on his final trip before leaving Manila to become one of the millions of overseas workers in the Middle East. Every day for five years, Ramil has plied the Buendia-Fairview route in hopes of encountering Mila, the woman he left behind to make his fortune abroad. Hardly the most efficient way to search for someone - especially in Manila - but we nevertheless believe Ramil is the kind of guy who would actually try. -IMDb

Recent progress in solid-state high power electronics has produced compact and reliable high voltage nanosecond (ns) generators for research and industry. High-voltage pulses 5-10 kV in amplitude and a few tens of ns in duration are capable of producing highly non-equilibrium low temperature plasmas over a wide range of pressure – 0.1 Torr to 15 bar. In these transient plasmas, reduced electric fields up to kTd (1 Td = 10-17 V cm2), are typical at the propagating discharge front that initially produces the plasma. Behind the front the electric field stays high, hundreds of Td, producing high densities of excited states and radicals. This results in the high efficiency of ns discharges as a trigger for chemically active sys-tems. At deposited energies of 0.5-1 eV/molecule, high rates of energy relaxation produce fast gas heating – thousands of K during tens of nanoseconds. Excitation densities can become so high that collisions of excited species with ions, other excited species and radicals become important. A review of plasma parameters in ns discharges, from fast ionization waves (FIWs) at low pressure to filamentary nanosecond surface dielectric barrier discharges (nSDBDs) at tens of bars will be given. Modifications of discharges leading to high energy release will be discussed, as well as their consequences for plasma diagnostics and potential applications.

About the Speaker: Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia received the Ph.D. in Plasma Physics and Chemistry in 1993 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology where she was also Senior Scientist and Professor. During this time, Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia became one of the youngest Doctors of Science (D.Sc.) in Russia, receiving the Russian Federation Presidential Award for Young Doctors of Science. She is now Senior Researcher (Directrice de recherche) in the CNRS Laboratory for Physics of Plasma, French National Academy of Science. Her research interests include nanosecond pulsed discharges and fast ionization waves; kinetics of gases and plasmas at extreme thermodynamic nonequilibrium; kinetics of excited species and their influence of chemically nonequilibrium media and interaction of nonequilibrium plasmas with living cells. Dr. Starikovskaia is internationally recognized for her research in plasma assisted combustion for which she has written several review papers. Dr. Starikovskaia has authored more than 70 articles.

ABSTRACT

Structure, surface chemistry, and energetic disorder can dramatically affect excited state dynamics in low-dimensional systems. Using a combination of ultrafast laser spectroscopy, time-resolved optical microscopy, and kinetic modeling, I will show how these effects manifest in assemblies of colloidal quantum dots (QD) and atomically thin 2D semiconductors, which are promising components of next-generation photovoltaic and lighting technologies. In particular, I will demonstrate the counterintuitive role of entropy in the nonequilibrium population dynamics of excitons and charge carriers in nanoscale systems, and how these dynamics are influenced by the surface and structural organizational of these nanomaterials.

Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

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.

Zhongming Liu, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.

Medicine in the 21st century is being increasingly influenced by two concepts: Precision Medicine and the Learning Healthcare System. To broadly realize the promise of precision medicine (and health), it is necessary to use frameworks of implementation science grounded in the philosophy of the learning healthcare system to achieve robust implementation and value. This presentation will describe the implementation of a precision health program in an integrated healthcare delivery system aspiring to become a learning healthcare system. It will include early outcomes for the CDC Tier 1 genomic medicine conditions that identify significant care gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Let’s watch a movie together! A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…

“In a Better World”

Anton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark, and his work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds, he and his family are faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne, who have two young sons, are separated and struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their older, ten-year-old son Elias is being bullied at school, until he is defended by Christian, a new boy who has just moved from London with his father, Claus. Christian’s mother recently lost her battle with cancer, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly form a strong bond, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately, it is their parents who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions, pain and empathy. – Rotten Tomatoes

ABSTRACT
Recent announcements of the first ever detections of gravitational waves from colliding black holes and neutron stars have launched a new era of gravitational wave astrophysics. I will describe the science, technology, and human story behind these discoveries that provide a completely new window into some of the most violent and warped events in the Universe.

BIO
Nergis Mavalvala is the Curtis and Kathleen Marble Professor of Astrophysics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Associate Head of the Department of Physics.

She is a physicist whose research focuses on the detection of gravitational waves from violent events in the cosmos that warp and ripple the fabric of spacetime. She is a leading figure in the scientific team that in early 2016 announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors. This breakthrough and subsequent observations have ushered in a new era of astrophysics, opening a window into the violent and warped universe not visible with light.

In addition to her work on developing technologies for gravitational wave detectors since her graduate student years in the 1990s, Mavalvala has also conducted pioneering experiments to generate exotic quantum states of light and to optically cool and trap mirrors to enable observation of quantum effects that are usually manifested in the microscopic world in human-scale objects.

She is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 2010 and election to the National Academy of Sciences in 2017. Mavalvala earned a BA in physics and astronomy from Wellesley College and a PhD in physics from MIT.

ABOUT THE LECTURESHIP
The M. Alten Gilleo Distinguished Lectureship in Optical Sciences and Optoelectronics brings the world’s top researchers in the field of optics and optoelectronics to Michigan. The Lectureship was established by Anita Gilleo (BS Lit ‘44) in honor of her brother, Mathias Alten Gilleo (BSE EE ‘44). Alten Gilleo made significant contributions to optics and solid state physics throughout his career, and worked in some of the most advanced research labs of his time.

MIPSE Seminar | Deconstructing Integrated High Energy Density Physics Experiments into Fundamental Models for Validation (December 5, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53759 53759-13459393@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 5, 2018 3:30pm

While the march towards achieving indirectly driven iner-tial confinement fusion (ICF) at the National Ignition Facil-ity has made great progress, experiments show that mul-tidimensional effects dominate implosion performance. Low mode implosion symmetry and hydrodynamic insta-bilities seeded by capsule mounting features are two lim-iting factors for implosion performance. These factors have a sizeable impact on ICF performance due to the high convergences needed for high fusion gains. Physics models in the codes that are “good enough” at low con-vergences may not be accurate enough for high conver-gence ICF implosions. When applying large complex simu-lations to ICF problems, one may ask “what is the domain of validity for the models that make up the simulations.” A major challenge in high energy density science is code or model validation due to the integrated nature of ex-periments and the extreme experimental conditions. De-signing experiments to isolate and validate models is im-portant, as well as obtaining data to determine the confi-dence in the models as one moves to parameters where experimental data does not exist. This presentation will discuss the challenges, a framework for validating models, and the extrapolation beyond experimental data.

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
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

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.

AAOSA-OSUM Seminar: Using Relativistic Intensity Laser Pulses to Generate Huge Magnetic Fields and a Magnetic Reconnection Geometry (December 6, 2018 4:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57969 57969-14383879@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 6, 2018 4:10pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: The Optics Society at the University of Michigan (OSUM)

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics technique of chirped pulse amplification (CPA) can be used to
produce light pulses that can be focused to intensities where the electric field oscillates electrons at
relativistic velocities. The currents due to the relativistic electrons can generate huge, dynamic fields within a laboratory plasma. Plasma dynamics in astrophysical plasmas are strongly impacted by magnetic field topology. However, direct measurements of the outer space plasma conditions and fields are challenging, so laboratory studies of magnetic dynamics and reconnection provide an important platform for testing theories and characterizing different regimes. The extremely energetic class of astrophysical phenomena - including high-energy pulsar winds, gamma ray bursts, and jets from galactic nuclei - have plasma conditions where the energy density of the magnetic fields exceeds the rest mass energy density (σ_cold = B^2/(μ_0 n_e m_e c^2) > 1, the cold magnetization parameter). I will show experimental measurements, along with numerical modeling, of short-pulse, high-intensity laser-plasma interactions that produce extremely strong magnetic fields (>100 T) in a plasma such that σcold > 1. The generation and the dynamics of these magnetic fields under different target conditions was studied, and relativistic intensity laser-driven, magnetic reconnection experiments were performed. I’ll describe how X-ray imaging allows the observation of the fast electron dynamics. Evidence of magnetic reconnection was identified by the plasma’s X-ray emission patterns, changes to the electron spectrum, and by measuring the reconnection timescales.

Velocity Selective Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Imaging at 3T and 7T (December 10, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58023 58023-14392479@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 3:00pm
Location: Gerstacker Building
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Purpose: Hemodynamic parameters, such as perfusion, are key indicators of organ function. Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) allows us to perform perfusion measurements without injection of exogenous tracers. The Purpose of this thesis is to implement and improve a Fourier-Transform based Velocity Selective Inversion (FT-VSI) pulse train for Velocity-Selective Arterial Spin Labeling (VSASL) on a 7 T Scanner. Additionally, to perform Abdominal perfusion Imaging using VSASL on a 3T Scanner.



Methods: The FT-VSI was calibrated and simulated to check for velocity profiles. It's sensitivities to B0/B1 inhomogeneity and gradient imperfections such as eddy currents were evaluated through phantom studies. A flow phantom was used to test for inversion efficiency . At 3T, a velocity selective saturation(VSS) pulse was used to image Kidney and Spinal Cord blood perfusion. The tracer kinetic properties of VSS pulses for renal and spinal cord perfusion were characterized.



Results: Phantom results of the proposed FT-VSI pulse train demonstrated high correlation to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. A high T2* decay was observed at 7T. Through Simulations, the FT-VSI was improved for higher velocity selectivity and shorter length of pulse to counteract this decay. Eddy current effects were highly controllable by introducing gaps between consecutive gradient pulses. At 3T, ASL images collected at various labeling delays after the VSS pulse. ASL values such as blood volume(BV), Blood Flow(BF), Bolus Arterial Transit time (ATT) and bolus width were estimated by fitting a two compartment models. The Kidney perfusion values (Medulla and cortex) were in agreement with literature values. Although Lower perfusion and blood volume in the spinal cord resulted in poor fits, Spinal cord flow noticeably did not experience a delay in the label arrival



Conclusion: A FT-VSI pulse train was demonstrated on a 7T to be a suitable labeling module for VSASL with robustness of velocity selective profile to gradient imperfections but not to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. Application of velocity selective pulses for abdominal imaging were demonstrated at 3T.

Therapeutic benefit of scaffolds that capture metastatic tumor cells in vivo (December 11, 2018 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/57815 57815-14314713@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 11, 2018 10:00am

For most cancers, the formation of distant metastasis is the point at which clinical treatment shifts from curative intent to extending progression free survival. Physicians are currently unable to diagnose metastasis until disseminated tumor cells affect the function of a target organ as a secondary tumor. This dissertation describes a novel approach where implantable biomaterial scaffolds are used to recruit metastatic tumor cells for early detection prior to colonization of solid organs. This recruitment of tumor cells to a defined site can not only serve as a platform for detection, but can also have therapeutic effects and be used as a platform to study metastatic processes. This dissertation describes work in each of these three areas including using an implantable biomaterial scaffold for early detection, therapeutic benefit, and a platform to study metastasis. The therapeutic benefit of scaffolds was demonstrated by scaffold implantation significantly enhancing disease-free survival in a murine model of triple negative breast cancer. Myeloid derived suppressor cells were the key population of immune cells whose capture at the scaffold and reduction in the spleen and primary tumor lead to enhanced survival. In an effort to probe the contributions of various immune cell types to the formation and maintenance of the pre-metastatic and metastatic niche in vivo, a gene delivery approach was utilized to alter the immune microenvironment of the scaffold and investigate the recruitment of tumor cells, finding reduced immune and tumor cell recruitment with IL-10 delivery and developing a model of tumor cell recruitment that is dependent upon the proportion of each immune cell type in the niche. Additional efforts to use the scaffold to study metastasis included studying scaffold captured tumor cells relative to tumor cells derived from other locations. Scaffold captured tumor cells were a highly aggressive population of metastatic tumor cells similar to those found in a metastatic lung, underscoring the use of the scaffold as a sampling location for metastatic disease that is reflective of tumor cell phenotype in solid organs. Next, biomaterial scaffolds were also validated in transgenic models of both breast and pancreatic cancer to identify immune dysregulation as a function of tumor burden, recruit tumor cells, and to reduce tumor burden. Finally, non-invasive ultrasound imaging and subsequent spectral analysis techniques were applied to identify changes in the scaffold associated with tumor burden and tumor cell recruitment. Taken together, this body of work supports that the implantable biomaterial scaffold technology provides a robust and novel approach for the early detection of metastatic disease in both breast and pancreatic cancer, therapy to divert both pre-metastatic niche forming immune cells and tumor cells themselves to an ectopic site and away from solid organs, and as a platform to study mechanisms of the pre-metastatic niche and metastasis.

ASTRACT

"Biologically fabricated materials composed of engineered biofilm matrix proteins"

The intersection between synthetic biology and materials science is an under explored area with great potential to positively affect our daily lives, with applications ranging from manufacturing to medicine. My group is interested in harnessing the biosynthetic potential of microbes, not only as factories for the production of raw materials, but as fabrication plants that can orchestrate the assembly of complex functional materials. We call this approach “biologically fabricated materials”, a process whose goal is to genetically program microbes to assemble materials from protein-based building blocks without the need for time consuming and expensive purification protocols or specialized equipment. Accordingly, we have developed Biofilm Integrated Nanofiber Display (BIND), which relies on the biologically directed assembly of biofilm matrix proteins of the curli system in E. coli. We demonstrate that bacterial cells can be programmed to synthesize a range of functional materials with straightforward genetic engineering techniques. The resulting materials are highly customizable and easy to fabricate, and we are investigating their use for practical uses ranging from bioremediation to engineered therapeutic probiotics.

Sinking Cities: Documenting the realities of climate change in cities around the world (December 18, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/57458 57458-14193579@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 18, 2018 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.
