Abstract
By looking at molecules as individuals, single-molecule experiments can provide rich details that complement and deepen our understanding from bulk measurements. The ultimate goal of most single- molecule techniques is to reveal population-level or time-dependent heterogeneity in a system of interest by directly monitoring individual particles in a near-native environment. However, confining a single molecule within an observation volume for long enough to detect a small, noisy signal – without substantially perturbing that signal – is challenging, especially in situations where tethering particles in place may restrict throughput or directly change the sample’s behavior. Since nearly all molecules possess some native charge, electrophoretic forces that are generated by application of electric fields are an attractive option for manipulating particles without physical attachment. Similarly, the electric field- induced motion of ions in the double layer near the walls of a micro- or nanofluidic channel can induce electroosmotic flow, which imparts hydrodynamic forces that can be used to manipulate particles.


Here, I will present an overview of my recent work related to two unique single-molecule techniques that employ electric fields to enable control and precision measurements of single molecules and nanoscale particles in free solution. These strategies enable concurrent multi-parametric readout of the states of those objects, which then can be used to classify their nature and behaviors. First, I will discuss the use of static electric fields to draw charged biopolymers to and through small solid-state nanopores, which can be used to resistively sense variations in chemical or geometric structure along the length of the analyte molecule. Second, I will present results obtained via an Anti-Brownian Electrokinetic (ABEL) trap, a technique in which Brownian motion is directly counteracted by active electrophoretic or electroosmotic feedback to maintain the position of a single molecule within a small confocal region. Because single molecules can be trapped for many seconds each, high-precision fluorescence measurements can report on either static or dynamic heterogeneity in their structure and interactions.


Because these techniques utilize electrophoretic and electroosmotic forces, the native charge of the analyte or surrounding medium are sufficient to achieve tether-free nanoscale confinement of single molecules and nanoparticles, providing highly versatile sensing platforms to address both applied and basic biomedical, biophysical, and biochemical challenges.

Acoustical Methods for Cavitation Control in Shockwave Lithotripsy and Histotripsy (January 25, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59701 59701-14780081@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 25, 2019 10:00am
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

The overall goal of the work presented in this dissertation is to develop acoustic mechanisms to modulate, or manipulate, cavitation events in histotripsy and lithotripsy therapies in order to achieve efficient and fast histotripsy, high shock rate lithotripsy, and active tissue protection. We investigated the effects of applying properly tuned low pressure acoustic pulses before and during therapy in order to control the cavitation threshold, the shape of the resulting bubble cloud, and the behavior and interactions of residual microbubbles.



Histotripsy is a tissue ablation method that utilizes focused high amplitude ultrasound to generate a cavitation bubble cloud that mechanically fractionates tissue. Effective histotripsy depends on initiation, control, and maintenance of cavitation bubble clouds in the targeted area. The work in this dissertation seeks to develop active tissue protection techniques by modulating the pressure threshold of bubble cloud initiation and focal sharpening using bubble suppressing pulses. We demonstrated that by applying a properly tuned low pressure pulse sequence before and/or during shock scattering histotripsy therapy, both the cavitation initiation pressure threshold and the growth of the cavitation bubble can be modified. This mechanism can be used to produce well defined lesions with minimal collateral damage. It can also be a way to actively protect soft tissue from cavitation damage during both lithotripsy and histotripsy by increasing the pressure threshold for bubble cloud initiation in the periphery zone.



Cavitation also plays a significant role in the efficacy of stone comminution during shockwave lithotripsy (SWL). Although cavitation on the surface of urinary stones helps to improve stone fragmentation, cavitation bubbles along the propagation path may shield or block subsequent shockwaves and potentially induce collateral tissue damage. At low firing rates, there is sufficient time for the majority of the bubbles to passively dissolve, while at high firing rates the per shockwave efficacy is significantly reduced due to pre-focal persisting bubbles. We investigated acoustic methods for removing residual bubble nuclei in order to avoid shielding effects. Previous in vitro work has shown that applying low amplitude acoustic waves after each shockwave can force bubbles to consolidate and enhance SWL efficacy. In this work, the feasibility of applying acoustic bubble coalescence (ABC) in vivo was examined. We further optimized the parameters of bubble coalescing pulses, and conducted a feasibility investigation of bubble dispersion by forcing the residual bubble nuclei to disperse from the propagation path away or toward the targeted area before the arrival of the next therapy pulse. These results suggest that manipulation of residual bubbles after each shockwave can be further optimized by acoustic bubble coalescence and dispersion, which can reduce the shielding effect of residual bubble nuclei more efficiently than relying only on immediate coalescence of residual bubbles, resulting in a more efficient SWL treatment.

Towards Energy Justice: Exploring the Production and Persistence of Residential Urban Energy Disparities (January 25, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59674 59674-14777924@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 25, 2019 3:30pm
Location: BBB
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

U.S. government action at the intersection of energy and equity is typically driven by either geopolitical or economic crises that affect energy prices, rather than by a comprehensive, long-term approach to addressing disparities in energy access and affordability. With one in three U.S. households facing challenges in paying energy bills, understanding residential energy disparities is key to achieving energy justice. This presentation introduces the energy justice framework and explores the production and persistence of disparities in urban residential energy dynamics,
focused primarily on energy efficiency. The results of cases studies in Kansas City and Detroit demonstrate how spatial, racial, and socioeconomic disparities manifest in urban areas, and how community-based approaches to increasing can help overcome barriers to energy justice.

Tony G. Reames is an assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability, Director of the Urban Energy Justice Lab, and a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health JPB Environmental Health Fellow. He has a BS in Civil Engineering, a Masters in Engineering Management (MEM), and a PhD in Public Administration. He is also a licensed Professional Engineer.

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

AAOSA-OSUM Seminar: All-Fiber-Integrated Super-Continuum Sources with High Power in the Visible and Infrared Wavelengths from 0.47 to 12 𝜇m (January 29, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60438 60438-14886068@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building
Organized By: The Optics Society at the University of Michigan (OSUM)

All-fiber integrated super-continuum (SC) sources are described based on a platform architecture that can operate in the visible, near-infrared, short-wave infrared, mid-wave infrared and long-wave infrared, with demonstrated SC wavelengths ranging from 0.47 to 12 microns. Modulation instability initiated SC generation leads to a simple SC source with no moving parts and that uses off-the-shelf components from the mature telecommunications and fiber optics industry. The resulting light sources are basically a cascade of fibers pumped by fiber-pigtailed laser diodes and some drive and control electronics; thus, the SC sources have the potential to be cost-effective, compact and reliable. Starting from fused silica fibers, the SC spectrum can be extended to shorter or longer wavelengths by cascading fibers with appropriate dispersion and/or transparency. As one example, we demonstrate a long-wave infrared SC source that generates a continuous spectrum from 1.57 to 12 microns using a fiber cascade comprising fused silica fiber followed by ZBLAN fluoride fiber followed by sulfide fiber and, finally, a high-numerical-aperture selenide fiber. The time-averaged output power is 417 mW at 33% duty cycle, and we observe a near-diffraction-limit, single spatial-mode beam across the entire spectral range. A prototype is described that is based on a three-layer architecture with a form factor of 16.7”x10”x5.7” and that plugs into a standard wall plug. This SC prototype has been used in a number of field tests as the active illuminator for stand-off FTIR system over distances of 5 to 25m, thus enabling identification of targets or samples based on their chemical signature.

CANCELED: Laser Wakefield Driven X-ray Sources in Canada: A Brilliant Future for Agriculture and Global Food Security (January 30, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59228 59228-14719607@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 3:30pm

Abstract: There is need for stand-alone systems for screening plants and seeds at production sites. I will discuss devel-opment of high throughput X-ray phase contrast plant imaging and screening using LWFA-based X-ray sources (30 keV-80 keV). This effort is an initiative led by the Global Institute for Food Security at the U of Saskatchewan to establish the correlation between the phenotypic expression of a plant and its adaptation to biotic and abiotic environmental stress. Intense hard X-ray beams (5-50 µJ/shot at 40 keV) are generated by maintaining the laser beam ultra-relativistic self-guiding over long gas jet (cm). I will describe experiments with our new laser facility (up to 7 J in 18 fs at 2.5Hz) and discuss empirical scaling laws correlating the X-ray photon number to the laser and gas jet parameters. High throughput X-ray phase contrast imaging and 3D tomography were realized with average X-ray power (40 keV) of 10 µW-50 µW. We demonstrated seeing very small transparent objects embedded in inhomogeneous and anisotropic thick environment (including soil). Our scaling indicates that with a 1 PW laser a 40 keV X-ray beam with a 1 mJ per shot can be produced and that 1 Gray/shot dose could be achieved in a bio-system.

About the Speaker: Jean Claude Kieffer is Professor at INRS since 1990 and fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He was Director of the INRS-EMT Center 2006 to 2011, and was the Canada Research Chair (Tier I) in ultrafast photonics from 2002 to 2016.

Traumatic injuries and diseases of the motor system affect millions of people worldwide. In Europe alone, approximately 3 million people are affected by the consequences of spinal cord injury, stroke and multiple sclerosis, for a total estimated healthcare cost of 45 billion euros per year. Treatments for these conditions are needed to ease both their growing economic and societal impact. Recent advances in neurotechnologies and brain machine interfaces have prompted promising results in laboratory settings. However, none of these approaches translated into actual clinical solutions to motor paralysis. Specifically, the scarce knowledge on the mechanisms of neural control of movement hinder the design of effective neurotechnologies thus limiting their usability for people with severe disabilities. Here I show how I developed a computational and technological framework to understand how damaged neural circuits can adapt to use electrical stimulation inputs for correcting aberrant motor behaviors I then show how I used this knowledge to design and test novel neurotechnologies enhancing motor recovery after paralysis.

Marco Capogrosso, Ph.D., is from the Department of Neurosciences and Movement Sciences at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.

Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Tissue repair requires a carefully orchestrated series of events in which
numerous cell populations, proteins, and matrix molecules participate under precise spatiotemporal control. Disruptions in these signaling events can cause aberrant healing, leading to impaired function. Biomaterials developed to deliver cells and proteins to tissue often fail to recapitulate the complex, endogenous healing response to injury, and lack the ability to control the bioactivity and local presentation of therapeutics in the injury site. I aim to engineer affinity interactions between therapeutic proteins and biomaterials to create delivery vehicles that can exert precise control over protein bioactivity and delivery. This seminar will demonstrate how novel approaches in protein engineering, computational bio-transport modeling, and directed evolution can be used to overcome the limitations of typical biomaterial delivery vehicles and advance clinically relevant treatment strategies for both musculoskeletal and central nervous system injuries.

Recent technological advancements and expanding investments worldwide place us on the cusp of a hypersonics revolution. Yet the hypersonic environment remains largely untamed, and routine operations within it, elusive. Prominent issues are difficulty in comprehensively replicating the environment during testing and a broad set of potential multi-discipline interactions that are not sufficiently understood. These obfuscate nearly all aspects of hypersonic vehicle development, and often lead to underachievement in performance objectives, catastrophic failure, or cancelled programs. The structural system plays a key role in the future of hypersonics by impacting vehicle robustness, survivability, agility, guidance/control, and propulsion. In this context, established challenges on fluid-thermal-structural interactions are briefly reviewed. A more focused discussion is then provided on a long-standing problem: namely deep understanding and modeling of loads transmitted from a turbulent boundary layer to a compliant structure. Key points covered are characteristic parameters that dominate energy transfer, the degree of coupling between turbulence and an aerothermoelastic structure, and how to efficiently capture dominant interactions for relevant thermo-structural response scales.

About the speaker...

Jack J. McNamara is a professor in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the Ohio State University. His research interests are broadly in the areas of computational fluid-structural interactions and model reduction of high-dimensional dynamical systems. A core application target is air vehicle operation in high-speed flow regimes, where there is a potential for complex interactions at both the component (fluid-thermal-structural-material) and vehicle (aero-servo-thermo-elastic-propulsive) levels. Other application areas include fluid-structural centric problems associated with ship airwakes, wind turbines, flapping wing air vehicles, automobiles, and turbomachinery. He is the director of the Multi-Physics Interactions Research Group at the Ohio State University and the seven-year AFRL-University Collaborative Center in Structural Sciences. The latter represents a partnership between the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate, Ohio State University, Johns Hopkins University, Arizona State University, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

New Perspectives on Classical Soil Mechanics (February 7, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60804 60804-14970660@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 7, 2019 4:00pm

Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The classical soil mechanics has been founded to support practice-driven geotechnical engineering solutions. In terms of fundamental soil properties, classical soil mechanics uses the basic mechanics concepts and utilizes experimentally observed soil behavior to develop application-driven engineering parameters. The microscopic mechanisms of these parameters are typically overlooked. This presentation will describe a framework that integrates computational models with characterization of the fundamental properties of soils to understand the structural and interaction bases of soil engineering parameters. The framework allows predicting soil engineering behaviors from the most fundamental characterizations. It has the potential of transforming soil mechanism into a predictive mechanics and catalyze the introduction of new sets of experimental tools for soil mechanics research.

This workshop will provide an overview of several different types of interviews and how to best prepare for each, including behavioral, technical, case, and phone/Skype interviews. We will review strategies for answering interview questions, such as the STAR format, and discuss what to emphasize when answering interview questions. Preparing for common interview questions is only one part of the process - learn what to wear and bring to an interview and how to follow up with an employer after the interview. Come learn how to ace the interview!

This is a College of Engineering event.

Future Scenario Modeling to Evaluate the Environmental Impacts of New Technology (February 8, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59677 59677-14777940@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 8, 2019 3:30pm
Location: BBB
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Estimating environmental impacts of a system at an early design stage provides insights into the overall impact of a new technology and offers the greatest opportunities for improvement. Unfortunately, products at an early stage of development lack sufficient data to perform a traditional life cycle assessment (LCA).
There has been significant research on the diffusion of innovations to understand
potential market penetration of a new technology, adopter characteristics, and displacement effects. Diffusion of innovation concepts are useful when constructing scenarios for consequential LCA and understanding how different policy or design
choices may affect overall technology adoption and market penetration.
This seminar will present methods to construct future scenarios within the context of consequential LCA to identify preferable options for new technology design or policy development. A number of case studies will be explored, discussing research projects that involve assessment of transportation fuels, carbon capture and storage, and penetration of refrigerated food supply chains in developing countries.

Professor Miller's research uses life cycle assessment and scenario modeling to identify environmental problems before they occur. Historically, our society has taken a reactionary approach to the environment. By proactively understanding the environmental issues of emerging technologies, we can identify a greater number of options and more creative solutions to avoid or reduce negative consequences. Miller's research group works on a variety of energy-related topics, including the energy-water nexus, bioenergy, refrigeration in the food system, and autonomous vehicles.

Conveyance systems for drinking water to major cities are critical infrastructure components. Most systems utilize a combination of pipelines and tunnels, which were typically built 50 to 100 years ago. Some of these systems are either susceptible to risks of rupture or failure, or are experiencing significant operations and maintenance issues. Two examples from opposite coasts in North America are the Delaware Aqueduct in New York State, and the Second Narrows Undercrossing in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the Delaware Aqueduct, a portion of the original tunnel is experiencing significant leakage below the Hudson River within a high-permeability rock mass. For the Second Narrows Undercrossing, construction of three pipelines across the Burrard Inlet at shallow depths and in liquefiable soils put them at risk for both scour/anchor strike damage and failure during the potential large earthquakes that could occur in the area. Specific issues and technical challenges will be presented for each project.

Samuel Swartz is a Principal Tunnel Engineer based out of Chicago, IL. With more than 20 years of experience in the tunneling industry, he has provided tunnel design on a number of challenging projects across North America, and in Australia and New Zealand. A native of Ann Arbor, he received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering, and a Master’s Degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Geotechnical Engineering.
Jake Facey is a Senior Staff Engineer based out of Pittsburgh, PA. His work experience spans three years. In that time, he has contributed to the design of numerous large- and small-scale projects across the United States and Canada. Jake graduated from the University of Michigan in 2016 with a focus in Geotechnical Engineering.

Wind-resilient and sustainable architectural engineering (February 18, 2019 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61162 61162-15043039@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 18, 2019 12:30pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Sustainable and wind-resilient building design requires realistic modelling of urban microclimate interaction with building at various scales (component → building → neighbourhood → city). This includes both (i) normally recurring microclimate conditions driven by thermal variations and/or normal wind for building energy performance design, and (ii) extreme climate conditions such as hurricane landfall, tornado touchdown or extreme winter for capacity and safety design. Alan Davenport’s “wind-loading-chain” links the modelling of extreme synoptic wind, exposure, aerodynamics, and dynamics to particular design criteria. Its expansion to (i) non-synoptic extreme winds such as tornadoes and downbursts; (ii) normal micro-climatic loads such as thermal loads, (iii) optimal tall building/bridge aerodynamic solutions; (iv) performance based wind design methods for emerging tall-mass-timber buildings; and (v) community level wind performance assessments, will be presented, through representative research projects from each category. The roles of computational fluid dynamics and Artificial Intelligence (deployed at SHARCNet) complimenting the physical experiments (enabled by the Boundary Layer Wind
Tunnel Laboratory and WindEEE Dome) in realizing windresilient and sustainable architectural engineering will be emphasized.

Dr. Bitsuamlak is Canada Research Chair in Wind Engineering at Western University. He serves as Director (Research) for both the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory and WindEEE Research Institute, and Western’s Site-leader for SHARCNet computing centre. His team is actively working on modelling microclimate effects to enhance the performance of buildings and cities for extreme wind (e.g. hurricane and tornado safety), and normal climate (Building thermal and energy performance).

ABSTRACT
“Towards a Holistic Understanding of Cellular Metabolism”

Measuring intracellular fluxes by 13C metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) has become a key activity in metabolic engineering, biotechnology and medicine. Here, I will present important new advances that have extended the scope of this technology to more complex biological systems, including dynamic, interacting, and evolving systems. One of the key 13C-MFA technical advances that was pioneered in our lab centers on the use of parallel labeling experiments for metabolic pathway discovery. In this presentation, I will describe several surprising new metabolic pathways that we have discovered in central carbon metabolism in microbes, including E. coli, as well as mammalian cells using this new powerful technology. These metabolic pathways have been ”hidden” from our view so far because they cannot be estimated using traditional experiments. Only through the use of carefully selected tracers and parallel labeling experiments are we able to visualize these pathways. Applications in cancer medicine, phermaceutical production, and synthetic biology will be discussed.

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

Geomechanics of Sinkholes (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60866 60866-14979678@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory

Sinkholes pose a major threat to environment, infrastructure, and human safety. They can develop via a cluster of inter-related processes, including bedrock dissolution, rock collapse, soil washing away, and soil collapse. Current practices involved in the sinkhole hazard assessment are generally of a qualitative, empirical nature and largely based on geological characteristics of the karst terrains. This talk aims to present a quantitative analysis of the interplay of multiple mechanisms involved during sinkhole development. The dominant mechanism behind sinkholes formed in rocks is the dissolution of soluble karstic rocks. Dissolution process may be enhanced by potentially aggressive groundwater acidity and the presence of caves or fissures. Specific dissolution rate of the constituent mineral (limestone or dolomite) and the surface area available for reaction are related via a chemo-mechanical coupling with the consideration of the damage-enhanced dissolution mechanism. The second part of the analysis explores the cover collapse type of sinkholes in which the critical mechanism is the growth and upward propagation of cavity. A strain-softening constitutive model is used to describe the strength evolution dependent on accumulated plastic deviatoric strain and erosion progression of soils around the cavity. The numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of expanding classical geomechanics to address intricate, often coupled processes in sinkholes.

Abstract: Classical online learning techniques enforce a prior distribution on the objective to be optimized in order to induce model sparsity. Such prior distributions are chosen with mathematical convenience in mind, but not necessarily for being the best priors. The Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle is usually used with two pass strategies, one for feature selection, and a second one for optimization with the selected features.

An approach inspired by the Minimum Description Length principle is proposed for adaptively selecting and regularizing features during online learning based on their usefulness in improving the objective. The approach eliminates noisy or useless features from the optimization process, leading to improved loss. By utilizing the MDL principle, this approach enables an optimizer to reduce the problem dimensionality to the subspace of the feature space for which the smallest loss is obtained. The approach can be tuned for trading off between model sparsity and accuracy. Empirical results on large scale practical real-world systems demonstrate how it improves such tradeoffs. Huge model size reductions can be achieved with no loss in performance relative to standard techniques, while moderate loss improvements (which can translate to large regret improvements) are achieved with moderate size reductions. The results also demonstrate that overfitting is mitigated by this approach. Analysis shows that the approach can achieve the loss of optimizing with the best feature subset.

Anyone considering a career path in academia or with an interest in teaching should consider attending - whether you're just trying to decide if that's the path you want to take, or whether you're already applying to positions. Dr. Hill will be speaking about his experience, as well as talking about the differences between working at Detroit Mercy and what we see here at UM. While anyone is welcome, the discussion will be of most interest to graduate students and postdocs.

Electric Breakdown in Thunderstorms and Plasma Technology – Chances and Puzzles (February 27, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59227 59227-14717532@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 3:30pm

Abstract: Electric breakdown of gases occurs in thunderstorms and in a wide range of applications in plasma and high voltage technologies. Fields such as plasma processing, plasma medicine and plasma assisted combustion are rapidly progressing due to new sources, diagnostics and modeling techniques. Meanwhile, our understanding of lightning physics is challenged by transient luminous events (elves, halos, sprites, jets and gigantic jets) above thunderstorms, and by high energy processes related to active thunderstorms such as terrestrial gamma-ray flashes and signatures of nuclear reactions in our atmosphere. I will explain the common ground of these natural and technical phenomena, and discuss discharge formation, from inception through the streamer discharge evolution to leaders and sparks. Key features of these dynamics are the extreme tails of the electron energy distribution in certain discharge stages, up to electron runaway from eV energies to tens of MeV in thunderstorms.

About the Speaker: Ute Ebert studied physics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, and she defended her PhD on the renormalization group analysis of long polymer chains at the University of Essen, Germany, in 1994. As a postdoc at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands, she switched to nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation, in particular, in application to streamer ionization fronts. In 1998 she gained a staff position at the Netherlands’ national research Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam. Since 2002, she leads the research group “Multiscale Dynamics” at CWI, and she is a full professor of physics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). In this double role, she has built up a wide collaboration network with numerous projects together with plasma physics, high voltage engineering and mechanical engineering at TU/e, with physicists at the Dutch radio telescope LOFAR and with a European and international network for thunderstorm observations from space (in particular, through the ASIM mission) and from the ground.

Geotechnical engineers are frequently faced with addressing seismicity issues
associated with construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. According to building codes and related guidelines, the geotechnical engineer has several methods to evaluate seismicity issues at sites where new construction is planned. The findings developed from the geotechnical engineer’s evaluation are then used by the project structural engineer in their design of the proposed building. This presentation will provide a broad overview of Mr. Jedele’s experience with the methods available in the geotechnical engineer’s toolbox and include several case histories where these tools have been used and compared with each other.

Mr. Jedele received his baccalaureate and MS degrees from the University of Michigan. He is a Past President of the ASCE Geo-Institute Board of Governors, and he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Geo-Professionals. In 1991 Larry was named the Engineer of the Year by the Michigan Section of ASCE and earlier by the Ann Arbor Branch of ASCE. He is a registered engineer in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee

Systems Analysis of Glycosylated Antibodies: Regulation, Engineering and Functions (February 28, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61373 61373-15097046@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 28, 2019 4:00pm

N-linked glycosylation is a post-translational modification that affects potency, safety, immunogenicity, immune effector functions, and clearance of various classes of therapeutic proteins including antibodies. These modifications are shaped by cellular and enzyme-mediated processes, regulated at both transcriptional and metabolic levels. Understanding how these processes operate dynamically will be vital to designing the most effective therapeutics for various treatment applications, but at the present time principled insights are limited due to the complexity of contributing factors. I will describe a systems biology approach that includes multi-dimensional omics analyses and mathematical modeling to develop a mechanistic understanding of N-glycosylation of antibodies produced during fed-batch cultures of producer cells, generating new insights that offer opportunities for more precise control of N-glycosylation. The functional role of glycosylation will then be probed in a representative study, where selective transfer of antibodies with di-galactosylated Fc-glycan profiles across the placenta from mothers to newborns is observed. This additional work can provide critical information for the design of next generation maternal vaccines engineered to elicit antibodies that will effectively enhance immunity in neonates.

Effects of Vascular Aging on Murine and Human Hemodynamics Revealed by Computational Modeling: Applications to Hypertension Research (March 12, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62022 62022-15276095@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 12, 2019 10:00am

Aging is a primary risk factor for increased central arterial stiffness which is both an initiator and indicator of cardiovascular, neurovascular and renovascular disease. It is hypothesized that an insidious positive feedback loop exists between arterial stiffness and systemic blood pressure. The clinical measurement to assess arterial stiffness non-invasively is carotid to femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (cf-PWV), yet controversy still remains. There exists a need to evaluate cf-PWV as an early diagnostic of progressive vascular stiffening and to better assess the potential effects of regional variations in central mechanical properties on blood hemodynamics that adversely affect microcirculation in the heart, brain and kidneys.



Computational modeling is a powerful tool to understand the complexity of central arterial function. In this work we used a robust, data-driven computational framework that combines 3D geometric vascular models, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analyses, Windkessel models to represent the distal vasculature and an external tissue boundary condition to represent perivascular support. FSI methods allowed to account for the deformability of the central vessels and included spatially variable anisotropic tissue properties.



We first introduced a data-driven FSI computational model of the human aorta to simulate effects of aging-related changes in regional wall properties and geometry on several metrics of arterial stiffness. Using the best available biomechanical data, our results for PWV compared well to findings reported for large population studies while rendering a higher resolution description of evolving metrics of aortic stiffening. Our results revealed similar spatio-temporal trends between stiffness and its surrogate metrics, except PWV, thus indicating a complex dependency of the latter on geometry. Furthermore, our analysis highlighted the importance of the tethering exerted by external tissues.



Due to difficulty in obtaining detailed information on evolving regional mechanical properties in humans, we focused on mouse models of vascular aging, which offer the advantage of easier longitudinal studies and data accessibility. We developed a workflow to combine in vivo and in vitro biomechanical data to build mouse-specific computational models of the central vasculature. These FSI models are informed by micro-CT imaging, in vitro mechanical characterization of the arterial wall, and in vivo ultrasound and pressure measurements. We reproduced central artery biomechanics in adult wild-type, fibulin-5 deficient mice, a model of early vascular aging, and naturally aged wild type mice. Findings were also examined as a function of sex. Computational results compared well with data available in the literature and suggested that PWV does not well reflect the presence of regional differences in stiffening and it is affected by vascular wall stiffness heterogeneities. Modeling is also useful for evaluating quantities that are difficult to measure experimentally, including local pulse pressures at the renal arteries and characteristics of the peripheral vascular bed that may be altered by disease.



Notwithstanding the many advantages of animal models, it is important to consider that invasive experimental procedures may alter the quantity of interest. Advanced computational models offer a unique method to evaluate these measurements. Herein we evaluated the effects of commercially available catheters on the very parameters that they are designed to measure, namely murine blood pressure and PWV. We investigated two different setups and observed that both alter the measured values of PWV.



Lastly, we showed preliminary results involving automatic parameter estimation and expansion of the FSI framework to account for the large motions imposed by the heart on the aorta.

ABSTRACT: The millimeter-wave frequency spectrum is in increasing demand for wireless applications including communication and radar. Nitrogen-polar GaN devices at UCSB have now shown transformative performance with record-breaking power density of 8 W/mm and excellent efficiency in the W-band (75-110 GHz) frequency range. This talk will discuss some of UCSB's work on deep recess N-polar GaN MISHEMTs which has enabled this performance. The focus will be on this researcher's contribution to UCSB's N-polar GaN device program which has been to develop new methods to characterize and model these devices in a way which provides quick and insightful feedback for designing improved devices. This is achieved by providing unambiguous evaluations of large-signal performance by load pull at extremely high frequency, and using accurately extracted equivalent circuit models to identify which specific aspects of the device can be adjusted to realize improvements in performance. These methods led to improvement in the efficiency at 94 GHz from 17% to 28%, while the power density was increased to 8 W/mm. New characterization and modeling techniques are underway to understand and improve the linearity of the device, because distortion in amplifiers is of increasing importance for complex digital modulation schemes employed in modern communication systems.

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

Genomics data generally have larger feature sizes than its sample sizes, posing challenges for deep-learning application in this field. In this talk, I will elaborate how we get around the curse of small population size, and apply deep-learning creatively to predict disease prognosis at the population level. We have developed a tool called Cox-nnet that uses gene expression data to predict patients survival via neural network. We further developed another integration tool called DeepProg, which uses multiple types of genomics data to predict patients survival via autoencoders. We demonstrate the utility of these methods on tens of thousands of cancer samples in the cancer genome atlas (TCGA). Lastly, I will present our computational method, called DeepImpute, which uses deep-learning to impute the noisy single-cell RNA-Seq data and achieves better performance than other statistical and machine learning methods currently available. In summary, the age of AI to genomics research has arrived and is expected to transform this field to a whole new level.

Feasibility of Using the Utah Array for Long-term Fully Implantable Neuroprosthesis Systems (March 19, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62024 62024-15276098@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 10:00am

Damage to the spinal cord can disrupt the pathway of signals sent between the brain and the body and may result in partial or complete loss of both motor and sensory functions. The loss of these functions can have devastating implications on the quality of one’s life, interfering with activities of daily living related to walking, bladder and bowel control, trunk stability, and arm and hand function. Current approaches used to help improve and restore mobility require residual movement to control, which can be unintuitive and inoperative by individuals with higher level cervical injuries. In order to develop technology used by individuals of all levels of injury, it is necessary to generate control signals directly from the brain. This thesis is intended to address the clinical limitations of implantable neural recording systems, and thus lay the foundation for the development of a design and safety profile for a fully implantable intracortical system for motor restoration.

We first present the design and testing of a 96-channel neural recording device used to mate with an existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) system in order to facilitate brain-controlled FES. By extracting signal power within a narrow frequency bandwidth and reducing overhead processer operations, a 25% power reduction is achieved. This establishes the feasibility for an implantable system and enables the integration of the neural recording device with implantable FES system. The specifications of this platform can be used as a guide to develop further application specific modules and dramatically accelerate the overall process to a clinically viable system.

With a functional device, the next step is to move towards a clinical trial. Here we investigate the potential safety risks of future modular, implantable neuroprosthetic systems. A systematic review of 240 articles was used to identify and quantitatively summarize the hardware-related complications of the most established intracranial clinical system, deep brain stimulation, and the most widespread experimental human intracranial system, the NeuroPort, including the Utah microelectrode array. The safety and longevity data collected here will be used to better inform future device and clinical trial design and satisfy regulatory requirements.

The stability and longevity of the Utah array are critical factors for determining whether the clinical benefit outweighs the risk for potential users. We investigate the biological adverse response to the insertion of the Utah array in a rhesus macaque. We examined the health and density of neurons around the shanks of the array in comparison to control brain. Non-human primate animal models allow us to further examine the effects of the implantation of the Utah array on neural tissue, which cannot be done with humans. Information gained through this will continue to increase the pool of safety data for the Utah array and emerging intracranial devices.

Overall, we developed a neural recording device to be used for brain-controlled FES and examined the potential safety concerns reported in the human literature and experimentally using non-human primates. These results represent significant progress towards a clinically-viable system for motor restoration in people suffering from spinal cord injury.

Many people commit to a purpose or a mission statement of a company they might work for, shop at, or go to, but many people do not have a purpose of their own. A part of authentic leadership is committing to a purpose that helps us to deepen our impact. Your purpose springs from your identity and is the essence of who you are. To figure out who you are in such a world, let alone “be nobody but yourself,” is indeed hard work. This workshop will help you uncover what your ultimate purpose is and learn how to commit to it in times of uncertainty. This workshop is powered by the Sanger Leadership Center.

Today’s health system fails to deliver the best possible outcomes. Research takes too long and costs too much, and opportunities to engage the participation and contribution by patients and families are not yet common. What if we could create a better care system by harnessing inherent motivation and collective intelligence of patients, clinicians and researchers? In every part of our lives, networks are having a profound effect. How could networked organizations accelerate progress towards Learning Health Systems? This talk will describe how several large-scale learning health system networks are eliminating the artificial barriers between clinical care, improvement and research while engaging all stakeholders as part of a single health system. The result is faster learning and better outcomes for large populations of patients.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or a blood clot in a deep vein (commonly the legs), is known as the silent killer—there may be few or no symptoms, yet a section of the thrombus could break free and travel to the lungs causing a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. DVT and its complications affect 900,000 people in the U.S. each year, with one third of cases resulting in fatality. Anticoagulants (the standard treatment) pose serious bleeding risks and rely on the patient’s fibrinolytic system to break up the thrombus, which is often incapable of doing so thus leading to post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in almost 50% of patients. Removing the DVT completely via thrombolytic treatments may improve quality of life by reducing PTS. However, thrombolysis is only effective on acute thrombi. Impaired success with thrombolytic treatment is due to heterogeneity in the thrombus (old clot, which is unable to be broken up, intermixed with fresh clot, which can easily be broken up). This problem is largely overlooked based on an inability to determine thrombus composition.

Currently, the only method for determining disease stage is the patient’s recollection of when their symptoms began, which is inherently unreliable and could put the patient at risk. Further, thrombi of the same chronological age may organize at different rates in different people. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to provide information about thrombus composition (clot age), and thus inform patient-specific treatment planning.

Since there are several limitations to studying DVT in humans, animal models are key tools for understanding the disease. Mouse models are the most commonly used, providing a unique biological environment to study disease progression and treatment. Any model requires rigorous characterization and standardization to ensure reproducibility between studies. Our first objective was to quantify structural and functional changes in the healthy venous system of young and aged mice of both sexes, at rest and under conditions which simulate exercise. Second, we assessed the endogenous response to two models of DVT mimicking the two possible clinical scenarios: total or partial occlusion.

Following the necessary model characterization, we developed a multiparametric MRI approach to probe thrombus composition without the need for contrast agents. Our results show imaging correlation with known composition by histology. This method provides a novel approach to study thrombus composition, and could eventually be used clinically to provide patient-specific treatment planning for DVT.

Additionally, we investigated the impact of exercise, an emerging therapeutic option, on thrombus composition. Using an in-cage running wheel, our results show that spontaneous exercise – both alone and in combination with standard treatment – reduces initial thrombus size and contributes to thrombus resolution. We found that exercise increases acute fibrin content, attenuates local inflammation, and decreases sub-chronic collagen content in pharmacologically treated mice.

This work provides 1) the first in vivo characterization of the murine venous system in health and disease, 2) a foundational methodology to determine thrombus composition by MRI, and 3) insights on the impact of exercise on DVT. This research can help DVT investigators from the animal model perspective, and provides a step forward in characterizing thrombus composition for patient-specific DVT treatment planning.

Data is what drives our economy. We leave trails of personal data as we scroll, click, chat, shop, commute and exercise. In many ways, data is an emerging renewable commodity, as abundant as sunlight. The top 5 largest companies of 2017 are all considered “data companies” that rely on capturing, processing and distributing personal data to garner their market capitalization or pre-market valuation.

Author and Engineer, James Felton Keith will explore the two questions: If our personal data is a naturally occurring resource, just how valuable is it to the other +5 million companies in our economy? And, How much are people owed if they in fact own their data?

Abstract: The last 2 decades have seen an explosion in high energy density physics research, spurred on by the development of national facilities such as NIF and Z. Despite their relative small size, universities have played a leading role in this research – both with ‘in house’ experiments and through joint work on larger facilities. In this talk I will describe some of our research at Imperial College including how we have pioneered the use of plasmas ablating from wire array z-pinches to create astrophysical relevant experiments and explore radiative shock waves; how we are using pulsed power driven wire explosions to create highly convergent shock waves for equation of state measurements; and how we utilize new X-ray diagnostics to explore materials in situ - whilst having fun with a shoe boxed sized pulser on a synchrotron.

About the Speaker: Dr. Simon Bland is a senior lecturer at Imperial College London, leading efforts to produce materials in extremes of pressure, temperature and density through short bursts of electrical energy. His group runs a 2 million ampere cutting-edge pulsed power facility – MACH- dedicated to isentropic compression and convergent shock waves, whilst also developing and using novel diagnostic techniques. Prior to establishing his own research program, Dr. Bland worked on the MAGPIE facility exploring wire array z-pinches for fusion and laboratory astrophysics. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 papers, and greatly enjoys working with a team of under-graduates and graduates in his research.

Acoustic Methods for Histotripsy Feedback (March 21, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62025 62025-15276099@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 21, 2019 9:30am

Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Histotripsy is a therapeutic ultrasound modality that employs clouds of inertial cavitation to noninvasively destroy unwanted tissue. Histotripsy systems are, traditionally, transmit-only systems incapable of receiving ultrasound. For guidance, an ultrasound imaging probe is placed in the center of a histotripsy array. On B-mode ultrasound imaging, the region of tissue destruction appears as a hypoechoic zone after a substantial amount of treatment has occurred. However, this level of histotripsy feedback is insufficient for several reasons. First, histotripsy treatments occur in a 3D space, yet B-mode imaging is 2D. While 3D ultrasound imaging exists, the large footprint of 3D probes would occupy a substantial portion of the acoustic window for therapy. Second, histotripsy-treated lesions only appear hypoechoic on B-mode after a substantial amount of treatment has occurred resulting in poor sensitivity. Developing receive-capable histotripsy arrays would enable a multitude of feedback mechanisms. The overall objective of this dissertation is to develop receive-capable histotripsy systems and new feedback mechanisms enabled by this technology that improve histotripsy treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.

In the first part of this dissertation, the technical details associated with the development of receive-capable histotripsy systems are discussed. First, the challenges of designing highly-parallelized data acquisition systems that are capable of operating over a high dynamic range are outlined and solutions are proposed. Next, the various stages of prototypes that were developed are explored. Finally, two fully-functional receive-capable histotripsy systems are described in detail: a retrofit system that can enable receive-capability for any existing histotripsy system, and a new histotripsy system that incorporates receiver electronics in with high-voltage drivers.

In the second part of this dissertation, several feedback methods for monitoring the extent and progression of histotripsy treatment are discussed. In particular, a new feedback method is investigated, which uses the cavitation collapse time to monitor tissue damage. Upon initiation of a histotripsy bubble cloud, a series of shockwaves are emitted during its initial expansion. Once the bubble cloud expands to a maximum radius, it begins to collapse inward on itself, and, during the final stage of collapse, another shockwave is released. Using a receive-capable histotripsy array, these shockwaves can be acquired thus allowing for a measurement of the overall lifespan of the bubble cloud. This acoustic measurement is optically validated using a high-speed camera. It was found that this lifespan, defined by the cavitation collapse time, correlates directly with the extent of histotripsy treatment. Ex vivo bovine liver samples were treated, and it was found that the change in collapse time directly correlates with hepatocyte destruction.

In the final part of this dissertation, a receive-capable histotripsy system was used to implement acoustic aberration correction. Natural heterogeneities of tissue can result in upwards of 10% variation of sound speed throughout the acoustic path of propagation for histotripsy. These sound speed variations result in acoustic aberrations that significantly defocus histotripsy pulses through phase aberration and result in lowered focal pressure and treatment efficacy in vivo. By using a receive-capable histotripsy system to acquire the expansion shockwave construct from the initial expansion of the histotripsy bubble cloud, time reversal acoustics was implemented to correct for these acoustic aberrations and refocus subsequent histotripsy pulses. Using this method, over 20% of lost pressure due to phase aberration is recovered, and the histotripsy system power required to induce cavitation was reduced by approximately 31.5%.

In 2012 the first 4K resolution screen became available on the commercial market at the common 30” desktop size, making it possible for a user with 20/20 vision seated 24” away from a computer screen to be confronted with the same amount of visual information as could be experienced in the surrounding environment. This development brought verisimilitude to another realm that has gradually emerged for decades, the constitution of the digital sphere as a kind of environment itself. Today, we live inside the digital. Increasingly, our public and private lives are conducted online and in digital space where our relationships are forged, nurtured, or deleted, where our bills are paid and finances tracked, and where our ideologies are fed and our politics balkanized by our respective media bubbles. And while the digital now constitutes more and more of our daily routines, it can also offer a distorting abstraction of “external life.” Swiping left is easier than breaking up, and even the most civil among us can become an entitled consumer on Yelp. At once, our digital environments offer new grounds for engagement and interaction, and immersive venues for escape from the exigencies of the outside world. This session will discuss this dialectic. Drawing contributors from across art, architecture, design, and media studies, we will examine the digital as both a totalizing environment unto itself – a bubble apart from the external lifeworld – and a new venue for social organization and engagement.

Project Management Certification (March 24, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126016@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
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 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, 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!

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

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.

Post-Human Creativity: A Conversation (March 25, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62112 62112-15293425@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 25, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) Program

Who or what is the creator in a world where machines generate original music, poetry, art and more? Is the human creator of a machine the creator of the machine's output? Who holds copyright for creations made by computers or algorithms rather than directly by a human creator? How are we designing the machines that will take care of us? How do artists and designers approach creativity differently from engineers? These questions intersect with all creative endeavors today whether making art, altering the body, or designing autonomous vehicles.

Join us for a live, unrehearsed, interdisciplinary conversation with faculty from diverse perspectives to explore the idea of Post-Human Creativity.

Irina Aristarkhova, Associate Professor, School of Art & Design
Ella Atkins, Professor, Aerospace Engineering
Melissa Levine, Director, U-M Library Copyright Office
Andrea Thomer, Assistant Professor, School of Information

All are invited. Refreshments will be served. Co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Library Copyright Office and the Ford School of Public Policy’s Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) graduate certificate program.

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations Graduate Speaker Series (March 26, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59651 59651-15337500@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2019 11:30am
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Tau Beta Pi

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.
