A reception will immediately follow the talk.

With increasingly frequent and evermore costly data breaches and other cyber incidents, effectively assessing, quantifying, and managing cyber risks has become crucial for organizations large and small. Many key challenges we face are rooted in unique characteristics of this type of risk, from a fast-changing threat landscape that brings unforeseen forms of attacks, to the fact that cyber risks are heavily interdependent among organizations. I will take a look at how this field has evolved over the past decade and describe my research group’s work within this context, in particular, the use of data and supervised learning tools to quantify cyber risk at an organization level, and the use of cyber insurance as a policy mechanism to incentivize better risk control.

Bio:

Mingyan Liu is a leading expert in optimal resource allocation, performance modeling, sequential decision and learning theory, game theory and incentive mechanisms, all within the context of large-scale networked systems and with applications to cyber risk quantification.

Technologies she developed in the cybersecurity space have been successfully transitioned. She co-founded the start-up company, QuadMetrics, Inc., commercializing predictive data analytics her team developed for cyber risk quantification that resulted in the first global enterprise cybersecurity ratings system; it was acquired by the analytics software company Fair Isaac (FICO) in 2016. This technology has been used for enterprise risk management, vendor management, cyber insurance underwriting, and most recently, in augmenting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings.

Prof. Liu joined the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in September 2000, as an assistant professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. She has been the Peter and Evelyn Fuss Chair of ECE since 2018. She is the recipient of the 2002 NSF CAREER Award, the University of Michigan Elizabeth C.

MIPSE Seminar | Pulsed-Power-Driven Plasma Physics at MIT (March 29, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103473 103473-21807309@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
In this talk I will outline the program of research which has been started at the new pulsed-power driven plasma physics group at MIT. I will discuss the motivation for our fundamental physics investigations in terms of the processes which enable energy to flow between different energy types within the plasma, and I will illustrate some of these processes with results from pulsed-power-driven experiments on magnetic reconnection and magnetized turbulence. I will show how these results lead to current and future research directions, such as radiatively cooled magnetic reconnection experiments on Z and the new PUFFIN long-pulse facility under construction at MIT.

Diagnosing disease on a microchip: Finding nanoscale needles in a nanoscale haystack (March 30, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106711 106711-21814734@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 30, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Cooley Building
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Abstract: The transformative growth in microelectronics in the latter half of the 20th century was fueled fundamentally by the ability to miniaturize complex circuits onto chips. The impact of this has been profound– computing is pervasive and portable and communication is instant and global. My research aims to harness this same engineering approach to solve high impact problems in medical diagnostics. To accomplish this goal my lab develops hybrid microchips, where microfluidics are built directly on top of semiconductor chips. In this talk I will focus on recent work at Penn on 'digital asays.' Digital assays — in which ultra-sensitive molecular measurements are made by performing millions of parallel experiments in picoliter droplets — have generated enormous enthusiasm due to their single molecule resolution. These assays have incredible untapped potential for disease diagnostics but are currently confined to laboratory settings due to the instrumentation necessary to generate, control, and measure tens of millions of droplets. To overcome this challenge, we are developing a hybrid microelectronic / microfluidic chip to ‘unlock’ droplet-based assays for mobile use. Our microDroplet Fluorescence Detector (µDFD) takes inspiration from cellular networks, in which phones are identified by their carrier frequency and not their particular location. In collaboration with physicians at The Abramson Cancer Center, we are demonstrating the power of this approach by developing a multiplexed exosome-based diagnostic for the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

Bio: The Issadore lab combines microelectronics, microfluidics, nanomaterials, and machine learning to solve big problems in healthcare. We create miniaturized platforms for the diagnosis of disease, we develop new platforms to manufacture micro and nanomaterials, and we dip our toes into an assortment of other areas where we can leverage our engineering training to improve healthcare. This work requires an interdisciplinary approach in which engineers, scientists, and physicians work together in teams.

Hallucinations and objective assessments of deep learning technologies for medical image formation (April 6, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107076 107076-21815261@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 6, 2023 3:30pm

Abstract:
A variety of deep learning-based image restoration and reconstruction methods, generically referred to as image formation methods, have been proposed for use with biomedical images. It is widely accepted that the assessment and refinement of biomedical imaging technologies should be performed by objective, i.e., task-based, measures of image quality (IQ). However, the objective evaluation of deep learning-based image formation technologies remains largely lacking, despite the breakneck speed at which they are being developed. As such, there is an ever-growing collection of methods whose utility and trustworthiness remains largely unknown. Moreover, such methods have the capability to ‘hallucinate’ false structures, which is of significant concern in medical imaging applications. In this work, we report studies in which the performance of deep learning-based image restoration methods is objectively assessed. The performance of the ideal observer (IO) and common linear numerical observers are quantified, and detection efficiencies are computed to assess the impact of deep learning image formation methods on signal detection performance. The numerical results indicate that, in the cases considered, the application of a deep image formation network can result in a loss of task-relevant information in the image, despite improvement in traditional computer-vision metrics. We also demonstrate that traditional and objective IQ measures can vary in opposite ways as a function of network depth. These results highlight the need for the objective evaluation of IQ for deep image formation technologies and may suggest future avenues for improving the effectiveness of medical imaging applications.

When Greg Robinson took over the leadership of the James Webb Space Telescope, it was years behind schedule, billions over budget, tarnished by engineering failures and waning stakeholder confidence. The trouble didn’t end there. COVID, hurricanes, and other obstacles soon stood in the way of success. Still, Robinson managed to bring together 20,000 people in 29 countries and 14 U.S. states to not only turn the program around, but nearly double its efficiency. In this inspiring talk, highlighted by breathtaking images from Webb, Robinson shares how trust, communication and effective leadership can bring teams together from across the globe to overcome obstacles and achieve your organization’s moonshot.

BIO

Best-known as the turnaround leader of the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb), 33-year NASA veteran Gregory Robinson is credited with transforming a program that was billions over budget and years behind schedule into one of NASA’s greatest achievements of the 21st century. Robinson’s renowned leadership skills and soft-spoken management and communication style have earned him numerous awards and honors, including being named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2022 (alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky) and receiving the TIME100 Impact Award, which credited Robinson’s leadership on Webb as bringing us closer to understanding the universe.

Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
Laboratory studies of quasineutral “pair” plasmas, in which the positively and negatively charged particles have the same mass, are a compelling frontier in fundamental plasma physics research. More than four decades of theory and simulation studies offer a wealth of predictions for how the collective behavior of such an unusually symmetric plasma is expected to compare to that of conventional plasmas. To experimentally test some of these predictions, the goal of the APEX (A Positron Electron eXperiment) Collaboration is to create and study confined, strongly magnetized electron-positron pair plasmas in the laboratory. Our “road map” involves unifying and advancing state-of-the-art physics and engineering in several areas, including: extended accumulation and high-capacity storage of large numbers of positrons, originating from a world-class positron source; two superconducting, tabletop-sized, toroidal confinement devices with complementary magnetic topologies (a levitated dipole and a stellarator), in which the positrons will be combined with electrons and their plasma properties studied; and the development and verification of a number of essential enabling techniques (e.g., efficient transport of positrons across magnetic flux surfaces and subsequent trapping). This seminar will offer an overview of the collaboration’s recent progress and upcoming milestones en route to pair plasma studies.

About the Speaker:
Eve V. Stenson is a scientist and group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), Germany, where she coordinates the international APEX collaboration. The most recent addition to the collaboration is the EPOS (Electrons and Positrons in an Optimized Stellarator) project, her Helmholtz Young Investigator Group. Prior to getting into the business of “antimatter containment fields”, she earned her Ph.D. from Caltech studying the dynamics of arched, plasma-filled flux tubes generated with pulsed-power magnetized plasma guns. Other scientific interests over the years have included open-source cryo-genic temperature measurement systems, positron-induced phosphor luminescence, magnetoresistive semiconductors, and blowing soap film bubbles in microgravity. She was recently honored with the Hans Werner Osthoff Plasma Physics Prize.

Abstract:

From the initial genetic patterning to the assembly of the whole embryo, how ordered structures form has always been a fundamental question in developmental biology. The recent advances in imaging technologies are now providing us with direct visual access to the development of whole organisms in unprecedented detail. However, it is clear that to make the best use of this complex data, we need the help of computer algorithms that can mine it for biologically relevant information, summarize and then visualize it for us. The first project I will present focuses on the mechanisms driving the development of diverse 3D bone morphologies in mice. There, we developed algorithms to analyze micro-CT images to deconstruct the final morphology of each bone into the contributions made by remodeling of mineralized tissue vs. the cartilaginous growth plates. This allowed us to demonstrate the central role of the growth plate in 3D bone morphogenesis in normal and pathological development. The second project aims to understand how different cell activities contribute to large-scale morphogenetic movements. To this end, we generated the first whole embryo single-cell atlas of morphogenetic activity underlying gastrulation in the fruit fly, then used these maps to derive a statistical model associating cell shape changes and rearrangements to body axis elongation.

Areas of Interest:

My lab focuses on understanding how cells organize to form various tissue morphologies during normal and pathological development. We use two model systems to achieve this: the musculoskeletal system in mice and whole embryo development in fruit flies. Our approach centers on the development of cutting-edge bioimage informatics and data science algorithms to analyze the dynamics and the underlying patterns in developing tissues through 3D and 4D (3D+time) fluorescence images.

We've hit capacity for this event! We'll have a recording of the event posted to our YouTube afterward, and hope to hold similar events in the future.

--

Should we fear where robotics is headed? Or be in awe of what it might accomplish?

To help answer this, Michigan Robotics is starting a series called "The Testing Lab", where we put to the test just what the robots of today can achieve. We show the general public (you!) how far robotics has come, where it's going, and how far it has to go.

Join us for this first installment on exoskeletons, where we'll discover how powered exoskeletons might raise the level of human achievement, and where a collegiate high jumper takes on an engineering student with an exoskeleton in a jump contest.

The evening includes:
• a film premiere of the jumping competition
• an exoskeleton demo & chance to try on an exoskeleton yourself
• an expert panel on the science and engineering behind exos
• dinner and mingling with exoskeleton experts
• Robotics swag giveaways & more!

This will take place in Ford Motor Company Robotics Building, the new national centerpiece in robotics research, learning, and collaboration that's right here on North Campus.

Topic: *Pricing Physical Water Risk: Machine Learning Approaches to Quantify the Impact of Corporate Water Use Efficiencies in the Financial Markets*

Corporate financial risk in their operations resulting from climate change and water resource limitations result in volatility in the capital markets. This has become a regulatory focus under the Task for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), forcing companies to disclose how climate is impacting their financial performance. This includes water risk exposures in water security and the impact of floods in supply chains, logistics, and operations resulting from water access. Corporate water intensity, a proxy for climate transition risk, relates water use efficiency to operational and capital asset risks. This information is generally not disclosed in financial or sustainability reports and is difficult for investors or regulators to assess, and for risk managers to address. This seminar focuses on the development of econometric models to price water risk in equities with the aim of informing corporate decision-makers and external stakeholders to assess and benchmark the financial valuation of water risk and to allow for comparison across industry sectors.

Society has become increasingly reliant on digital technology, but public infrastructure has not yet evolved to support and enable these social, commercial, and municipal needs. Industry migration to renewable energy and Big Data continues to alter the way we live and work, and growing demand for connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles will require more than ever-more-expensive vehicles traveling on poorly maintained, deteriorating traditional roadways. Our aging transportation infrastructure needs to be transformed and digitized to support public demands for existing technology and enable the evolution of those needs over future generations. Leveraging new approaches to digital infrastructure, data analytics, and modern financing reduces a daunting task into an approach that revolutionizes public infrastructure while incentivizing sustainable planning and implementation strategies.

A panel discussion will follow the lecture, featuring Rick Geddes, Professor, Department of Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University, and Tim Slusser, Chief of Mobility Innovation for the City of Detroit.

Our co-sponsors include CCAT, UMTRI, Mcity, Integrated Roadways, the City of Detroit and the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy.

Abstract:
Metabolism is central to virtually all cellular functions and contributes to a range of diseases. A quantitative understanding of how biochemical pathways are dysregulated in the context of diseases such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, and neuropathy is necessary to identify new therapeutic targets. To this end we apply stable isotope tracers, mass spectrometry, and metabolic flux analysis (MFA) to study metabolism in mammalian cells, animal models, and human patients. We are particularly interested in understanding how amino acid and lipid metabolism are coordinated in the context of specific disease states. Serine, glycine and one carbon metabolism is critically important for cell function and health, but the amino acids associated with this pathway are commonly reduced in patients with metabolic syndrome. Here I will detail how we apply MFA and related methods to decipher why serine and glycine are reduced in mouse models of diabetes. At the same time, modulating dietary serine, glycine, and fat impacts lipid metabolism and neuropathy phenotypes in C57BL/6 mice. In turn, supplementation of serine improves sensory function in diabetic animals, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for treating patients with serine-associated neuropathy. These data provide mechanistic insights into potential drivers diabetes co-morbidities and the role of amino acids in chronic disease.

MIPSE Seminar | New Lens on the Frontier of Matter in Extreme Conditions (April 19, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104047 104047-21808311@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract: The study of matter under extreme conditions is a highly interdisciplinary subject with broad applications to materials science, plasma physics, geophysics and astrophysics. Understanding the processes which dictate physical properties in warm dense plasmas and condensed matter requires studies at the relevant length-scales (interatomic spacing) and time-scales (phonon period). Experiments performed at XFEL lightsources across the world, combined with dynamic compression, provide ever-improving spatial- and temporal-fidelity to push the frontier. This talk will cover a broad range of conditions, intended to present an overview of important recent developments in how we generate extreme environments and how we characterize and probe matter at extremes conditions – providing an atom-eye view of transformations and the fundamental physics dictating plasma and materials properties. Examples closely related to geophysics, astro(bio)physics, planetary-, and fusion energy-sciences, as enabled by microstructure visualization from in situ, ultrafast X-ray imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy will be discussed.

About the Speaker: Arianna Gleason received her PhD in Earth and Planetary Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010. She joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar in 2010 and worked for Los Alamos National Laboratory in the Shock and Detonation Physics group before joining SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory as a staff scientist in 2018. Her passion is visualizing materials behavior and response across all length-scales at the most extreme environments possible in nature – from planetary cores to stellar interiors or for fusion energy and novel materials design. This allows her to reveal nature’s secrets of high-pressure mineral physics and planetary evolution from the atomic level up. In 2019 she received the DOE’s Early Career Award from the Office of Science, Fusion Energy Science, and recently served on the FES Science Advisory Committee for Long Range Planning, Basic Research Needs on Inertial Fusion Energy, Accelerating Nuclear Innovations and International Benchmarking. She is currently the Deputy Director for the High Energy Density Science Division at SLAC and Adjunct Faculty in the Geoscience Department at Stanford University.

Distributed Decision-making in Disrupted Industrial Environments Using a Multi-agent Framework (May 8, 2023 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/107813 107813-21817096@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, May 8, 2023 9:30am
Location: Ford Robotics Building
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

The modern industrial environment is becoming more complex and dynamic, due to customized and shifting market demands, highly connected businesses, and frequently upgraded technologies. In such environments, varying uncertainties and disruptions could occur and highly impact the performance of the manufacturing factories and supply chain networks. Conventional centralized decision-making approaches handle disruptions by re-optimizing across the entire system regardless of disruption type and scale, which require significant computational efforts, especially for complex and large-scale systems. Therefore, to stay competitive, industry enterprises need to develop a dynamic and flexible decision-making method that enables an agile and resilient response to these unexpected disruptions in industrial environments.

Enabled by current Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, multi-agent control has been proposed to conduct distributed decision-making to provide an agile response to disruptions. A multi-agent system consists of various autonomous agents, which are cyber representations of their associated physical objects and have their own knowledge and goals. Agents communicate and interact with each other to make high-level decisions for their associated physical objects. In different industrial environments, agents could represent different system entities, such as the products and machines in manufacturing systems, or suppliers and customers in supply chains. However, most existing industrial multi-agent systems require prior knowledge of disruptions and predetermined rules and strategies to generate responses, which makes it difficult to handle unexpected disruptions.

Aiming to improve the agility and resiliency of industrial systems, this dissertation develops a model-based multi-agent framework to address risk management within an agile and resilient response to various unexpected industrial disruptions. The proposed multi-agent framework comprises model-based agents, heuristic-based communication, and optimization-based decision-making. The model-based agent architecture enables agents to update their knowledge and local environments dynamically. When agents need to make decisions, they utilize their knowledge as heuristics to instruct their communication strategies. Then based on their knowledge and communication information, agents can identify new actions by solving risk-aware optimizations to respond to unexpected disruptions dynamically. The proposed framework is tested in a simulated manufacturing environment and a supply chain instance, showcasing the improved flexibility, agility, and resiliency of the industrial systems.

To conclude, this dissertation pushes the fields of distributed decision-making for industrial systems closer to satisfying the requirements of modern industry: flexibility, agility, and resiliency, especially for manufacturing systems and supply chain networks. Enterprises could apply this framework to compute a resilient recovery plan to address a disruption quickly to minimize the negative effects. In addition, this dissertation contributes to standardizing the design of system-level decision-making using a multi-agent framework. The proposed methodology to design a multi-agent framework is transferable to other complex systems, such as multi-robot systems and autonomous vehicle teams, that consist of multiple intelligent entities.

PREACT: Motion Sickness Alleviation in Autonomous Vehicles via Preemptive Interventions — CCAT Research Review (May 9, 2023 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101400 101400-21803710@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 1:00pm
Location: Transportation Research Institute
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

While autonomous vehicles (AVs) promise a transportation future with several benefits, a high incidence of motion sickness among passengers remains a major impediment to the widespread adoption of this promising technology.

Motion sickness in a moving vehicle is the consequence of frequent acceleration and resulting inertial forces associated with driving actions such as speeding, braking, and turning. In a traditional vehicle, the driver anticipates the inertial consequences of their own driving actions, and accordingly makes subtle preemptive corrections. The passenger ends ups passively reacting to the inertial forces, which leads to a far greater incidence of motion sickness. In a future world of AVs, every occupant will be a passive passenger, resulting in a greater likelihood and severity of motion sickness.

In this talk, Professor Awtar will present the development and experimental validation of a novel motion sickness mitigation technology, PREACT. The key idea behind the PREACT technology is to employ predictive algorithms that anticipate impending inertial events associated with driving and accordingly makes preemptive corrections via mechatronic hardware such as tip/tilt active seats, active restraints, and passenger stimuli before the inertial events happen. Instead of reacting to an inertial event that can produce motion sickness, the PREACT system “pre-acts” ahead of time to avert motion sickness before it even happens.

Affordance-grounded Robot Perception and Manipulation in Adversarial, Translucent, and Cluttered Environments (May 11, 2023 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/107874 107874-21818330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 11, 2023 10:30am

Chair: Chad Jenkins

Abstract:
Robots in the future need to work in natural scenarios and finish a variety of tasks without much supervision from humans. To achieve this goal, we want the robots to perform perception and action robustly and adaptively in unstructured environments. For example, robots are expected to correctly perceive objects in unseen cases, such as dark environments, heavy clutters or transparent materials. Besides, they should learn skills that are transferable across novel objects in categories rather than fixed on known instances. In this dissertation, we focus on the problem of perceiving and manipulating various objects in complex adversarial environments. Specifically, we explore on three aspects including robustness to adversarial environments, synergistic perception and action, and scalable data-driven perception pipelines for customized settings.

First, we explore the possibility to achieve robustness for object pose estimation algorithms against environmental changes, like object occlusions and lighting changes. We contribute a two-stage approach GRIP that combines both the discriminative power of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and robustness in probabilistic generative inference. Our results indicate that GRIP has better accuracy through comparison with end-to-end pose estimation baselines, and efficacy in a grocery packing task in the dark scene.

Second, we focus on how to generalize object representation to category-level with grounded affordance for task execution. We propose the Affordance Coordinate Frame (ACF) representation that enables direct connection between perception and executable action. Along with that, an object part category-level scene perception pipeline is contributed to estimate ACFs in cluttered environments on novel objects. Our pipeline outperforms state-of-the-art methods for object detection, as well as category-level pose estimation for object parts. We further demonstrate the applicability of ACF to robot manipulation tasks like grasping, pouring and stirring.

Third, we contribute an annotation pipeline that enables large-scale dataset creation and benchmarking on transparent objects. The proposed ProgressLabeller pipeline has a multi-view annotation interface that allows fast and accurate pose annotation on RGB-D video streams. ProgressLabeller is proved to generate more accurate annotations in object pose estimation and grasping experiments. Using ProgressLabeller, we contributed ClearPose as the first large-scale RGB-D transparent object dataset with various adversarial conditions such as lighting changes, object clutters. ClearPose is made to support benchmarking of data-driven approaches on depth completion, object pose estimation and robotic manipulation. Then, we built an object pose estimation based manipulation framework, TransNet, for daily transparent objects. The system aims to generalize the pose estimation to unseen novel objects defined in several categories like wine cups and bottles. We finally demonstrate the efficacy of the system with robotic pick-and-place and pouring tasks, paving the way for more complex manipulations such as table-setting and drink serving.

Task-Invariant Control and Pre-clinical Validation of Partial Assist Exoskeletons (July 14, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109100 109100-21821070@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, July 14, 2023 10:00am

Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Chair: Robert Gregg

Abstract:
A transition from powerful, bulky, and stiff jointed exoskeletons for driving the limbs of paralyzed individuals; to lightweight, highly backdrivable, partial assist exoskeletons for assisting broad populations with mild to moderate mobility impairments is well underway. However, this transition cannot be successfully completed without developing and in-vivo testing controllers that are versatile over multiple activities, clinically intuitive, and easily customizable based on each individual's unique needs. This dissertation is focused on providing solutions to this challenging set of requirements via four aims: 1) improving and later assessing the performance (and limitations) of existing “task-invariant" controllers implemented on various backdrivable exoskeletons, 2) developing and in-silico testing a novel bilateral knee controller for broad use cases, 3) performing in-vivo validation of the novel controller for lifting-lowering-carrying – a fatiguing and injury prone set of activities 4) exploring the customizability and benefits of the novel controller for meeting unique needs in highly impaired cases of post-polio-syndrome and multiple sclerosis.

Every day at the University of Michigan, scientists from many fields work together to study organism development, function and disease. While the goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world around us, many are also taking the time to share the beauty of their work with others through a program called BioArtography. In the course of research, scientists use special stains to add color to the otherwise transparent tissues. Microscopes then allow detailed observation of the tiny, colorful biological structures revealed in these images. This results in a fascinating combination of art and science that U-M researchers are capturing in pictures taken through microscopes and turning into artworks that would look beautiful on any wall.

The goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world that surrounds us. Proceeds from the sale of this work help support the training of our next generation of researchers. Past BioArtography sales have raised enough money to send more than 100 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to scientific conferences, where they can present their work to other scientists and make connections that can help them launch their careers in research and industry.

Throughout the year BioArtography images (a collection of over 250) can be viewed and ordered online at www.bioartography.com

Investigating Factors Influencing Automated Vehicles Overtaking Bicycles: Perspectives from Drivers and Bicyclists (July 27, 2023 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108987 108987-21820687@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 27, 2023 1:00pm
Location: Transportation Research Institute
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

Bicyclists and motor vehicles share the same roads, yet there is currently no reliable technology available that assists drivers in safely overtaking bicyclists while also being acceptable to bicyclists themselves. Additionally, there is a lack of clarity regarding the critical factors involved in overtaking, as perceived by the various stakeholders.

To address these issues, this study aimed to develop computational decision-making models for car-to-bike overtaking and assess relevant factors influencing this overtaking behavior. The models considered the presence of oncoming traffic and designated bike lanes. An experiment was conducted using simulation technology, gathering subjective assessments from both drivers and bicyclists. The findings revealed disparities in satisfaction and perception of different overtaking scenarios between drivers and bicyclists.

Furthermore, the study identified significant factors influencing their subjective ratings and investigated the reasons behind these inconsistencies. The research emphasizes the importance of considering the perspectives of both drivers and bicyclists when developing car-to-bike overtaking features. The insights gained from this study will contribute to the establishment of guidelines aimed at protecting vulnerable bicyclists on the road.

Abstract
Autonomous humanoid robots have the potential to perform critical and labor-intensive tasks that could go a long way to improve upon the quality of human life. To realise this potential, an autonomous humanoid robot must be capable of planning the right set of long-horizon actions under the conditions of uncertainty and geometric constraints that characterize real-world environments.

This thesis proposes long-horizon planning approaches for humanoid robots under conditions of uncertainty and geometric constraints that are typical of real-world environments. The specific contributions of this thesis are, 1) A reactive and efficient task planning approach for planning under low-entropy conditions in the robot's belief of the state of the world, 2) A reactive and probabilistic long-horizon planning approach for long-horizon tasks under state estimation and action uncertainty and 3) An optimal long-horizon planning approach for geometrically constrained tasks based on mixed integer convex programming.

We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approaches presented in this thesis on object rearrangement and mobile manipulation tasks in a domestic environment using the Agility Robotics Digit Bipedal Humanoid Robot and evaluate the presented approaches on planning time and task success rate metrics.

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Performance of a Magnetically Shielded Hall Thruster Operating on Krypton at High Powers (August 31, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110605 110605-21825152@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, August 31, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Lurie Robert H. Engin. Ctr
Organized By: Aerospace Engineering

Hall thrusters are increasingly being used for a variety of applications, including deep space missions, requiring higher powers than ever
before. As their role in the world of space propulsion continues to grow, so too does the need for using non-traditional propellants.

One of the most appealing is krypton, a noble gas with a lighter mass and higher ionization energy compared to the more traditional
xenon. Additionally, the advent of magnetic shielding has enabled longer lifetimes and higher power operation on Hall thrusters, opening
up a new regime of operation while altering the internal plasma properties. There is an apparent need to characterize the performance
differences between xenon and krypton on these shielded Hall thrusters. With a framework for characterizing performance equipped,
including a 0D model for predicting mass utilization in terms of plasma parameters, this work sets out to investigate how xenon and
krypton efficiencies scale at high powers and the underlying physics behind these trends.

First, the efficiency of a shielded Hall thruster operating across a standard throttling table is measured and explored. It is found that with
increasing discharge voltage, the efficiency gap between xenon and krypton does not close as it does for unshielded thrusters, a
phenomenon attributed to different trends in mass utilization. Next, a modified shielded Hall thruster is operated at current densities an
order of magnitude higher than the typical 100-150 mA/cm2. At these conditions, the efficiency gap between propellants not only closes
but also reverses. The closing of this gap is attributed to krypton's more rapid increases in mass utilization given its lower initial plasma
density; the reversal is attributed to the weaker dependence of krypton's electron confinement on current density. Finally, the derived 0D model of mass utilization is leveraged with surrogate measurements of internal plasma properties to elucidate why the performance gap
scales differently with increasing voltage and increasing current. It is found that increases in plasma density are primarily what drive the
increases in mass utilization and the more rapid gains for krypton with increasing power. These findings represent a marked step in our
understanding of Hall thruster operation at high power on alternate propellants.

Abstract:
Systems neuroscience is now tackling higher-dimensional spaces as we record from larger neural populations, examine richer behavioral repertoires, and place animals in more complex environments. Combined with precise stimulation technologies, we can begin to dissect large-scale circuits in vivo, constructing models that causally relate neural activity to behavior. Perturbative testing of hypothesized brain-behavior links, however, requires statistically efficient methods for both estimating and intervening on neural activity in real time. Here I will discuss a few ways in which we can construct and refine models built in real-time, as neural or behavioral data are acquired, and use them to ‘close the loop’ and determine the optimal next stimulus to present or optimal next neuronal perturbation to apply. We demonstrate these methods in simulation and in experiments studying the optomotor response in larval zebrafish with calcium fluorescence imaging.

Bio:
Dr. Anne Draelos is an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering and Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan. Her lab is focused on machine learning and statistical techniques to facilitate real-time analysis of high-dimensional neural and behavioral data. Anne obtained her PhD in physics and underwent postdoctoral training in neuroscience at Duke University. She currently holds a Career Award at the Scientific Interface from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.

Sarah Buckius: !!!techn010ffspring!!! (September 1, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109535 109535-21822165@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 1, 2023 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Abstract
The Department of Energy’s national laboratory system was created in the wake of the Manhattan Project to create institutions that would steward advanced science and technology in the national interest. Today this comprises a system of 17 national laboratories that range from single-purpose science and applied energy laboratories to multi-purpose science and national security laboratories. Together these institutions are a critical element of U.S. leadership in S&T and an essential bridge between academia and industry. This talk will draw on examples from LLNL to highlight how we are working today to shape the environment and culture at the labs to meet the challenges of the 21st century, from energy and climate to emerging and disruptive technology to national security.

Sarah Buckius: !!!techn010ffspring!!! (September 11, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109535 109535-21822175@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 11, 2023 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Abstract:
Our lab integrates biomolecular engineering, biomaterials, and bioanalytical chemistry approaches to address therapeutic and diagnostic challenges across cancer and other diseases. In the therapeutics arena, RNA is experiencing a renaissance since the recent clinical successes of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. By leveraging the sequence and structural versatilities of RNA, we engineer multifunctional RNA macromolecules as genetic tools, immunomodulatory materials, and generic building blocks. Towards overcoming analytical barriers in clinical diagnostics, I will highlight work in developing and translating ultrasensitive single-molecule detection technologies for measuring low abundance protein biomarkers.

Abstract:
Large datasets of single-cell gene expression and cellular morphology provide an exciting opportunity to learn predictive models of cellular properties. Replicating the remarkable successes of generative AI models for vision and language in the cellular domain would be highly significant for biomedical science. In this talk, I will present three examples of how generative AI can predict key properties of cells, including their dynamics during differentiation, their responses to perturbation, and their morphological shapes.

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Science and engineering are increasingly multidisciplinary. Many researchers encounter career challenges when adopting methods from fields outside their formal training. For example, faculty who shift disciplines need to acquire new skills while fulfilling their mentoring responsibilities to students who join them in the new field. We used collaborative autoethnography to study a tripartite mentoring relationship between an experienced engineering education researcher and two novice education researchers who have backgrounds in engineering—a biomedical engineering faculty member and graduate student. Using data from written reflections and interviews, we explored the role of instrumental and psychosocial supports in our mentoring relationship. We noted how elements of cognitive apprenticeship such as scaffolding and gradual fading of instrumental supports helped novices learn qualitative research skills that differed drastically from their biomedical engineering research expertise. While our mentoring relationship was overall very positive, it has included many moments of miscommunication and misunderstanding. We draw on Lent and Lopez’s idea of relation-inferred self-efficacy to explain some of these missed opportunities for communication and understanding. Our initial mentoring model failed to consider how challenging it is for mentees to make the paradigm shift from technical engineering to social science research and how that would affect a faculty member’s ability to mentor students in a new field. Our experiences have implications for expanding research capacity because they raise practical and conceptual issues for experienced and novice researchers to consider as they form mentoring relationships.

Abstract:
The primary barrier for clinical translation of nanomedicines remains delivery to target tissues in vivo. Upon intravenous (IV) administration, vehicles encounter extracellular and intracellular barriers. It is also unclear how NP design features impact physiological interactions with biological systems, highlighting the need for studies that elucidate these structure-function relationships. In this seminar, I will describe our work on developing polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) to deliver therapeutic nucleic acids to a variety of tissues following systemic IV administration. We found that gene therapy can be significantly enhanced using a new class of polymeric vehicles consisting of poly(amine-co-ester) (PACE) polymers that are designed for safe and effective nucleic acid delivery. We have also developed tools to study nanomaterial-biology interactions in animal models. I will describe our robust high-throughput quantitative microscopy-based platform to standardize and accelerate the analysis of circulation half-life and biodistribution of nanomedicines to facilitate pre-clinical screening in vivo. This tool, alongside the development of novel polymeric carriers, can be used to study the structure-function relationships that guide the physiological fate of NPs in order to rationally design more effective delivery vehicles for future applications.

Sarah Buckius: !!!techn010ffspring!!! (September 27, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109535 109535-21822191@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.

MIPSE Seminar | Multiscale Modeling of Molecular Ion Beams and Beam-Surface Interactions (September 27, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110360 110360-21824813@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Herbert H. Dow Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
Electrospray ion sources are enabling technologies in the realms of satellite propulsion, biochemical analysis, and various surface processing industries. These applications motivate a deeper understanding of the physics of an expanding ion beam and the chemistry of particle collisions. Electrospray ion plumes challenge state of the art plasma modeling techniques due to the wide range of length and timescales over which key processes take place (i.e. nanometer-scale emission sites and centimeter scale operational volumes). Accompanying these spatial gradients are large density and velocity gradients in both the ion and neutral populations. Furthermore, the electrospray plume is a non-neutral plasma with non-Maxwellian distributions. We present state of the art numerical models of the dynamics and chemistry of an expanding molecular ion plume which are necessary to explore design variables, to understand operating conditions, and to improve performance. Beyond applications in satellite propulsion, we will discuss opportunities to utilize these ion sources in other relevant fields.
