However, translating these technologies into clinical practice remains challenging, partly because conventional preclinical models do not fully capture the biological complexity of naturally occurring cancers. Our research integrates focused ultrasound, nanomedicine, and comparative oncology within a One-Medicine framework to accelerate therapeutic development for both human and veterinary patients. We are investigating multiple ultrasound modalities, including hyperthermia, thermal ablation, and histotripsy, and their potential to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunomodulatory nanomedicines. These approaches are designed not only to improve local tumor control but also to stimulate systemic antitumor immune responses and address metastatic disease. Building on mechanistic studies in preclinical models, we are translating these technologies into clinical trials involving companion animals with naturally occurring cancers through the Veterinary Research and Oncology Clinic (VROC) at UT Southwestern. This presentation will highlight our progress in developing ultrasound-based combination therapies, the challenges of clinical translation, and the opportunities offered by comparative oncology to accelerate therapeutic innovations across species.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EBIO\u003Cbr\u003EAshish Ranjan is an Endowed Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology.

However, some environments present challenges due to limitations in function, distance, and scale. In many of these cases, access can be restored through the use of a telerobot. Dexterous manipulation via a telerobot is feasible only if it can effectively extend the user\u2019s inherent sensorimotor control scheme to the distal environment. In this talk, I will discuss research from our lab that explores the intricate relationship between touch perception, sensorimotor control, and telerobotics in both healthy and impaired individuals. Specifically, I will focus on our efforts to 1) restore \u201cneurally efficient\u201d control in upper-limb prosthetics, 2) enhance skill learning and skill transfer in robotic minimally invasive surgical training, and 3) assess and augment touch perception in healthy and impaired sensorimotor systems. Throughout, I will emphasize the need for increased collaboration between engineers and neuroscientists to deepen our understanding of these long-standing societal challenges and move closer to long-term solutions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EJeremy D.

The neutrino-producing protons must therefore move preferentially in the jet direction.

As a result, current patient ECG and PPG data remain largely under-utilized in clinical practice. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods for ECG and PPG signals could address this gap, but current approaches are often task-specific, of a short-window nature, and insufficiently contextualized for critical care. As a result, they typically do not model long-timescale physiologic dynamics or account for how comorbidities, treatments, and evolving illness shape observed signals and outcomes. To address these methodological gaps, we are developing the UNIPHY framework, which combines a pretrained physiologic foundation model (physioFM) for local signal representation with an efficient state-space model (SSM) for long-range temporal integration and contextualized patient modeling. In this talk, I will share our most recent progress and lessons learned in training and testing UNIPHY on multiple use cases in various inpatient care settings, and example ambulatory monitoring applications.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Xiao Hu is a Professor at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, an associated professor at department of Computer Sciences at College of Arts and Sciences and a program faculty member of the joint GA Tech and Emory Biomedical Engineering department.

For example, in service settings, a customer\u0027s decision to submit a rating may depend on the rating they would have provided.

Large language models can convert auxiliary unstructured data, such as customer interaction histories, into measurements that inform about missing outcomes. We treat these AI-generated measurements as weak shadow variables that are conditionally independent of missingness given the true outcome and observed covariates. We then introduce two linear programs that provide sharp bounds on key population quantities, such as mean ratings, with the AI-generated measurements tightening these bounds by serving as additional constraints on the observed-data distribution. I will also discuss extensions to nonrandomly missing unstructured covariates, particularly in healthcare and digital platforms, and present methods that integrate observed content and availability patterns to learn latent state representations for improving prediction and sequential decision-making.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003ERuoxuan Xiong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Data and Decision Sciences (DDS) at Emory University since Fall 2021, with courtesy appointments in Information Systems \u0026amp; Operations Management and Economics.

Building on these findings, we developed a multiplexed miRNA delivery strategy that simultaneously targets complementary regulatory pathways, enhancing T cell activation, effector differentiation, cytokine production, and cytotoxic molecule expression. Importantly, multiplexed miRNA delivery also improves metabolic activity and proliferative capacity in aged T cells.

Building on the concepts of predatory inclusion and legal estrangement, we argue that civil debt enforcement constitutes a distinct, stratified pathway to institutional distrust\u2014one that parallels and compounds the criminal justice pathway. We introduce the concept of financial estrangement to theorize how the terms of households\u0027 inclusion in credit markets shape their relations with the institutions that enforce private claims. Our concept of financial estrangement brings together concerns from economic sociology, law and society, criminal justice, and race and inequality, and applies them to the context of the marketplace for consumer debt. Drawing on an original probabilistic survey of 2,115 U.S. adults, we show that debt-collection contact is pervasive, racially unequal, and not reducible to differences in household income or financial hardship. Americans overwhelmingly find widespread debt-collection practices unfair, particularly those who have experienced them. Careful analysis reveals that debt-collection contact is associated with perceiving courts as rarely or never fair, even after accounting for hardship levels, income, race\/ethnicity, and arrest history. These findings suggest that civil legal processes tied to mass debt contribute to race- and class-stratified patterns of institutional trust.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin us in-person or online for our final installment of the HSOC Speaker Series for this semester, featuring Professor Fred Wherry and Marie-Lou Laprise from Princeton University\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The HSOC Speaker Series welcomes Professor Levi Vonk, City University of New York, for a lecture on immigration documents and the notion of the \u0022corpus\u0022 on the migrant trail in Mexico."}],"uid":"36009","created_gmt":"2026-10-20 18:18:37","changed_gmt":"2026-10-20 18:23:03","author":"cwhittle9","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-11-16T15:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2026-11-16T16:50:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-11-16T16:50:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-11-16 20:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-11-16 21:50:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-11-16 21:50:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Wilby Classroom, Crosland G120 and Online","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/28870443022861?p=ABC9N4zrgtgnEh3at6","title":"Join Online"},{"url":"https:\/\/hsoc.gatech.edu\/events\/speaker-series","title":"HSOC Speaker Series"}],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1288","name":"School of History and Sociology"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAndrew Buskell\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:abuskell@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eabuskell@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"691555":{"#nid":"691555","#data":{"type":"event","title":"IRIM Fall 2026 Seminar Series |  The Dynamics of Fluid Physical Interaction: Safe, Adaptive, and Compliant Robot Intelligence","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELOCATION UPDATE\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDalney Building \u2013 Room 180\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.app.goo.gl%2Fc4rjT9frxiDFmcm77\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Cchrista.ernst@research.gatech.edu%7Cf725767e563e40d653ad08df2ed13002%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639281148226250700%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=JCGppUyQ6E2J4otQ%2Bf6%2FiWbn5gqHZU6KuFKaCnZ4PpM%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 title=\u0022Original URL: https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/c4rjT9frxiDFmcm77.

Yet even the most advanced systems struggle to achieve what I call fluid physical interaction: a regime where motion, force, and intent predictions are continuously co-regulated through constraint-aware estimation, learning, and control; enabling safe, adaptive, and seamless exchanges of energy and information. Achieving this requires robots that are stable yet flexible, adaptive yet predictable, and compliant yet purposeful. In this talk, I will show how a dynamical-systems perspective provides a unifying foundation for realizing fluid physical interaction. By shaping robot behavior through stable vector fields, viability manifolds, and adaptive dynamics models, we can generate motion policies that remain reactive, safe, and consistent even under uncertainty. I will present recent results that demonstrate how this framework enables robots to generalize complex behaviors from minimal demonstrations, adapt online to changes in their dynamics and environment, avoid obstacles in real time, and maintain long-horizon safety during physical collaboration. I will also discuss new efforts that combine dynamical-systems principles with visuomotor learning to achieve stable, compliant, and force-aware behavior from simulation-guided data. Together, these developments move us closer to embodied, adaptive, and compliant robot intelligence that can truly flow with humans and the environments they inhabit.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003ENadia Figueroa is the Shalini and Rajeev Misra Presidential Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania, with secondary appointments in Computer and Information Science and Electrical and Systems Engineering.

Hence, optimization over the budget of trainable weights, defining the hypothesis class, becomes (highly) non-convex. In this talk we discuss adaptive strategies for enhancing robustness and accuracy of optimization success, revolving around \u0022conditional convergence guarantees\u0022. The main conceptual constituents are natural gradient flow in combination with an adaptive network expansion. Adaptation aims at increasing alignment with an ideal descent path determined by the gradient in the ambient (infinite dimensional) Hilbert space. This can be further combined with perturbed proximal point methods that can be understood as approximate implicit Euler schemes for the ideal Hilbert space gradient flow. The rationale is that each proximal point step is (much) easier to realize than the global optimization task because in each step the initial guess gets the closer to the optimum, the smaller the step-size. This adaptation to an implicit ideal Hilbert space gradient directions is of interest because the dynamical systems arising in the context of natural gradient flows are generically extremely stiff or even DAEs. Exploiting stable variational formulations of the PDE system, allows one to derive in certain relevant cases a posteriori criteria to check whether an approximate proximal step is sufficiently accurate to guarantee convergence. Roughly, network expansions are triggered when these criteria fail to be met even when the step-size reaches some lower bound. In this sense the results can be understood as \u0022conditional convergence\u0022 with accuracy certificates.

While much of the existing research has focused on improving forecasting accuracy, accurate prediction is only the starting point. This talk explores a broader view of time series learning, moving from forecasting toward reasoning and scientific discovery. I will first discuss our work on efficient time series forecasting, introducing cross-architecture knowledge distillation to develop lightweight models that achieve strong predictive performance with reduced computational costs. I will then explore spatio-temporal reasoning, presenting methods that integrate time series, spatial structures, and large language models to understand how events evolve and propagate across connected systems. Finally, I will discuss whether AI can move beyond prediction to discover the underlying mathematical and causal relationships governing temporal dynamics.

Guided by a framework linking the effect of digital infrastructure to local complementary factors, we study the local economic effects of data center entry in the United States using comprehensive facility-level data merged with county-level outcomes. Using the Callaway-Sant\u2019Anna difference-in-differences estimator, we find that data center activation increases local business establishments by 1% over the first three years and 4.7% over the full period we observe. Employment and total wages also rise, alongside increases in building permits and median household income. These business and labor gains persist under narrower comparisons with neighboring untreated counties and synthetic difference-in-differences estimation. A sector-level decomposition shows that full-period establ ishment growth is strongest in information, construction, and real estate. The overall economic response also varies with host conditions and facility development. Specifically, local economic effects are larger in metropolitan than in non-metropolitan counties, total wage gains are larger for Big Tech than for other facilities, and counties receiving additional data centers within five years of first entry experience larger gains than those with isolated entries. On the cost side, the total electricity price rises by roughly 5% over the full observed period in counties whose utilities serve few other counties.

Because they practice at the cutting edge of their fields or on the front lines of government policy, the Flax Lecturers speak not from philosophy or theory but from facts, data, and experience. Topics range from science \u0026amp; technology policy to energy and the environment, from pandemic threats to sustainable development, from artificial intelligence and cyber-security to monetary policy, and even outer space. All Flax lectures are free of charge. Members of the broader Georgia Tech and Atlanta community are welcome to attend.

We have shown that by using MAA-PEG (poly(methacrylic acid-co-polyethylene glycol), 20 mol% MAA) as a vascular regenerative injectable hydrogel, the subcutaneous space becomes an attractive, minimally invasive site for pancreatic islet transplantation. Without the vessels induced by MAA-PEG, the avascular nature of the transplant site and its unique immune response normally precludes islet survival. MAA-PEG also modulates the immune response, so that many islets (but not all) withstand the hypoxia of the first few days before vessels form. Building on work by Babensee, we are focused on using tolerogenic dendritic cells to induce tolerance, while also taking another look at the key features of a host response that results in the generation of vessels and nerves, without fibrosis.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EI will also introduce the concept of Regenerative Healing, derived from conversations with indigenous knowledge holders in Canada.

He received a B.Tech and an M.Tech in Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. He conducted postdoctoral work at the University of California, Los Angeles as a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow in the lab of Dr. Larry Zipursky. His research focuses on the regulation of gene expression in developing nervous systems across space and time.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnimal brains consist of a vast number of neurons (~100 billion in humans, ~100 million in mice), and thousands of neuron-types. These neurons generated at different times and locations in the developing brain come together in precise ways to form specific connections (~100 trillion connections in the human brain). Even subtle defects in wiring are associated with conditions such as autism, schizophrenia and epilepsy. How does biology ensure the assembly of such a complex structure? A key piece of this puzzle is ensuring that the right set of genes are expressed at the right time and in the right place. The Jain lab is trying to address the following questions: 1) How are the timing and cell-type specificity of gene expression controlled in developing neurons to ensure proper circuit formation? 2) How are these mechanisms perturbed in neurodevelopmental disorders? To address these questions, the lab applies single-cell genomics, genetics and molecular biology approaches in the developing mouse and fruit fly visual systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThe \u003C\/em\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/soda\/\u0022\u003E\u003Cem\u003ESpatial Omics and Data Analytics (SODA) Center\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cem\u003E meets monthly for networking, information transfer, and active partnership formation.

In the existing theory of disperse multiphase flows, phase interactions are represented as forces between the phases. It is well known that models using only force-based interactions are ill-posed, resulting in non-hyperbolic governing equations. In this work, using ensemble averaging and nearest particle statistics, the fluid-particle phase interaction is decomposed into a particle-mean-field force (representing the conventional drag force) and the divergence of the particle-fluid-particle (PFP) stress. To explore the physics of PFP stress and develop a practical mathematical model, a series of particle-scale-resolved simulations have been conducted using CFD-DEM-IBM.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EIt is found that for a fluid-particle system with high particle-fluid density ratios, the PFP stress is attractive along the flow direction and repulsive in the direction perpendicular to the flow. This serves as the macroscopic representation of the well-known drafting-kissing-tumbling (DKT) phenomena observed in experiments, which is still absent in existing particle-laden flow theories. To quantify the essential physics, a preliminary PFP stress model, expressed in terms of particle volume fraction and Reynolds number, is proposed based on physical principles and particle-resolved direct numerical simulations.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Min Wang is a Staff Scientist in Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group at Theoretical Division in Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

Unfortunately, continuous, real-time molecular measurement is currently limited to a handful of analytes (i.e. glucose and oxygen) and these sensors cannot be generalized to measure other analytes. In this talk, we will present a biosensor technology that can be generalized to measure a wide range of biomolecules in living subjects. To achieve this, we develop novel reagents (molecular switches) that change its structure upon binding to its target analyte and emit light or produce an electrochemical signal. Our real-time biosensor requires no exogenous reagents and can be readily reconfigured to measure different target analytes by exchanging the molecular switches in a modular manner. Importantly, we will discuss methods for generating the molecular switches which are at the heart of this biosensor technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr\u003EH. Tom Soh is the W.M.

In this talk I present a decade of controlled experiments, often with more than a thousand players inside real games my lab builds, showing that seemingly small design decisions systematically change motivation, performance, and learning. I trace three threads: avatars and identity (why hearing your own voice in a game changes how you play), feedback and juice (what actually makes rich audiovisual feedback motivating), and virtual reality for learning (from tutorial design to a robotics assembly experiment testing how much help VR should give).

In particular, the decision making (optimization) for complex systems such as engineering and economic systems involves human-decision phase. This triggers the occurrences of uncertainties in the decision making phase in addition to the widely-existed inherent uncertainties in the actual systems. In this talk, such challenges will be addressed by summarizing the year\u2019s efforts of the presenter when he was with the University of Manchester before 2016. At first, a generic framework on the decision making for uncertainty systems has been formulated into a \u201cclosed loop control design problem\u201d, where the uncertainties in both decision making phase and the actual systems have been represented by the uncertainty injections to the \u201ccontroller\u201d and to the \u201cplant to be controlled\u201d. The uncertainties in human decision making phase is characterized by their probability density functions (PDF) of the brain-cell\u2019s signal collected via brain-computer-interface (BCI). Using such a generic framework, decision making under uncertainties are formulated as a PDF control problem of objective functions and constraints- leading to a total solution for the stochastic optimization for complex systems. Two case studies will be presented together with the rationale and claims that most of the existing stochastic optimizations are special cases of the presented theory. Note that the presentation is based upon the published materials by the author.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EProfessor Hong Wang (Member of European Academy of Sciences and Arts, FIEEE, FIET, FInstMC, SMIEEE) received the BSc form Anhui University of Science and Technology in 1982, the master\u2019s and Ph.D. degrees from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 1984 and 1987, respectively.

In contrast to the global KL or PL conditions commonly assumed in the literature\u2014which are significantly stronger and often too restrictive in practice\u2014this local KL condition accommodates a broader range of practical scenarios. However, it also introduces new analytical challenges. In particular, as an optimization algorithm approaches a stationary point, the region over which the KL condition holds may shrink, leading to a more intricate and potentially ill-conditioned landscape. To address this challenge, we show that the associated maximal function is locally generalized H\u00f6lder smooth. Leveraging this key property, we develop an inexact proximal gradient method for solving the minimax problem, where the inexact gradient of the maximal function is computed by applying a proximal gradient or sequential convex programming method to a KL-structured subproblem. Under mild assumptions, we establish complexity guarantees for computing an approximate stationary point of the minimax problem.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThis is joint work with Xiangyuan Wang (University of Minnesota).\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EZhaosong Lu is a Full Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

Classical DIP suffers from severe overfitting and spectral bias effects. We present an analysis of when and how DIP recovers images from limited\/corrupted data by studying its learning dynamics in the kernel regime. We then propose a self-guided DIP that significantly outperforms classical DIP and is competitive against supervised and diffusion models (DMs) trained with a lot of data. Second, DMs, when exhibiting strong image reconstruction performance, often rely on domain-matched pretraining and large training sets. We propose TRACE, a trajectory-constrained reconstruction framework that replaces the pretrained DM with an untrained network optimized like in DIP and organizes reconstruction as a sequence of intermediate states. At each step, TRACE enforces stochastic proximal consistency (SPC) by inferring the reconstruction from a stochastically perturbed predecessor under measurement consistency, while proximally constraining the resulting estimate to its predecessor. A local Jacobian analysis characterizes how SPC regularizes the reconstruction. TRACE demonstrates strong performance against both untrained and pretrained neural-priors with the trajectory constraint improving even pretrained DM-based inverse solvers. Lastly, deep neural networks trained using gradient descent with fixed learning rate often operate in the regime of edge of stability (EOS), where the largest Hessian eigenvalue equilibrates about a stability threshold. Here, we analyze the learning dynamics of deep linear networks (DLNs) in deep matrix factorization beyond EOS, and show that loss oscillations follow a period-doubling route to chaos. Oscillations occur within a small subspace, whose dimension depends on the learning rate. The results help explain two key phenomena in deep networks: shallow models and simple tasks do not always exhibit EOS; and oscillations occur within top features.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Saiprasad Ravishankar is currently an Associate Professor in the Departments of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU).

Our studies have helped quantify how meditation techniques impact human brain and health. The studies were conducted on new meditators over six weeks of practice with multiple meditation techniques including breath-focus and mantra-based meditation. Results showed improvements in various subjective stress and psychological measures and latencies in objective P300 speller tests (tied to cognitive performance) for meditating groups relative to a control group. Studies of neural dynamics for mantra-based meditation using Electroencephalography (EEG) revealed marked differences in alpha oscillatory dynamics for different mantras used during training. Complex mantras such as Hare Krishna may generate higher cognitive demands and induce more activating, attentionally focused meditative states with oscillatory patterns persisting after meditation, whereas simple mantras and breath-focus meditation promote more relaxed states. We also show the capability of machine learned models to distinguish cognitive\/meditative states as well as different types of meditation techniques over time across many subjects, which can enable future neurofeedback applications for improving mental health. Along with presenting results, we will also have a hands-on experience of the studied meditation techniques.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E Saiprasad Ravishankar is currently an Associate Professor in the Departments of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU).

They have proven to be powerful in areas such as surrogate model development, hypothesis generation, and data analysis. Often, these approaches rely on a parameterized function approximation known as the neural network. These approximators are renowned for their flexibility and relative ease of use (if not accuracy). With that ease of use comes a large computational expense. For instance, recent work has demonstrated that pre-training a LLM on the Frontier supercomputer would require two years with ideal parallelization [1]. This talk seeks to examine the neural network with a scientific computing lens to enhance our ability to understand details of the approximation and improve training. Underpinning these ideas is an aspirational hypothesis that insights will lead to multilevel (or hierarchical) methodologies to accelerate training using dramatically fewer resources.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThis talk proceeds in two parts. In the first part, we discuss an adaptive basis perspective that has proved fruitful in Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) [2]. The central idea is that the output of the penultimate layer can be seen as providing a basis for the approximation space. With this perspective we develop efficient \u201coperator-split\u201d training algorithms, and new initialization strategies motivated by stability concerns. The second part extends the adaptive basis perspective by considering all layers of the neural network to be basis functions in a learned approximation space. We discuss the challenges associated with the typical neural network architectures that use globally supported basis functions. We then describe Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KANs) as an alternate architecture built on locally supported splines basis functions [3]. A one-to-one relationship between KANs and a multi-channel ReLU network is shown and used to argue a relaxation property reminiscent of properties of matrix-split iterative linear solvers. Finally, using a natural refinement algorithm combined with the relaxation property, we develop a multilevel training algorithm for KANs demonstrating it on problems in SciML.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Col\u003E\u003Cli data-list-item-id=\u0022e444084b295c08274aac2ae5c89867c46\u0022\u003EDash, et al., Optimizing distributed training on frontier for large language models.

Cyr has been at Sandia Albuquerque since 2009 and is a Distinguished Member of the Technical staff. Prior to that he received a BS in Computer Science from Clemson University in 2002, and a PhD in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008. His formal training is in numerical methods, and scientific computing. As a Sandian he has worked in a range of diverse areas including high-performance computing, preconditioners for multi-physics, discretizations for computational plasma simulation, sensitivity analysis for PDEs, numerical optimization, and software development for science applications. In 2018, Eric received the DOE Early Career Award to fund a focus on developing layer-parallel methods for training deep neural networks. This work has broadened his exposure to machine learning. To this end, Eric is working to extend the applicability of HPC to deep learning, understand the behavior and approximation properties of neural networks, and develop methodologies where machine learning can be used to enhance the impact of computation on science and engineering disciplines.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Eric C.

This talk examines how computational tools can expand creative possibilities while preserving room for makers to interpret, experiment, and change direction. I argue that supporting creative agency requires attention to material qualities, making practices, and human expertise. This perspective frames a critical discussion of AI: what it might enable, what forms of exploration it might displace, and how its contribution should be evaluated beyond convenience and artifact quality. I develop these ideas through more than a decade of research on automata making, which combines engineering, craft, and storytelling through mechanical movement. Projects from Paper Mechatronics to MotionSmith, involving professional artists, educators, and young makers, provide cases for examining how computational support takes shape across tools, materials, and people. These cases reflect tensions around what to simplify, what to make understandable, and what to leave open for experimentation, revision, and creative discovery.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E HyunJoo Oh is a designer, design researcher, and Associate Professor jointly appointed in the School of Industrial Design and the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech.

We recently revealed that the PIEZO1 mechanosensing axis actively safeguards membrane integrity through a hierarchical, two-layer mechanoprotective mechanism. This involves rapid architectural buffering followed by a calcium-dependent positive feedback loop engaging Calmodulin and Filamin A to reinforce cortical stability. This fundamental discovery in mechanoprotection serves as the blueprint for our translational innovations in \u0022Thrombo-protective Oncology.\u0022 By engineering a microfluidic \u0022CAT-on-chip\u0022 to recapitulate venous shear stress, we discovered that metastatic cancer cells exploit a strikingly similar mechanobiological network to trigger pathological clotting. Specifically, tumor-induced hypercoagulation is driven by a Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK)-Calmodulin (CaM) axis, which structurally \u0022decrypts\u0022 Tissue Factor (TF) by disengaging it from cytoskeletal Filamin A. To translate these microfluidic discoveries into clinical practice, we developed \u0022SmartClot\u0022, an AI-driven Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) platform that rapidly stratifies cancer-driven thrombotic risk using blood diffusion kinetics. This seminar will highlight how decoding fundamental nanoscale mechanosensing paves the way for next-generation diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr\u003EProfessor Lining Arnold Ju (PhD, GAICD, FHEA) is a Snow Fellow, Australian Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellow, and recipient of the Australian Academy of Science John Booker Medal. He received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Tech and Emory University in 2013 and now directs the Mechanobiology and Biomechanics Laboratory (MBL) at the University of Sydney\u0027s School of Biomedical Engineering.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJu\u2019s research operates at the intersection of fundamental mechanobiology and biomedical engineering. His team recently decoded the PIEZO1 mechanosensing axis and has pioneered multiple biomechanical nanotools, including multi-parametric thrombus profiling microfluidics (\u0022CAT-on-chip\u0022) and patient-specific vessel-on-a-chip platforms. His novel understanding of the mechanics behind blood clot formation has directly driven the development of point-of-care testing (POCT) technologies, such as the machine learning-assisted SmartClot diagnostic tool. His overarching vision integrates advanced biomanufacturing, high-throughput microfluidic phenotyping, and generative AI to create intelligent biosensing technologies to predict and prevent cardiovascular and cancer-associated thrombotic risks.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:andres.garcia@me.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EAndr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda\u003C\/a\u003E, faculty host\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Ch5\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0022The PIEZO1 Mechanosensing Axis: From Fundamental Membrane Mechanoprotection to Microfluidic and POCT Innovations in Thrombo-Oncology\u0022 \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E- Lining Arnold Ju, University of Sydney\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h5\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022The PIEZO1 Mechanosensing Axis: From Fundamental Membrane Mechanoprotection to Microfluidic and POCT Innovations in Thrombo-Oncology\u0022 - Lining Arnold Ju, University of Sydney"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2026-08-13 19:32:05","changed_gmt":"2026-10-03 18:43:09","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-11-02T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2026-11-02T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-11-02T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-11-02 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-11-02 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-11-02 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotechnology Building (IBB), Suddath Seminar Room 1128, Atlanta, GA 30332","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

However, reliable robotic assembly in construction remains challenging due to uncertainties associated with variability in component geometry and material properties; tolerance accumulation during fabrication and assembly; discrepancies between as-designed and as-built states; incomplete observations resulting from limited sensing coverage of large components, occlusion, and clutter; and unmodeled contact dynamics. These challenges are particularly pronounced in contact-rich robotic assembly at construction scale, where small geometric deviations or pose estimation errors can prevent insertion, generate excessive contact forces, or damage components.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo address these challenges, this lecture presents a framework for contact-rich robotic assembly in construction that integrates perception, planning, and control. Within this framework, three complementary approaches are examined: adaptive control to compensate for model mismatch and disturbances; learned sensorimotor policies to handle complex, tight-tolerance interactions for which effective control strategies are difficult to formulate analytically; and a hybrid approach that combines learned policies with adaptive control to improve robustness and enable zero-shot sim-to-real transfer without real-world demonstrations for policy training. Through construction-scale case studies, the lecture highlights key methods, experimental findings, and current limitations of these approaches. It concludes by discussing open challenges and future directions for generalizing across material systems and component geometries, transferring skills between tasks, and extending these methods to longer assembly sequences in construction.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Arash Adel is an Assistant Professor at the School of Architecture, a Core Faculty of Princeton Robotics, and an Associated Faculty of the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University.

A model must preserve what matters from the past while allowing new events to unfold, respond to user input, and remain computationally efficient as generation unfolds. In this talk, I will explore these challenges through a central question:\u0026nbsp;What should a video model remember, and how should it use that memory?\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EI will present three complementary approaches to rethinking memory in autoregressive video generation. First, Infinity-RoPE (CVPR\u201926) revisits how temporal context is organized, enabling longer video generation and more responsive control through inference-time interventions. Next, AdaState (NeurIPS\u201926) replaces a frozen anchor frame with an evolving latent state, balancing temporal consistency with dynamic scene progression. Finally, VideoMLA (NeurIPS\u201926) rethinks how video models store and access past context, substantially compressing their memory while preserving generation quality.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EI will close with broader directions toward controllable world models (SPAWN, NeurIPS\u201926), physically grounded (HiPhy, NeurIPS\u201926) and diverse (DPP-GRPO, CVPR\u201926) video generation models.

Simply put, she studies the role of the body, the senses, and emotion in human perception and social change. Boisvert is currently mapping the world\u0027s first media genome, while taking great care with its far-reaching ethical implications. She founded futurePerfect lab, a creative agency and think-tank that works with social justice organizations to design playful emerging media campaigns to transform the public imagination. She also co-founded XTH, a company creating novel modes of expression through biotechnology and the human body. Presently, she is working with David Byrne on Theater of the Mind, a new immersive theater piece. Boisvert is the Chair of the new School of Arts, Entertainment and Creative Technologies in the College of Design.

This approach leverage general relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (GRMHD) simulations, cosmological simulations, and observational data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), DESI, JWST, as well as other large astronomical surveys to investigate how physical processes across vastly different scales jointly shape galaxy evolution over cosmic time.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAt horizon scales, I will introduce a novel E\/B-mode polarization correlation framework developed to probe SMBH properties, including BH\u0027s spin and magnetic field geometry near the event horizon. I will then move to galaxy scales, where I will discuss how cosmological simulations can be used to study the morphological evolution of galaxies and reveal how stellar distributions encode valuable information about the nature of dark matter and the assembly history of galaxies across cosmic time.I will further present the feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN-feedback) as a key mechanism linking BH physics to galaxy evolution across scales.

Galaxy evolution is inherently a multi-scale process that connects a wide range of physical phenomena, from horizon-scale black hole (BH) astrophysics to baryonic processes operating on galactic and circumgalactic scales across cosmic time.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this\u0026nbsp;talk, I will present a multi-scale framework for studying galaxy evolution, spanning from horizon-scale supermassive black holes (SMBHs) to the morphological evolution of galaxies and baryonic feedback processes. This approach leverage general relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (GRMHD) simulations, cosmological simulations, and observational data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), DESI, JWST, as well as other large astronomical surveys to investigate how physical processes across vastly different scales jointly shape galaxy evolution over cosmic time.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAt horizon scales, I will introduce a novel E\/B-mode polarization correlation framework developed to probe SMBH properties, including BH\u0027s spin and magnetic field geometry near the event horizon. I will then move to galaxy scales, where I will discuss how cosmological simulations can be used to study the morphological evolution of galaxies and reveal how stellar distributions encode valuable information about the nature of dark matter and the assembly history of galaxies across cosmic time.I will further present the feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN-feedback) as a key mechanism linking BH physics to galaxy evolution across scales. In this context, I will discuss cosmological simulations with different AGN-feedback prescriptions designed to investigate how feedback regulates galaxy morphology and star formation.

While they initially generated considerable enthusiasm as a rehabilitation therapy for restoring walking after spinal cord injury (SCI), evidence indicates their value for this purpose is limited.\u0026nbsp; However there are other needs of the SCI population for which exoskeletons hold great promise.\u0026nbsp; In this talk we will review evidence from research evaluating robotic exoskeletons as interventions to improve walking function after SCI, focusing on whether walking gains achieved in the device translate to meaningful improvements in walking outside the device. To analyze the limited translation from exoskeleton training to real-world walking we will examine how exoskeleton training differs from locomotor training. However, focusing solely on walking recovery may underestimate the broader potential of these technologies.\u0026nbsp; The most compelling future role for robotic exoskeletons is as mobility technologies that provide meaningful access to upright movement and community mobility for individuals who cannot otherwise walk independently. Achieving this vision will require substantial advances in device design, usability, adaptability, safety, and integration with the real-world environments in which people with SCI live and move.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Edelle (Edee) Field-Fote, PT, PhD, FAPTA, FASIA holds the positions of Director, Shepherd Center Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Research Program \u0026amp; Hulse Laboratory; Professor, Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine; and Professor of the Practice, Georgia Institute of Technology, School of Biological Sciences.

Solving these issues requires increasing renewable energy generation and storage capacity at exponential rates. To achieve this, we must rapidly improve existing technologies while discovering and optimising new materials and devices at unprecedented speed to ensure diverse, secure energy supply with resilient, domestic supply chains. However, unlike incumbent semiconductors, next-generation energy devices are highly disordered on multiple length scales, and this has massive implications for their operating principles, performance and stability. Understanding and improving these devices requires high resolution and throughput characterisation of this multiscale disorder.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this presentation, I will describe the development of multimodal microscopy toolkits sensitive to optical and electronic\/electrochemical activity, crystal structure, and chemical composition.

Using halide perovskite semiconductors as a highly disordered model system, I will discuss the origins of their remarkable tolerance to extremely high concentrations of defects, the chemical and structural origins of this disorder, and how this disorder is predictive of solar cell performance and degradation. Then, in a range of rechargeable battery chemistries, I will show, with single particle resolution, how disorder can seed capacity loss and irreversible degradation, but can also unlock exciting new applications.

When agents have correlated preferences, popular options can attract too much demand, reduce overall efficiency, and lead to poor market outcomes. In this\u0026nbsp;talk, I will present a framework for two-sided assortment optimization that studies how a platform should decide which options to display to agents and in what order, with the goal of improving matching performance. The main focus will be on maximizing the expected number of matches under general choice models. I will describe several natural classes of platform policies, ranging from static simultaneous displays to fully adaptive sequential policies, and compare their power through adaptivity gap results. I will also discuss polynomial-time approximation algorithms for computing near-optimal policies, and then briefly discuss the revenue-maximization version of the problem, where matches generate pair-dependent rewards.

Traditional regression models and Gaussian process (GP) approaches with fixed parametric kernels often fail to model such complex data effectively while maintaining scalability and interpretability. This talk introduces a family of modern Bayesian GP frameworks that integrate deep kernel learning, neural network priors, and geometric modeling for large-scale neuroimaging analysis. An example is the Deep Kernel Learning Process (DKLP), which embeds deep neural networks within GP priors to learn data-adaptive covariance structures directly from imaging data. DKLP provides a unified modeling foundation for image-on-scalar, scalar-on-image, and image-on-image regression, supported by theoretical guarantees and efficient posterior computation. Applications to fMRI data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study reveal reproducible cortical activation patterns associated with cognitive ability, while analyses of EEG-based brain\u2013computer interface data demonstrate robust neural decoding under high noise. I will also discuss scalable heat-kernel GPs on manifolds and thresholded GP\u2013based spatially varying neural network priors, which together expand the scope of Bayesian inference for complex neuroimaging data.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Jian Kang is Professor and Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan.

Dysregulated intestinal enzyme activities give rise to a broad range of GI pathologies and can therefore serve as functional biomarkers of disease. However, current strategies for enzyme activity measurements often rely on invasive endoscopy to biopsy intestinal tissue samples for activity measurements in the clinical lab. As an alternative to endscopy, we have developed a new Volatile-releasing Activity-based Probe (VAPR) platform that enables remote sensing of pathology-causing intestinal enzyme activities via breath testing. The platform comprises ingestible sugar-based probes that sense and produce breath signals for specific intestinal glycosidase activities.

Their goal is to develop solutions that can be readily translated at the point of care, for at-home use, or deployed for infectious disease surveillance to promote public health. To achieve this, they integrate nanomaterial design, chemical biology, and medicine and leverage collaborations with clinicians, immunologists, microbiologists, and other engineers.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Ch2\u003EThis Seminar Has Been Canceled\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIngestible Molecular Probes for Gastrointestinal Disease\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPresented by: Leslie Chan, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Wallace H.

However, conventional quality control using supervised learning relies on abundant labeled data and assumes that future product defects or process faults resemble those known during training. In practice, new defect types emerge, while abnormal conditions may be rarely observed or completely unknown. These challenges are particularly important for in-situ quality control, where defects must be detected or correctly classified for real-time decision-making, including newly emerging defects with limited or unavailable labels. Moreover, for latent defects that cannot be directly inspected online, defects must instead be predicted from indirect process-sensing signals. This requires mapping process-signal changes to possible defects despite scarce or unavailable defect training samples. This talk explores how advances in AI can address these challenges and enable more adaptive and intelligent in-situ quality control and decision-making for smart manufacturing.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Judy Jin is the A.

This leaves admixed individuals, whose genomes are mosaics of ancestry tracts from multiple continental populations, frequently excluded from analysis due to concerns over population stratification. My lab addresses this gap by developing and applying tools leveraging local ancestry: a technique that assigns ancestral origin to each segment of the genome, rather than summarizing ancestry for individuals using a single label.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EI will present work spanning three areas. First, a simulation-based framework establishing best practices for local ancestry inference across reference panel compositions, admixture demographics, and genotype discovery approaches. Second, our recently published method Tractor-Mix, a local ancestry-informed mixed model that extends our earlier Tractor framework to enable well-calibrated GWAS in admixed cohorts with relatedness. We demonstrate Tractor-Mix\u2019s performance across multiple large datasets including the UK Biobank, Yale-Penn cohort, and Mexico City Prospective Study, finding novel loci missed by traditional methods and better determining the ancestry driving unique signals. Third, I will describe our application of local ancestry inference across more than 140,000 genomes in gnomAD, which substantially refines ancestry-specific allele frequency estimates with direct implications for clinical variant interpretation. Together, this work illustrates how ancestry-aware statistical methods can improve genetic discovery, risk prediction, and variant interpretation across the full range of human genetic diversity.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ELocal Ancestry Inference as a Tool for Genetic Discovery and Variant Interpretation in Admixed Populations\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Local Ancestry Inference as a Tool for Genetic Discovery and Variant Interpretation in Admixed Populations"}],"uid":"36927","created_gmt":"2026-09-16 17:54:08","changed_gmt":"2026-09-16 17:56:35","author":"tissa3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2027-02-04T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2027-02-04T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2027-02-04T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2027-02-04 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2027-02-04 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2027-02-04 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"CHOA EBB 1005","extras":["free_food"],"hg_media":{"681178":{"id":"681178","type":"image","title":"Dr. Elizabeth Atkinson","body":null,"created":"1789581332","gmt_created":"2026-09-16 17:55:32","changed":"1789581332","gmt_changed":"2026-09-16 17:55:32","alt":"Dr. Elizabeth Atkinson","file":{"fid":"265543","name":"Elizabeth_Atkinson.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/09\/16\/Elizabeth_Atkinson.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/09\/16\/Elizabeth_Atkinson.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":337950,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/09\/16\/Elizabeth_Atkinson.jpg?itok=fBFYhsPB"}}},"media_ids":["681178"],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"172458","name":"biological sciences"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003Erbailey74@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"692624":{"#nid":"692624","#data":{"type":"event","title":"The School of Biological Sciences Fall 2026 Seminar Series presents Dr. Vaughn Cooper","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EExperimental evolution in vivo is a powerful approach to identify the selective pressures shaping bacterial adaptation during infection, yet how host immunity modulates these evolutionary trajectories remains a fundamental gap in infection biology. Applying whole-population genomic sequencing to replicate bacterial populations serially passaged through murine or porcine infection models, we demonstrate that niche-specific selective pressures produce convergent genetic adaptations, including parallel mutations modulating pneumococcal surface charge during colonization and prophage-mediated disruption of global regulators during chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa wound infection. Host immune status critically shapes these trajectories, as neutropenic hosts broaden mutational pathways to fluoroquinolone resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii while functional immunity constrains the outgrowth of resistant variants. Most recently, we show that Streptococcus pneumoniae subjected to combined antibiotic and immune pressure evolves convergent mutations altering the RNA degradosome that confer broad-spectrum antibiotic tolerance through a bet-hedging transcriptional strategy influenced by host immune state.

Yet the breadth and implications of this behavior remain elusive across the lifespan. Aberrations in assembly properties can drive the spread of disease pathology within and, in extreme cases, between individuals. Yet how self-assembly differs in youth, age, and disease remains poorly understood, especially in vertebrates. Using ligand-controllable degrons, we created a versatile reporter system to quantify self-assembly and its transmissibility on a proteome-wide scale. Remarkably, both properties were widespread across all domains of life. In the human proteome, self-assembly was strongly enriched among proteins pivotal for early development, stress responses, and intercellular communication. Disease-associated mutations, particularly those linked to neurodegenerative disorders and cancer, frequently altered condensation and templating behaviors, suggesting a direct link to pathogenesis. Using both machine learning and biochemical reconstitution, we leveraged this large dataset to identify new molecular determinants of protein self-assembly into liquids, gels, and solids, as well as their capacity for prion-like templating over long biological timescales. Finally, employing the African turquoise killifish \u2013 a model vertebrate with a compressed lifespan \u2013 we extended our proteomic analysis to reveal parallels in aging tissues. With advancing age, the prion-like assembly of specific proteins increased substantially. In the same aged tissues, the molecular chaperones that act on these proteins also aggregated concomitantly, highlighting a negative feedback loop that may further impair proteostasis and intensify aggregation. Indeed, a segmental progeria model exhibited increased aggregation only in tissues with signatures of accelerated aging. Collectively, these lines of evidence establish that protein self-assembly and self-templating are far more common in vertebrate proteomes than previously appreciated and suggest that their advantages in youth may be inseparable from costs in aging and disease.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EProtein-Based Inheritance: Epigenetics Beyond the Chromosome\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Protein-Based Inheritance: Epigenetics Beyond the Chromosome"}],"uid":"36927","created_gmt":"2026-09-16 17:05:10","changed_gmt":"2026-09-16 17:40:34","author":"tissa3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-10-29T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-10-29T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-10-29T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-10-29 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-10-29 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-10-29 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"CHOA EBB 1005","extras":[],"hg_media":{"681172":{"id":"681172","type":"image","title":"Image of Dr. Daniel Jarosz","body":null,"created":"1789578487","gmt_created":"2026-09-16 17:08:07","changed":"1789578487","gmt_changed":"2026-09-16 17:08:07","alt":"Image of Dr. Daniel Jarosz","file":{"fid":"265535","name":"Daniel-J.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/09\/16\/Daniel-J.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/09\/16\/Daniel-J.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":10965,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/09\/16\/Daniel-J.jpg?itok=oKBXFb9l"}}},"media_ids":["681172"],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"172458","name":"biological sciences"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003Erbailey74@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"692617":{"#nid":"692617","#data":{"type":"event","title":"The School of Biological Sciences Fall 2026 Seminar Series presents Dr. Guizhi (Julian) Zhu","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EOur ultimate research goal is to develop clinically translatable nucleic acid therapeutics and vaccines.

By folding online estimates of the follower\u0027s objective into the leader\u0027s decision process, this framework captures the coupling between inference and control, and reveals that, unlike in optimal control, our standard notion of optimality is not consistent over time. I then turn to settings where independent decision-making is insufficient for achieving desirable outcomes, and show how correlated strategies offer a richer coordination mechanism, although it still needs to be reconciled with dynamical constraints.

For example, respondents may over-report their family origin and volunteering experiences while under-reporting their drinking and smoking behaviors. In this study I examine a social network-based approach to addressing self-reporting bias, which is to ask peers (e.g. classmates or co-workers) to provide alternative reports that can be used to cross-validate and supplement self-reports. I first formalize the data generation process statistically by proposing a model containing two sub-models, one for the self-reports and the other for the peer-reports. In each of the sub-models, I treat the observed report as a probabilistic realization of a truthful report and a false report. The model can incorporate both self- and peer-characteristics and also dyadic characteristics. A Bayesian approach helps make the model self-containing by imposing a prior on the unknown ego\u0027s behavior. Then the Bayesian approach simulates self- and peer-reports according to the data generation process iteratively until the simulated reports emulate the observed reports. Through a case study on self- and peer-reports of smoking among adolescents, I demonstrate that the Bayesian approach can not only reveal how multiple characteristics are related to reporting biases but also incorporate these characteristics effectively into the imputation of the true behavior.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Weihua An is Professor and Chair of Sociology and Professor of Data and Decision Sciences at Emory University.

To show the potential of solar irrigation system to mitigate this critical problem, a research project has been developed with the collaboration of Georgia Tech, University of Rwanda and Adama Science and Technology University. The project aims at developing a PV irrigation system that integrates IoT and controllers for real-time monitoring of the performance of the PV-irrigation system and for optimizing water conservation.

Our laboratory is interested in how these mechanical experiences influence cell behavior, state, and fate across cancer, stem cell, and developmental systems. Using engineered microchannels, we have shown that adult stem cells can navigate highly confined spaces and that this process is accompanied by changes in differentiation-associated transcription factors and epigenetic state. We have also developed high-throughput porous confinement platforms that allow migrated cell populations to be isolated and subjected to downstream molecular profiling, providing a way to connect physical behavior with transcriptional and epigenomic changes at scale. More recently, we have extended these questions into development using primordial germ cells, which undergo striking nuclear deformation as they migrate through narrow interstitial spaces in vivo. Together, this work supports a broader view of confinement not simply as a barrier to migration, but as a potentially instructive mechanical signal that helps shape cellular identity and maturation.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003EBIO\u003Cbr\u003EAndrew Holle received a Bachelor of Science, Engineering (B.S.E) from Arizona State University, where he worked in labs of Christine Pauken and Deirdre Meldrum.

There, he identified the mechanosensitive role of the focal adhesion protein vinculin in substrate stiffness-induced stem cell differentiation. Looking to explore the commonalities between stem cell and cancer mechanobiology, he then joined Prof. Joachim Spatz\u2019s Cellular Biophysics group at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (Stuttgart, Germany). There, he used photolithography and microfluidics to build microchannel assays to better characterize cancer cell invasion and migration in confinement.

During aging, the extracellular matrix undergoes substantial changes in its composition, architecture, and mechanical properties, yet how these changes contribute to age-associated cellular dysfunction remains incompletely understood. Our work focuses on defining how age-related matrix remodeling alters cell behavior and developing experimental approaches to disentangle the biochemical and mechanical contributions of the extracellular environment. This talk will highlight our studies of extracellular matrix mechanobiology across aging tissues, together with biomaterial platforms that recapitulate key matrix properties in vitro at the micro- and nanoscale. By combining measurements of native tissue mechanics with highly defined engineered microenvironments, we aim to uncover mechanisms through which the aging matrix regulates cell and tissue function and identify opportunities for matrix-based therapeutic strategies.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003EBIO\u003Cbr\u003EJennifer Young was trained as a biomedical engineer at the University of California, San Diego.

The next ten years resulted in rethinking what kinds of computational devices we can and should create, with an ultimate focus on sustainable electronics.

Computational analysis of menstrual blood loss and uterine vascular anatomy suggests that spiral arterioles are a plausible major source of menstrual bleeding. The high shear rates generated within these small vessels may also favor shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA), providing a potential mechanism for rapid hemostasis following endometrial shedding. An ongoing clinical study at Georgia Tech examines whether dysfunction in SIPA and primary hemostasis is present in a subset of women with HMB. This work connects spiral arteriole hemodynamics with clinical measurements of hemostatic function to better understand why menstrual bleeding becomes excessive in some women.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u201c\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESynthetic Notch Circuits Enable In Vivo Measurement of Endogenous Forces on Immune Cell Receptors\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u201d - Menglan Li, Research Scientist, Georgia Tech\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch6\u003EAbstract\u003C\/h6\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUnderstanding how mechanical forces influence the signaling pathways of immunoreceptors is essential for advancing research in immunology and immunotherapy. Despite in vitro evidence of endogenous forces exerted by immune cells on immunoreceptors, in vivo measurement has been challenging due to technological limitations. Here, we present a novel technology platform based on synthetic Notch (SynNotch) circuits, enabling in vivo reporting of cell-generated forces on specific receptors. Our platform utilizes the mechano-sensitive properties of the Notch receptor, re-engineering it by replacing its ligand-binding domain with a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of an antibody targeting the receptor of interest. The SynNotch receptor\u0027s activation induces the expression of a reporter gene. By adoptively transferring receiver cells expressing SynNotch into animals, we can measure the forces exerted by sender cells on the target receptor in vivo. We validated this platform using T cells as receiver cells and B cells as sender cells, with CD40 as the target receptor. Our results showed that B cells exert forces on CD40-SynNotch bonds, leading to the activation of SynNotch at forces around 2.4 pN per bond, increasing to a plateau at approximately 6.4 pN per bond. This mechanotransduction significantly influenced B cell signaling.

This talk emphasizes their interpretation as dynamic partial differential equations that transport the data distribution to a known prior via a learned velocity field. That viewpoint exposes their theoretical underpinnings and grounds our discussion of some key issues and current progress. (1) Scientific data often lies on a lower-dimensional constraint set, where no ambient density exists and both scores and Jacobian log-determinants blow up; I present a constraint-aware perturbation that restores stable training and then show where its guarantees stop. (2) The velocity field\u0027s regularity at the endpoints, (3) the gap between an objective whose exact minimizer memorizes and models that nonetheless generalize, and (4) the relationship between straight trajectories and optimal ones have all seen recent answers.

Our team has been studying fungi for drug leads effective in the fight against cancer, with an emphasis on ovarian cancer, and this presentation will peer into two different chapters of that ongoing story. The verticillins are potent, cytotoxic leads, first discovered over 50 years ago. Our emphasis has been on amplifying their supply, generating semisynthetic analogues, understanding their mechanism of action, and optimizing their delivery. In contrast, wheldone is a molecule that we first described recently. Interestingly, it is only biosynthesized via the antagonism of two fungi fighting for limited resources in co-culture.

We apply our methods to examine electron and spin dynamics, non-adiabatic processes, and charge transport in complex molecular and material systems including weakly-bound molecular clusters, chiral and helical molecules, and perovskites. In this talk, I will highlight our recent development of a new methodology to unravel the competing electronic relaxation pathways following inner-shell ionization in weakly bound systems. When an inner-shell electron is removed, another electron relaxes to fill the vacancy, which can transfer energy to a nearby entity, generating a low-energy secondary ionized electron. Critically, the location of the electron that relaxes and the secondary ionized electron can originate from either the original molecule or a neighboring molecule. The relaxation can also compete with electron, hole, and even proton transfer. Our work combines real-time DFT with a complex absorbing potential to simulate the explicit dynamics of this complex array of processes. We have additionally introduced coupled electron-nuclear dynamics through Ehrenfest dynamics, which enabled an in-depth investigation of the fragmentation pathways in the water dimer following inner-valence ionization. Our simulations identified a previously unknown relaxation channel essential to reproducing the experimentally observed fragmentation products of our collaborators, prompting a reinterpretation of the origin of low-energy electrons in hydrogen-bonded systems such as water.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EOne in the series of the SoCB seminars.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"School of Chemistry \u0026 Biochemistry - Seminar Series"}],"uid":"35342","created_gmt":"2026-08-27 15:09:34","changed_gmt":"2026-09-02 18:29:07","author":"mcurtis41","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-09-03T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-09-03T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-09-03T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-09-03 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-09-03 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-09-03 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"MoSE 3201A","extras":[],"hg_media":{"681009":{"id":"681009","type":"image","title":"georgia-tech-ppt-2022-ChemistrySample.jpg","body":null,"created":"1788186443","gmt_created":"2026-08-31 14:27:23","changed":"1788186443","gmt_changed":"2026-08-31 14:27:23","alt":"jk","file":{"fid":"265356","name":"georgia-tech-ppt-2022-ChemistrySample.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/08\/31\/georgia-tech-ppt-2022-ChemistrySample.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/08\/31\/georgia-tech-ppt-2022-ChemistrySample.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":178097,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/08\/31\/georgia-tech-ppt-2022-ChemistrySample.jpg?itok=hm0T84dp"}}},"media_ids":["681009"],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHost:\u003C\/strong\u003E David Sherrill\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"692211":{"#nid":"692211","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Coulter BME Seminar Series: Patrick Kanold, Ph.D","body":[{"value":"\u003Ch2\u003ELearning how to hear: The Influence of Early Sensory Experience and Action on Early Cortical Circuits\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOur research aims to understand how experiences and interactions with the world shape the brain. We investigate how sensory representations and microcircuits in the cerebral cortex evolve over time and how they are influenced by experience of the world. Since hearing is a crucial sense for communication in both humans and animals, we focus on the auditory system. We utilize a variety of approaches from vivo 2-photon imaging to in vitro electrophysiology.

Our findings reveal that the early developing cortex contains specialized circuits formed by subplate neurons. Functionally, we find that subplate neurons contain an early protomap of cortical organization and that these neurons provide an early substrate for experience-dependent changes, even before the traditional \u201ccritical period.\u201d Moreover, our recent work indicate that self-generated actions contribute to the cortical neuronal activity in early development.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThus, our results paint a more nuanced picture, suggesting that both sensory experiences and self-generated actions during early development, before the critical period, can have influences on brain function.

She then earned her MD, PhD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where she studied the biology of human T cell activation under the direction of her PhD mentor, Dr. Carl June. After completing her doctorate degrees, Marcela did a one-year postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Kathy High at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia studying patient immune responses to liver-directed AAV-mediate gene transfer as a treatment for hemophilia. She then completed her clinical training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology as a resident at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and a fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. While at Memorial Sloan Kettering, she worked in Michel Sadelain\u2019s lab to engineer new genetically modified T cells to target the cancer-testis antigen NY-ESO-1 and received specialized training in Phase I developmental therapeutics. She was also awarded a K08 grant by the NIH to facilitate her transition to a faculty position.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFollowing her extensive training (11 years), Marcela returned to the University of Pennsylvania in 2012, where she was recruited by her former PhD mentor, to expand their research efforts in the development of CAR T cells for lymphoma, myeloma, and other cancers. While there, Marcela continued her efforts on preclinical development of CAR T cells and correlative studies of CAR T cell-related toxicities and resistance to therapies. They discovered and reported on the first cases of anaphylaxis to CAR T cells and off target cross-reactivity. She also led an entire arc of translational research, from preclinical testing to a first-in-human clinical trial of EGFRvIII CAR T cells for treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Correlative data collected from this trial led to an understanding of CAR T resistant mechanisms that have led further refinement of these CAR T cells, which is one current area of focus in her current laboratory and has led to the development of another Phase I clinical trial for GBM patients.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow, Dr. Maus is a Professor of Hematology and Oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where she runs a laboratory focused on developing and improving CAR T cell therapy for cancer patients while also periodically attending for the bone marrow transplant service. Marcela is the Paula O-Keeffe Endowed Chair of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and the Director of the Cellular Immunotherapy Program. She has won numerous awards for her transformative research and is achieving her goal of using science to determine the best way to treat patients by harnessing the power of the immune system to solve intractable problems like cancer.

naturally communicate and interact in order to collaborate effectively with diverse users. This talk presents a program of research on multimodal and social human-robot interaction that investigates how humans and robots establish shared understanding and adapt their communication to one another. First, I describe our work on multimodal human-to-robot communication through speech, gaze, gesture, and embodied behavior. We show that people often rely on nonverbal cues, particularly gaze, to clarify underspecified verbal instructions. Building on these findings, we develop a gaze-aware multimodal instruction-understanding model to improve target-object grounding and intent understanding. Second, I present a set of studies on robot-to-human communication. These studies examine how robots can establish shared context, align task goals with diverse users, and adapt communication strategies to users\u0027 states and interaction contexts. I conclude with implications and open directions for building human-aware robots to support natural, effective, and inclusive human-robot collaboration.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio: Na Du is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics and Networked Systems, School of Computing and Information at the University of Pittsburgh.

That\u0027s not a future vision or a distant case study, it\u0027s down the hall. For 21 years we\u0027ve been finding ways to turn trash into products, work that today spans 18 countries. It taught us something we didn\u0027t expect starting out: the hard part was never turning waste into a product. It was turning waste into a product people actually want. Simple, well made, good looking, priced right, at the scale of real architectural or medical grade products. Nail the engineering and skip the design, and you get a demo nobody buys. Nail the design and skip the engineering, and you get a prototype that never reaches the people who need it. Solve both and something changes at a level bigger than any one product: waste stops being a liability and becomes a domestic resource, hiding in plain sight. Come see what that actually looks like, not the pitch version, the one running on this campus.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio: Arthur Huang is a structural engineer, architect, and circular economy innovator who serves as the CEO and Co-founder of MINIWIZ, a global leader in transforming post-consumer waste into retail interiors, architectural structures, and consumer goods. Educated at Harvard University (MArch II) and Cornell University (BArch), Huang has also shared his expertise through teaching positions in architecture at Cornell, NCTU, Tung Hai, and NCKU. For over a decade, he has focused on accelerating the shift to a closed-loop circular economy, earning his company prestigious accolades such as the World Economic Forum\u2019s (WEF) Technology Pioneer Award, the Financial Times\u0027 Earth Award, and the Wall Street Journal\u0027s Asian Innovation Award. A National Geographic Explorer since 2016, Huang was recognized as the runner-up for the 2019 WEF Circular Leadership Award, while MINIWIZ was concurrently named by the WEF as one of the top 11 companies leading the global transition to a circular economy.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETrash Lab Grand Opening Tour\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAfter the lecture, join IPaT and Miniwiz for a demonstration of our new makerspace and campus plastic recycling resource, the miniTrashpresso powered by Miniwiz, in the new Georgia Tech Trash Lab during 2:00 \u2013 4:00 p.m. in TSRB, room S27 (basement level).

Despite revolutionizing the functional electronic materials landscape, the complex structural and energetic heterogeneities that define these materials limit the development of critical emerging technologies by complicating molecular design and engineering approaches for bandgap control at low energies, tailored interactions with long-wavelength electromagnetic radiation, and the exploitation of spin, magnetic, and quantum properties. To address these modern challenges, we developed precision synthetic methods that provide control of the many chemical, electronic, and structural features that affect electronic coherence within \u03c0-conjugated materials, enabling unprecedented levels of bandgap and electronic structure control. The utility of these materials for understanding emergent light-matter interactions has enabled optical to electrical transduction of infrared (IR) light, a new capability for organic materials. This has enabled our development of high-performance, low SWaP-C, and even radiation-hardened IR optoelectronics that overcome critical manufacturing, cost, supply chain, and operational limitations associated with current semiconductor technologies. We subsequently discovered that narrow bandgaps and strong electronic correlations offer a fundamentally new and broadly applicable approach to control spin, magnetic, and quantum properties within conjugated organic materials. Through articulating new mechanisms of spin alignment, topology control, and exchange, we enabled the synthesis of molecules and macromolecules with varying degrees of intramolecular spin-pairing (i.e., diradical character), the first examples of robust, high-spin CPs, and tunable quantum materials. These transformational design paradigms critically overcome the synthetic inaccessibility, lack of tunability, and intrinsic instability of open-shell electronic configurations in light-element materials. Stronger electronic correlations than previous generations of organic paramagnetic materials impart robust stability suitable for practical applications and\u0026nbsp; enable novel optical, photonic, transport, thermal, spin, magnetic, and quantum properties not previously measured in soft-matter systems. These novel attributes are enabling the design of new optoelectronic and device functionalities that cannot be realized with current semiconductor technologies and provide a remarkable platform to study new phenomena at the interface of various fields such as chemistry, condensed matter physics, materials science, engineering, spintronics, and quantum matter.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Jason Azoulay is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Materials Science and\u0026nbsp;Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Beyond these tasks, generative models hold great promise as powerful tools for probability density estimation and high-dimensional sampling, which are central to uncertainty quantification (UQ) tasks such as amortized Bayesian inference and data assimilation. However, while research on image synthesis emphasizes producing high-quality individual samples, UQ applications require accurate approximation of statistical quantities of interest rather than visually realistic samples. As a result, direct application of existing generative models to UQ problems can lead to biased approximations or unstable training. In this talk, we will introduce several new generative approaches tailored to UQ. These include training-free diffusion models for density estimation, a score-based nonlinear filter for data assimilation, and training-free conditional diffusion models for amortized Bayesian inference. We will demonstrate their effectiveness across a range of tasks, including density estimation for unimodal and multimodal distributions, learning stochastic dynamical systems, parameter estimation via amortized inference, and scalable data assimilation for atmospheric models.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Guannan Zhang is a Distinguished Staff Scientist in Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

While powerful, this paradigm has also produced engineering workflows dominated by graphical interfaces, manual operations, and disconnected software tools. This creates a fundamental bottleneck for modern agentic AI, as mechanical design and engineering still lack the programmable infrastructure needed for AI systems to interact with, reason about, and modify complex 3D designs. This raises a simple question: what if engineering design were treated as code? In this talk, I explore the idea of representing 3D CAD models as executable programs rather than direct static geometry. Programmatic representations expose the structure and logic of how designs are constructed, enabling automation and providing a natural foundation for training foundational generative AI models that can generate functional mechanical designs. I will briefly revisit earlier attempts at intelligent design systems and discuss how recent advances in artificial intelligence open the door to a new generation of AI-native engineering software. The discussion focuses on 3D mechanical design but points toward a broader future in which engineering workflows become programmable, generative, and AI-native.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EFerdous Alam is an Assistant Professor in the George W.
