Archaea and bacteria oxidize most of the methane that diffuses upward from vast reservoirs beneath the seafloor before it can reach the atmosphere. In this seminar, I will present recent findings from our lab on the role of microbes and their proteins on methane and methanol cycling in three habitats: under the seafloor, in a deep brine pool, and in the surface ocean. First, I will highlight our discovery of methane hydrate binding proteins made by subseafloor bacteria, and how collaboration with GT biochemists enabled characterization of these novel proteins that are only found in bacteria that inhabit deep seafloor sediments rich in methane. Second, I will present our recent study of marine archaea that prevent leakage of methane out of a deep anoxic salt pond on the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico. Third, I will highlight our discovery of Methylaequorales, an uncultivated order of alphaproteobacteria that are highly active in the surface ocean and use lanthanide-requiring enzymes to grow on methanol. Despite recent progress, we have barely scratched the surface of knowledge of the biochemical repertoire of microbial proteins, particularly those from habitats rarely visited by humans, and the need for fundamental science to uncover the chemical potential of environmental microbes is stronger than ever.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Chemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry - Seminar Series\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"School of Chemistry \u0026 Biochemistry - Seminar Series"}],"uid":"35342","created_gmt":"2026-07-27 15:57:10","changed_gmt":"2026-07-27 16:01:14","author":"mcurtis41","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-09-17T15:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-09-17T16:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-09-17T16:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-09-17 19:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-09-17 20:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-09-17 20:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"EBB Kron 1005","extras":[],"hg_media":{"680676":{"id":"680676","type":"image","title":"Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","body":null,"created":"1785167839","gmt_created":"2026-07-27 15:57:19","changed":"1785167839","gmt_changed":"2026-07-27 15:57:19","alt":"J Glass","file":{"fid":"264967","name":"Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/07\/27\/Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/07\/27\/Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":179011,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/07\/27\/Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg?itok=ZlQseyPw"}}},"media_ids":["680676"],"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\u003EHost: Neha Garg\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"691256":{"#nid":"691256","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Georgia CTSA - Team Science Skill Series","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.trumba.com\/eareg.aspx?ea=Rsvp\u0026amp;invite=09hn8089t0v8dkyjwpxuwsztsh66763ajj31rav20k2svny5c5rv\u0022\u003ERegister HERE\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/psychology\/person\/shawn-burke\/\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EC.

A stem-like subset of exhausted T cells, known as progenitor exhausted T cells (Texprog), is associated with more durable immune responses and improved responses to immunotherapy, but is often present at low and variable levels. Here, we developed a silicon nanowire-based platform to deliver regulatory microRNAs directly into na\u00efve mouse and human T cells, enabling early cellular programming before differentiation. Across mouse and human tumor models, including a three-dimensional diffuse large B-cell lymphoma organoid system, microRNA delivery increased features associated with Texprog, reduced signs of terminal exhaustion, improved cell survival, and maintained T cell function. These findings suggest that nanowire-mediated microRNA delivery can guide T cells toward a more persistent and therapeutically beneficial state, providing a promising strategy to enhance the effectiveness of adoptive T cell therapies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0022\u003Cem\u003ETranscriptional Drivers of Impaired B Cell Immunity in Lymphoma Survivors\u003C\/em\u003E\u0022 - Rachel Ringquist, Ph.D., Ankur Singh, Advisor.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch6\u003EAbstract\u003C\/h6\u003E\u003Cp\u003ER-CHOP, a combination of chemotherapy and the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab, is the standard first-line treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). While highly effective, recent studies have shown that patients treated with R-CHOP exhibit significantly diminished B cell responses even years after treatment concludes. Here, we aimed to identify transcriptional drivers of these diminished responses using an in vitro immune organoid platform that recapitulates B cell activation and maturation within the lymph node microenvironment. We profiled B cells from lymphoma survivors and found that our organoid system stratified donors into low, moderate, and high responders following influenza stimulation. Using single-cell RNA sequencing we identified unique transcriptional programs driving the observed functional differences between low and high responders. Furthermore, through single-cell BCR sequencing, we identified key differences in the clonal B cell responses between high and low responders.

Through widespread projections and actions on diverse adrenergic receptors, the locus coeruleus modulates a broad range of brain functions, and dysfunction of the LC-NE system has been implicated in several major brain disorders. In Alzheimer\u2019s disease, for example, the locus coeruleus is the first brain structure to\u0026nbsp;exhibit\u0026nbsp;characteristic pathology, decades before the onset of clinical symptoms. In this seminar, Dr. Wang will discuss\u0026nbsp;neurotechnologies\u0026nbsp;designed to enhance and restore brain function through targeted control of the LC-NE system. He will present findings showing how direct stimulation of this system improves information processing in the sensory thalamus and enhances perceptual behavior in rodents, then describe translational work testing\u0026nbsp;vagus\u0026nbsp;nerve stimulation as a substitute for direct locus coeruleus stimulation. He will also share results\u0026nbsp;demonstrating\u0026nbsp;that non-invasive transcutaneous\u0026nbsp;vagus\u0026nbsp;nerve stimulation improves auditory acuity and speech-in-noise performance in\u0026nbsp;humans, and\u0026nbsp;conclude with recent work on how noradrenergic and cholinergic signaling interact in the prefrontal cortex to mediate inhibitory control of impulsive actions. Taken together, these studies suggest that neural stimulation targeting the LC-NE system may offer a promising strategy for enhancing and restoring brain function in both health and disease.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio: Dr. Qi Wang received his first Ph.D. in Robotics from Harbin Institute of Technology, China, and his second Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from McGill University, Canada, in 1998 and 2007, respectively.

As AI-supported tools and agentic workflows increasingly shape coding, analysis, modeling, simulation, and explanation, computational education faces an important question: What does it mean to demonstrate competence when final outputs no longer fully reveal the reasoning, verification, and decisions behind the work?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, Dr. Gaeun (Gwenn) Seo introduces computational judgment as a working construct for studying learners\u2019 ability to evaluate, verify, adapt, and communicate computational outputs and decisions in AI-mediated environments. Drawing on her research in learning systems, competency development, and professional formation in STEM and computational contexts, she connects this construct to broader questions about how students develop and demonstrate computational competence as work changes. The talk outlines a human-centered research agenda for making computational competence more visible, assessable, and responsive to emerging forms of AI-mediated computational learning and work.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Gaeun (Gwenn) Seo studies how students and professionals develop competence, judgment, and professional direction as AI and computational tools reshape learning and work. Her current research focuses on AI-mediated computational learning and work, computational judgment, STEM doctoral education, and competency development and assessment. She is currently an Academic Professional and Director of Graduate Career Development at Georgia Tech, with promotion to Senior Academic Professional effective August 2026, and serves as Co-PI and research lead on a five-year NSF Innovation in Graduate Education grant studying flexible funding models, industry engagement, internships, and STEM Ph.D. training. Dr. Seo has taught, designed, and evaluated graduate and professional learning experiences across Georgia Tech, Princeton University, Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medicine, and the University of Illinois at Urbana\u2013Champaign. Her teaching has been recognized through \u201cTeacher Ranked as Excellent by Students\u201d honors at both UIUC and Weill Cornell Medicine, and her scholarship has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Career Development, International Journal of Doctoral Studies, and Journal of Further and Higher Education. Her teaching, leadership, and service have received major recognition, including the Georgia Tech Graduate Student Government Association\u2019s Faculty of the Year Award and the Career Services Excellence Award from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana\u2013Champaign, where her dissertation research received the College of Education\u2019s Hardie Dissertation

In particular, we want to understand the dynamical and mechanistic parameters that shape the evolution of new enzyme functions, and to then harness these to engineer new enzymes with tailored physiochemical properties. To achieve this, we combine methodology development with applications to real world systems, in close collaboration with experimental groups across the world. Examples of recent and ongoing methodology development include replica exchange empirical valence bond simulations to describe chemical reactivity, and machine learning tools to design new enzymes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMore recently, we are working on natural language models to predict protein structure and activity. We combine these tools with a range of enhanced sampling approaches, structural bioinformatics tools and EVB and QM\/MM tools to describe conformational dynamics and chemical reactivity, with applications to biomedically important enzymes such as protein tyrosine phosphatases, or quorum-quenching lactonases that can be used to disrupt bacterial communication. We are also particularly interested in the modular evolution of new protein scaffolds with catalytic function, as well as the incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into industrially relevant enzymes for design purposes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFinally, enzymes are chemical catalysts, and to understand their biological function it is important to understand the intrinsic chemistry they catalyze.

However, their development is hampered by a lack of rational design principles due to missing fundamental knowledge about how ion-charge interactions and dynamic polymer nanostructure influence charge transport and storage along polymer chains. In this talk, I will first discuss how we are exploiting the ultrafast dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers to provide details on their nanoscale environment and trapping behavior. Then I will show how in situ electronic and vibrational spectroscopy of polymer electrodes can be used to track their complex nanoscale dynamics during charging, revealing insights into nanostructures that support the formation of mobile carriers.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Chris Grieco is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Auburn University, where his research group develops laser spectroscopy methods to probe charge carriers in conducting polymers used in electrochemical applications ranging from bioelectronics to batteries.

Failures such as this reflect a broader challenge in engineering: we still lack practical tools for identifying, modeling, and predicting the nonlinear dynamics that govern real structures. This talk presents our recent research on this challenge through two complementary thrusts: physics-informed model discovery and reduced-order modeling. The first thrust focuses on identifying governing equations and parameters directly from data. This includes the Energy-Based Dual-Phase Dynamics Identification (EDDI) method for constructing equations of motion for nonlinear oscillators and the System Identification via Validation and Adaptation (SIVA) framework for simultaneous identification, validation, and uncertainty quantification. The second thrust focuses on reduced-order models for evolving structu ral interfaces, with particular emphasis on bolted-joint loosening, where bolt tension is treated as a dynamic degree of freedom that governs the effective stiffness and damping of the joint. Together, these efforts illustrate how local interface evolution can produce complex global dynamics, and how combining physics, data, and experiments can yield predictive and interpretable models for nonlinear structures.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/l\/meetup-join\/19%3ameeting_MjZkNjM0MmEtZGFhNi00ZTM5LThmMjUtYWEwZmU2MWEyN2Mz%40thread.v2\/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%227ccb5a20-a303-498c-b0c1-29007381b574%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%228915c310-6508-42a4-bf6b-93c78751e18e%22%7d\u0022\u003EJoin via Teams\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDr. Keegan Moore, Associate Professor in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will be presenting on Data-Driven Identification and Reduced-Order Modeling of Strongly Nonlinear Structures\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Dr. Keegan Moore, Associate Professor in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will be presenting on Data-Driven Identification and Reduced-Order Modeling of Strongly Nonlinear Structures"}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2026-04-30 18:13:33","changed_gmt":"2026-04-30 18:15:37","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-06T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-06T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-06T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-06 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-06 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-06 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Online","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/l\/meetup-join\/19%3ameeting_MjZkNjM0MmEtZGFhNi00ZTM5LThmMjUtYWEwZmU2MWEyN2Mz%40thread.v2\/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%227ccb5a20-a303-498c-b0c1-29007381b574%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%228915c310-6508-42a4-bf6b-93c78751e18e%22%7d","title":"Join via Teams"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"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\u003ERon Briggs\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:rdbrigg@sandia.gov\u0022 title=\u0022mailto:rdbrigg@sandia.gov\u0022\u003Erdbrigg@sandia.gov\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"687531":{"#nid":"687531","#data":{"type":"event","title":"2026 Marcus Distinguished Lecture","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.massgeneral.org\/cancer-center\/clinical-trials-and-research\/center-for-cancer-research\/investigators\/maus-lab\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMarcela Maus, M.D., Ph.D.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EProfessor of Medicine\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHarvard Medical School\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDirector, Cancer Institute Program in Cellular Immunotherapy\u003Cbr\u003EPaula J.

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.

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.

These responses include thrombosis (\u201cclotting\u201d), inflammation, immune responses, matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, wound healing; i.e., all aspects of a host response to an implanted material or device. The material is an agonist, much like small molecule drugs; however, the materials are 3-dimensional objects acting across an interface so that the mechanism of action is more complex and our understanding of what is happening is more rudimentary than it is for small molecules. Hence, our challenge is to translate what is known about biological mechanisms with small molecule agonists into a picture of what is occurring with the biomaterial. Depending on the problem, the lab synthesises new polymers, formulates existing polymers into novel forms, assesses surface chemistry and structure, studies cell-material interactions in cell culture and\/or conducts in vivo experiments in animals (typically mice and rats). Most of the responses of interest are only evident in vivo and so the in vivo studies are typically key in many projects at the Masters and Ph.D. levels.

In the context of tolerance, induction of regulatory T cells is critical, and antigen specificity can arise from exogenously administered antigens in the form of an inverse vaccine or from endogenous antigens in a site of inflammation. In either case, we explore methods to induce or deliver cytokines to regions of lymph nodes where immunity develops and is regulated. In recent work in allergic asthma, we developed an approach employing glycosylated polymers to deliver allergic antigens and induce regulatory cytokine expression to re-bias immunity back to tolerance, inducing allergen-specific regulatory T cells and thus preventing asthmatic responses to pulmonary antigen challenge. In work in an experimental model of autoimmune neuroinflammation, we are developing an approach to deliver the tolerogenic cytokine IL-10 to all the secondary lymphoid organs of the body from a simple subcutaneous administration. Here, antigen specific Tregs were developed in response to myelin antigens that drain from the inflammation site. In the context of aggression, we have developed an approach to deposit inflammatory cytokines in the tumor microenvironment to tip the balance between cytotoxic T lymphocytes and Tregs, whether by agonizing innate immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells or adaptive immune cells, in particular T cells. With regard to antigens in mounting immune aggression, we have developed cysteine-reactive polymers that bind in situ to the surfaces of tumor cells to direct the adduct to antigen-presenting cells along with polymer-conjugated adjuvant moieties to induce an anti-tumoral vaccine response. Thus, in both contexts, biological functionality can be engineered to guide immunity toward tolerance in inflammation, allergy and autoimmunity and toward aggression in cancer.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBIO\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EJeffrey Hubbell is a pioneer in the field of immuno-modulatory materials whose research spans biology, chemistry, and engineering to generate novel solutions to common health problems. His work focuses on using biomaterials and engineered proteins to enhance the body\u2019s own immune system to fight inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, allergies, and disease states like cancers. With more than 400 papers and 100 issued US patents, Hubbell uses biomaterials and protein engineering approaches to investigate topics in regenerative medicine and immunotherapeutics. In regenerative medicine, he develops both materials and protein therapeutics to address issues such as chronic wound healing in diabetes and bone repair after trauma. In immunotherapeutics, he pursues nanomaterials in vaccination for infectious disease and cancer as well as targeted therapy with RNA, protein-material conjugates for inverse vaccines to induce antigen-specific tolerance in autoimmunity and allergy, and in protein therapy to tip immune balances toward aggression in immuno-oncology and toward tolerance in inflammatory disease. His interests are both basic and translational, having founded or co-founded six biomedical companies based on his technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBefore moving to New York University, Hubbell was at the University of Chicago in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, where he helped build its strength in immunoengineering.

My dissertation research advances the safety alignment of generative foundation models by developing principled tools, architectures, and training methods that strengthen their robustness and reliability at scale. Specifically, this thesis focuses on three complementary thrusts: a) Understanding and shaping the safety landscape of LLMs, b) Internalizing safety in agentic reasoning intelligence, and c) Grounding safety and robustness in multimodal perception.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E: Anthony is a CS Ph.D. candidate at Georgia Tech working with Polo Chau.

In one system, a depth camera captures human motion and creates associated musical sounds depending on the movement characteristics of the hand, arm, trunk, and head. The potential use cases include the rehabilitation training of reaching and grasping in stroke survivors and maintaining the head position upright in cerebral palsy. In another system, a virtual reality (VR) headset captures hand trajectory of the user in three dimensions in the VR environment. When the hand traces the visually presented target path appropriately, musical melody is produced. This modality could be used for training the arm and shoulder movements in people with limited range of motion, for example. This type of transformation of movement trajectories into musical sounds has the potential to empower people with motor disabilities to express their artistry with their less-impaired body parts as well. It could be personalized and is expected to benefit older adults and individuals with motor impairments by enhancing their well-being by introducing new, enjoyable, engaging, and rewarding artistic expressions or exercises.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio: Dr. \u003Cstrong\u003EMinoru \u201cShino\u201d Shinohara\u003C\/strong\u003E is the director of the Human Neuromuscular Physiology Lab and an associate professor at the School of Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech.

In addition, he collaborates with engineers in the fields of human-robot interaction, human augmentation, machine learning, and their application in the enhancement of physical activity, sports, health, and rehabilitation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E- - - - - - - - - -\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDesigning Ethical Robot Behaviors for Unforeseen Human-Robot Interactions Using LLMs\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E \u0026nbsp;As robots increasingly operate within public spaces and urban environments, they are frequently confronted with morally ambiguous situations that are dynamic, complex, and unpredictable. Such contexts introduce novel factors and forms of agency that may quickly exceed the scope of anticipated\u2014or pre-programmed\u2014human\u2013robot interactions (HRI). This raises a critical question: can morally appropriate robot behaviors be generated for unforeseen HRI scenarios using large language models (LLMs), and if so, how? In this talk, I present our proposed framework for generating morally appropriate robot behaviors, illustrated through the exemplar of a mobile, space-making robotic reading companion. I also briefly report on our current progress in evaluating this framework. Broadly, the framework comprises three key steps: (1) defining a library of robot behaviors; (2) training LLMs on general moral principles alongside examples of morally appropriate behaviors in predefined scenarios; and (3) leveraging the LLM to generate candidate behaviors for novel situations. The generated behaviors are subsequently evaluated by users and relevant stakeholders with respect to their perceived moral appropriateness. Through this work, we aim to offer a practical approach for designers and roboticists to develop novel robotic systems capable of behaving ethically in everyday, unforeseen contexts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio: \u003Cstrong\u003EYixiao Wang\u003C\/strong\u003E is an Assistant Professor at the School of Industrial Design (SID), Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).

Social media and e-commerce platforms have enabled new business models, many of which can be operated from home offices and basements. Entrepreneurs are less dependent on brick-and-mortar presences than ever. We argue that this shift has dramatic effects on small business owners\u2019 political behaviors and identity. The small-business-owner-as-civic-leader archetype that features so heavily in American civic and political life is not inherent to entrepreneurial activity, but is rather the product of interactions that are specific to brick-and-mortar businesses, especially when co-located with other brick-and-mortar businesses. Brick-and-mortarness, we argue, exposes business owners to a plethora of routine interactions with the government (via parking, construction, building permits, etc.) that catalyzes (sometimes collective) political actions. These mundane political actions teach small business owners how local politics works, but also socialize them to see themselves as political beings, with long term and broad impacts on how they relate to local politics and civic life.

Nowhere is this shift more consequential than in mental health, where large language models (LLMs) are increasingly mediating help-seeking, shaping perceptions of care, and producing guidance at scale. This talk positions digital mental health as a critical testbed for interrogating the foundations of generative AI, where questions of reliability, alignment, and human impact are especially salient.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDrawing on empirical research, I describe how LLMs participate in mental health discourse: as conversational agents, sources of guidance, and mediators of support. While these systems demonstrate remarkable fluency and scalability, they also exhibit important limitations: variability in correctness and consistency, cultural and therapeutic misalignment, and challenges in capturing the nuance of lived experience. I further discuss emerging risks associated with generative systems in this context, including over-reliance, sycophantic responses, and the potential erosion of human agency and social connection. These findings underscore a broader tension in generative AI: systems optimized for engagement and responsiveness may not align with the goals of care, safety, and long-term wellbeing. I conclude by outlining a human-centered foundation for generative AI \u2014 one that foregrounds identity, agency, and institutional context, and advances toward systems that are not only capable of generating language, but are accountable to the human conditions they shape.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EMunmun De Choudhury is J.

In the physical sciences, however, theoretical principles such as symmetries can provide inductive biases that improve the robustness and data efficiency of ML models. While symmetries are ubiquitous in particle physics, fully symmetric models can be difficult to train and implement. Moreover, real-world experiments often exhibit broken symmetries due to imperfections and finite detector resolution. We introduce a method for building symmetry-aware ML models through soft constraints. We investigate two complementary approaches: one that encourages invariance to sampled group transformations, and one that encourages invariance to infinitesimal symmetry actions. We apply these ideas to Lorentz invariance, and find that incorporating soft constraints can improve the invariance and the performance of state-of-the-art models without changing their architecture.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for analyzing large and complex datasets."}],"uid":"36562","created_gmt":"2026-04-13 14:38:59","changed_gmt":"2026-04-13 14:40:09","author":"tnevels9","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-20T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-20T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-20T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-20 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-20 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-20 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Howey Physics Building, Room N201\/202","extras":[],"hg_media":{"679921":{"id":"679921","type":"image","title":"Inbar_Savoray.jpg","body":null,"created":"1776091146","gmt_created":"2026-04-13 14:39:06","changed":"1776091146","gmt_changed":"2026-04-13 14:39:06","alt":"Inbar Savoray","file":{"fid":"264143","name":"Inbar_Savoray.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/04\/13\/Inbar_Savoray.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/04\/13\/Inbar_Savoray.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":10456522,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/04\/13\/Inbar_Savoray.jpg?itok=NweUPgXA"}}},"media_ids":["679921"],"groups":[{"id":"126011","name":"School of Physics"}],"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":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689595":{"#nid":"689595","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Voice+ Speaker Series: Mathilde Piard","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAs NPR\u2019s Deputy Director for Podcast Strategy \u0026amp; Operations, Mathilde Piard leads a team tasked with helping NPR\u0027s portfolio of podcasts thrive editorially, audience-wise, and business-wise.

For instance, muscle activity can be transformed into commands for an assistive device for people with disabilities or provide richer control for a computer than interfaces like mice and keyboards. Connecting signals from the nervous system to an external device in this way presents users with a new, potentially unintuitive, mapping between their movements and those of the device. Users often change their behavior as they learn to control neural interfaces, and many neural interfaces leverage machine learning to let the device adapt to the users. This co-learning creates complex and high-throughput interactions between algorithms and the nervous system. In my talk, I\u2019ll present recent research in my lab demonstrating that the algorithms we use in neural interfaces influence neural computations and user learning. I will then present new computational frameworks we\u2019ve developed to predict and shape user-algorithm interactions. These discoveries open possibilities to build neural interfaces that intelligently interact with the nervous system to assist and rehabilitate motor function across diverse users and applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Orsborn is a Cherng Jia and Elizabeth Yun Hwang Associate Professor in the departments of Electrical \u0026amp; Computer Engineering and Bioengineering at the University of Washington.

Our work spans biomaterial systems and organ-on-a-chip platforms to recapitulate the biologic complexities of sex, age, and immune status in driving fibrosis.

My lab develops microphysiological systems to reconstruct key features of breast and ovarian cancer and to study how physical context, multicellular interactions, and tissue architecture drive disease progression. This talk highlights an on-chip breast tumor model that reveals how tumor heterogeneity influences tumor growth and invasion kinetics, alongside a newly engineered peritoneal cavity platform that models the transcoelomic spread of ovarian cancer. Using live-cell imaging across these systems, we investigate how tumor cells move, interact with surrounding tissues, and disseminate during early metastatic colonization.

One example is the spontaneous polarization of valleys\u2014a pair of low-energy bands with opposite momenta related by time reversal. Such a valley ferromagnetic state can by detected through magnetic hysteresis in transport measurements. Another example is the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry, leading to anisotropic electronic order. This phenomenon remains less explored due to geometric limitations of devices.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHere we report an experimental observation of an intriguing interplay between these two types of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a rhombohedral hexalayer graphene device, using angle-resolved transport studies. Our findings point to the emergence of rotational-symmetry-broken valley domains or stripe order. More interestingly, this anisotropic phase can be switched on and off via electrostatic doping\u2014a phenomenon that cannot be explained by electronic order alone. In this talk, I will present these experimental observations and discuss potential explanations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E: Jiang-Xiazi Lin is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Emory University.

powerful server-class GPUs) and parallel computing (scalable libraries for dense and sparse linear algebra) have contributed to the on-going AI revolution. In particular, distributed training of deep neural networks (DNNs) relies on scalable matrix multiplication algorithms and efficient communication on high-speed interconnects. Pre-training and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) with hundreds of billions to trillions of parameters and graph neural networks (GNNs) on extremely large graphs requires hundreds to tens of thousands of GPUs. However, such training often suffers from significant scaling bottlenecks such as high communication overheads and load imbalance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, I will present several systems research directions that directly impact AI model training. First, I will describe my group\u0027s work in using a three-dimensional parallel algorithm for matrix multiplication in large-scale LLM training.\u0026nbsp; Second, I will demonstrate the application of the same algorithm to full-graph and mini-batch GNN training when working with extremely large graphs. Finally, I will also discuss the need for scalable collective communication routines for large-scale DNN training.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Abhinav Bhatele is an associate professor in the department of computer science, and director of the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/pssg.cs.umd.edu\/\u0022\u003EParallel Software and Systems Group\u003C\/a\u003E at the University of Maryland, College Park.

the inventory decisions have been made. To address the distributional-ambiguity, we consider a distributionally robust setting where the decision-maker only knows the mean and variance of the demand, and the goal is to make inventory and fulfillment decisions to minimize the worst-case expected inventory and fulfillment cost (where the expectation is taken over the worst case choice of distribution with given mean and variance).\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EWe present a significant generalization of the classical result of Scarf (1958) and give a policy with strong theoretical guarantees as well as good practical performance while maintaining the simplicity and interpretability of the solution in Scarf (1958). In particular, our policy first identifies a hierarchical clustering of the locations, and assigns a \u0022virtual-underage cost\u0022 for each cluster. Our inventory solution ensures that for each cluster, the total inventory in the cluster is at least as large as the inventory level suggested by Scarf\u0027s solution for the virtual-underage cost if the cluster was a single point. We present a worst-case performance guarantee for our policy and also demonstrate that the policy performs well in practice.

To address the distributional-ambiguity, we consider a distributionally robust setting where the decision-maker only knows the mean and variance of the demand, and the goal is to make inventory and fulfillment decisions to minimize the worst-case expected inventory and fulfillment cost (where the expectation is taken over the worst case choice of distribution with given mean and variance).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe present a significant generalization of the classical result of Scarf (1958) and give a policy with strong theoretical guarantees as well as good practical performance while maintaining the simplicity and interpretability of the solution in Scarf (1958). In particular, our policy first identifies a hierarchical clustering of the locations, and assigns a \u0022virtual-underage cost\u0022 for each cluster. Our inventory solution ensures that for each cluster, the total inventory in the cluster is at least as large as the inventory level suggested by Scarf\u0027s solution for the virtual-underage cost if the cluster was a single point.

After a career of service, retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal had much to contemplate. He pondered his successes and failures, his beliefs and aspirations, and asked himself, Who am I, really? And more importantly, who have I become? When I die, how will I be measured? In the end, McChrystal came to a conclusion as simple as it was profound: the reality of who we are cannot be recorded in dates or accomplishments. It is found in our character\u2014the most accurate, and last full measure, of who we choose to be. \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EOn Character \u003C\/em\u003Eoffers McChrystal\u2019s blueprint for living with purpose and integrity, challenging us to examine not just our deeds but who we become through them.

In this talk, I will focus on \u0022observable\u0022 events, equating observability with positive Lebesgue measure. From this observational viewpoint, \u0022typical\u0022 means typical with respect to Lebesgue measure. This leads immediately to issues for attractors, where all invariant measures are singular. I will present highlights of developments in smooth ergodic theory that address these questions. The theory of physical and SRB measures applies to dynamical systems that are deterministic as well as random, in finite and infinite dimensions (where observability has to be interpreted differently). This body of ideas argue in favor of convergence of ergodic averages for typical orbits. But the picture is a little more complicated: In the last part of the talk, I will discuss some recent work that shows that in many natural settings (e.g. reaction networks), it is also typical for ergodic averages to fluctuate in perpetuity due to heteroclinic-like behavior.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch5\u003EAbout the Speaker\u003C\/h5\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELai-Sang Young is a Professor of Mathematics and Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science at the Courant Institute, New York University.

This represents a fundamental shift from AI as a classroom presence to educational infrastructure. Neuroscience now confirms what learning designers have long known: scaffolding, sequence, and cognitive friction are not optional features of learning\u2014they are its foundations. General-purpose AI, deployed without pedagogical alignment, risks removing that friction, accumulating \u201ccognitive debt\u201d rather than foundational understanding.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, Pratschke introduces \u003Cem\u003EGenerativism\u003C\/em\u003E, her design approach for creating generative learning in a world where humans learn and work in partnership with AI, and the three integrated frameworks that operationalize it: (1) a Contextual Framework identifying four essential dimensions\u2014cognitive, learner, pedagogical, and technical; (2) TPAIK, which reimagines the established TPACK framework to define the intelligences required of AI systems; and (3) the Agentic Community of Inquiry (ACoI), an adaptation of the Community of Inquiry model that provides a structure for multi-agent learning environments.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs AI moves from language to experience\u2014from agentic systems to world models that generate entire simulated environments\u2014the stakes for pedagogical design only increase.

The role of the educator is shifting\u2014from consumer of AI tools to designer and creator of AI systems\u2014and these frameworks serve as a guide.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiography:\u003C\/strong\u003E Mair\u00e9ad Pratschke is a researcher, strategist, and advisor who has worked at the intersection of digital technology and education for more than 25 years.

Effectively \u0022doing\u0022 CBPR involves a substantial time commitment, often requiring researchers to spend years building the rapport and trust necessary for a mutually beneficial relationship. This collaborative process frequently encounters tensions rooted in mismatches between academic expectations, research ideals, institutional requirements, and community needs.

In this talk, I present a human-centered approach to designing AI explanations that support understanding, confidence and actionability in real-world settings. Drawing on years of research with older adults aging in place, I examine how people interpret, question and respond to AI-driven decisions in everyday contexts. I introduce a framework that characterizes explanations based on the data they draw from (such as conversational history, environmental context, task knowledge and system confidence) and show how these influence user perceptions of trust and usefulness.

In VERA, learners build and simulate conceptual models of ecological systems, investigating complex scientific phenomena. Prior work has focused on cognitive AI coaches that analyze user data to classify user types, predict learning stages, and provide personalized feedback. While these coaches provide insights into user performance, evaluating user models with machine learning approaches did not provide accurate results. Moreover, they often place less emphasis on the broader practices that make science learning meaningful. Inquiry-based learning requires learners to actively engage in scientific practices, integrate crosscutting concepts, and apply domain knowledge through guided exploration and scaffolding. Framing AI as a social agent, my research investigates how pedagogical AI agents can facilitate richer inquiry experiences by supporting students\u0027 sensemaking, iterative model refinement, and reflective reasoning. This work is novel in exploring how a metacognitive large language model-based agent can be embedded within a platform like VERA to support inquiry-based science learning. The presentation will share current progress and directions for future work.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio: \u003Cstrong\u003EJoon Kum\u003C\/strong\u003E is a second-year master\u0027s student in the Human-Computer Interaction program at Georgia Tech. He became interested in how AI can better support teachers and students during his student teaching at a Title I middle school, which led him to pursue graduate study at Georgia Tech. Advised by Dr. Ashok Goel, his research focuses on designing and developing a pedagogical AI agent to support inquiry-based learning in the ecology domain. After graduation, he will begin work as a public school computer science teacher in Gwinnett County, GA, where he wants to bring his knowledge and skills into his future classroom. He ultimately hopes to pursue a Ph.D. in Learning Sciences and build a career as a researcher supporting educators, learners, and public education.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E---\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EIPaT: GVU Lunch Lecture Series\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe IPaT: GVU Lunch Lecture Series is free and features guest speakers presenting on topics related to people-centered technologies and their impact on society.

This has shifted the research frontier in natural language processing to where global coherence and consistency, strategic content planning and selection, and high-fidelity evaluation play increasingly important roles. These belong to discourse-level capabilities. I will first present a model of discourse in the framework of Questions Under Discussion (QUD), which provides the necessary data structure to move beyond a local view of text generation and informs us how to strategically decide which questions are worth answering in a given context. Next, I will share how this model can be used to measure and evaluate novelty, revealing the structural homogeneity in LLM outputs even when they differ in content. Finally, I will tackle the evaluation challenge for open-ended generation, focusing on fine-grained evaluation systems that capture implicit aspects absent from user specification. In all, this talk aims to address the need for discourse-level understanding and control in today\u2019s generative models.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EJessy Li is an associate professor in the Linguistics Department and (by courtesy) the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin.

There have been huge success stories; MEMS inertial sensors have enabled an entire market of low-cost, small-scale UAVs. However, the promise of ant-scale robots has largely failed. Ants and other small insects like mites can move at high speeds on surfaces from picnic tables to front lawns, but few small-scale robots have moved outside the lab. This talk will present themes across our work in scaling down robotics. A common thread across our work is the use of geometry, materials, and mechanisms to do part of the robot control and computation in hardware. For example, choosing the right foot geometry and size scale can result in a 3.6 cm high power autonomous biped capable of high speed locomotion at 25 cm\/s. Novel fabrication processes can be designed to tightly couple high-bandwidth actuators, sensors, and mechanisms for locomotion and manipulation tasks.

Addressing this challenge requires an animal with both a compact nervous system and a diverse behavioral repertoire. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans meets these criteria and provides a powerful model for investigating how neural circuits generate adaptive behavior. Our research aims to understand learning, decision-making, and locomotion in nematodes navigating both structured and unstructured complex environments, and to uncover the neural mechanisms underlying these behaviors. To better capture environmental complexity, we expand traditional behavioral assays by incorporating 3D printing technologies to create T-mazes and three-dimensional culture plates, as well as dynamic quasi-2D arenas filled with microparticles that form granular terrains. These environments provide rich sensory input and depart from the largely featureless surfaces of conventional agar plates. Using these platforms, we have identified previously uncharacterized behaviors, including spatial learning in maze environments and touch-seeking behavior in granular terrains. Our findings suggest that tactile sensing and proprioceptive feedback play critical roles in enabling behavioral plasticity in structured environments. We further hypothesize that muscle-based sensory mechanisms may contribute to navigation through granular terrains. Together, this interdisciplinary approach provides new insight into how compact nervous systems generate flexible behaviors, revealing evolution\u2019s elegant solutions to complex environmental challenges.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;= Eleni is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and an affiliate faculty of the Neuroscience Program at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.

Active-set based methods are a common class of algorithms for solving NNLS which identify the optimal variable set of the NNLS solution. They do so by iteratively solving a series of unconstrained least squares problems, identifying which variables violate the nonnegativity constraints, and then swapping variables in\/out of consideration until the optimal set of variables is found. Several variations improving upon this method exist in the literature. In this work, we propose an active-set swap heuristic which further improves upon existing active-set based methods for NNLS. Our optimizations are based upon adding multiple variables to the passive set within a threshold of the smallest gradient value and removing variables within a similar threshold of the closest boundary constraint. We leverage these optimizations to yield a Fast Active-Set Thresholding NNLS (FAST-NNLS) algorithm which significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art NNLS algorithms for a wide range of problems. Rigorous convergence guarantees are proven for the proposed method. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method on multiple synthetic datasets and two real-world text analysis applications. In doing so, we present the most comprehensive NNLS solver comparison in the literature to date.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E: Ben Cobb is a CSE Ph.D. candidate conducting research at the intersection of high-performance computing and numerical linear algebra under the co-advisement of Richard Vuduc and Haesun Park.

The prominent approaches of preference alignment are severely limited due to inherent assumption of uniformity by the preference models.

PAL has modular design that leverages commonalities across users while catering to individual personalization, enabling efficient few-shot generalization. PAL is versatile to be applied to various domains and matches or outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both text-to-text and text-to-image tasks with 100x fewer parameters in practice.

In this talk, I will show how our group probes and then controls structural dynamics in two families of emerging semiconductor materials, conjugated polymer mixed conductors and hybrid metal halides. First, I will show how tuning polymer morphology and ion chemistry dictates how ionic and electronic charge carriers move through conjugated polymer mixed conductors using nanoscale imaging, in situ spectroscopies, and high-throughput robotic platforms driven by machine learning. In the second half, I will discuss how we control solid-solid phase transitions in two-dimensional metal halide perovskites and use them to dynamically modulate the chiroptical properties of these materials.

Transcending traditional educational models, TrEd is a living and breathing movement striving to redefine education as a journey of exploration; it champions the belief that genuine learning blooms not in confined classrooms, but in the spaces that nurture students\u2019 confidence, adaptability, and empathy while simultaneously equipping them with the tools necessary to make meaningful contributions to society.2 At the heart of TrEd is an unwavering and resolved commitment to placing students at the very center of their own transformation, where curiosity meets courage and every challenge becomes a seed for growth. Through a wide range of experiential initiatives, TrEd empowers the next generation of changemakers by cultivating leadership skills and equipping them with the inner flame to question and uplift.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EAmong its most treasured offerings are the Mentoring Talks,3 where luminaries from around the world candidly share transformative moments from their professional journeys, fostering a growth mindset and an appreciation of perseverance among students. Over the years, these inspiring talks have shown the voices of the world\u2019s most distinguished minds, including Nobel Laureates, offering students a path paved with determination and a North Star to guide their aspirations. At the same time, the Medical Research Volunteer Program (MRVP)4 and the International Medical Research Volunteer Program (MRVP-Int\u2019l) both create valuable pathways for undergraduate explorers by drawing them into the process of hands-on research, developing their scientific rigor and curiosity while also providing them with precious networking opportunities with researchers and research institutions early on.

Human isoprenoids derive from the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway, whereas many other organisms utilize the methyl erythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. The MVA and MEP pathways both converge on the same two isomeric C5 metabolites, isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). Therefore, IPP and DMAPP are the central five-carbon precursors for all isoprenoids in all organisms. Despite their importance, there are relatively few chemical and biological tools to directly study IPP and DMAPP and little is understood about their independent biological activity, and metabolic fate beyond incorporation into longer chain isoprenoids. Similarly, chemical tools developed for studying prenylation via the long-chain isoprenoids farnesyl pyrophosphate (C15) and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (C20) are well-established, but tools and approaches for interrogating C5 prenylation are lacking. My seminar will focus on our efforts to bridge these scientific gaps through the development of cell-permeant analogs of IPP and DMAPP. Specifically, I will discuss how these chemical tools used in combination with high-resolution mass spectrometry reveals novel biological functions of C5 metabolism in human cancer cell lines and the model Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EJosh grew up in Big Flats, New York, and attended SUNY Cortland for his B.S. in Chemistry working on the synthesis of photocleavable peptide conjugates under Prof. Frank Rossi.

Their rapid clearance is enabled by their ultrasmall hydrodynamic dimensions (\u0026lt;3nm) in circulation, which allow them to traverse the glomerular filtration barrier (6-8nm) and achieve near-complete urinary excretion following intravenous administration. Beyond their favorable pharmacokinetics and safety profile, these AuNPs are intrinsically fluorescent and highly electron-dense2, enabling multimodal imaging of renal transport processes across fluorescence, electron, and bright-field microscopies. In this talk, I will demonstrate how renal-clearable AuNPs serve as discovery tools that reveal previously unrecognized physiological principles at the nanoscale, including size- 3and charge-dependent renal clearance of engineered nanoparticles4 and membrane-extrusion\u2013mediated organelle elimination and regeneration in healthy kidneys5. In disease states, these nanoparticles uncover characteristic disruptions in renal handling\u2014such as reduced glomerular filtration, prolonged tubular retention, and diminished cellular uptake\u2014providing sensitive responses of dysfunction that precede conventional clinical markers6. Leveraging these mechanistic insights7, we are translating renal-clearable AuNPs into clinical applications as first-in-class contrast agents for imaging-guided cancer surgery8, sensitive blood and urinary biomarkers for early kidney injury detection9, 10, and precision delivery vehicles that enhance therapeutic specificity while minimizing off-target toxicity11. Together, this renal-clearable nanotechnology serves as a powerful bridge between nanoscale physiology and clinical practice, enabling earlier diagnosis, real-time monitoring, and safer, more effective treatment of kidney disease and cancer.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EBiography: Dr. Jie Zheng received his B.S. in Chemistry from Inner Mongolia University and his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005 under the mentorship of Dr. Robert M.

Precise models of LLPS systems, composed of enzymatically active droplets, will not only illuminate general organizational principles in living systems but also enable the development of new modes of biomolecular and mechanical transport.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Special Soft Matter Seminar|  Prof. Samuel Wilken | Johannes Gutenberg UN of Mainz | Host: Dr. Itamar Kolvin"}],"uid":"30957","created_gmt":"2026-01-23 16:02:05","changed_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:55:22","author":"Shaun Ashley","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-03-12T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-03-12T16:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-03-12T16:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-03-12 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-03-12 20:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-03-12 20:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Howey W401","extras":[],"hg_media":{"679326":{"id":"679326","type":"image","title":"Samuel-Wilken-SM.png","body":null,"created":"1771348339","gmt_created":"2026-02-17 17:12:19","changed":"1771348339","gmt_changed":"2026-02-17 17:12:19","alt":"Samuel-Wilken-SM.png","file":{"fid":"263469","name":"Samuel-Wilken-SM.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/02\/17\/Samuel-Wilken-SM_0.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/02\/17\/Samuel-Wilken-SM_0.png","mime":"image\/png","size":61063,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/02\/17\/Samuel-Wilken-SM_0.png?itok=PROP6sL_"}}},"media_ids":["679326"],"groups":[{"id":"126011","name":"School of Physics"}],"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"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"688829":{"#nid":"688829","#data":{"type":"event","title":"The School of Biological Sciences Spring 2026 Seminar Series presents Conor James McMeniman","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMalaria is transmitted to humans by the infectious bite of female anopheline mosquitoes.

Mutations in the MAPT gene that encodes tau can underlie familial forms of FTD (FTD-tau). Brain organoids from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines patterned towards the most affected brain region, the cerebral cortex, are valuable human models for understanding disease progression and testing candidate therapeutics. Cerebral cortical organoid modeling is limited by low efficiency, high variability across hPSC donors and lines, and high activation of stress pathways. We developed a novel organoid method and quality control (QC) metrics that enable efficient, scalable production of well-patterned cortical organoids. We validated the protocol by testing on 64 hPSC lines. Well-patterned cortical organoids exhibited markedly lower stress signatures and higher cortical quality scores, similar to those of the developing brain. Applying this protocol across multiple patient donor lines revealed phenotypes associated with the V337M, R406W and IVS10+16 MAPT mutations causing FTD-tau. Notably, approximately a third of primary tauopathy-risk genes identified by GWAS were differentially expressed in progenitor cell populations and newly differentiated neurons. These observations indicate a potential neurodevelopmental contribution to FTD-tau and underscore the value of these models to elucidate disease mechanisms and how the disease evolves over time.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EModeling Tau-Driven Frontotemporal Dementia Using Human iPSC-Derived Brain Organoids\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Modeling Tau-Driven Frontotemporal Dementia Using Human iPSC-Derived Brain Organoids"}],"uid":"36506","created_gmt":"2026-03-10 17:33:18","changed_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:03:01","author":"rbailey74","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-16T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-16T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-16T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-16 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-16 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-16 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"EBB 1005","extras":["free_food"],"hg_media":{"679565":{"id":"679565","type":"image","title":"sally_stern.jpg","body":null,"created":"1773164191","gmt_created":"2026-03-10 17:36:31","changed":"1773164191","gmt_changed":"2026-03-10 17:36:31","alt":"Photo of Sally Stern","file":{"fid":"263741","name":"sally_stern.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/03\/10\/sally_stern.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/03\/10\/sally_stern.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":61026,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/03\/10\/sally_stern.jpg?itok=WA6pjzhn"}}},"media_ids":["679565"],"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 dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:rbailey74@gatech.edu\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Erbailey74@gatech.edu\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"688832":{"#nid":"688832","#data":{"type":"event","title":"The School of Biological Sciences Spring 2026 Seminar Series presents Chris Martin","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EUnderstanding the mechanisms of speciation and adaptation is a fundamental question in biology that also provides an opportunity to uncover new gene functions of clinical relevance. Highly conserved genetic regulatory pathways shared across diverse vertebrate species have been shaped by adaptive evolution to produce spectacular morphological, behavioral, and ecological diversity. Here I review a decade of my lab\u2019s work investigating the rapid evolutionary transition from generalist algae-eating pupfishes to trophic specialists endemic to hypersaline lakes of San Salvador Island in the Bahamas and Laguna Chichancanab, Mexico. We show that colonizing these niches occurred in stages, beginning with selection on standing genetic variation for feeding behavior, then aided by adaptive introgression from diverse sources, and ending with selection on de novo mutations in key craniofacial genes. We discovered that only 157 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 87 deletions are fixed between scale-eating and molluscivore specialists despite extensive phenotypic divergence in their craniofacial morphology, metabolism, and behavior. These few differences resulted in major transitions in ecological niches and the colonization of new fitness peaks and novel performance optima for scale-biting. Overall, our work provides a new microevolutionary framework for investigating how major ecological transitions occur in nature and illustrates how both shared and unique genetic variation contributes to diversification and provides a path through complex fitness landscapes for access to novel ecological niches.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe origins and stages of adaptive radiation in Caribbean pupfishes: from genotype to fitness landscape\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The origins and stages of adaptive radiation in Caribbean pupfishes: from genotype to fitness landscape"}],"uid":"36506","created_gmt":"2026-03-10 17:28:02","changed_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:02:32","author":"rbailey74","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-02T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-02T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-02T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-02 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-02 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-02 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"EBB 1005","extras":["free_food"],"hg_media":{"679564":{"id":"679564","type":"image","title":"chris_martin.jpg","body":null,"created":"1773163768","gmt_created":"2026-03-10 17:29:28","changed":"1773163768","gmt_changed":"2026-03-10 17:29:28","alt":"Photo of Chris Martin","file":{"fid":"263740","name":"chris_martin.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/03\/10\/chris_martin.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/03\/10\/chris_martin.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":32281,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/03\/10\/chris_martin.jpg?itok=547z7Vn9"}}},"media_ids":["679564"],"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 dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:rbailey74@gatech.edu\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Erbailey74@gatech.edu\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"688830":{"#nid":"688830","#data":{"type":"event","title":"The School of Biological Sciences Spring 2026 Seminar Series presents Dana Opulente ","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYeasts in the subphylum Saccharomycotina provide a powerful system for studying how ecological conditions and evolutionary history shape microbial diversity.

SBI tackles the problem of estimating complex models from complex data, and the score-based formulation of diffusion models offers unmatched flexibility for inference and generation. This talk will synthesize recent advancements in diffusion models for SBI, focusing on key developments in training, inference, and evaluation. It will explore the potential of concepts such as guidance, score composition, flow matching, consistency models, and joint modeling. Finally, it will showcase three recent contributions from our group: 1) consistency models for near-real-time Bayesian inference; 2) compositional models for large-scale multilevel estimation, and 3) amortized Bayesian adaptive design for maximizing information gain in sequential experiments.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Stefan T.

In particular, understanding the underlying physical and chemical processes requires visualizing materials under working conditions. Furthermore, the vast amount of data generated by modern microscopes demands innovative methodologies that enable workflows with atomic-level precision and statistically meaningful results.[1]\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo address these challenges, I will present the approaches developed at the Joint Electron Microscopy Center at ALBA (JEMCA), where we integrate (S)TEM-based techniques with scanning probe microscopies and X-ray microscopies and spectroscopies, all under in-situ and operando conditions.[2] Additionally, we introduce an AI-enhanced analytical workflow that leverages machine learning and deep learning to automate the analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data. This workflow enables comprehensive characterization of materials and device architectures, focusing on energy and environmental applications, as well as quantum materials and their heterostructures.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOur pioneering workflow autonomously identifies material composition, crystallographic phases, and spatial orientations across diverse regions of (S)TEM images and datasets through advanced model comparison. It also incorporates automated strain analysis, offering a detailed understanding of structural properties. The extracted data is used to generate 3D atomic and finite element models in a fully automated way, which facilitate theoretical simulations and provide critical physical and chemical insights into device performance under real-world conditions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis methodology is highly versatile and demonstrates strong generalization capabilities across different material systems.

The believed wide applicability of these platforms stems from their huge potential capabilities. With form factors inspired by humans, the hope is that these robots may one day be as capable as their biological counterparts. One of their areas of greatest potential impact are in highly uncertain, highly variable settings like disaster response. However, what goes into making this possible?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis talk will be broken into two parts. First, we will talk about the hardware design of humanoid robots, in particular the design of IHMC\u0027s custom humanoids, Nadia and Alex. These systems are highly articulated and thus highly complex, with many degrees of freedom and many subsystems. Beyond complexity, however, enabling them to move through environments dynamically and efficiently requires careful consideration of not only their actuator design but also the passive dynamics. Then, we will talk about IHMC\u0027s work in the design of autonomy and human interfaces to enable humans to team with humanoid robots to explore and work in novel environments. This will overview the approach for one of the earliest uses of virtual reality to control humanoid robots.\u0026nbsp; We will also highlight IHMC\u0027s design of a flexible autonomy architecture built on behavior trees that enables on-the-fly drafting of novel behaviors and reliable reactivity, including the inclusion of human intervention when encountered with uncertainty.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Robert Griffin is a Senior Research Scientist at IHMC and Director of Research Professor at the University of West Florida.

He has also led the algorithm development for NASA Johnson Space Center\u0027s Valkyrie project, including using Valkyrie as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. Dr. Griffin has also guided the development of a number of exoskeleton systems, including devices used for regaining mobility as well as worker assistance for the Department of Energy. The research in these projects has included the development of novel simplified models for locomotion, contact planning, environmental modeling, the development of autonomy algorithms, and hardware design. His work has resulted in a number of recognitions, including several best paper awards, qualifying as a finalist in the Toyota Mobility Foundation\u0027s Mobility Unlimited Challenge, a 2nd and 4th place finish in the Cybathlon Powered Exoskeleton race, and being named as the Outstanding Research Organization in the 2025 Humanoid Robotics Industry Awards.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Griffin earned his bachelor\u2019s degree from Tennessee Tech University, and his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in 2017 with a primary research focus on the control of bipedal robotic mobility for humanoids and exoskeletons.

Each place cell fires at a single specific location, whereas each grid cell fires at multiple locations forming a hexagonal grid pattern. Yet the computational principles underlying these phenomena have remained mysterious. We show both emerge from representation learning through geometric optimization. Grid cells learn embeddings that preserve local distances through conformal isometry, forming a coordinate system. We prove hexagonal patterns are optimal: hexagonal flat tori uniquely minimize deviation from local distance preservation by distributing curvature isotropically through six-fold symmetry. Building upon this coordinate system, place cells learn embeddings that preserve spatial adjacency relations defined by transition kernels of heat diffusion with reflecting boundary conditions, thereby forming a cognitive map. Specifically, inner products between embeddings reconstruct transition probabilities, causing localized firing patterns to emerge automatically from non-negative matrix factorization constraints.
