SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: John Kasianowicz
DESCRIPTION:Department of Bioengineering Seminar Series  \nJohn Kasianowicz\, Ph.D  \n“Sequencing DNA\, Sizing Polymers\, Identifying Proteins (& More) with Nanometer-Scale Pores”  \nWednesday\, October 19th\, 2022\n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST\n105 Shillman Hall \nABSTRACT: \nBiological nanometer-scale protein pores are the basis of nerve and muscle activity.  With the goal of providing low-cost measurements for health care applications\, we have been adapting several types of nanopores for the detection\, characterization\, and identification of molecules.  For example\, when a single molecule enters a pore\, its physical and chemical properties control both the degree by which it reduces the ionic current that otherwise flows freely and its dwell time there.  Thus far\, our work led to two novel DNA sequencing methods (and a critical assessment of a third technique)1-5\, the ability to discriminate between individual polymers based on their size6\,7\, the means to quantitate protein concentration8\, and a technique for identifying subtly different species of metallo-nanoparticles9.  In addition\, we recently demonstrated that a nanopore can also be used to identify proteins10-13.  This new method could markedly improve healthcare diagnostics and allow more blood analyses to be performed at point-of-care facilities.  We are also investigating the possible use of nanopores as the read head in molecular-based memory storage devices and the role of ion channels in the competition between bacteria.  This ongoing work is a collaborative effort with groups at Columbia University (Jingyue Ju)\, CY Cergy Paris Université (Abdelghani Oukhaled)\, Freiburg University (Jan Behrends)\, and the DoD (Sina Bavari\, Rekha Panchal\, Captain Rick Gussio\, and Colonel Kelly Halverson). \nBIO:   \nDr. Kasianowicz is the Leader of the Nanobiotechnology Project in the Physical Measurement Laboratory at NIST. He earned a Ph.D. in Physiology & Biophysics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook\, a M.A. in Physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook\, and a B.A. in Physics (with Distinction) from Boston University. He was a National Academy of Sciences/ National Research Council Research Associate in the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory at NIST prior to joining the staff and becoming a Leader of the Biomolecular Materials Group. Currently\, John directs the research efforts of staff scientists\, post-doctoral fellows\, and graduate/undergraduate students.  \nJohn pioneered research in five areas: 1) single molecule characterization\, quantification\, and identification; 2) nanopore-based DNA sequencing (he published work in 3 of the 4 methods proposed for this application); 3) elucidating the mechanisms of anthrax toxin action;\, 4) single molecule thermodynamics and kinetics; and 5) development of new methods for membrane protein structure determination. His seminal work in these fields opened other areas of investigation (e.g.\, nanopore-based single molecule force spectroscopy)\, new conferences dedicated to these subjects\, and NIH- and DARPA-based funding initiatives. A range of companies (e.g.\, IBM\, Oxford Nanopore\, Illumina\, Genia Technology (Roche)\, Stratos\, Electronic BioSciences\, and Quantum Biosystems) have been pursuing John’s applied research to develop practical devices for the electronic detection and characterization of individual biological molecules. Several that are using his nanopore-based DNA sequencing technologies are currently valued at $1.8B. His current major foci are the development of nanoscale electronic systems to measure the fundamental properties of single molecules. The work could be applied to storing and retrieving information in molecules\, and simultaneously quantifying many biomarkers (proteins\, DNA\, RNA\, etc.) in single cells\, tissue\, and blood. The latter work would have a marked impact on understanding basic cellular mechanisms and aid the development of quantitative personalized medicine.

SUMMARY:MathWorks Week: Climate\, Energy and the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Join MathWorks engineers and Northeastern faculty for these insightful seminars in Climate Change\, Quantum Computing\, and AI. \n\nClimate\, Energy and the Built Environment\nTuesday\, March 1\, 10:30 am – 11:30 am\nRegister: MathWorksNUSymposiumClimate.eventbrite.com \nInsights of climate changes from the Common Era: an Artificial Intelligence view\nJianghao Wang\, MathWorks \nThe rapid global warming seen in observations over the past 150 years shows nearly global coherence\, the spatiotemporal coherence of climate epochs earlier in the Common Era (the past 2\,000 years)\, however\, has yet to be robustly tested. Understanding how the climate system works and how historical temperature changes shed light on the study of anthropogenic climate change. \nModeling the Stochastic Dynamics of Rotating Wind Turbine Blades\nLuca Caracoglia\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation describes the results of recent research activities\, examining the dynamic modeling of wind turbine blades under the influence of various sources of input error and noise. The presentation will focus on the flutter phenomenon. Flutter is a flow-induced dynamic instability that results from the coupling between flap-wise bending mode and torsional mode of the rotating blade. \nLocating Damage in Structural Systems\nDennis Bernal\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation outlines the basic ideas behind some techniques used to localize damage applicable in cases where the structure is large\, and the number of sensors is small. Visual inspection has been the traditional procedure used to check the condition of structural systems but there is significant interest in devising ways to replace or enhance this approach by incorporating information from sensors.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Glenn Gaudette
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Gaudette\, Ph.D. \nJohn W. Kozarich ’71 Chair of the Department of Engineering\, Boston College\, Newton MA \n“Crossing Kingdoms to Develop New Platforms for Tissue Engineering” \nWednesday\, November 10th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nBehrakis 010 \nABSTRACT: \nDevelopment of biomaterials for tissue engineering is challenged by the incorporation of a vascular network\, which is necessary to deliver oxygen\, nutrients\, and essential molecules required for cells to survive. Like humans\, plants have vascular networks. Removing plant cells from spinach leaves\, a technique known as decellularization that was developed for mammalian organs and tissues provides a scaffold with an inherent network of vessels. This scaffold can be seeding with multiple cell types\, including contracting human heart muscle cells and endothelial cells. After decellularization\, the inherent network of vessels remain open and perfusable. Given the vastness of the plant kingdom\, crossing it with the animal biological kingdoms may allow for new biomaterials with multiple applications in tissue engineering and beyond. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nGlenn R. Gaudette\, PhD\, is the inaugural John W. Kozarich ’71 Chair of the Department of Engineering at Boston College. Working together with his colleagues\, they have developed the first Engineering program in the history of BC. His research has pioneered the use of plants as scaffold for heart regeneration. This work lead to significant recognition\, including Prof Gaudette and his colleagues being featured throughout the world including Bill Nye Saves the World (on Netflix)\, CBS’s Innovation Nation\, the BBC (live interview) and Popular Science. The work was displayed at the Centre Pompidou (Paris) as part of an exhibit entitled “The Factory of Life”. Recently\, a children’s book (From Plant to Human: The Extraordinary Spinach-Leaf Heart by Oscar Silver) was published about this inspiring work. His recent research aims to develop cost-effective methods for growing meat in the laboratory setting\, which could reduce our reliance on conventional animal agriculture. Dr. Gaudette is a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and the National Academy of Inventors. \n

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Keyue Shen
DESCRIPTION:Keyue Shen\, Ph.D. \nAssistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering\, University of Southern California\, Los Angeles CA \n“Metabolic and Microenvironmental Regulation of Cancer and Stem Cells” \nWednesday\, November 3rd\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nABSTRACT: \nIn vivo\, tissue structure and local cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions define the microenvironment and regulate a complex landscape of cellular phenotypes and metabolism in tumors and stem cell niches. Such dynamics and heterogeneity often contribute to treatment failures in cancer and regenerative medicine. Identifying the precise microenvironmental cues that trigger the phenotypic or metabolic changes will thus enable the discovery of new targets for cancer or stem cell therapies. However\, it is challenging to pinpoint such cues and track cellular dynamics/heterogeneity in a complex microenvironment in vivo. Our laboratory is focused on creating biologically inspired in vitro platforms to recapitulate the scale of cell signaling in tissue microenvironments from subcellular to tissue levels\, and developing single-cell tools to enable dynamic\, long-term tracking of metabolic heterogeneity and changes in rare cells. We have built-in vitro hypoxic tumor models to recapitulate the metabolic landscapes in solid tumors\, to determine/overcome the key factors that impedes the therapeutic efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. We have also developed micropatterned tumor models to understand the mechano-regulatory mechanisms and mito-nuclear communications in cancer metastasis. Using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy\, we created a set of non-invasive metabolic optical biomarkers to identify hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from their progenitor counterparts and track their metabolic dynamics during cell division at the single-cell level. With a lipid bilayer model\, we have further discovered a unique role of membrane-bound factors on niche stromal cells in determining the morphology and adhesive function of HSCs in the bone marrow. Our long-term goal is to develop novel strategies for cancer immunotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nDr. Keyue Shen received his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science in Biophysics from Tsinghua University of China. He earned his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University in 2010. He then pursued postdoctoral training in the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital\, where he won an MGH Fund for Medical Discovery Award. Keyue joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Southern California in 2015. He received a Broad Innovation Award from the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation (2016)\, a Marni Levine Memorial Research Career Development Award from STOP CANCER (2017)\, a Trailblazer Award from the NIH NIBIB (2017)\, and a Rising Star Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society – Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering SIG (2020). His research has been supported by NIH NIBIB and NCI. His group is focused on creating in vitro tissue models of solid tumors and bone marrow niches. His goals are to understand how tumor microenvironments regulate mitochondrial/metabolic functions of cancer and immune cells in cancer progression and therapy\, and how to improve hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and biomanufacturing. \nIf interested in attending\, please email Elizabeth Chesley at e.chesley@northeastern.edu for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:LEADERs Event: AI Challenges in the Deployment of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will help attendees learn about integrating AI in auto industry. While AI has been able to achieve remarkable success over the last 10 years\, can it really be trusted?  What does trustworthy AI look like in the context of connected vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)?  To create an ADAS for all\, it’s paramount that the AI systems in the vehicle be trusted and work for everyone.  This is especially important given the nature of ADAS as a safety-critical\, cyber-physical\, and people-centric system of systems.  In this talk\, the presenter will outline a number of challenges in building AI systems which could potentially be deployed in future ADAS. \nSpeaker Dr. Jacob Bond leads trustworthy AI research at General Motors R&D.  In addition to his work on ensuring AI systems in the vehicle can be trusted\, his research looks at how to keep AI systems private and how to ensure cloud and vehicle systems can establish secure communications.  After receiving a Ph.D. in computational mathematics and cryptography from Purdue University\, he joined General Motors’ Product Cybersecurity organization\, focusing on applications of public-key cryptography.  Jacob then began investigating the security of AI systems\, moving to GM R&D and expanding his work to encompass the trustworthiness of AI systems.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Rebecca Heise
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Heise\, Ph.D. \nAssociate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director\, Department of Biomedical Engineering\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, Richmond VA \n“Breaking Barriers: Evaluating the Alveolar-Capilary Barrier in Lung Injury and Repair” \nWednesday\, October 27th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nBehrakis 010 \nABSTRACT: \nLung injuries such as acute respiratory distress syndrome\, acute lung injury\, or ventilator-associated lung injury cause disruption in the alveolar-capillary barrier leading to edema and lack of gas exchange. The mechanical environment in the lung plays an important role in maintaining this barrier. The constantly moving lung subjects cells to mechanical strain and shear stress during normal breathing. Lung injury\, aging extracellular matrix\, and obstructive pulmonary diseases alter this mechanical environment\, changing the strain\, shear stress\, and stiffness of the pulmonary extracellular matrix. The present talk will discuss how these mechanical changes alter cellular signaling and function focusing on aging alveolar epithelial cells and macrophages in murine ventilator-induced lung injury and the role of extracellular matrix in alveolar epithelial barrier formation. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nDr. Heise is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director of Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). She holds an affiliate appointment in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at VCU and is a member of the Massey Cancer Center and the Johnson Center for Critical Care and Pulmonary Research. She earned her B.S. in Chemical Engineering with an additional major in Biomedical and Health Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2003.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Victor Baracos
DESCRIPTION:Victor Barocas\, Ph.D. \nProfessor\, Department of Biomedical Engineering\, University of Minnesota \n“Computer Modeling of Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm\, or How I Learned Accept Change\, Variability\, and Failure as a Part of Life” \nWednesday\, October 20th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nABSTRACT: \nAscending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (ATAA)\, a condition in which the section of the aorta immediately adjacent to the heart becomes enlarged\, presents a major clinical challenge. The disease is largely asymptomatic and harmless unless the tissue dissects or ruptures\, in which case severe consequences almost always ensue. Repair surgery is costly and carries a 2-4% chance of patient mortality. The challenge\, then\, is to decide whether to perform the surgery when the patient might be just fine without it. Current guidelines are based primarily on aneurysm size\, but numerous other potential biomarkers exist\, including other geometric measures\, mechanical measures\, genetic factors\, and biofluidic factors; some of these are directly attainable in the clinic\, and others are attainable through patient specific computer models. Our group is exploring ATAA with a combination of computer and experimental models in hope of identifying better ways to assess patient risk. The seminar will discuss computer models at both the tissue and the structural scale\, how they relate to experimental studies\, and where I see us and the field going in the future \nBIOGRAPHY: \nVictor Barocas is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota\, where he has taught since 2000. His research focuses on soft-tissue biomechanics\, with applications in the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Experimental work focuses on novel techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties\, particularly in heterogeneous tissues\, and his computational work focuses on structural and multiscale models of tissue mechanics. He has served for the last ten years as co-Editor-in-Chief of the ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. \nInterested in attending? Email Liz at e.chesley@northeastern.edu for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Showcase of Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor (SOURCE)
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Huskies! Learn more about what cutting-edge research and creative endeavor look like at Northeastern. This is your chance to talk one-on-one with faculty from across the colleges about their research – and how you can get involved in projects during your time at Northeastern. Not everyone will have open positions right now but you’ll get a chance to see the range of work that’s happening and begin to make connections that you can build for the rest of your time at Northeastern. \nBefore you attend\, here’s some advice to consider. \n\nTake a look and see who’ll be there. We have an online database of attendees. Go through it and learn more about the project areas and visit the researcher/creative practitioner web pages. This will help prepare you for a conversation and help you ask any questions you might have.\nGet ready for a conversation from your end. Think about goals you have \, as well as your current interests and skills and those that you want to develop. How does what you have read about the various projects align with what you know about yourself and your interests? Take a minute to practice a simple declarative sentence\, “My name is ____________. I study ____________. I think that this part of your work ____________ is interesting because of this intellectual reason/moral imperative/grand impact ____________.  I’d love to learn more about it because of this previous experience ____________ and these skills ____________ and my long-term interest in ____________.  How I can get involved?” You might not know how to fill in all of the blanks right now (that’s why you’re in school) but see how close you can get.  When you know who you are\, what you value\, and how you can contribute — and get some practice saying it out loud– being confident becomes easier.\nRemember\, not every faculty member will have open positions now — but a good impression lasts a long time. You can’t go wrong with being polite and courteous.   Address faculty members as Professor until told otherwise (better to err on the side of formality).\nKeep in mind your time! If you want to be involved in research or creative practice\, a good thing to keep in mind is that faculty members will commit a lot of time to training and mentoring their undergraduates. They’re investing time\, energy\, and expertise in their mentees and want to know that you will make time for the projects\, show up consistently\, and ideally be with them for longer than a semester if possible. The learning curve of most projects is steep and it takes some time to get to the meatiest parts of the work. Be honest with yourself about the commitment you can make\, be frank with your faculty mentors\, and stick to your word. Communication and honesty in relationships\, including the mentoring relationship\, is key.\n\nSOURCE is a collaboration between Bouvé College of Health Sciences; College of Arts\, Media and Design; College of Engineering; College of Science; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; D’Amore-McKim School of Business; and Khoury College of Computer Science.

Reid\, Ed.D.\, CDP   \nSenior Vice Provost and Chief Inclusion Officer\, Northeastern University  “The Case for Diversity and Inclusion\, From An Engineer’s Perspective”  \nBehrakis 010  \nABSTRACT:  \nThis talk makes the case for why diversity and inclusion matter and offers steps to creating more equitable and inclusive campuses and workplaces. \nBIOGRAPHY:  \nDr. Karl W. Reid was appointed Senior Vice Provost and Chief Inclusion Officer at Northeastern University on April  1\, 2021. He also holds the title of Professor of Practice in the Graduate School of Education in the College of  Professional Studies. Prior to joining Northeastern\, Dr. Reid served for seven years as the Executive Director of the  National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)\, marking his return to the organization that gave him his first major leadership experience 32 years earlier. A certified diversity professional\, Dr. Reid has been a leading national advocate for diversity and inclusion\, and increasing college access\, opportunity\, and success for low-income and minority youth. \nDr. Reid came to NSBE from the United Negro College Fund (UNCF)\, where he oversaw new program development\, research\, and capacity building for the organization’s 37 historically black colleges and universities and held the title of Senior Vice President for Research\, Innovation\, and Member College  Engagement. Before his service at UNCF\, he worked in positions of progressive responsibility to increase diversity at his alma mater\, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, which he left as Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Director of the Office of Minority Education. While working at MIT as Director of Engineering Outreach Programs\, Dr. Reid earned his Doctor of Education degree at Harvard University. His dissertation explored the interrelationship of race\, identity\, and academic achievement for African American males in college. He is the author of “Working Smarter\, Not Just Harder: Three Sensible Strategies for  Succeeding in College…and Life.” Dr. Reid is also a founding member of the 50K Coalition\, a national effort to produce 50\,000 diverse engineering graduates annually by 2025. \nDr. Reid was born in the Bronx\, New York\, and grew up in Roosevelt\, New York\, a mostly working-class\, African-American community on Long Island. The high value his parents placed on education\, and his admission to a well-resourced\, magnet high school near Roosevelt\, put him on a track to follow his older brother to MIT\, where he earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees in Materials Science and Engineering and was a Tau Beta Pi Scholar. He credits his membership in the NSBE chapter at MIT  with giving a vital boost to his self-confidence and leadership skills. He joined the Society during his freshman year\, was elected chapter Vice President during his junior year\, and subsequently served as NSBE National  Chair. \nAfter graduating from MIT\, Dr. Reid worked in the computer industry for 12 years in product management\, marketing\, sales\, and consulting. In 1991\, five years into a successful career in sales and marketing with IBM Corporation\, Dr. Reid read Jonathan Kozol’s “Savage Inequalities\,” a seminal book about educational disparities in the U.S.\, which sparked his passion for bringing about positive change through the education of African Americans and other underserved populations. \nDr. Reid sits on the National Council for Expanding American Innovation at the US Patent and  Trademark Office; the Committee on Addressing the Underrepresentation of Women of Color in Technology at the National Academy of Engineering; the American Society for Civil Engineers Industrial Leaders Council;  the Dean’s advisory cabinets for the Harvard University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the University of Michigan College of Engineering. He holds memberships in the American Society for Engineering Education and the Council of Engineering and Scientific Society Executives. \nHe is a frequent contributor to the national diversity engineering dialogue and author of several commentary pieces\, and he has been quoted in numerous articles in publications such as Forbes\, The Wall Street Journal\, U.S.  News & World Report\, and The Hechinger Report.

SUMMARY:COE CommLab/Khoury College Writing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:College of Engineering PhD students are invited to join us for a writing retreat July 20 – 22.  The aim of this retreat is to create sustained writing time for researchers to work in a calm\, supportive environment on a longer project.  Studies have shown that an academic writing retreat supports productivity and progress while also encouraging helpful guidance from peers. \nOur virtual retreat is organized around alternating periods of quiet work on individual projects with collective sessions on topics related to research writing. Each of the three days begins with a welcome message and group gathering. On the last day\, we’ll wrap up the retreat with a virtual lunch to share concluding thoughts. \nRegister here for this event by June 24.
