We will present a new approach to develop a data-driven, learning-based framework for predicting outcomes of physical and biological systems and for discovering hidden physics from noisy data. We will introduce a deep learning approach based on neural networks (NNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs). We also introduce new NNs that learn functionals and nonlinear […]
Abstract: Today, many biomedical imaging tasks, such as 3D reconstruction, denoising, detection, registration, and segmentation, are solved with machine learning techniques. In this talk, I will present a flexible learning-based framework that has allowed us to derive efficient solutions for a variety of such problems, without relying on heavy supervision. I will primarily employ image […]
Bone undergoes continuous changes during life through processes of bone modeling and remodeling. Modeling-based bone formation (MBF) i.e. bone formation without prior activation of osteoclastic resorption, only occurs during growth, healing, and in response to external mechanical loading. Remodeling-based bone formation (RBF), which is tightly coupled with bone resorption by osteoclasts, plays a predominant role […]
Perovskite-type titanates are the standard dielectric used in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), and yttria-stabilized (YSZ) is the prototypical fast oxygen conductor used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and oxygen sensors. Under a DC electric field, the resistance of YSZ and Fe-doped strontium titanate (Fe-STO) degrades in an indistinguishable way. This is surprising because, unlike […]
Abstract: How does a robot’s body affect what it can do? This talk explores this question with respect to a morphology common to biology but rare in robotics: the presence of a bendable back. Using the Canid and Inu quadrupedal robots, I describe and quantify several advantages afforded by this morphological design choice for legged […]
Multi-rotor Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) have become popular robotic platforms in the last decade due to their manufacturability, agility and diverse payload options. Amongst the most promising applications areas of MAVs are inspection, air delivery, surveillance, search and rescue, real estate, entertainment and photography to name a few. While GPS offers an easy solution for […]
