Spring 2025 PhD New Student Orientation

Wilkinson Building, room 130

Dr. Joel Collier, Associate Dean of Doctoral Studies, will host a new student orientation session for all incoming PhD students.

CAGT Seminar: The Science of Connections: Bridging chromatin, synaptic plasticity, and neurophysiology

Bryan Research 103

The Cremins Laboratory works at the spatial biology-technology interface to investigate the structure-function relationship of connections across the scales of chromatin, synapses, and circuits in the developing and diseased mammalian brain. Neurons exhibit elaborate structures at multiple scales, including diverse long-range axonal projections to form circuits, a range of complex dendritic spine geometries at the […]

Harnessing Genetic Diversity to Uncover Gene Networks Shaping Cellular States in Response to External Signals

Genetic background drives phenotypic variability in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and influences their differentiation capacity to various cell types. Specifically, mESCs from different genetic backgrounds cultured under identical conditions show variable responses to external signals. We utilize a systems genetics approach to dissect the molecular basis of this divergent response to extracellular cues using […]

CEE Seminar – Integration and Control of Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision and Robotics in Immersive Platforms

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

This seminar summarizes human-computer interfaces for quality inspection aided by robotics applications, enhancing human decision-making with Artificial-Intelligence (AI) and machine-enabled visual analysis. Accordingly, interfaces of image-based automatic defect-detection and visual inspectors are explored focusing on Augmented Reality (AR) systems. A standalone human interface for automatic defect detection and localization is developed by integrating an image-based […]
