Artificial intelligence and machine learning have become important components of the computational toolbox that can be used to advance chemical research and discovery. Our group has been working on advancing AI/ML as it applies to the broad subfields of synthetic organic chemistry (for developing/discovering reactions), medicinal chemistry (for developing/discovering new functional molecules), and analytical chemistry […]
Thin plates are an elegant and versatile design platform that combine strength and efficiency. They appear in stately geodesic domes, workaday corrugated cargo containers and in countless natural settings, from leaves to cellular membranes. In each case, their mechanical response is derived not only from their composition but also from their patterning, such as corrugation […]
An increasing number of extreme events - including wildfires and hurricanes - are now being live-streamed online. These streams often emerge from the repurposing of existing infrastructure (such as smart doorbells), as well as from so-called 'influencers' producing social media content. In addition to generating large viewerships, streams have contributed to both fatalities (of streamers) […]
Worldwide cancer deaths are project to increase 50% in the next 20 years. Over 70% of cancer-related deaths occur in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), and 50% of those deaths are considered premature. This rising cancer burden is stressing an already overwhelmed healthcare system in many LMICs. For example, pathological diagnosis of biopsies is used […]

Abstract: During cardiovascular development, peristaltic contraction of the embryonic heart tube produces time-varying hemodynamic forces and pressure gradients across the atrioventricular canal. However, the relative importance of myocardial contraction and hemodynamic force to modulate cardiovascular morphogenesis in the non-Newtonian flow regime remains poorly understood. By developing the 4-D light-sheet fluorescent microscope and post-imaging machine-learning algorithms, […]

The initial Human Genome Project was a landmark achievement, serving as an essential resource for basic and clinical science, as well as for understanding human history, for over two decades. However, it is in need of an upgrade due to missing data, inaccurately assembled regions, and its inability to fully represent and identify sequence variants […]
From autonomous vehicles navigating busy intersections to quadrupeds deployed in household environments, robots must operate safely and efficiently around people in uncertain and unstructured situations. However, today's robots still struggle to robustly handle low-probability events without becoming overly conservative. In this talk, I will discuss how planning in the joint space of physical and information […]
Biofilms are viscoelastic materials. Biofilm viscoelasticity is an evolved property of these communities, and the production of multiple extracellular polymeric slime components appears to be a mechanism to ensure the development of biofilms with complex viscoelastic properties. However the importance of this attribute to the survival and persistence of these microbial communities is yet to […]
