Abstract: Three-dimensional ultrasound is a powerful imaging technique, but it requires thousands of sensors and complex hardware. The discovery of compressive sensing has shown that the signal structure can be exploited to reduce the burden posed by traditional sensing requirements. In this talk, we will give an overview of how compressive sensing can be used in ultrasound imaging. As an extreme example, we have designed a simple ultrasound imaging device that can perform three-dimensional imaging using just a single ultrasound sensor. Our device makes a compressed measurement of the spatial ultrasound field using a plastic aperture mask placed in front of the ultrasound sensor. The aperture mask ensures that every pixel in the image is uniquely identifiable in the compressed measurement. Similar masks can also be used on existing ultrasound arrays to increase their coverage from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. Furthermore, we will discuss optimal mask designs as well as specialized algorithms that can reduce the complexity and memory requirements of the state of the art reconstruction methods. We demonstrate our designs with real experiments and illustrate that compressive ultrasound imaging can pave the way for cheaper, faster, simpler and smaller sensing devices with possible new clinical applications.

Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for addressing sequential optimization problems when the dynamics of the underlying systems are unknown. The primary objective in RL is to learn a policy that maximizes expected future rewards, or value functions. This is typically achieved through learning the optimal value functions or, alternatively, the optimal policy. The performance of RL algorithms is often limited by the choice of models used, which strongly depends on the specific problem. However, a common feature of many RL problems is that the optimal value functions and policies tend to be low rank. Motivated by this observation, this talk explores low-rank modeling as a general tool for RL problems. Specifically, we demonstrate how low-rank matrix and tensor models can approximate both value functions and policies. Additionally, we show how low-rank models can be applied to alternative setups, such as multi-task RL. This approach results in parsimonious algorithms that balance the rapid convergence of simple linear models with the high reward potential of neural networks.

This talk will cover practical challenges for cryogenic CMOS designs for next-generation quantum computing. Starting from system level, it will detail the design considerations for a non-multiplexed, semi-autonomous, transmon qubit state controller (QSC) implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology. The QSC includes an augmented general-purpose digital processor that supports waveform generation and phase rotation operations combined with a low-power current-mode single-sideband up-conversion I/Q mixer-based RF arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology, the QSC generates control signals in its target 4.5GHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range, achieving an SFDR > 50dB for a signal bandwidth of 500MHz. With the controller operating in the 4K stage of a cryostat and connected to a transmon qubit in the cryostat’s millikelvin stage, measured transmon T1 and T2 coherence times were 75.7μs and 73μs, respectively, in each case comparable to results achieved using conventional room temperature controls. In further tests with transmons, a qubit-limited error rate of 7.76×10-4 per Clifford gate is achieved, again comparable to results achieved using room temperature controls. The QSC’s maximum RF output power is -18dBm, and power dissipation per qubit under active control is 23mW.

Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) must be monitored closely to identify, diagnose, and potentially mitigate flight problems as they arise. During the flight, the vast amounts of multivariate time series data typically generated by sUAS flight controllers can be complex to understand and analyze. While formal product documentation often provides example data plots with diagnostic suggestions, the sheer diversity of attributes, critical thresholds, and complex data interactions can be overwhelming to non-experts who subsequently seek help from discussion forums to interpret their data logs. Solutions based on deep learning or heuristics can be used to detect anomalies in different time-series data attributes. However, understanding and mitigating the root cause of flight problems based upon the combination of multiple detected data anomalies requires significant domain expertise. To address these challenges, this talk will present approaches that leverage deep learning and heuristic methods to detect anomalies in flight data, both for real-time and post-flight analysis. Additionally, it will explore how the combination of multiple detected anomalies can be utilized to diagnose the root cause of the flight issue. The solutions proposed aim to simplify the anomaly detection process while providing a more systematic approach for diagnosing complex flight behaviors.

Abstract: Recent advances in digital health technologies are enabling biomedical researchers to reframe health optimization and disease treatment in a patient-specific, personalized manner. This talk will focus on my group’s research in two areas of relevance to digital health: (1) cardiogenic vibration sensing and analytics; and (2) musculoskeletal sensing with joint acoustic emissions and bioimpedance. Our group has extensively studied the timings and characteristics of cardiogenic vibration signals such as the ballistocardiogram and seismocardiogram, and applied these signals for quantifying filling pressures and volume status in the context of heart failure (volume overload) and hemorrhage (volume depletion). We envision that these technologies can all contribute to improving patient care with lower cost and better outcomes.

Rena is interested in exploring human-centered design paradigms within Mixed/Augmented Reality and Human-robot interaction (HRI), and understanding what role MR/AR technology can, and should, play in HRI through an interdisciplinary lens. Moreover, Rena is interested in technology ethics, AI ethics, and technology policy, and wants to explore how research efforts may impact society at large. Presentation: Understanding Multi-modal communication in Multi-task context Abstract: Multiple Resource Theory suggests that the mind has largely distinct types of cognitive resources associated with different sensory modalities, with subdivisions along a number of other dimensions. In this work we explore how the modality of communication used by task guidance systems meant to assist in multi-task contexts interacts with the modality of underlying tasks to determine overall cognitive load and task performance. Our results suggest that users can strategically avoid overload by selectively attending to dimensions of multi-modal communication. Abolfazl Babanazari Colorado School of Mines PhD in Computer Science Abolfazl is a graduate student currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at the Colorado School of Mines under supervision of Kaveh Fathian. Abolfazl has prior experience working in the medical field on stereo systems and developing AR systems for surgical navigation. Abolfazl's research interests include Linear Algebra, Graph Theory, and Optimization, particularly in their applications to Robotics and Autonomy, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and perception. Abolfazl is currently focusing on robust data association techniques from both a theoretical and practical aspect. Presentation: Global Point Cloud Registration in Structured Scenes Abstract: Point cloud registration, especially without an initial transformation, is crucial for many tasks in robotics and computer vision. When the corresponding parts of two point clouds are unknown, the solution search space grows exponentially with the size of the point clouds. A widely used approach to address this issue involves leveraging local surface properties around given points and matching these to corresponding points across point clouds. While effective, this technique struggles in environments with repetitive patterns, such as man-made structures, urban areas, or indoor settings, where point-based matching methods can generate associations with an extremely high outlier ratio. In this presentation, we explore the potential of using primitive mathematical shapes and the possibility of integrating them into existing Global Point-Based Registration (GPBR) algorithms. By reducing the number of associations and outlier ratio, this technique can significantly improve the accuracy and robustness of point cloud registration. Tanmay Desai Colorado School of Mines PhD student in Robotics Tanmay is a second-year PhD student in Robotics advised by Dr. Iris Bahar at the Colorado School of Mines. Tanmay is interested in exploring better motion planning algorithms and how can we utilize hardware accelerators specifically Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to get power efficient and faster convergence to controls in stochastic environments. Presentation: Navigating the Energy Frontier: Efficient Motion Planning for Mobile Robots Abstract: Mobile robots often struggle with the computational demands of sampling-based motion planning algorithms. This research explores the potential of FPGAs as a more energy-efficient alternative to GPUs. By leveraging their parallel architecture and hardware-specific optimizations, FPGAs could significantly improve the performance-per-watt ratio of motion planning systems.

Title: Advanced Packaging and Integration: Unleashing the Full Potential of Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors. Abstract: The projected growth of renewable energy resources, electric transportation systems, high-performance computing and AI are creating high demand for power electronics with improved efficiency, power density, and reliability. Wide-bandgap (WBG) power semiconductors enable power electronics to meet these growing demands due to their faster switching speeds, higher voltage ratings, lower conduction losses, and higher operating temperatures. However, standard packaging technologies result in WBG devices being derated and slowed down. New packaging technologies with low inductance, improved insulation, reduced thermal resistance, and high temperature reliability are essential to unleashing the full potential of WBG devices. Several applications, such as electric vehicles, have begun to implement advanced packaging materials and technologies to boost performance and provide a competitive edge. This presentation will review the challenges associated with packaging WBG power semiconductors, advanced packaging trends in industry, and opportunities offered by advanced packaging technologies and integration strategies.

The replacement of directly connected synchronous generators with power electronics interfaced generation has led to a decrease in system’s inertia posing a significant challenge on frequency dynamics. In isolated systems with reduced inertia the role of storage becomes crucial. Indicative abstracts from the CIGRE WG C6.43 and results from studies in island systems will be overviewed. Moreover, predefined limits for renewable penetration and primary reserves are frequently set for dynamic security purposes. This approach might not ensure dynamic security or can prove conservative in certain conditions. Furthermore, these approaches rarely consider the capabilities of inverter based renewable generation to provide frequency services. In this presentation, a data driven approach, based on optimal classification trees is described to extract, from a detailed dynamic model of the system, the constraints for a frequency dynamic unit commitment formulation. Hence, both dynamic security and optimal exploitation of renewable and conventional units for power production and frequency support can be achieved. The advantages of the proposed method compared to conventional and state of the art approaches in frequency security are validated through dynamic simulations on a realistic model of Rhodes island. Its economic performance, computational overhead and modelling complexity is compared to alternative approaches. Despite the benefits however, system operators may be reluctant to embrace AI solutions, as the models may be challenging to interpret, perceived as black boxes. Additional concerns may arise regarding the adequacy of testing under realistic conditions. In the presentation these concerns are addressed by introducing a digital twin designed for the realistic testing of dynamic security assessment applications in the system of Rhodes. The developed digital twin incorporates two options for the virtual model of the island: an interface with a commercial RMS/EMT software and a real time simulator together with an industrial under frequency load shedding protection equipment. The settings of the actual field devices on the island are tested through a hardware in the loop interface.

Abstract: Recent news has published information on technology and infrastructure at risk for being compromised due to cyber-attacks. There are several instances in which these attacks have been successful and have resulted in great consequences. Integrating Cybersecurity into the engineering process will enable designs to be resilient against attacks and ensure that the technology can operate in an increasingly hostile environment. This presentation will share examples of these attacks, how to identify vulnerabilities in designs, and a process that engineers can integrate into their development cycle to include cybersecurity into their architecture.
