SUMMARY:ECE Research Seminar Series: Dr. Jan Jeske\, Quantum Sensing Group at Fraunhofer IAF
DESCRIPTION:Laser-enhanced magnetometry (and other quantum sensing) with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: By integrating NV centres into a laser cavity and combining it with a second gain medium\, we have achieved 100% contrast and 16mW of signal power in optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) read out via a laser signal instead of fluorescence. This leads to an advantage in shot-noise-limited sensitivity and/or dynamic range (set by the ODMR linewidth) of a factor of 780 compared to the average of existing NV and vapour-cell sensors. \n\n\n\nDr. Jan Jeske\n\n\n\nAt Fraunhofer IAF in Germany we furthermore perform imaging magnetometry with a NV widefield magnetometry setup (microscale) and a single NV in the tip of an AFM (nanoscale) and apply this to materials research and fatigue\, electronics and biosamples. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Jan Jeske has led the Quantum Sensing Group at Fraunhofer IAF in Freiburg Germany since 2018. Previously\, he spent 4 years of postdoc in the group of Prof Andrew Greentree\, where the idea of laser threshold magnetometry was developed theoretically. Jeske obtained his PhD at the RMIT University in Melbourne\, Australia in the group of Prof. Jared Cole. He obtained a master’s in physics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany.   \n\n\n\nDr. Jeske’s seminar is hosted by ECE Associate Professor Jennifer Choy.

SUMMARY:ISyE - From Dyads to Teams: Modeling Human Trust Dynamics and Behaviors in Human-Autonomy Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Technology is evolving rapidly\, and human interaction with autonomous technologies is no longer confined to one-to-one decision-support settings. Intelligent agents are increasingly working alongside groups of people in diverse contexts such as defense\, transportation\, and manufacturing. Consequently\, there is a growing need to design trust- and behavior-aware adaptive agents that allow humans and autonomous systems to leverage their complementary strengths\, while promoting values unique to human society. To this end\, our research focuses on modeling human trust and behavioral dynamics over time across various teaming scenarios. In this seminar\, I will first introduce our work on classifying and predicting trust dynamics profiles using individuals’ personal characteristics\, uncovering who exhibits which trust trajectory and why. I will then present a study examining individual variability in trust bias (contrast versus assimilation) and its effects on coordination and decision-making when humans collaborate with multiple autonomous agents simultaneously. This work further extends to understanding distinct perceptions and teamwork strategies in hierarchical mixed human-agent teams. Time permitting\, I will also discuss our research on the design of AI-supported emergency navigation systems that promote human altruism and trust.   \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Hyesun Chung is a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. She was recently named a Barbour Fellow and received the Student Member with Honors Award from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES). Prior to joining the University of Michigan as a doctoral student\, she earned three bachelor’s degrees in Industrial Engineering\, Business\, and Industrial Design\, as well as an M.S. in Industrial Engineering\, all from Seoul National University in South Korea. Building on her interdisciplinary background\, she is a human factors engineer and human-computer interaction researcher who integrates computational and statistical methods with psychological theory to better understand and design human-AI interaction and teaming.

SUMMARY:ISyE - Finding the needle in the haystack: How gradient descent converges to low-dimensional solutions in over-parameterized models.
DESCRIPTION:In contemporary machine learning\, realistic models exhibit increasing nonconvexity and overwhelming overparameterization. This nonconvex nature often leads to numerous undesirable or “spurious” local solutions\, while overparameterization exacerbates the risk of overfitting. Yet\, simple “short-sighted” algorithms\, such as gradient descent (GD) or its variants\, often find the needle in the haystack: they converge to the correct\, low-dimensional solutions even when such structures are neither explicitly encoded in the model nor required by the algorithm. This talk delves into explaining this desirable performance of GD-based algorithms by studying their fine-grained trajectory on over-parameterized models\, spanning from low-rank models to deep neural networks.   \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Salar Fattahi is an Assistant Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:ME 903 Graduate Seminar: Professor Matteo Bucci
DESCRIPTION:The ME 903: Graduate Student Lecture Series features campus and visiting speakers who present on a variety of research topics in the field of mechanical engineering. Professor Matteo Bucci is a professor at MIT. \n\n\n\nTitle: FARAWAY\, SO CLOSE: HIGH RESOLUTION INVESTIGATIONS OF BOILING HEAT TRANSFER\, FROM CRYOGENIC FLUIDS TO HIGH-PRESSURE WATER \n\n\n\nAbstract: In every field of science\, the possibility of discovering and understanding new phenomena or testing new hypotheses is strongly related to and limited by the capability of observation. Here\, we will discuss recent advances in experimental boiling heat transfer research made possible by unique experimental facilities and non-intrusive high-resolution optical diagnostics. We will analyze the capabilities and limitations of these techniques in supporting the understanding of fundamental two-phase heat transfer problems\, with a focus on extreme boiling conditions such as the boiling of water at high pressure and temperature\, close to nuclear reactor conditions\, the boiling of dielectric fluids for electronic cooling applications\, or the boiling of cryogenic fluids relevant to space propulsion and energy storage. The use of these diagnostics has been instrumental in providing answers to long-standing fundamental questions on the fluid dynamics and heat transfer nature of these processes. \n\n\n\nBio: Matteo Bucci is the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research group studies two-phase heat transfer mechanisms in nuclear reactors and space systems\, develops high-resolution non-intrusive diagnostics and surface engineering techniques to enhance two-phase heat transfer\, and creates machine learning tools to accelerate data analysis and conduct autonomous heat transfer experiments. He has won several awards for his research and teaching\, including the MIT Ruth and Joel Spira Award for Excellence in Teaching (2020)\, ANS/PAI Outstanding Faculty Award (2018 and 2023)\, the UIT-Fluent Award (2006)\, the European Nuclear Education Network Award (2010)\, and the 2012 ANS Thermal-Hydraulics Division Award. Matteo is the founding editor and deputy Editor-in-Chief of AI Thermal Fluids. He also serves as Editor of Applied Thermal Engineering\, is the founder and coordinator of the NSF Thermal Transport Café and works as a consultant for the nuclear industry.

SUMMARY:ISyE - Advancement of Large-Scale 3D Printing
DESCRIPTION:Most advances for the integration of 3D printing (3DP) into production settings have focused on small-scale 3DP with manufacturing of components such as aerospace fuel nozzles\, aircraft’s hydraulic components\, and military hardware to name a few. But when it comes to large-scale applications 3DP research has been minimally explored. Defining large-scale 3DP as additive manufacturing technologies aimed at applications such as remanufacturing of large components in aerospace\, automotive\, and agricultural industries\, to construction and infrastructure\, research in large-scale 3DP is nascent and needed. Alongside cost\, establishment of 3DP technologies for large-scale applications has been hindered by the interdisciplinarity required to identify technological design needs\, manufacturing\, validation\, and implementation of these technologies while securing safety standards. Therefore\, this presentation will discuss outcomes of studies revolving around industrial and manufacturing engineering practices that can contribute to advancing 3DP technologies for large-scale 3DP applications. Concluding remarks will suggest to opportunities that can lead to identification of interdisciplinary research collaborations to further advance the field. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Iris V. Rivero is the Paul and Heidi Brown Preeminent Chair and Department Chair of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Florida (UF). She received her B.S.\, M.S.\, and Ph.D. in Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering from Penn State University.
