National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory)
Key personnel in the coaxial helicity injection (CHI) non-inductive startup of the NSTX-U spherical torus.
Digital Pathology: Accuracy, Viewing Behavior and Image Characterization (with PI: Joann Elmore at Harborview and others)
Pathologic assessment for a cancer diagnosis has for years been the “gold standard” guiding clinical care and research endeavors. However, diagnostic misclassification that can compromise clinical and research outcomes occurs in the interpretation of breast biopsy specimens, particularly at the benign to malignant and in-situ to invasive thresholds. At this point in time, technological advances…
Expression Recognition with Deep Neural Nets (with Barbara Mones in CSE)
We have developed a system called DeepExpr, a novel expression transfer approach from humans to multiple stylized characters. We first train two Convolutional Neural Networks to recognize the expression of humans and stylized characters independently. Then we utilize a transfer learning technique to learn the mapping from humans to characters to create a shared embedding…
simsong.org
Researchers: Professor Les Atlas (PI) Ruobai Wang, graduate student in electrical engineering Simsong.org will allow users to discover new music through music they already love. Using a super-quick match approach called “context sensitive hashing,” along with the power of machine learning based signal processing, simsong.org is different from usual content-based music retrieval systems in that it…
ADAPT: Analytical Framework for Actionable Defense against Advanced Persistent Threats
The MURI research team will develop a novel game theory framework to address the continuous computer hacking attacks, known as advanced persistent threats, which are essentially a game played between the system and adversary, where each is constantly trying to outsmart the other. A unique trait of advanced persistent threats is that they consist of…
3D Head Reconstruction from Images or Videos (with Ira Kemmelmacher-Shlizerman in CSE)
Acquiring high-detailed 3D head shape is challenging due to the highly non-rigid nature of human’s face. However, current high-detailed reconstruction methods usually require the subject to participate in the capture session with a complex setup. The goal of this work is to provide easy 3D head reconstruction methods to generate a personalized and high-detailed 3D…
ZaP-HD and Fusion Z-Pinch Experiments (FuZE)
Study of sheared-flow stabilization of a Z-Pinch, and scaling to high energy density.
Plasma Science and Innovation Center (PSI-Center)
Deputy Director and Lead of the Interfacing Group. Applying cutting-edge extended magnetohydrodynamic physics codes to laboratory plasmas, including physics validation.
UW BIOFAB: a cloud laboratory for genetic engineering
Participants: Professor Eric Klavins (PI) Justin Vrana, graduate student, bioengineering Orlando DeLange, postdoctoral researcher, electrical engineering Michelle Parks, staff, electrical engineering Biomedical laboratories, entrepreneurs, and researchers need data to develop medical therapies. But the complex experiments the process requires can be error-prone, often leading to longer timelines and higher costs. Now, a team led by…
Smart Eyewear
Researchers: Professor Arka Majumdar (PI) Shane Colburn, graduate student, materials science and engineering Alan Zhan, graduate student, physics As people age, their eyesight almost always gets worse. According to the Vision Council of America, approximately 75 percent of adults use some sort of vision correction. But for a patient, buying new glasses every time their…
