讲座简介： Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) research traditionally focuses on knowledge-based problem-solving. Yet, as Einstein observed, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” As human-machine partnerships play an increasing role in addressing grand societal challenges, a deeper understanding of the comparative strengths of ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are central to many therapeutic areas, but their conformational flexibility—favoring a basal state—makes agonist discovery challenging. To address this, we developed peptidomimetics that mimic the α5 helix of G proteins, effectively stabilizing the active conformations of β2-adrenergic (β2AR) and dopamine D1 (D1R) receptors. These molecules enabled the identi...

In this talk, the speaker will present recent advances in mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of lung ventilation. The discussion will focus on two components: (1) a fluid dynamics model for airflow through the bronchial tree, incorporating elastic boundary conditions derived from pressure–volume relationships to capture lung elastance and airway resistance, and (2) a 3D hyperelastic-po...

Computational imaging systems are based on the joint design of optics and associated image reconstruction algorithms. Of particular interest in recent years has been the development of end-to-end learned “Deep Optics” systems that use differentiable optical simulation in combination with backpropagation to simultaneously learn optical design and deep network post-processing for applications such...

报告人简介： The Discher lab has sought to discover, elucidate, and even exploit mechanical contributions to cell, molecular and tissue function. Early discoveries included matrix elasticity effects on stem cell differentiation (Cell 2006) and mechanosensing by a cell’s nucleus (Science 2013). Current efforts focus on physics-driven evolution of mutations (Cell 2016) and engineering of macrophage...
