Titel:  A simple excitable model reveals how brain network topology shapes neural activity patterns

Abstract: Brain networks are characterized by a number of distinctive topological features, such as a
heterogenous degree distribution with hubs, hierarchically organized modules, as well as a
characteristic spectrum of motifs and cycles. These features have consequences for various aspects
of brain dynamics, such as self‐sustained network activity, the wave‐like propagation of activations as
well as correlations and anti‐correlations of activity patterns. In a series of recent studies we have
demonstrated that the relation between neural network topology and dynamics can be
systematically investigated with the help of a simple, but powerful excitable (cellular automaton)
model which facilitates a mechanistic understanding of the contributions of different topological
features of brain networks to brain dynamics.

Titel: Sensing the Nanoscale with Optoplasmonics

Abstract: Nanophotonic device building blocks, such as optical nano/microcavities and plasmonic nanostructures, lie at the forefront of sensing and spectrometry of trace biological and chemical substances. My laboratory is developing a new class of nanophotonic architectures by combining optically resonant dielectric nano/microcavities with plasmonically resonant metal nanostructures to enable detection at the nanoscale with extraordinary sensitivity. Initial demonstrations include single-molecule detection and even single-ion sensing. The coupled photonic-plasmonic resonator system promises a leap forward in the nanoscale analysis of physical, chemical, and biological entities. I will review our work in this burgeoning field of optoplasmonic biosensors. I will also talk about our most recent advances in localising light at the nanoscale in disordered 2D photonic crystals.

Titel: Flow-induced Noise in Hydroacoustic Sensor Systems

Abstract: Sound can propagate over a large distance in the sea without significant attenuation and is therefore of unique importance in underwater communication, navigation, and detection. Underwater sound is received in these applications with hydroacoustic sensor systems that are often attached to or towed behind a vessel. The turbulent flow that forms around the hull of the moving sensor system induces hydroacoustic noise in the interior that dominates the noise level (and therefore limits the performance) at larger speeds due to the strong speed dependence of flow acoustic sources (e.g. Lighthill’s v8-law). In a series of research cruises in recent years the statistical properties and underlying physical mechanisms of interior hydroacoustic noise induced from outer turbulent flows have been investigated under sea conditions with towed measurement systems. The talk will focus on the spatio-temporal correlation of the turbulent noise sources as well as the filter properties of the mechanical hull structure and the embedded hydrophones. The analysis is predominantly performed in wavenumber-frequency space. New developments in piezoelectric thin-film sensor technology allow in principle the design of specific wavenumber filters for flow noise reduction. The potential of such sensors for future underwater applications is discussed.

Titel: Biomagnetic Sensing and Processing – Progress Using a Modular Approach

Abstract: In the field of biomagnetism the application of mathematical algorithms has been as important as the hardware itself. Traditionally, the hardware (the sensor Array) was based on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and operated for decades without large modifications. In contrast to that the range of relevant mathematical algorithms increased at a steady pace. This was driven by factors such as an ever increasing PC based computing power, new physiological insights motivating the application of existing algorithms, and the development of new algorithms to test biophysical models among others.

After around three decades of SQUID based Hardware, now new magnetic field sensors with the potential to replace or complement SQUIDs are available or under development. The opportunity for new sensors is the consequence of clinical challenges unsolved by state-of-the art SQUID based systems and due to new technology allowing alternative quantum physics based sensors in a small sized housing. These new sensors often have extra capabilities compared with SQUIDs and naturally some disadvantages. I will illustrate the modular approach using the example of optically pumped magnetometers and the signal processing toolbox FieldTrip.

Short biography

Tilmann Sander-Thömmes studied Physics at University of Freiburg and ETH Zürich and graduated there in 1992. He continued to obtain a PhD in solid-state physics at Imperial College in London. Following two post-docs in Berlin he has been working at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt since 2000 in the laboratory for Biosignals. Since 1998 he is involved with measuring and analysing magnetic brain signals. He is an expert in magnetoencephalography using both SQUIDs and more recently optically pumped magnetometers.

Titel: Brain Signal Acquisition with Miniaturized Electronic Systems for the Investigation of Local Neural Networks

Abstract:  In this talk, I will exemplify how advancements in the design of integrated sensor electronics enable new kinds of biomedical signal analysis:

In neuroscience research the development of the brain and the treatment of diseases like certain forms of epilepsy are analyzed with genetic mouse disease models. For the special case of the recording from neonatal mice (2-3 cm, 3-5 g) an implantable system has been developed, that enables chronic recordings. To achieve this, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) has been developed in an advanced 130 nm CMOS technology. Moreover, an implant and a recording system for live view of neural data have been presented. The functionality of the integrated circuit and the suitability of the implant system have been confirmed with in-vivo experiments with adult and 12 days old mice.

Titel:  Enhanced fatigue properties of phase-transforming materials by satisfying the cofactor conditions
 

Abstract:

Materials undergoing reversible solid-solid phase transformations provide emerging applications such as biomedical implants and stents, microelectronic actuators and sensors. The essential functionality of these materials is the ability to recover large deformation (i.e. 5~8%) before and after the structural transformation driven by temperature/stress/electromagnetic fields. The change of the lattice parameters and the breaking of symmetries, in turn, will cause the formation of microstructures, which lead to the accumulation of intrinsic defects at the stressed transition layer between phases.  It has been theorized that the macroscopic behaviors strongly depend on the kinematic properties of the transition layer between phases. If the lattice parameters satisfy some special mathematical conditions (the cofactor conditions), we observe that the functional fatigue properties of the phase-transforming materials have been tremendously improved. In this talk, we will briefly review the mathematical framework of the cofactor conditions and introduce an algorithmic way to evaluate these conditions directly from the X-ray measurements. We will also show some experimental results how the functional fatigue properties are enhanced at various length scales.

Titel: Acoustic wave lab-on-chip is now flexible, bendable and potentially wearable!

Abstract: Thin film acoustic wave devices especially surface acoustic waves (SAW) have been used for sample preparation (sorting, separating, mixing, nebulization and dispensing) as well as bio-sensing. This talk will focus on our recent work of flexible and wearable thin film acoustic wave lab-on-chip (mainly using ZnO and AlN films on flexible substrates) for acoustic wave based microfluidic applications. We report theoretical and experimental studies of the evolution, hybridization and decoupling of wave modes in the flexible acoustic wave devices, as well as their vibration patterns. thus providing a guide for different microfluidic applications. Thin film based flexible SAW devices have the potential to be integrated with other microfluidic and sensing technology on flexible substrates including CMOS integrated circuits to make novel lab-on-chip for bio-detection for wearable and flexible applications. SAW devices on commercial polymer and aluminum foils have been fabricated and various microfluidic functions, such as mixing, pumping, jetting have been demonstrated with bent and deformed acoustic wave devices.

Titel: Multivariate Algorithms for Machine Scheduling Problems

Abstract: Machine scheduling problems are a long-time key domain of algorithms and complexity research.  In those problems, we are generally given a finite set J of jobs with certain characteristics, and we must find a schedule for processing the jobs on one or more machines, which also may have their individual specifications. Typical characteristics of a job are its processing time, its release date, its due date, or its importance reflected by an integer weight. A significant amount of research has been devoted in the past 60 years towards designing polynomial-time algorithms which approximate the value of optimal schedules (for various objective functions). A novel approach to machine scheduling problems are multivariate algorithms, which aim to find a provably optimal schedule at the expense of an increased run time, which is permitted to depend moderately exponentially on the job characteristics or other structural parameters. We survey some recent algorithms in this paradigm, present some novel results, and discuss several challenging open problems in this exciting research area.

Titel: Cells and tissue as active materials

Abstract:

Biological systems such as cells and tissue use non-equilibrium processes to actively generate mechanical stress, movement and growth. Some of these processes can actually be reconstituted in biomimetic experiments with active soft matter. In this talk, we first discuss why and how contractile forces are generated by biological systems and how they can be measured, for example on soft elastic substrates. We then discuss how these contractile systems can be mathematically described by classical continuum mechanics extended by active elements. We finally explain how the local contractility of cells and tissue can be controled with optogenetics, and how the resulting forces and flows can be used to estimate their material properties.

Titel: Squish and squeeze – Nuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction in physiology and disease

Abstract: The nucleus is the characteristic feature of eukaryotic cells and houses the genomic information of the cell. The Lammerding laboratory is combining cell and molecular biology approaches with microfabricated devices that mimic physiological environments, live-cell microscopy, and in vivo models to investigate how physical forces acting on the nucleus, for example, in contracting muscle cells or during migration of cells through tight interstitial spaces, can challenge the integrity of the nucleus, alter its structure, and cause genomic and transcriptional changes. These processes play important roles in cellular mechanotransduction, i.e., the ability of cells to convert mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals, but can also contribute to various diseases when the nuclear structure is perturbed by mutations or altered protein expression. In particular, mutations in the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C are responsible for a broad spectrum of diseases (laminopathies), including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and dilated cardiomyopathy. The fact that most mutations result in highly tissue-specific disease phenotypes primarily affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles, in spite of the near ubiquitous expression of lamins A/C, suggest that lamin mutations may render cells more sensitive to mechanical stress, which then causes progressive cell failure in mechanically stressed tissues. I will discuss our recent findings that highlight the importance of lamins A/C in mediating nuclear stability and mechanotransduction in mechanically stressed cells and tissues. At the same time, increased nuclear deformability, caused for example by reduced levels of lamins A/C, can promote cell migration through tight spaces with cross-sections smaller than the nuclear diameter, where the large size and rigidity of the nucleus can constitute a rate-limiting factor. I will present recent findings that demonstrate the importance of nuclear mechanics during cell migration in confined environments in vitro and in vivo, as well as the functional consequences of cells having to squeeze their large nuclei through tight interstitial spaces and small pores in the extracellular matrix network, with a particular focus on breast cancer.

Titel: RF NEMS Magnetoelectric Sensors

Abstract: The coexistence of electric polarization and magnetization in multiferroic materials provides great opportunities for realizing magnetoelectric coupling, including electric field control of magnetism, or vice versa, through a strain mediated magnetoelectric coupling in layered magnetic/ferroelectric multiferroic heterostructures [1-9]. Strong magnetoelectric coupling has been the enabling factor for different multiferroic devices, which however has been elusive, particularly at RF/microwave frequencies. In this presentation, I will cover the most recent progress on new integrated magnetoelectric materials, magnetoelectric NEMS (nanoelectromechanical system) based sensors and antennas. Specifically, we will introduce magnetoelectric multiferroic materials, and their applications in different devices, including: (1) novel ultra-compact RF NEMS acoustic magnetoelectric antennas immune from ground plane effect with < l0/100 in size, self-biased operation and potentially 1~2% voltage tunable operation frequency; and (2) ultra-sensitive RF NEMS magnetoelectric magnetometers with ultra-low noise of ~1pT/Hz1/2 at 10 Hz for DC and AC magnetic fields sensing. These novel magnetoelectric devices show great promise for applications in compact, lightweight and power efficient sensors and sensing systems, ultra-compact antennas and for radars, communication systems, biomedical devices, IoT, etc.

Titel: Engineering the immune system with graphitic nanomaterials

Abstract: Recent work shows that immune cell signalling is controlled by supramolecular assemblies of molecules on the c. 100 nm scale.  This insight offers the possibility of developing new nano-scale reagents to direct immune cell activation. We have used nano-flakes of graphene oxide as templates to develop molecular nanoclusters of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that stimulate immune cells. This technology is applied to Natural Killer (NK) cells: a key cell type in the body’s natural anti-cancer defences. The nanoclusters successfully activate NK cells, enhancing the potency of the clustered mAb. This demonstrates molecular nanoclustering as a powerful approach to developing new immunomodulatory reagents with graphene oxide -templated nanoclusters a strong candidate technology.

Titel: Closed-loop active flow control of repetitive disturbances in a linear stator cascade

Abstract: This presentation demonstrates the mitigation of disturbances in a periodically throttled compressor stator cascade by closed-loop active flow control. The work is motivated by the replacement of a constant pressure combustion of a gas turbine with the significantly more efficient constant volume counterpart. One way of implementing a constant volume combustion is a pulse detonation engine. In such an engine, the heat addition takes place in a discontinuous, detonative manner while the inlets to the combustion tubes are closed. As a result, periodic pressure waves will be transmitted upstream into the compressor. A successful exploitation of this new combustion system therefore strongly depends on the ability to dampen negative effects resulting from these disturbances. To this end, active flow control is applied based on two different actuators for the sidewalls and the blade. Blowing fluidic switches are used to excite flow modes to decrease detrimental corner vortices and premature flow separation. For closed-loop control, the repetitive nature of the disturbances can be utilized to increase control performance. Three concepts will be considered here and compared. In iterative learning control (ILC), either in a frequency-based or time-based formulation, un-modeled nonlinear effects and disturbances are learned over the cycles to some extent and used to adapt the control inputs. As an alternative, repetitive model predictive control (RMPC) is introduced which more directly makes use of remaining control errors of a last cycle. RMPC and one of the ILC formulations, which solve respective optimization problems on-line, outperformed the considered frequency-based version of classical ILC with respect to control performance. However, the frequency domain ILC variant might benefit from its robustness features.
