Title: Wearable Technology for Healthcare and Athletic Performance
Abstract: In the future, wearable technology will provide a continuous, autonomous, and comprehensive assessment of a person’s health. This future presents a tremendous opportunity for the development of new wearable devices that will support predictive analytics and personalized medicine. On the hardware side, we are liberating sensors from the bench top in the clinical lab and introducing them into the wild. Most commonly, smartwatches provide sensors that enable vital sign monitoring, such as heart rate and pulse oximetry. However, many of the most powerful sensing techniques are still limited to the benchtop. In this talk, I will introduce my recent work on developing a wearable optical spectroscopy device for non-invasive health monitoring. I will discuss the challenges of redesigning traditional spectroscopic methods to overcome the resource constraints of a wearable device and facilitate the adaptation to dynamically changing environments. Further, I will explore how this device can be used to continuously monitor biomarkers such as glucose or opioids. Finally, I will discuss my vision for the future; enabling a future where everyone has a comprehensive understanding of their own health at their fingertips.

Title: Bridging the Gap in Prediction, Optimization, and Control of Integrated Dynamic Systems
Abstract: Integrated systems are ubiquitous as more heterogeneous physical entities are combined to form functional platforms. With increased connectivity, new and “invisible” feedback loops and physical couplings are introduced, leading to emerging dynamics and making the integrated systems more control-intensive. The multi-physics, multi-time scale, and distributed-actuation natures of integrated systems present new challenges for modeling and control. Understanding their operating environments, achieving sustained high performance, and incorporating rich but incomplete data also motivate the development of novel design tools and frameworks.
