The focus of the research in the WPI AIM Lab is on medical robotics - the link that allows us to enable closed loop medicine by using real time feedback to guide a surgical procedure. In order to take the most advantage of robots in surgery, we want to integrate real time medical imaging with the interventional procedure. Due to its potential for high resolution, high soft tissue contrast, high speed, multi-parametric, and volumetric imaging without ionizing radiation, MRI is an ideal imaging modality for surgical guidance. However, challenges associated with MRI include tight spatial constraints of the bore, strong magnetic fields, and high sensitivity to electric fields. The primary research goal of the WPI Automation and Interventional medicine (AIM) Laboratory is to develop safe and effective enabling technologies for MRI-guided interventional procedures. I will be presenting our work in development of novel sensors, actuators, and controllers for MRI-compatible robots as well as two applications: 1) a pneumatic robot for transperineal prostate brachytherapy and biopsy for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, and 2) a peizoelectrically driven robot for aligning deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes for the treatment of Parkinsons Disease.

Desourdis Jr. Senior Systems Architect, VP for Technology Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) Abstract: This lecture will describe both the essential use of adaptive sense-and-respond IT and communication architecture to achieve the promise of smart cities and an approach for achieving critical IT and communication interoperability. It depicts sample results for a fictitious day-to-day commuting and emergency/disaster evacuation, and demonstrates how the same sense-and-respond architecture employed for a day-to-day smart-city commuting problem also applies to evacuation involving that city. At this point, smart-city resilience to man-made and natural disasters has been achieved by ensuring individual authorities are not overburdened with sole decision-making responsibility for responding to these large-scale events. These authorities maintain oversight and can affect directives, but they no longer need to rapidly determine solutions in complex environments because tested policies and procedures have already been put in place. The lessons from history are then learned and applied to public safety and emergency response in the smart city. *Robert Desourdis will be holding a book signing at 2:00 pm on February 11th at the campus center book store where two of his newest books will be available for purchase! *New book from Bob Desourdis et al: Achieving Interoperability in Critical IT and Communication Systems, http://www.amazon.com/Achieving-Interoperability-Critical-Communication-Systems/dp/1596933895 addressing several misconceptions and misunderstandings about communications interoperability that continue to limit capabilities in the field, this unique book provides a detailed examination of the subject, focusing on the use of voice, data, and video systems for public safety and emergency response.

In future these devices and the metals will become more important as they contribute to renewable energy generation and energy storage, clean air and more efficient production processes among others. The other side of the coin is that these metals are not abundant, leading to intense discussions about metal scarcity: "When are we running out?" and "What can be done to prevent this?". Recycling of metals from end of life devices is an important contributor to the future metal supply. The opportunities and challenges in recovering technology metals from electronics, catalysts, batteries and PV applications will be discussed from a holistic, life cycle perspective. Besides the technical factors also other aspects are taken into account, in the context of the People - Planet - Profit perspectives for sustainable development. Speaker Bio: Christina Meskers is business development manager at UMICORE Precious Metals Refining in Hoboken, Belgium. Her activities encompass projects with internal and external (research) partners in the areas of recycling (among others electronic waste), clean technologies (photovoltaic, batteries), sustainable materials supply, life cycle optimization, and sustainability of metal cycles in the broadest sense. Furthermore she is actively engaged in industry associations & work groups, such as of StEP and the UNEP-OECD Resource Panel, and has made numerous publications as well as presentations at related conferences. Christina received her MSc and PhD degrees in Metallurgical Engineering from Delft University of Technology in 2008 and directly started to work at Umicore. During her PhD the focus was on developing metrics to evaluate the impact of design choices on the effectiveness of recycling processes to improve the overall 'sustainability' of metal life cycles. She is an active member of TMS and currently is the Vice-Chair of their Materials & Society Committee, as well as member of the Recycling Committee.

Roy Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Boston University Abstract: It is well known that ultrasound has found a home in medicine. Scattered ultrasound waves provide a means for imaging organs, blood flow, and tissue structure. High intensity ultrasound can remotely ablate tissue volumes as small as a grain of rice. What is not well known is microscopic bubbles are implicated in many of these processes. Microbubbles enhance blood flow imaging and high intensity sound can generate bubbles in situ, a process known as acoustic cavitation. Cavitation bubbles convert acoustical energy to a form of mechanical energy that is highly concentrated in both space and time, resulting in a plethora of effects ranging from accelerated tissue heating to tissue ablation, from sonoporation to microscopic streaming. These "mechanical bioeffects" play a role in a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures involving ultrasound. We present an introductory overview of the relevant bubble physics and the roles played by bubbles and cavitation in biomedical ultrasonics.

Is globalization good for democracy? Has globalization in its various forms made our governing institutions more or less accountable to citizens, and why? Looking at international economic institutions (such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank), political institutions (the United Nations), private military companies and peacekeepers, the European Court for Human Rights, and cross-border social movements, Prof. Sperling asks whether these transnational forces strengthen democracy in the countries with which they interact, and investigates the degree to which transnational institutions themselves can be held responsible to the many people whose lives they affect.

Speaker: Joseph Sousa Engineer, Linear Technology Abstract: The super regenerative radio frequency detector, that Edwin Howard Armstrong invented in 1922, embodies many concepts that we have come to understand are at the heart of modern Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog conversion. Some of these concepts include sampling, nearly infinite regenerative gain and pulse width modulation. The extraordinary energy efficiency of the super-regenerative detector has kept it as a topic of current research and it is embodied in new product designs. Historic connections will be made alongside conceptual connections to present a broad perspective of the topic. Circuit diagrams, signal flow charts, and signal illustrations will be presented to flesh out the operation of super regenerative detection. Bio: Joe Sousa has designed Analog-to-Digital converters for nearly three decades. These designs evolved from discrete modular, to hybrid and monolithic technologies. Along the way, Joe has contributed several patents to help advance the state of the ADC design art. Side interests include antique electronics, and the engineering of earlier eras. He holds a full time job designing ADC's in 2009 but, for recreation, enjoys occasional time travel to design tube radios and unreasonable electronic contraptions with 1920's or 1950's technology.

Traffic accidents lead by a wide margin any other cause of death in the 15 to 34 age group. Moreover, traffic congestion wastes 40 percent of travel time, unnecessarily consumes about 2.3 billion gallons of fuel per year, and adversely impacts the environment. Many countries are planning the deployment of large scale vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) due to the potentially dramatic improvements in safety, highway efficiency, and driver convenience.   In this talk, we first give an overview of VANETs. We then provide a mathematical framework for analysis of these networks. In urban areas the geometry of roads and the placement of obstacles play an important role in determining the efficient communication strategy. Here, due to the high penetration loss of the 5.9 GH.z. wave passing through obstacles, single-hop communications between non-Line-of-Sight vehicles is not always the best choice. In our study we develop a geometrical framework to address the safety measures of urban transportation networks. Moreover we propose criteria to indicate how obstacles can degrade the safety measures of a network by hindering the Line-of-Sight of near-by vehicles.   We then present our findings from a real life implementation of a VANET prototype that exploits dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) technology to alert drivers of potential red light runners. The project is tested in a variety of situations to show its effectiveness for different scenarios.   Bio:  Hossein Pishro-Nik is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He received a B.S. degree from Sharif University of Technology, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Georgia Institute of Technology, all in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since joining UMass in 2005, Professor Pishro-Nik has built a research program focused on the mathematical analysis of communication systems, in particular, Error Control Coding, Wireless Networks, and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks. His awards include an NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award, an Outstanding Junior Faculty Award from UMass, and an Outstanding Graduate Research Award from Georgia Tech.
