Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) removes tumor with margins of healthy tissue from patient’s body and is one of the main treatments for patients with early-stage breast cancer. However, ~20-30% of patients undertaking BCS require a second surgery, due to the lack of effective intraoperative cancer detection methods and residual cancer detected close to the margins of the excised mass after the initial surgery. Optical elastography, an emerging technique which maps the tissue mechanical properties into 2-D or 3-D images, holds promise to assess tumor margins accurately and rapidly during surgery, enabling surgeons to ensure complete excision of tumor. We developed optical elastography techniques based on optical coherence tomography and recently demonstrated an accuracy of 95% for tumor margin assessment on excised breast tissue using a benchtop system. In addition, we demonstrated the first in vivo intraoperative breast cancer detection using a handheld optical elastography probe. Moreover, to optimize the likely uptake of optical elastography by surgeons, we developed a variant of optical elastography, termed camera-based optical palpation, using simple, cost-effective digital cameras to assist surgeon remove the residual cancer. As camera-based optical palpation is cost-effective and portable, it holds promise to be widely used not only in metropolitan hospitals but also in hospitals in rural and remote areas, improving equity of access to optimal treatment for patients.

In this talk, I will present radio frequency design solutions for wireless sensors and communication nodes to solve sustainability issues in the Internet of things (IoT) due to the massive deployment of wireless IoT nodes on environmental, economic, and societal levels. Engineers can apply these design solutions to improve the (ultra-)low-power operation of IoT nodes, avoid batteries’ eco-toxicity, and decrease maintenance costs due to battery replacement. The presented solutions offer high integration levels based on system-on-chip and system-in-package concepts in low-cost complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technologies to limit the costs and carbon footprints of these nodes.

Live Workshops: 4:00PM – 5:30PM EST; Thursdays, January 26, February 2, 9, 16 and 23. Attendees will have access to the recorded session and exercises for two months (until April 23) after the live session ends! New Format Combining Live Workshops with Pre-recorded Video This is a hands-on course providing pre-recorded lectures that students can watch on their own schedule and an unlimited number of times prior to live Q&A/Workshop sessions with the instructor. Ten 1.5 hour videos released 2 per week while the course is in session will be available for up to two months after the conclusion of the course. Course Summary This course builds on the IEEE course “DSP for Wireless Communications” also taught by Dan Boschen, further detailing digital signal processing most applicable to practical real-world problems and applications in radio communication systems. Students need not have taken the prior course if they are familiar with fundamental DSP concepts such as the Laplace and Z transform and basic digital filter design principles. This course brings together core DSP concepts to address signal processing challenges encountered in radios and modems for modern wireless communications. Specific areas covered include carrier and timing recovery, equalization, automatic gain control, and considerations to mitigate the effects of RF and channel distortions such as multipath, phase noise and amplitude/phase offsets. Dan builds an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the use of graphics, visual demonstrations, and real-world applications for mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware development challenges, rather than a tutorial on implementations with DSP processors. Now with Jupyter Notebooks!

This talk explores an interesting approach for text retrieval: a community-based approach called "coopetitions." Coopetitions are activities in which competitors cooperate for a common good. Community evaluations such as the Text REtrieval Conference (TREC, trec.nist.gov) are prototypical examples of coopetitions in information retrieval, and they have now been part of the field for more than thirty years. This longevity and the proliferation of shared evaluation tasks suggest that, indeed, the net impact of community evaluations is positive. Coopetitions can improve effectiveness for a retrieval task by setting up a collaborative structure: establishing a research cohort and constructing the infrastructure (including problem definition, test collections, scoring metrics, and research methodology) that the participants need to make progress on the task. They can also facilitate technology transfer and amortize the infrastructure costs. Yet these benefits only accrue when the infrastructure is a good abstraction of the real task. Information retrieval's test collection paradigm is becoming increasingly untenable as corpus size grows and search engine effectiveness improves. This talk will review what we have learned about test-collection-based evaluation of search engines from TREC and examine the prospects of search evaluation in the future.
