Event Details
Please note, the event is only open to the NYUAD Community
The Engineering Division at NYU Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with the Office of Inclusion and Equity, is devoted to educating future engineers and aims to educate the community on how IDBE and Engineering are tied in our daily life, in terms of education and practices. Therefore, we established the Engineering IDBE Seminar Series at the core of our mission. The virtual monthly seminars will be attended by students, researchers, staff, and faculty from Engineering as well as from the diverse family of NYU Abu Dhabi. Click here for details on the talks scheduled for this year and to learn more about Engineering IDBE.
Engineering conducts a well-structured seminar series with speakers and experts from the region and around the globe. The seminars will take place via Zoom on Sundays from 11am-12pm unless otherwise stated.
Fibers are 1D materials that are flexible and can be formed into literally any shape using well-established textile methods or 3D printing. Fiber-shapes constructs with high anisotropic mechanical and chemical properties that are similar to those observed in native tissues. Fibers with diameters ranging from tens to hundreds of micrometers can be embroidered into tissues with minimum damage to the tissue for measuring biological markers or releasing drugs directly to the disease site. In my talk, I will present my group’s recent effort in producing advanced multifunctional fibers for use in tissue engineering and biosensing.

The transformation of critical grid infrastructures into cyber-physical systems contributes towards modernization allowing for better planning, more flexible control, system-wide optimization, etc. The security, however, of such systems presents significant challenges in controlling and maintaining secure access to critical system resources and services. Cyber discovery, vulnerability assessment, rapid risk mitigation, and resilient control of modern large-scale cyber-physical systems should consider the interdependence between all system layers. The talk will present different cases of attack strategies simulated under nominal and abnormal operating conditions to uncover their system-wide impacts in power systems, as well as illustrate the impact of such attacks and the feasibility of detection methods in simulation models in order to enhance system resilience

In clinical reality, the need of quantitative tumour growth and progression predictions is pivotal for designing individualized therapies. To achieve this a plethora of examinations is conducted to assess the tumour lesion state, spanning from blood sample analysis, clinical imaging (e.g. CT, MRI), biopsy sampling, -omics screening etc. Such medical data correspond to snapshots in time of the patient’s state and in the current standard of care (SoC) their collection relies on patient’s clinical presentation. This implies that we cannot acquire many data timepoints hampering the personalized calibration of mathematical models and their corresponding prediction potential. Moreover, many clinical data types are not useful in informing phenotypic plasticity models hindering their clinical applicability. In a nutshell, the use of phenotypic plasticity models in the current cancer SoC faces the following challenges: (C1) data collection is sparse in time since it relies on patient’s clinical presentation, (C2) we lack the knowledge of the precise pathways involved in regulating phenotypic plasticity mechanisms, and (C3) medical data cannot always inform mathematical models.
Overcoming the afore-mentioned challenges to predict the future of a disease and propose an appropriate treatment (e.g., choice of a drug targeting proteins expressed in the tumour) is a formidable but not impossible task. In this talk I will present a novel methodology that combines mechanistic modelling and machine learning in delivering clinically relevant tumour growth predictions.
