The course deals with computational methods to analytically intractable mathematical problems in biological research. For the first half of the course, general numerical analysis topics are reviewed such as linear algebra, ODE and PDE. Through homework assignments, students write their own computer code. Sufficient sample solutions are given to practice various numerical methods within limited time. The rest of the course is comprised of case studies and projects. Examples of computational analyses are drawn from life science problems such as biodynamics of human loco motion, ion channel kinetics, ionic diffusion, and finite element analysis of cells/tissues. For final project, students bring their own research problems, express them in mathematical equations, solve them using custom written computer programs and interpret the solutions. Prerequisites: Fundamental linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, some experience with MatLAB.

Viscoelastic materials have the capacity to both store and dissipate energy. As a result, properly describing their mechanical behavior lies outside the scope of both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. This course will develop constitutive relations and strategies for solving boundary value problems in linear viscoelastic materials. In addition, the closely-related biphasic theory for fluid-filled porous solids will be introduced. An emphasis will be placed on applications to cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle, blood vessels, and other biological tissues. Advanced topics including non-linear viscoelasticity, composite viscoelasticity and physical mechanisms of viscoelasticity will be surveyed. Preerequisites: ME225 or CHE243; ME226 or BME201

This is the second course offered as part of the PhD training program on augmented and virtual reality. It builds on the first course, Introduction to Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). The goal of the course is to provide exposure to problems in the AR/VR domain addressed by various disciplines. The course consists of three one-month long modules in a semester. Modules engage students in particular aspects of AR/VR or hands-on experience on AR/VR. Modules to be offered in various years include: fundamentals of optics for AR/VR; AR/VR in the silicon; foundations of visual perception in the context of AR/VR; computer audition and acoustic rendering; measuring the human brain; deep learning and visual recognition for AR/VR; brain-computer interfacing in a virtual environment; 3D interfaces and interaction; AR/VR for collaborative education & professional training. In Spring 2021, the following three modules will be offered: 1) AR/VR in the silicon (Prof. Yuhao Zhu). This module will first take a look at how AR and VR are evolving and some applications and use cases. Then, we will provide a review of some of the key technology challenges in silicon, a.k.a., processor chips, that need to be overcome before widespread deployment of AR and VR and the breakthroughs in silicon that are required to enable this future. We will then discuss some recent advances proposed to meet the silicon performance/power targets. 2) Brain-computer interfacing in a virtual environment (Prof. Mujdat Cetin). Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems aim to establish direct interaction channels between the brain and external devices. In this module, we will explore recent and ongoing efforts to couple noninvasive EEG-based BCIs with AR/VR systems. The module will cover topics including (1) brain activity as a control signal in AR/VR systems, (2) cognitive state monitoring and affective BCIs in virtual environments, (3) analyzing neural activity to guide AR/VR system design. 3) Professional encounters with leading AR/VR researchers. This module will involve a series of seminars and discussion sessions with leading AR/VR researchers from academia and industry. prerequisites: ECE 410 or OPT 410 or BME 410 or NSCI 415 or CSC 413 or CVSC 534

This interactive course focuses on Intellectual Property (IP) and FDA regulatory pathways for medical innovations. Emphasis will be placed on how knowledge of IP protection and evaluation, and regulatory barriers can optimize design, testing and commercialization strategies. Building on BME431 material, students will learn about the processes and barriers to bringing medical products through clinical trials. Instruction will include lectures, case studies, guest speakers and integrated assignments that will ask students to explore examples of IP and regulatory challenges, successes and failures. Lectures on regulatory and IP topics will alternate so students can appreciate the difficulty presented by balancing these two challenges in the innovation process. Some assignments may be tailored to individual student'sresearch, design or work concentration areas. A project conducted in partnership with the FDA will provide students an opportunity to submit a mock pre-Submission to the FDA for review and feedback.
