His research is focused primarily on the physics of vision and on color vision, and his efforts are aimed at the development of representations and algorithms that support the recognition of three-dimensional objects in complex scenes. He accomplishes this by using physical models for illuminants, surfaces and sensors to derive models that relate image observables - such as color and texture ñ to surface and scene characteristics. He also is developing algorithms for image segmentation and description. Healey's current efforts include an understanding of the role digital cameras play in computer vision; the development of new methods for color constancy (the ability of a vision system to assign a color description to an object); and the development and demonstration of new algorithms for the illumination, atmospheric and temperature invariant recognition of materials in hyperspectral images. Other projects concern image segmentation, locating regions in an image that correspond to surfaces or objects in the scene; and the development of texture recognition methods that are invariant to factors such as scene geometry and illumination conditions. The applications for Healey's work are target detection in infrared images, fire detection, motion tracking, color illumination for the inspection of plants, and illumination invariant recognition in satellite images. In the future, Healey's work may be used in the classification and quantification of cells in brain images for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other conditions.

While Al alloys have been used in airplane structures and automobile engine blocks, they were excused from electronics except in equipment casings and heatsinks. Al possesses superior physical properties: (1) lightweight, only 30% of Cu, the lightest among non-alkaline metals, (3) high electrical and thermal conductivities, (3) corrosion resistant, and (4) ease to manufacture. Why was not Al used as circuit boards or base plates? I set out to investigate Al in electronic applications. People did try to embrace Al for electronic packaging but eventually gave up and forgot about it. Here are the reasons that I identified: (a) Unlike its friend Cu, Al is not solderable, (b) Al has high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), probably highest among metals, (c) Insulating layer cannot be reliably grown on Al. Just the high CTE alone has turned most people away. So, I began my ACB technology journey. We first developed a process to bond tin (Sn) to Al substrates, without flux, of course. We then bonded large Si chips to Al substrates using fluxless Sn. The bonded structures survived the terrible CTE mismatch between Si and Al, the largest in electronic packaging. We then invented a process to grow high quality oxide layer on Al substrates, and further found a process to place high quality Cu film, up to 25µm, over the oxide. As you can see, all the hurdles or excuses of not choosing Al for circuit boards are eliminated. It is up to the electronic industry to reconsider its new role. (B) Fluxless Soldering and Bonding Processes Bonding means connecting two objects together in atomic scale on the interface. Soldering is a bonding process using solders. Solders are metallic alloys having low melting temperature, 100-300°C. At present, the most popular solder is alloy of tin (Sn) with 3 wt. % of silver (Ag) and 0.5 wt. % of Cu. It melts at 220°C. Flux contains organic acidic resin as main ingredient.It is used in every industrial soldering operation to reduce and remove oxides on the solder and on the metal to be soldered to, such as Cu. Without flux, solder will not bond to the metal. Flux and residues are easily trapped in the solder joint, weakening the joint and increasing its fatigue. The electronic industry has been struggling with this problem and cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. Well, for 2 decades, we have provided the light for the industry to see. Specifically, we have developed numerous fluxless processes to demonstrate void-free joints including: bonding gallium arsenide (GaAs) chip using gold-tin (Au-Sn) eutectic, bonding large silicon chips using Au-Sn alloy, bonding GaAs chips using multiple layers of Au and Sn deposited on chip backside, bonding GaAs chips on Cu substrates using multilayer In-Au composite. We also bonded Si to glass, Si to alumina (Al2O3 ceramic), Si to Cu, Si to molybdenum (Mo), and glass to alumina using Sn or Au-Sn. A new fluxless process using Cr/In/Au composite was invented. It needs a process temperature of only 200°C, but the resulting joint achieves 460°C melting temperature. High temperature joints, i.e., up to 850°C, were also fabricated using Ag-In, Ag-Sn, Cu-In and Cu-Sn systems at low process temperatures. In a specific design, the joint was converted entirely into solid solution phase (Ag) that has melting temperature higher than 850°C while the joint was made at 180°C. How could that be possible? Well, it is indeed possible. The systems that we have explored include: Au-Sn, Au-In, Ag-Sn, Ag-In, Cu-Sn, Cu-In, Sn-Bi and Sn-In for a wide variety of applications. We never used flux in any of our processes. Our most recent project is fluxless Sn bonding process without intermetallic compound (IMC) formation. (C) Solid-state Atomic Bonding Technology Solid-state bonding means bonding without molten phase. Why solid-state bonding? Well, it can be done at a temperature much lower than the melting temperature of the materials to be bonded. Why is low bonding temperature important? Here are reasons: most devices and materials cannot take high temperature, and high bonding temperature induces high stress on bonded structures due to CTE mismatch. Atomic bonding means bonding on atomic scale. Putting them together, solid-state atomic bonding means bonding in atomic scale without molten phase. Here is my theory: when A atoms and B atoms are brought within atomic range so that they see each other, bonding will occur provided that A atoms and B atoms are attracted to each other by sharing electrons. We had bonded silver foils to Cu substrates at 250°C with only 1,000psi of static pressure applied. This is less than 1/10 of pressure used in conventional thermal compression bonding. We had also bonded Si chips to Cu substrates using either Ag foils or electroplated Ag. Ag was chosen because of its superior physical properties: have highest electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity among metals, are ductile, and are highly reliable under thermal cycling environment. By using Au as the bonding medium in the solid-state bonding process, the pressure can be reduced to 160psi. (D) Silver and Ag/Au Flip-chip Interconnect Technology In flip-chip interconnect configuration, the Si chip is flipped with active surface facing down and connected to the package substrate using numerous small lead-free (Pb-free) solder joints. Compared to wire bonding, the flip-chip method provides two advantages: (1) very short connect length, thus low inductance and high operating frequency and (b) high input/output (I/O) connect density. At present, nearly all large scale integrated (LSI) circuit chips are connected by flip-chip method using solders. As transistor size on IC chips continues to scale down, the flip-chip joints have to shrink too. When the pitch (periodicity) of joints goes down to 100µm, shear strain and IMC issues on solder joints cannot be fundamentally overcome. The electronic industry has been struggling with this and could not find a way out. We turned to using pure Ag as the joint material. We have demonstrated Ag flip-chip joints with pitch of 40µm and size of 15µm between Si chips and Cu substrates. We have also demonstrated Cu/Ag, Cu/Au, and Ag/Cu composite flip-chip joints. Compared to solder-based flip-chip interconnect, Ag and Ag/Au flip-chip technology has 13 potential undisputable advantages: a. Higher electrical conductivity, 7.7 times of that of Pb-free solder, b. Higher thermal conductivity, 5.2 times of that of Pb-free solders, c. Completely fluxless; thus 100% green, d. No IMCs, all reliability issues associated with IMC and IMC growth do not exist, e. Ductile Ag can manage CTE mismatch between chips and packages, f. High melting temperature, 961ºC for Ag joints, g. No molten phase involved; the bump can better keep its shape and geometry, h. No molten phase involved; bridging of adjacent bumps less likely to occur, i. Aspect ratio of joints can be greater than 1, j. No under-fill material between chip and substrate is needed, k. No solder mask is needed, l. Higher alignment tolerance because of solid-state bonding, m. The size of the bumps is only limited by the photolithographic process. (E) Topology Microwave Filters on Coplanar Strip (CPS) Lines The band-pass filer is made in a short section of a CPS line. It connects directly to input and output CPS lines without any transition. In this filter section, a topology on the CPS electrodes is carved to emulate a lumped-element RLC circuit that gives the filer response. The topology filer does not cost any thing extra to fabricate; it is practically free.Electronic Packaging, Fluxless Bonding Technology, Thermal Analysis and Measurement of Electronic Devices, Microwave Devices, Optics and Integrated Optics, AcousticsFaculty

In the fiber-optic area, the research is aimed at advancing an ëall-in-the-fiber' platform for telecommunication and sensor networks. In this vision, light is to be generated, modulated, filtered, and switched without ever having to leave the fiber medium itself. Such an approach would solve a fundamental bottleneck in photonic technology, namely, optical coupling from one medium to another. Currently, Lee's research is focused on all-fiber tunable grating devices, such as tunable fiber Bragg gratings, long-period gratings, and acousto-optic tunable filters in optical fibers. Recent advances in micro-engineered and structured fiber and photonic crystal fibers in both glass and polymer mediums provide unprecedented opportunities for extending the functionalities of all-fiber technology to applications in optical networking, sensors and instrumentations. Lee is also involved in material, device, and fabrication technology for III-V compound semiconductors. The main focuses are: GaN-based solid-state lighting technology and III-V epitaxy, including sensor-based intelligent epitaxy and growth of highly mismatched semiconductors. In the solid-state lighting research, work is currently concentrated in developing transparent contact (ITO, ZnO) technology, self-assembly for LED packaging, and high-temperature characterization of GaN LEDs.Faculty

Research on jet aeroacoustics focuses on new ways to suppress sound generated from aircraft engines. This includes high-bypass turbofan engines used on commercial jetliners and low-bypass engines used in supersonic aircraft. Noise suppression technologies invented by Dr. Papamoschou include the Fan Flow Deflection (FFD) technique and the Mach Wave Elimination (MWE) method. FFD is directed mostly for subsonic aircraft while MWE is applicable primarily to supersonic aircraft. Both technologies are being actively investigated not only at UCI but also at NASA. On the FFD technique in particular, the university has teamed up with an industrial partner for commercialization. The foundation of the noise reduction methods is basic research on the mean flow, turbulent structure, and acoustic emission of compressible jets and shear layers. While the bulk of the research is experimental, theoretical efforts are also being pursued. Mixing enhancement is desirable in a host of applications, from fuel injectors to turbine engine exhausts. An innovative technique, developed by Dr. Papamoschou, uses axial flow of a gas to enhance mixing of the gas itself or of an adjacent fluid (gas or liquid). The method, called Mixing Enhancement Using Axial Flow (MEAF), has been applied to subsonic and supersonic gaseous jets issuing from round or rectangular nozzles, as well as water jets simulating fuel injectors. Some of the nozzles used in the gaseous tests have simulated geometries of turbofan and turboprop exhausts. The fundamental phenomenon that causes mixing is supersonic nozzle flow separation. It is being investigated in dedicated facilities using optical diagnostics and turbulence measurements. Experiments for all the subjects mentioned above are being conducted in a lab equipped with unique test rigs designed and built at UCI. The investigation of turbulent and aeroacoustic phenomena often requires use of specialized diagnostics, some of which were developed in this lab. This includes a double-exposure laser-induced fluorescence method for detection of the turbulent structure in jets and shear layers, and a small-aperture microphone phased array for localization of noise sources in turbulent jets. Dr. Papamoschou collaborates with researchers at UCI and outside institutions, including NASA Glenn Research Center, NASA Langley Research Center, Goodrich Corporation, Boeing Company, National University of Singapore, <placename w:st="on">Penn</placename> <placetype w:st="on">State</placetype> <placetype w:st="on">University</placetype>, and <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">McGill</placename> <placetype w:st="on">University</placetype></place>.Compressible turbulence, aeroacoustics, jet noise, mixing enhancementFaculty

My recent work in machine learning and artificial intelligence includes the theoretical and practical challenges of designing distributed and quantized learning algorithms, e.g. federated learning algorithms, that do not need to transmit the collected data over networks. In many applications, multiple access nodes collect and/or disseminate local information over a certain geographical area of interest. In such distributed networks, both data and computational power are distributed. The main challenge is to design robust distributed learning algorithms that only need to communicate a limited number of bits with neighboring nodes instead of sharing the entire collected data. I have been working on the theoretical and practical challenges of designing communication systems and networks that use multiple antennas and/or relays, especially in the presence of interference. There are many challenges in designing space-time coding and beamforming schemes for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems and designing distributed methods for cooperative communications especially in the presence of interference. One of these challenges is to study the theoretical tradeoffs and limits from an information theory perspective. Another is to design practical coding and beamforming schemes that satisfy those limits using signal-processing methods. On a related topic, I have been looking at optimizing resources across different layers of a wireless network. This is in particular important for mobile ad-hoc networks and wireless sensor networks where the traditional layer hierarchies may not exist. I am interested in UAV networks, cross-layer adaptation, network connectivity, power-aware wireless network protocols, optimal node deployment especially for heterogeneous sensor networks and IoT, cooperative communications, and interference cancellation especially for networks with multiple-antenna nodes and relays. Recent challenges involve the design of quantized and distributed machine learning algorithms and trajectory optimization for UAVs. Also, I have been involved in developing data compression algorithms especially for image and video coding. My work in this field includes the transmission of multimedia information over wireless networks and the Internet. A related topic of interest is the image/video quality estimation especially for a heterogeneous network that supports different resolutions and bandwidth. I am interested in developing new coding schemes and network protocols that improve end-to-end recovery and enhance the quality of service.

Specifically, Lee was responsible for identifying new opportunities in interagency collaborations and new strategies to promote technology maturation, as well as for providing expert advice on promoting technology development within NIH. Before joining NCI, Lee was a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) (1999-2001) in the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO). At DARPA, he started the $59 million BioFlips (Bio-Fluidic Chips) program and was one of three founding program managers guiding the “Fundamental Research at the Bio:Info:Micro Intersection” program. These programs set the technical foundations that were instrumental in shaping the nation’s leadership position in microfluidics and BioMEMS. His research has contributed to the founding of several startup companies. He owns 55 issued U.S. patents and is author of over 120 journals articles. Professor Lee was awarded the 2009 Pioneers of Miniaturization Prize and is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) and the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). At UCI, Lee is director of the Center for Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Integrated Microfluidics (CADMIM), an NSF Industry/University Collaborative Research Center. He served as the editor-in-chief for the Lab on a Chip journal (Royal Society of Chemistry) from 2017-2020 and department chair of biomedical engineering at UCI from 2010-2019. He was conference chair of the 21st International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (<a href="https://www.microtasconferences.org/microtas2017/">MicroTAS 2017</a>) held in Savannah, Georgia.Over the years, Abraham “Abe” Lee has pioneered research in MEMS, BioMEMS and microfluidics/lab-on-a-chip technologies. Early in his career, he developed microactuators for micro-surgical devices and later applied these technologies to the manipulation of biological objects that were intrinsically in a liquid environment, and thus transitioned into the lab-on-a-chip/microfluidics field. The vision was always to “communicate” with living systems at the micro- and nanoscale and in the process understand their functions and how they collectively contribute to how life works. The natural outcome was the understanding of how living systems can be repaired when “malfunction” occurs as a result of disease, injury or decay. Notable microfluidic technologies that were developed and pioneered in Lee’s Lab include magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) micropump, dielectrophoresis (DEP) for cell sorting, droplet microfluidics and cavity-bubble acoustic streaming transducers (CAST). More recently, Lee’s research interest can be generally regarded as microfluidic precision medicine and includes sorting and purification of stem cells, single cell analysis, hybrid particles for ultrasound-assisted drug delivery, point-of-care diagnostics, blood sample preparation, liquid biopsy and microfluidic devices for perfused vascular 3D tissue constructs. An emerging theme is microfluidic cell engineering for cell therapy, with two projects highlighting this area: development of artificial antigen-presenting cells and nonviral cell transfection microfluidic platforms that are high efficiency, high throughput and high viability, with uniform and controlled dosage delivery to each single cell of the population. We are currently working with collaborators on whole blood liquid biopsy of cancer patients by separating healthy WBCs, leukemic cells, CTCs and companion biomarkers. The holy grail is to be able to sample a patient’s drop of blood and quickly assess the treatment options in real-time.Integrated micro- and nano-fluidic chip processors for the manipulation and self-assembly of biomolecules and other synthesized nanoparticles.Faculty

In traditional biomechanics, the human body is viewed as an intricate collection of interacting mechanical structures and systems that exhibit both static and dynamic mechanical behaviors. These studies are usually confined to the level of the entire organisms, physiological subsystems, or individual organs. The rapid advances in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technologies offer a set of powerful tools that allows studying biomechanics at the micro scale. This will shed lights on the finer details of biomechanics, and may uncover fundamental knowledge of the origin of mechanical behaviors in living organisms. Dr. Tang is developing devices and platforms that enable both in-vitro and in-vivo studies of the mechanical aspects in physiological activities involving cells, tissues, and organs. They would be suitable for interfacing and interrogating the mechanical phenomena of interest within the targeted physiological activities at the length-scales that are beyond the reach of traditional biomedical instrumentations. His vision is that these devices and platforms will enable new research efforts to understand the significance of biomechanics at the most basic unit of life -- the cell. He also aims at enabling clinically-relevant applications that require accurate real-time data on the stress-strain distributions in the organs or physiological systems for investigation and diagnosis of the mechanical implications of health and diseases within the organs. One of the ultimate goals is to leverage the understanding in physiological phenomena researched with these tools to develop prosthetic devices to restore both sensory and motor functions that are mechanical in nature within the body.Microscale and nanoscale engineering for information technology and biomedical sciences.Faculty

Since biology has been enormously successful in assembling complex nanoscale systems, research in Wang's group couples the principles of self-assembly with nature-inspired macromolecular systems to engineer new materials and therapeutic strategies. The approach in Wang's research uses the detailed control that genetic engineering provides in defining the polymeric architecture of proteins, and unites this with synthetic strategies that broaden the scope of chemical functionality. This enables a better understanding of the relationship between molecular organization and material characteristics, which can then be used towards designing new material properties. The research group is currently investigating (1) the fabrication of inorganic nanoarrays using biological templates, (2) the design of nanoscale protein complexes for molecular transport of molecules, and (3) the development of novel biopolymers for drug delivery. These studies have relevance in technological areas that include pharmaceutics, tissue engineering, biosensors, and electronic and optical devices.Biomolecular engineering, Interfacial engineering, Drug delivery, Biomaterials, NanobiotechnologyFaculty

Dr. Wang's work emphasizes exploration on fundamentals of the physicochemical processes in advanced energy systems. His current research activities focus on the computational modeling and experimental diagnostics of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). He has proposed a comprehensive PEFC model fully coupling flow, transport, and electrochemical processes as well as including a detailed MEA (membrane electrode assembly) model. Another contribution of Dr. Wang is development of a 3D dynamic model which considers all the major transient processes occurring in a PEFC, such as gas transport, water accumulation in the membrane, and electrochemical double-layer discharge. His recent work investigated the microstructures of carbon papers and carbon clothes and proposed a structure-performance relationship of gas diffusion layers, which is one step toward developing a science-based framework for selection of materials for next-generation, high-performance gas diffusion media.Fuel cells, multiphase flows, computational modeling, dynamics， heat/mass transfer, energyFaculty

Example questions include, why do our theories deviate from data? How can we detect, diagnose, and resolve epistemic errors? How do we quantify uncertainty in models and data? How do we explain the emergent macroscopic behavior of complex systems by micro-scale governing equations? How should we extract information from data? Ultimately, Vrugt's group is trying to understand how complex systems work, operate, behave, calculate and respond to control inputs. The answer to these questions must lie partly in the emergence of a new modeling paradigm, wherein a system’s macroscopic behavior follows logically from microscopic "laws" and generalizations. Publications span the fields of agriculture (irrigation), biogeosciences, computational science, ecology, engineering, geomorphology, geophysics, hydrology, hydropower, soil science and statistics. Vrugt earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees (cum laude, 1999 and 2004, respectively) from the University of Amsterdam and has published more than 100 papers in the peer-reviewed literature. He has received accolades and research awards from many different scientific organizations.Faculty

His current activities include a study of constrained H-infinity optimal control for robust control design, wherein the research is aimed at extending constrained H-infinity optimization. One of the objectives of the project is to develop the constrained H-infinity optimal control framework so that structured model uncertainty is handled with reduced conservatism, enabling a more complete set of specifications to be addressed directly. Another objective is to obtain low-order constrained H-infinity optimal controllers. Dr. Sideris also is working toward neural network control for robotic manipulators. The goal of this project is to obtain improved control system performance in repetitive trajectory control tasks as the supporting neural network is being trained. Important considerations include on-line training of the neural networks and their ability to generalize. A novel neural network structure has been proposed and its properties are currently under investigation. In another project, Dr. Sideris is working toward the robust control of vehicle motion, taking into account the control of combined longitudinal and lateral motion of individual vehicles with partial state measurements, which are longitudinal and lateral deviations, longitudinal velocity and yaw rate. He and his group have developed an eighth-order nonlinear state-space model to describe the combined lateral and longitudinal vehicle motion, where both coupling terms arising from the velocities and from the controls are included.Control systems, neural networks.Faculty

The third and fourth devices are focused on the development of devices for diagnosis and treatment of otitis media. Other devices of interest include a novel combined vestibular and cochlear implant and a free standing vestibular implant. The second area of focus is on novel treatment of tinnitus. The lab has been working on a web-based customized sound and music therapy for the treatment of tinnitus. The work is based on the principle of harmonic therapy and its unique effect on the brain and the sources of tinnitus in the brain. This work has resulted in a technology transfer to Mind:Set Technologies which has commercialized this work in <a href="http://www.beyondtinnitus.com">http://www.beyondtinnitus.com</a> . Clinical trials of various tinnitus therapies are on-going. The third area of interest is in the analysis of large databases of health data. We are interested in examining trends, outcomes, and influencing factors in the treatment of diseases of the ear and skull base surgery by looking at databases of national and state samples. The fourth area of research is clinical outcomes research related to novel treatments of conditions such as chronic ear infections, tympanic membrane perforations, skull base surgery, cochlear implantation, sudden hearing loss, perilymph fistula, and vertigo. An area of interest is the genetics and novel treatments of Meniere’s disease and migraine related ear disease.

Another objective is to apply the translation of engineering innovations to clinical use, especially in terms of instruments and devices. The tissue of primary importance is articular cartilage. Successful cartilage regeneration continues to be the most vexing problem in musculoskeletal medicine. Following trauma (such as sports injuries) or pathologic affliction (such as osteoarthritis), cartilage is unable to heal itself in a way that would allow it to function properly under its strenuous and biomechanically difficult environment. Of particular interest in our efforts are 1) hyaline articular cartilage, found in diarthrodial joints such as the knee, hip and shoulder, 2) menisci, in the knee and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and 3) fibrocartilage in the TMJ. Athanasiou’s approach entails the use of the self-assembling process, which is a scaffold-free set of approaches toward engineering soft, hydrated tissues.

Our group aims to reduce the environmental impacts of combustion processes, with a focus on the emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and trace metals, i.e., mercury, arsenic, and selenium. Our goal is to reduce pollutant emissions from stationary and mobile sources by developing novel materials while trying to understand the combustion chemistry at a fundamental level. Our lab is equipped with bench-scale experimental systems to elucidate the flame chemistry and combustion kinetics as well as the pollutant formation. We also employ electronic structure calculations to develop kinetic models and investigate surface interactions. The molecular modeling predictions are validated employing spectroscopic techniques to understand the surface chemistry. Areas of application include oxy-fuel combustion, chemical looping combustion, natural gas and high hydrogen content fuel combustion in gas turbines, compressed natural gas engines, automobile exhaust emissions, catalytic burners, selective catalytic reduction and mercury control technologies.Faculty

His predoctoral research was supported by an NIH/NHLBI F-31 and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Additionally, he was named a Siebel Scholar in 2017. After completing his doctorate, he trained as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Hanna Gray Postdoctoral Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He will join the faculty as an assistant professor in spring 2021.<h4>Research in Lay Terms</h4> Miniaturization technologies from the electronics industry enable engineers to build models of human physiology. In particular, these technologies permit the control of interactions between individual cells and their physical microenvironment as well as spatial information such as gradation in chemical signals. Coupling these powerful tools with stem cell and organoid technology allows precise re-creation of a tissue’s natural environment in the body. Smith’s lab will leverage these organ-on-chip model systems to uncover new biology as it pertains to human development as well as studying how organs maintain homeostasis, become diseased and regenerate. <h4>Research Focus</h4> The field of tissue engineering is rapidly evolving. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have begun to address the limitations of cell sourcing. The biophysical and chemical complexity of human tissues can be mimicked with synthetic materials and engineered microdevices. The marriage of these technologies enables the controlled administration of developmental cues for the study of stem cell differentiation behavior. Additionally, implantation of these immunologically competent cells within engineered extracellular matrices can act in concert to augment or replace diseased tissue in vivo. Given the strength of these platforms, my lab will focus on bridging the gap between fundamental stem cell biology and clinical applicability of hiPSC derived cellular therapies. In particular, my lab will (1) focus on distilling the complexity of early human development to controllable factors, which allow computational modeling of early fate specification. (2) Next, my group will focus on creating synthetic biomaterials that support the differentiation and expansion of stem cell-derived organoids. (3) Finally, with microfluidic and bio-printing mediated assembly, my team will build small and large-scale vascularized tissues from single donor iPSCs for regenerative medicine applications.Faculty
