SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Holly Jimison on Health Interventions
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Holly Jimison \nTalk title: “Informatics Advances for Personalized Health Interventions” \nSpeaker: Director\, Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care\, Northeastern University; Visiting Professor\, UC Davis \nRegister to Attend >  \n \nSpeaker bio: Holly B. Jimison is the Director of the Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care at Northeastern University and on the faculty in both the College of Computer & Information Science and the College of Health Sciences. She leads a multidisciplinary\, multi-institutional effort to facilitate research in the area of home monitoring of health behaviors\, including helping researchers address the challenges of big data related to large amounts of complex and noisy streaming data from multiple sources used to infer clinically relevant health behaviors. Her current research projects are focused on technology approaches to support healthy aging. Dr. Jimison is also currently serving as Visiting Professor at UC Davis working on the Healthy Aging in a Digital World Initiative. \nAbstract: Health behaviors account for the most significant influence on overall health outcomes and healthcare costs\, far outpacing genetic effects or the influence of access to medical care. As we move from an era of “reactive” medicine that is hospital and clinic-based toward more holistic and proactive care focused on the management of chronic conditions and prevention\, informatics advances are needed to model patient state in real-time to deliver tailored just-in-time health interventions to the home. In this presentation\, I will describe AI techniques for inferring patient state in real-time from streaming sensor data and mobile interactions\, as well as a health coaching infrastructure for delivering tailored motivational and feedback mobile messaging. This architecture incorporates representations of user preferences\, motivations\, and barriers to change to enable the incorporation of known principles of health behavior change. Based on our needs assessment of stakeholders (elders\, family caregivers\, clinicians\, service providers\, researchers\, government\, and industry)\, we have focused on a design to facilitate the participation of family members and low-skilled caregivers as part of the care team. Our tested applications for this technology have ranged from interactive video exercise\, socialization\, and stress management to cognitive monitoring and cognitive health interventions. Bringing tailored and coordinated care interventions to the home offer a scalable and potentially cost-effective approach to improving health and quality of life for a growing population of individuals with chronic disease and conditions associated with aging. \nAbout the series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, this series highlights leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Each seminar takes place on Wednesdays from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm PT.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Crystal Kolden on Fire Science
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “How Do We Stop Wildfire Disasters? A Complex Systems Perspective” \nSpeaker: Crystal Kolden\, Assistant Professor of Fire Science\, UC Merced \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Wildfires are a complex physical process that occurs both naturally and at the hands of humans. Fires are necessary to support many ecosystems and cultures\, but are producing increasingly disastrous human outcomes globally\, and particularly in the western United States. While engineering and technological advances have substantially mitigated other types of natural disasters over decades\, there is a considerable lag in this arena for wildfire\, which is a product of how fire has been historically viewed in the U.S. This presentation reviews both why the frameworks applied to disaster mitigation have been overlooked with respect to wildfire and also the state of the science regarding common misconceptions about wildfire mitigation. Also highlighted are key areas where engineering\, technology and data sciences could produce substantial and rapid advances in mitigating wildfire disasters. Suggestions are offered for the development of near-term research in wildfire mitigation and adaption\, particularly through replication\, amplification and expansion of natural biological solutions. \nSpeaker Bio: Crystal Kolden is a pyrogeographer with over two decades of experience in fire science. After beginning her career as a wildland firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service in California\, she earned graduate degrees in geography focused on remote sensing of wildfires. She has spent the last 15 years trying to understand the causes of and identify solutions to rapidly increasing wildfire disasters. Kolden conducts research on wildfire disaster mitigation and works with communities and agencies globally to develop and implement adaptation strategies. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk?

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Misha Pavel on Digital Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Dynamic Systems Modeling of Humans to Optimize Digital Health Care” \nSpeaker: Misha Pavel\, Professor of Practice in Computer Sciences and Health Sciences at Northeastern University; Visiting Professor in the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing\, UC Davis \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: The vision of transforming health care from reactive sick care to proactive health care requires new approaches to the assessment of individuals’ physical\, physiological and mental states and their dynamics. Emerging advances in sensing\, computation and communication technology have the potential to enable intensive longitudinal monitoring\, assessment and prediction to close the loop by optimizing early detection and tailored intervention. This presentation will discuss examples of robust computational modeling and predicting individuals’ behaviors combining machine learning\, hybrid dynamic systems and statistical signal processing with psychological knowledge. These include inferences of cognitive functionality from computer interactions and games that can be used for early detection of changes in cognitive function\, and approaches to inferences of stress levels from physiological measurements. In addition\, a principled approach using intensive longitudinal health behavior monitoring to help individuals to increase their physical activity and engagement is described. This approach also provides transparent explanations of the inferences and recommendations. \nSpeaker Bio: Misha Pavel holds a joint faculty appointment in Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences and Bouvé College of Health Sciences and visiting faculty at UC Davis. His background comprises electrical engineering\, computer science and experimental psychology. His research includes multiscale dynamic computational modeling of behaviors and psychological states\, with applications ranging from elder care to augmentation of human performance. Pavel uses these model-based approaches to develop algorithms transforming unobtrusive monitoring from smart homes and mobile devices to practical and actionable knowledge for diagnosis and intervention. Under the auspices of the Northeastern-based Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care\, Pavel and his colleagues target technological innovations to support the development of economically feasible\, proactive\, distributed and individual-centered health care. In addition\, Pavel is investigating approaches to inferring and augmenting human cognition using computer games\, EEG\, gait characteristics\, and transcranial electrical stimulation. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Richard L. Corsi on Indoor Air Quality
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Pandemic Engineering: Accessible Tools for Lowering Risk and Spread of Infection” \nSpeaker: Richard Corsi\, Dean of the College of Engineering\, UC Davis \nRegister to Attend  \nAbstract: COVID-19 is an airborne infectious disease. As such\, far more attention should be paid to reducing the inhalation dose of virus-laden aerosol particles in both the near field (close contact) and far field (shared indoor air). This presentation will provide background on the infector-to=receptor pathway for transmission of COVID-19\, and engineering approaches to disrupt transmission by reducing the inhaled dose of respiratory aerosols. Particular attention will be paid to the development of technologies that are more accessible to those without the resources needed to reduce infections in their own families\, schools and general communities. The Corsi-Rosenthal box will be discussed as an example of a highly effective and relatively low-cost do-it-yourself air cleaner that is gaining popularity in North America and beyond. \nSpeaker Bio: Richard L. Corsi is dean of engineering at the University of California\, Davis. He spent most of his career at the University of Texas as faculty member\, department chair and endowed research chair in the Department of Civil\, Architectural\, and Environmental Engineering\, and as a member of the institution’s prestigious Academy of Distinguished Teachers. Corsi is an internationally recognized expert in the field of indoor air quality\, with a specific interest in physical and chemical interactions between pollutants and indoor materials. During the pandemic\, he has delivered numerous national webinars on layered risk reduction to reduce the spread of COVID-19\, completed modeling to underscore scenarios of high risk\, developed educational tools for school districts\, and conceptualized a highly effective new air cleaner for respiratory aerosols that has become known as the Corsi-Rosenthal Box. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk?

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Alison Post on Open Government Platforms for Transit
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “When Do Local Governments Use Tech To Improve Transparency? The Case of California Transit” \nSpeaker: Alison Post\, Associate Professor\, Political Science and Global Metropolitan Studies\, UC Berkeley \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Transparency reforms instituting sunshine laws and open public meetings have been actively promoted in recent decades as means of keeping elected officials and bureaucrats more accountable to the public. Advances in communication technologies have enabled a new generation of such transparency-enhancing reforms and practices — including open data portals\, posting program information online and security alert systems. Under what circumstances do local governments adopt such technologies? This talk investigates this question by examining patterns of adoption and utilization of one technology — online scheduling information for public transit — for a comprehensive set of local transit providers in California\, drawing on original\, webscraped data. \n \nSpeaker Bio: Alison Post holds the Travers Family Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Chair of Political Science and is associate professor of global metropolitan studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her research examines urban politics and policy and other political economy themes\, including public service delivery\, regulation and business-government relations. She also collaborates with engineers\, urban planners and scholars of public health on research on infrastructure management and “smart city” technology adoption. She works principally in Latin America\, and recently in India and the United States as well. She is a former president of the Urban and Local Politics Section of the American Political Science Association and former co-director of the global metropolitan studies program at UC Berkeley\, and currently chair of the steering committee for the Red de Economía Política de America Latina (Repal). \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk?

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Ricardo de Castro on Sustainable Agtech
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Electric Propulsion in Agriculture Vehicles: Opportunities and Challenges” \nSpeaker:  Ricardo de Castro\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\, UC Merced \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Off-road vehicles\, such as tractors\, are crucial to a wide range of farming tasks\, including tillage and harvesting. Almost all self-propelled agricultural equipment relies on diesel engines\, a main source of smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other greenhouse gases. According to the California Air Resources Board\, off-road vehicles are on track to surpass road transportation as the state’s largest source of NOx emissions by 2022. This is particularly problematic in the San Joaquin Valley\, where more than 50 percent of California’s agriculture equipment is used. There is a critical need to decarbonize agriculture and promote sustainable\, clean agricultural vehicles. Electrification of tractors is the long-term solution. California aims to transition all off-road vehicles to zero-emission propulsion by 2035 and adopt stricter air pollution regulations for this sector. This talk will focus on the transition from today’s diesel-dominated machines to tomorrow’s zero-emission tractors. \nSpeaker Bio: Ricardo de Castro received licenciatura and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computers engineering from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto in Portugal in 2006 and 2013\, respectively. During 2007–08 he was an entrepreneur with the WeMoveU project\, targeting the development of powertrain control solutions for lightweight electric vehicles. From 2013–20\, he was with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of System Dynamics and Control (SR)\, where he developed enabling technologies for electric mobility and automated driving. In 2021\, he joined the University of California\, Merced\, as an assistant professor. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Spencer Castro on Human-machine Systems
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “The Multitasking Motorist: Interactions With Technology” \nSpeaker: Spencer Castro\, Assistant Professor\, Management of Complex Systems\, UC Merced \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Safety concerning human performance in complex multitask environments relies heavily upon the fundamental psychological principles of limited-capacity attention and top-down mechanisms of attention allocation. To develop a suitable model for distraction and safety with automobiles\, Spencer Castro’s team at UC Merced implements converging measures from established physiological\, behavioral and subjective proxies for effort in realistic goal-directed settings. In this talk\, Castro presents interesting examples of measuring\, modeling and attempting to predict effort in the lab\, in simulations and in automobiles on the road. The work measures fluctuations in cognitive workload for various manipulations of multitasking\, including instruction-induced task priority and intermittent secondary task cues. The results indicate that multiple parameters are necessary to capture variations in processing priority for people and machines\, with strong implications for safety. The most robust finding suggests that — contrary to strictly resource-limited theories of attention — strategic allocation of resources can drive performance more than a slowing in the rate of information processing. \nSpeaker Bio: Spencer Castro is an assistant professor in the Department of Management of Complex Systems at the University of California\, Merced. His research encompasses workload measurement and modeling in human-machine systems\, especially within human-computer interaction\, driving\, automation\, and data visualization and manipulation. He received his B.S. in science\, technology and society from Stanford University in 2011\, an M.S. in psychology from UC Santa Cruz in 2015\, and a Ph.D. in psychology in 2019 from the University of Utah. Castro received a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship\, or GRFP\, in 2015 to study mobile device interactions while multitasking. In 2019\, he received a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Utah to model real-time cognitive workload fluctuations in applied settings. These settings included conversations while driving and monitoring autonomous aerial vehicles. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders.
