SUMMARY:Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition \nSpeaker: Sarah Kurtz\, Professor\, School of Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) Sciences\, UC Merced \nBio: Sarah Kurtz obtained her Ph.D. in 1985 from Harvard University and now works at the University of California Merced after more than 30 years working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, in Golden\, CO. She is known for her contributions to developing multijunction\, GaInP/GaAs solar cells\, supporting the Concentrator Photovoltaic (PV) industry\, and leading efforts on PV performance and reliability. Her work has been recognized with a jointly received Dan David Prize in 2007\, the Cherry Award in 2012\, C3E Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016\, and induction into the National Academy of Engineering in 2020. At the University of California Merced\, she is working both to help the university grow and to support the Energy Transition through a variety of studies\, including a current effort on long-duration storage. \nAbstract: Photovoltaic solar electricity has grown much faster than was expected. Continuation of the historical growth rate would enable solar to generate as much electricity as the entire world uses by ~ 2030. California\, in particular\, has taken a leading role; 19% of electricity generated in 2018 in the state of California was from solar energy. However\, growth of solar is now slowing\, both worldwide and in California. As the state of California and many others around the world seek to move away from fossil fuels to a zero-carbon energy system\, it will be critical to maintain the momentum. Positive feedback has been helpful in the growth of solar so far. This talk will discuss how positive feedback loops can help accelerate the energy transition by taking a balanced approach. The talk will also discuss how choices we make in designing our new energy system can reduce or increase the size of the problem. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown \nSpeaker: Rachel Kuperman\, Founder & CEO\, Eysz Lab \nBio: Rachel Kuperman\, MD is the CEO and co-founder of Eysz\, an early stage startup developing a real-time\, machine-learning based remote monitoring solution to reliably detect seizures associated with loss of consciousness. Rachel co-founded Eysz to address the significant unmet need for identifying seizures outside of the hospital. The company spun out of her research showing that eye movement analysis can be used to detect seizures. The company has been recognized by the Epilepsy Foundation\, IEEE/NIH\, and most recently by the International Society for Optics and Photonics. Prior to co-founding Eysz\, Rachel ran the Pediatric Epilepsy Program and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland for 10 years. She attended UCSF Medical School\, completed Child Neurology Fellowship at Columbia\, and then then completed at Epilepsy Fellowship at UCSF. \nAbstract: Neuroscience has made tremendous leaps and bounds in the last three decades. Sadly\, the outcomes for people with epilepsy have not changed significantly with costs more than tripling to 28 billion dollars per year. Why the big divide between research and clinical care? We will explore the barriers to translation and adoption of new technologies in the clinic. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Blockchain for the Public Good Panel
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Blockchain for the Public Good Panel \nSpeaker(s): Panelists include Brian Behlendorf (Executive Director\, Hyperledger)\, Ben Bartlett (Partner\, Tackett Bartlett LLP)\, and Michele Benedetto Neitz (Professor of Law\, Golden Gate University School of Law). Moderated by Camille Crittenden\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director of CITRIS and the Banatao Institute. \nAbstract: Blockchain technology has gained notoriety over the past decade as a platform for cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin\, which has been used for illicit exchange of weapons and drugs\, as well as paying off hackers whose ransomware holds computer systems hostage. At the same time\, researchers and developers have been exploring the use of blockchain and the broader domain of distributed ledger technology for more beneficial applications\, such as in healthcare\, education\, property title\, and public finance. \nCalifornia lawmakers commissioned a task force in 2019 to study the potential of blockchain for public sector applications by creating the Blockchain Working Group. The 20-member group\, including those speaking today\, comprised experts in computer science\, cybersecurity\, information technology\, law\, and policy. We were charged with drafting a working definition of blockchain\, providing advice to State offices and agencies considering blockchain platforms\, and offering guidance to policymakers to foster an open and equitable regulatory environment for the technology in California. \nThis talk will draw on the panelists’ expertise in the fundamental computer science and security concerns of blockchain\, its applications for public finance\, and ethical considerations of its development. We will also discuss the experience of working with a broad group of stakeholders to create a roadmap for policymakers\, CIOs\, and other leaders considering blockchain solutions for public sector applications. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Tracking the Few and Far Between: Computational Strategies to Speed the Discovery of Low-frequency Genomic Variation in COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The Colloquium on Digital Transformation is a series of weekly online talks on how artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, and big data can lead to scientific breakthroughs with large-scale societal benefit. The fall series focuses on COVID-19 mitigation research. \nSee details of upcoming and past talks at https://c3dti.ai/events/colloquium. \nUpcoming Events: \n\nNov 19\, 2020 01:00 PM\nNov 26\, 2020 01:00 PM\nDec 3\, 2020 01:00 PM\nDec 10\, 2020 01:00 PM\n\nTracking the Few and Far Between: Computational Strategies to Speed the Discovery of Low-frequency Genomic Variation in COVID-19\nDate: November 19\, 1 pm PT/4 pm ET\nSpeaker: Nancy Amato\, Head of the Department of Computer Science and Abel Bliss Professor of Engineering\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign \nTo date\, the vast majority of COVID-19 genomic research has been focused on a high-level view of SARS-CoV-2 diversity\, overlooking the diversity of the viral population that exists within each COVID-19 positive patient. While viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in an individual can exceed hundreds of thousands of copies\, available genomic databases only contain a single consensus version of this diverse population\, discarding any low-frequency mutations. The goal of our project\, CoVariants\, is to develop novel computational approaches to recover these discarded variants and allow for rapid characterization of within-host diversity of SARS-CoV-2 across tens of thousands of samples. Commonly used computational tools either are not designed for the detection of low-frequency variants within viral populations\, or require significant computational resources per sample. In this talk\, we will describe how new parallelization strategies and approximate statistical methods can reduce the computational requirements of a widely used existing approach by up to 400 percent while preserving 100 percent of the low-frequency genomic diversity. We will end our talk by highlighting how we plan to use these improved computational methods to provide insight into the biological underpinnings of SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility and severity compared to other coronaviruses. \nNancy M. Amato is Abel Bliss Professor and Department Head of Computer Science at the University of Illinois. She received undergraduate degrees in Mathematical Sciences and Economics from Stanford\, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from UC Berkeley and the University of Illinois\, respectively.

SUMMARY:Picture a STEMinist: Coded Bias
DESCRIPTION:Coded Bias\nLivestream Conversation\nMeredith Broussard\, danah boyd\, Valerie E. Taylor\, Seyi Olojo\, and Eden McEwen\nThursday\, November 19\, 6 PM PST\nMore information > \n“A deep dive into the ways algorithms repeat and reinforce the unconscious prejudices of their original programmers.”\n– STEPHANIE BUNBURY\, THE AGE \nJoin us for a live conversation and Q&A with data journalist Meredith Broussard\, associate professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University and the author of Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World; danah boyd\, principal researcher at Microsoft Research\, founder of Data & Society\, and visiting professor at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program; Valerie E. Taylor\, director of the Mathematics and Computer Science Division and distinguished fellow at Argonne National Laboratory; and Seyi Olojo\, PhD candidate at the UC Berkeley School of Information. Moderated by Eden McEwen\, a physics and computer science major at UC Berkeley and a contributor to the student organization STEMinist Chronicles. Access is included with rental of the streaming film program; you will receive an access link via email prior to the event. \n“The revolutionary research of scientist\, artist\, and activist Joy Buolamwini proved that the accuracy of commercially available facial recognition software from the likes of Microsoft\, IBM\, and Amazon declined as soon as it was applied to anyone not male and white. Centering on Buolamwini’s work\, Coded Bias explores how the fallibility of artificial intelligence due to the implicit bias of its creators can have damaging real-world consequences. In conversation with Buolamwini and other scientists and activists\, including mathematician Cathy O’Neil and Big Brother Watch director Silkie Carlo\, the documentary shows how the widespread adoption of machine learning and automated decision making in financial services\, human resources\, voter registration\, and law enforcement makes the racial and gender bias embedded in artificial intelligence an urgent civil rights issue.” – Kate MacKay \n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Dialogue4Health: Telehealth Policy Update - Changes for 2021
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has driven unprecedented innovation and adoption of telehealth over the past year. Telehealth has increased healthcare access to those around the world\, especially in remote communities\, those with transportation challenges\, as well as individuals who experience limited physical mobility\, chronic illness\, or mental illness. Due to the pandemic and subsequent waivers in regulations and payment\, telehealth appointments skyrocketed in 2020. Temporary policies\, such as Medicare waivers\, were introduced at the beginning of the pandemic to encourage individuals\, with an emphasis on those at higher risk of contracting the virus\, to stay home and turn to telephone or video medical appointments or utilizing remote monitoring devices to help manage chronic illnesses. \nThe evolving challenges of providing remote point of care support for vulnerable populations through telehealth and telemedicine is a global challenge\, requiring changes in care practice\, innovations in the use of technology\, advances in clinician/patient communications\, and rapid change in reimbursement\, regulatory\, and work force processes. This final Web Forum\, presented by Mei Kwong of the Center for Connected Health Policy and Julie Bates of AARP California\, will highlight the promising opportunity and incentive to advance telehealth\, ultimately transforming health care as we know it\, both domestically as well as internationally. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values with Brian Christian
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values \nSPEAKER: Brian Christian\, author and visiting scholar at UC Berkeley \nABSTRACT: With the incredible growth of machine learning (ML) over recent years has come an increasing concern about whether ML systems’ objectives truly capture their human designers’ intent: the so-called “alignment problem.” Over the last five years\, these questions of both ethics and safety have moved from the margins of the field to become arguably its most central concerns. The result is something of a movement: a vibrant\, multifaceted\, interdisciplinary effort to address the alignment problem head-on\, which is producing some of the most exciting research happening today. Brian Christian\, visiting scholar at CITRIS and author of the acclaimed bestsellers “The Most Human Human” and “Algorithms to Live By\,” will survey this landscape of recent progress and the frontier of open questions that remain. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Brian Christian is the author of the acclaimed bestsellers\, “The Most Human Human” and “Algorithms to Live By” (with Tom Griffiths)\, which have been translated into nineteen languages. A visiting scholar at the CITRIS Policy Lab\, the Scientific Communicator in Residence at the Simons Institute\, and an Affiliate of the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence\, he lives in San Francisco. \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:Using exhaled breath to diagnose COVID-19 with Cristina Davis
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: Using exhaled breath to diagnose COVID-19 with Cristina Davis \nSPEAKER: Cristina Davis\, Professor and Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\, UC Davis \nABSTRACT: The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic is still truly unknown due to the unavailability of SARS-CoV-2 tests. The development of new types of diagnostics will greatly increase the global testing capacity. Additionally\, there are no methods available to track an individual’s health during COVID-19 infections outside of a clinical setting that could be predictive of prognosis\, such warning if mild cases are turning severe and require clinical intervention. \nOur research team has been developing rapid\, non-invasive diagnostic platforms for pulmonary viral infections through analysis of a person’s exhaled breath. Exhaled breath contains thousands of metabolites that not only provide diagnostic capabilities but also can be used to assess pulmonary health\, tracking disease progression and severity with samples that can be collected at home. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Dr. Davis is the Warren & Leta Geidt Endowed Professor and Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UC Davis. She is an Associate Director of the UCD NIH-funded NCATS center on translational medicine. Her research focuses on mini analytical sensors for mobile chemical detection for biomedical monitoring and surveillance for precision medicine. She served as a Member of the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) for the United States Air Force (2014-2018)\, a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE)\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and National Academy of Inventors (NAI)\, and Co-Founder and Scientific Advisor to a UCD affiliated start-up based on her research.
