Tue 21 Oct 16:00: Intelligent Mobile Systems for an Aging World
By 2050, older adults will make up about 22% of the global population, driving an urgent need for accessible and reliable health technologies. In this talk, I will present our work on intelligent mobile systems designed for older adults. The first leverages compact AI-enabled radios for cardiovascular monitoring, including blood pressure. The second is an ambient sensing system that uses smart devices to detect emergent, life-threatening events such as cardiac arrest. The third enables low-cost health screening using everyday earphones and wireless earbuds. Through these examples, I will show how computational and sensing techniques that generalize across hardware and operate in real-world environments can address pressing societal challenges.
Bio Justin is an assistant professor in CS and ECE at Carnegie Mellon University, where he directs the Semantic Signals Lab. His work focuses on AI-enabled digital health systems with a focus on wireless and mobile technologies. His innovations include using smartphone sensors for blood clot testing, training smart speakers to detect cardiac arrests, wireless earbuds that screen for newborn hearing loss, and detection of middle ear fluid using active sonar on smartphones and a paper cone. He earned his PhD at the University of Washington and his work has been recognized by CACM and SIGMOBILE Research Highlights, SIGMOBILE Doctoral Dissertation Award Runner Up, and a IEEE Pervasive Computing Emerging Rockstar feature.

Wed 24 Sep 13:00: Large Language Models and Graph Neural Networks for Intelligent Manufacturing Systems
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond domain-specific tasks toward systems that integrate perception, reasoning, and action across modalities. In this talk, I present recent work on hybrid AI frameworks that combine graph neural networks, knowledge graphs, and large language models to strengthen reasoning and interpretability. Building on these foundations, I will discuss advances in multi-modal fusion and embodied intelligence, with case studies in robotics and manufacturing, including decision-making for reconfigurable systems and runtime adaptability. These results demonstrate how combining symbolic structure with neural flexibility enables more autonomous and resilient AI for complex industrial environments.

Wed 24 Sep 15:30: Persistent warming and reduced freshening of the abyssal Southern Ocean. - Kathy Gunn
Recent observations reveal that Antarctic Bottom Water is thinning, warming, freshening, and spreading more slowly northward into the abyssal ocean. Using the most-up-to-date historical data (1985-2024) alongside simulations out to 2050, I review and assess abyssal ocean changes that are ongoing and projected. Between 1985-2024, isopycnals below 3000 m have descended at a rate of -95±5 m/decade, and have been replaced by warmer water, resulting in warming of 0.02±0.02 °C/decade. Freshening of -0.002±0.003 g/kg/decade also occurred, due to meltwater-driven changes in the continental shelf waters. Projections, in line with the latest observations, suggest thinning and warming will persist in response to continued glacial melt. However, freshening slows and even reverses. Meltwater makes shelf waters too light to reach the deep ocean, weakens the shelf-to-abyss connection, alters long-standing trends, and doubles the deep ocean contribution to Southern Ocean sea level rise.

Mon 06 Oct 14:00: Aspects of the long-time behavior of ideal fluids
We will discuss various results related to the long-time behavior of inviscid fluids. We will start with a discussion of steady and traveling wave solutions. We will then discuss results related to small scale creation, filamentation, and mixing. We will do this based on joint works with many co-authors.
