V John Mathews

(Professor, Oregon State University , USA)

Bio: V John Mathews is a professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Oregon State University. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa in 1984 and 1981, respectively, and the B.E. (Hons.) degree in electronics and communication engineering from the Regional Engineering College (now National Institute of Technology), Tiruchirappalli, India in 1980. Prior to 2015, he was with the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Utah. He served as the chairman of the ECE department at Utah from 1999 to 2003, and as the head of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State from 2015 to 2017. His current research interests are in nonlinear and adaptive signal processing and application of signal processing and machine learning techniques in neural engineering, biomedicine, and structural health management. Mathews is a Fellow of IEEE. He has served in many leadership positions of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He is a recipient of the 2008-09 Distinguished Alumni Award from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, India, IEEE Utah Section’s Engineer of the Year Award in 2010, and the Utah Engineers Council’s Engineer of the Year Award in 2011. He was a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society for 2013 and 2014 and is the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Signal Processing Society Meritorious Service Award.

Title for Talk : Intuitive Control of Bionic Limbs for Amputees and People with Spinal Cord Injuries

Abstract: Recent technological innovations such as functional neuro-muscular stimulation (FNS) offer considerable benefits to paralyzed individuals. FNS can produce movement in paralyzed muscles by the application of electrical stimuli to the nerves innervating the muscles. The first part of this talk will describe how smooth muscle movements that track desired movements can be evoked using electrical stimulation via electrode arrays inserted into peripheral nerves. Animal experiments demonstrating the feasibility of the method will be described. The second part of this talk will describe efforts to interpret human motor intent from bioelectrical signals. Machine learning algorithms for accomplishing this objective will be presented. The decoded information can then be used to intuitively evoke desired movements of paralyzed muscles or control prosthetic devices in patients with limb loss, i.e., movements of the bionic limbs can be evoked by the users’ mind. Results of experiments involving human amputee subjects will be described and discussed.


Robert Hiromoto

(Professor , University of Idaho, USA)

Bio: Robert Hiromoto is a Professor and former Department Chair in Computer Science Department at the University of Idaho (UI). His research focus is in the areas of computational algorithms and the design of wireless communication protocols. Dr. Hiromoto has had extensive experience in high-performance and parallel computing. His most recent work has been on parallel graphics rendering architectures, a set theoretic estimation approach to decryption, and the design of UAV communication protocols. Dr. Hiromoto was formerly a professor of computer science at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), and a staff member for more than 12 years in the Computer Research group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.(Based on document published on 15 April 2010).


Garrison W. Cottrell

(Professor, University of California, San Diego, USA)

Bio : Dr. Cottrell is a Professor in the Computer Science & Engineering Department at UCSD.  He is a member of the AI Group at UCSD. His research group, Gary’s Unbelievable Research Unit, publishes unbelievable research. Our research is strongly interdisciplinary. It concerns using neural networks and other computational models applied to problems in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, engineering and biology. He has had success using them for such disparate tasks as modeling how children acquire words, studying how lobsters chew, and nonlinear data compression. Most recently he worked on face and object recognition, visual salience and visual attention, and modeling early visual cortex.


Chandra Krintz
Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA)

Bio: Chandra Krintz is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and co-founder and Chief Scientist of AppScale Systems, Inc. She joined the UCSB faculty in 2001 after receiving her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Chandra has led a number of different research projects that have advanced the state-of-the-art in programming and distributed systems in ways that improve performance and energy consumption, and that ease development and deployment of software. Recently, her work has focused on the intersection of IoT, edge and cloud computing, and data analytics with applications in farming, ranching, and conservation science (cf SmartFarm and WTB). Chandra has advised over 70 undergraduate and graduate students, has published numerous research articles regarding the implementation of programming languages in venues that include DEBS, SEC, ASPLOS, IoTDI, WWW, HotCloud, Cloud, PLDI, TPDS, OOPSLA, IC2E, and others, participates in efforts to broaden participation in computing, and is the progenitor of the AppScale project. Chandra’s efforts have been recognized with a NSF CAREER award, the CRA-W Anita Borg Early Career Award (BECA), the UCSB Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award, and as the 2015 UCSB Sustainability Champion. Chandra is an IEEE and ACM senior member, has served as a member-at-large and vice chair of the ACM SIGPLAN Executive Committee, and serves as an associate editor of IEEE TCC and TPDS. She is currently the Computer Science Vice Chair of Graduate Affairs and served as the Vice Chair of Undergraduate Affairs from 2014 to 2017.
