Research work on design and development of automatic diagnostic tools using AI and deep learning architectures. Some contemporary relevant problems related to environmental pollution and effect of Electro-magnetic radiation on health were presented where AI methods are used.

IEEE Webinar on Flexible Bioelectronics for Healthcare and the Environment 2021

Health has been historically one of the biggest motivator of academic research and the current pandemic has put even more importance on how health monitoring and diagnostics should be worked upon aggressively to create a better and safer world for us tomorrow. The focus here is on flexible bioelectronics where the speaker, Prof. Sameer Sonkusale, lays emphasis on smart threads that can be used for variety of sensing and electronic applications. This new technology makes it possible to create innovations in the field of wearable and implantable sensors for healthcare application, further strengthening our efforts and resolve as researchers to make the healthcare better.

IEEE Webinar on Engineering and Measurement of Thermal Radiation 2021

Temperature profile of volumetric objects has been a  challenge for researchers as it is difficult to develop non invasive ways to do volumetric temperature measurements. In this regard thermal emission measurement in the infrared range have become a viable option. Prof. Mikhail A Kats, from University of Wisconsin Madison draws attention to thermal radiation, as recent advances in technology has encouraged more exploration in this field with a new perspective. He discussed innovations in the measurement of thermal radiation technology and the resultant new application areas that stem out of such development.

IEEE Webinar on Quantum Sensing in Solid-State Systems 2021

Quantum technology is quickly gaining mainstream weightage and changing the technical landscape around us. The field of sensing is not far behind when it comes to being affected by it. Conventional MEMS although a highly reliable and well understood technology, is still limited by sensitivity and precision that we may need for time and displacement measurements. Quantum sensing provides a great solution in this regard. Prof. Choy's research group focuses on the characterisation and development of quantum systems for sensing and metrology, they are interested in applying techniques in nanoscale optics and photonics to enable better understanding and control of quantum properties, and improve device performance and utility. She describes the realization of quantum sensors in two materials platforms: cooled neutral atoms and artificial atoms found in wideband semiconductors and also illustrates the benefits and challenges in such technology through case study of her own research.

IEEE Webinar on Non-invasive Brain Perfusion Monitoring using Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy 2021

Continuous monitoring of brain physiology and in particular of brain perfusion is needed to improve outcomes for patients in critical care and those undergoing major surgical procedures under anaesthesia. However, none of the methods currently in clinical use can provide such long-term continuous monitoring non-invasively. In this context, diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is increasingly being used in clinical research as a non-invasive method to monitor cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the operating room at the bedside. Similarly, to near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), DCS uses red or near-infrared light to probe the displacement of tissue scatterers, dynamics principally driven by the motion of red blood cells in microvasculature. He reviews technological advancements seeking to improve signal fidelity and sensitivity to brain blood flow, as well as present some of our current projects employing this technology in animal models and in patients.

IEEE Webinar on Pharmacokinetic Tomography with Coherent Raman Scattering 2021

Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) imaging tools provide a label-free means to visualize specific molecules within tissue, making CRS methods well suited for solving challenges in drug development. Dr. Conor L. Evans presents their research efforts to leverage CRS tools to not only visualize the uptake of drugs within skin tissue, but also precisely quantify both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. They leverage deep learning methods, specifically the use of convoluted neural networks, for accurate feature extraction to measure pharmacokinetics across numerous different skin compartments. Using single and multicomponent compartment models, it can analyze the CRS-derived data to calculate traditional PK parameters such as Tmax and Cmax on both the micro- and macroscale. These approaches have been validated and now tested on multiple drugs in a range of formulations, demonstrating how CRS imaging tools can reveal new, previously-inaccessible PK and PD information. The research seeks to link the microscale information gained via CRS microscopy to the macroscale measurements made in traditional PK/PD labs to understand drug flow, the impact of structure and formulation on diffusion, and how these parameters relate to drug efficacy.
