FW: Postdoc position
by Turner, Jaime J 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Postdoctoral position in optical super-resolution microscopy Postdoctoral positions are available at the optical super-resolution microscopy lab, directed by Dr. Fang Huang at Purdue University, Biomedical Engineering Department. The candidates are expected to spearhead innovations related to one of the two areas of research focus: 1. Fluorescence nanoscopy through tissue specimens. We develop novel imaging instruments and analytical methods to visualize intra- and extra-cellular structures at the nanoscale in thick specimens such as tissues or small animals. In the past, the team developed novel Adaptive Optics and PSF engineering methods to super-resolve brain sections (Nature Methods, 15, 583-586, 2018), deep learning framework for multiplexed single molecule analysis (Nature Methods, 15, 913-916, 2018) and INSPR (in situ PSF retrieval) technology to expand applicability of super-resolution imaging system from cells to tissues (Nature Methods, 17, 531-540, 2020). 2. Molecular resolution imaging of live cells. We seek to develop unconventional ultra-high resolution systems that synergistically combines ideas from engineering and physics such as interferometric/4Pi single molecule detection (Cell, 166, 4, 1028-1040, 2016), applied statistics (Nature Methods, 10, 653-658, 2013; Nature Methods, 14, 760-761, 2017) and coherent pupil function (Communications Biology, 3, 220, 2020) to significantly advance the achievable resolution limit for fixed and living specimens. The Huang lab also collaborate extensively with cell biologists, neuroscientists, and chemists to tackle fundamental biological questions in areas such as cytokinesis, epigenetics, neural circuits, and cell motility. We apply our imaging technologies to reveal disease mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease, autism, and cancer. A list of the group's recent work can be found here: https://www.fanghuanglab.com/publications.html. The lab's research is mainly funded through awards from NIH, DARPA and BRAIN Initiative. The applicant will have a PhD related to one (or more) of the areas in optics, microscopy, applied statistics or signal/image processing. Experiences in optical design and instrumentation, microscopy data analysis, or optical theory will be helpful. Inquiries and applications (including CV, name/email address of 2-3 referees, and reprints of 2 most significant publications) should be directed to: Fang Huang, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University fanghuang(a)purdue.edu<mailto:fanghuang@purdue.edu> Web: https://www.fanghuanglab.com<https://www.fanghuanglab.com/> Applications will be stay open until filled. --

Still time to register to today’s and next week's hands-on machine learning workshop using nanoHUB
by Turner, Jaime J 26 May '21

26 May '21

Dear Colleagues, A few available seats remain for the first two workshops in the Summer 2021 session of our Hands-on Data Science and Machine Learning Training Series. Series information. Our series is aimed at active researchers and educators and designed to introduce practical skills with online, hands-on activities participnts will be able to incorporate in their work. Hands-on activities will use nanoHUB cloud computing resources, no need to download or install any software. All you need is an internet connection and a browser. After the training sessions, you will be able to continue using nanoHUB for research or education. Registration links and material for prior workshops can be found at the workshop webpage: https://nanohub.org/groups/ml/handsontraining Register soon as seats are limited. Title: A Hands-on Introduction to Physics-Informed Neural Networks Date: May 26th 2021, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST Speaker: Ilias Bilionis, Purdue University Register here (limited seats): https://nanohub.org/groups/ml/handsontraining Abstract: Can you make a neural network satisfy a physical law? There are two main types of these laws: symmetries and ordinary/partial differential equations. I will focus on differential equations in this short presentation. The simplest way to bake information about a differential equation with neural networks is to create a regularization term for the loss function used in training. I will explain the mathematics of this idea. I will also talk about applying physics-informed neural networks to a plethora of applications spanning the range from solving differential equations for all possible parameters in one sweep (e.g., solve for all boundary conditions) to calibrating differential equations using data to design optimization. Then, we will work on a hands-on activity that shows you to implement the ideas in PyTorch. I am assuming some familiarity with how conventional neural networks are trained (stochastic gradient descent). Also, you need to know the basics of PyTorch to follow along. Going over this tutorial should be sufficient: https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/pytorch_with_examples.html. Title: Batch Reification Fusion Optimization (BAREFOOT) Framework Date: June 2nd 2021, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST Speaker: Richard Couperthwaite, Texas A&M University Register here (limited seats): https://nanohub.org/groups/ml/handsontraining Abstract: This tutorial will present the fundamentals of multi-fidelity fusion as well as Sequential and Batch Bayesian Optimization as possible optimization approaches that can be integrated with high accuracy computational models or experimental procedures to speed up the optimization or design of materials. The tutorial will also provide an overview of the BAREFOOT framework that combines these two approaches together to further improve the rate of the optimization. All these approaches are compared using the optimization of the workability of a dual-phase steel microstructure.
