SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Applying a translational research framework to understand PFAS exposures and health risks
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Max Aung\, Assistant Professor of Environmental Health\, USC Keck School of Medicine \nDescription: Per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of industrial chemicals that are ubiquitous in the environment and in humans. The National Academies of Science\, Engineering\, and Medicine\, have identified PFAS as an important environmental risk factor for various chronic health conditions\, including cancer and metabolic disorders. Contaminated drinking water is one source of human PFAS exposure\, specifically for communities within East and South Los Angeles (LA) that have multiple point sources of PFAS (e.g. metal plating facilities and textile industries). Importantly\, the CalEnviroScreen 4.0 indicates that many neighborhoods in East and South LA have high pollution burden overlapping with high PFAS contamination in public water systems. \nThis presentation will highlight key translational environmental health projects in our USC ShARP Superfund Research Center that have been instrumental for increasing knowledge of PFAS exposures and health risks and strengthening community engagement for science and policy translation. I will outline how our team has utilized basic experimental models to complement epidemiologic studies\, leveraging multi-omics data integration to uncover biological mechanisms. Building on this\, I will illustrate how we have developed community and multi-sector partnerships to inform exposure assessment and science translation to address local PFAS contamination. \nBio: Max Aung is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Health at the USC Keck School of Medicine. He holds leadership roles as Director of the Translational Research Core in the USC Southern California Environmental Health Sciences Center and as Director of Community Engagement in the USC ShARP Superfund Research Center and the USC Center for Translational Exposomics Research. He is also a current Harvard JPB Environmental Health Fellow. Max’s research program focuses on investigating biological mechanisms linking environmental exposures to maternal and child health outcomes. He uses translational approaches to advance environmental health research\, including experimental models\, epidemiological studies\, community-engagement\, and science communication and policy translation. \nHosted by: Marina Ramon\, Director of Genomics Training Programs for the Genomics Institute

SUMMARY:Lei\, K. (CM) - Designing for meaningful large-scale online communication\, connection\, and collective insight
DESCRIPTION:Digital technologies have made large-scale online interaction a central part of how people communicate\, connect\, and work together. Yet scaling often comes at the cost of depth\, and interactions can become superficial and chaotic\, drifting away from the richer interactional contexts of small-scale or in-person settings that support trust and meaningful exchange\, and that make it possible for participants to respond to and build constructively on one another’s ideas. Although recent advances such as large language models have opened new possibilities for shaping online interaction\, there has been relatively little exploration of how to design interaction mechanisms that take advantage of large-scale engagement while fostering interactions that are engaged\, authentic\, connected\, and generative. \nIn this dissertation\, I explore how large-scale online systems can be designed to support engaged and meaningful interaction at scale from three distinct angles: 1) creating few-to-many conversation structures that enable broad participation while maintaining coherence and a high level of engagement; 2) fostering authentic self-expression in ways that build connection; and 3) designing mechanisms that allow participants to interpret and constructively build on one another’s contributions to generate collective insight. I begin by designing a chat-based interface that organizes conversations through multi-person conversational units\, enabling one or a few mentors to effectively mentor a large-group of students. I then examine how to design a gratitude-focused online community that supports authentic and positive expressions of gratitude\, cultivating positive cycles of reflection and connection. Finally\, I introduce a large language model–powered survey platform that blends qualitative depth\, quantitative structure\, and collaborative interaction\, enabling respondents to engage with and build on each other’s ideas while providing survey creators with richer and more interpretable results. My work demonstrates how technological affordances and large-scale participation can be combined to create interaction mechanisms that support the move from isolated contributions toward shared understanding\, offering unique forms of engagement that small-scale or in-person settings cannot provide. \nEvent Host: Kehua Lei\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computational Media  \nAdvisor: David Lee

SUMMARY:Van Duker\, N. (AM) - A Random Choice Hybrid Method for Resolving Shock Placement Errors in 1D Relativistic Hydrodynamics with Transverse Velocities
DESCRIPTION:This report presents a one-dimensional Random Choice-based hybrid method for simulating special relativistic hydrodynamics (SRHD) flow problems. The proposed scheme combines a high-order accurate method and a random choice method\, selectively applying the first to smooth flows and the second to shocks and discontinuities. This hybrid approach addresses the issue of incorrect wave placements in the presence of significant transverse velocity\, commonly encountered in one-dimensional SRHD shock tube tests. In support of this development\, we present a modified shock/contact detection switch\, specifically tuned for relativistic flows. We find that our method improves both the accuracy and computational performance when compared against existing methods on a well-known family of pathological shock tube problems. Our analysis of these pathological problems provides a path forward for further improving existing higher-dimensional methods. \nEvent Host: Nathan Van Duker\, Ph.D Student\, Applied Mathematics \nAdvisor: Dongwook Lee

SUMMARY:Lydon\, S. (SciCAM) - Magnetic Buoyancy Instabilities in Deep\, Twisted Magnetic Layers
DESCRIPTION:In observing the solar magnetic field\, possibly the most prominent features visible on the surface are sunspots\, which emerge at different latitudes as the solar cycle progresses. Sunspot pairs are believed to be formed by concentrated bundles of mainly toroidal magnetic field (flux tubes) looping through the surface. These regions exhibit surprisingly ordered patterns of behavior such as the Hale's Polarity Law\, Joy’s Law\, and the Solar Hemispherical Helicity Rule (SHHR). The latter states that emerging flux in the Northern hemisphere generally has left-handed current helicity\, whereas the Southern hemisphere has right handed. While there is magnetic field at all scales on the sun\, the origins of these active regions and the connection between large-scale dynamo generated fields and active region scales is a long standing and difficult question. The flux tubes that form sunspots most likely originate from magnetic buoyancy instabilities that occur in the solar tachocline and then subsequently rise through the convective zone. Although there are many theories of the origin of the SHHR\, the helicity content in the emerging flux is often claimed to be a direct result of the helicity (or angulation) in the originating dynamo field.\ \n   Magnetic buoyancy instabilities and their non-linear evolution have been studied and simulated by others in 2D and 3D\, generally using magnetic slabs that possess infinite gradients at their interfaces\, which guarantees that said instability occurs. In this work\, we extend these ideas\, allowing the initial conditions to have a gently varying interface between magnetic and non-magnetic layers with variable width (while still satisfying criteria to initiate the instability). We look for differences in the evolution of the instabilities in this new scenario. This setup allows us to then add a horizontal poloidal field component to the previous horizontal toroidal component\, thereby creating a horizontal field that varies in direction over the depth of the magnetic interface. We study the instabilities of this setup and examine the emerging flux tubes for any resultant helicity in order to explore the relationship between helicity in emerging magnetic structures and that in the originating field. \n   Overall\, we found that when the magnetic interface was wider\, the instability proceeded in a distinctly different fashion depending on the particular aspects of the originating layer. In our setup\, the fluid generally went unstable lower down in the transition layer and created different geometries of the magnetic structures and secondary instabilities due\, at least in part to\, the stronger buoyancy forces deeper in the layer and to the necessity of deformation of overlaying field. The instabilities are rapid and mix efficiently\, reaching a stable end-state much faster in the deep layer cases than the shallow layer version. \ \n   Furthermore\, when adding twist to the originating fields\, we found that the resultant helicity in the emerging magnetic structures does indeed depend on the initial profile of the field. In general\, a dominant outer helical layer of the flux tube is found\, the chirality of which is directly dependent on the angle of poloidal and toroidal field at the point of maximum instability in the layer\, even if the structure rose through field of the opposite angulation. \nEvent Host: Sean Lydon\, M.S.

SUMMARY:Mavrogiannakis\, A. (CSE) - Scalable Oblivious Databases and Systems
DESCRIPTION:Modern applications are increasingly designed with a strong emphasis on scalability and performance\, as systems are expected to process ever-growing volumes of data and deliver results with minimal latency. Techniques such as distributed architectures\, in-memory computation\, and optimized data structures are routinely adopted to meet these performance-driven demands. However\, in the pursuit of speed and efficiency\, security is often treated as a secondary concern or an afterthought. This oversight can lead to critical vulnerabilities\, as even the most performant systems remain fundamentally insecure if sensitive information can be leaked or exploited. As data becomes more valuable and privacy regulations grow stricter\, ensuring robust security measures is not merely desirable but strictly necessary—an essential requirement that must stand alongside scalability and performance as a first-class design goal. \nTo meet security requirements\, many applications adopt end-to-end encryption to protect data stored in the cloud. While this prevents external adversaries from accessing sensitive information\, prior work [CITE] has demonstrated that encryption alone is insufficient: an untrusted server can still exploit execution patterns and access behaviors to gradually reconstruct the underlying database in plaintext. As an alternative\, other applications rely on Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)\, which offer strong guarantees through memory encryption\, isolation\, and integrity checks. TEEs are particularly appealing due to their ease of use and high performance\, often approaching that of non-encrypted systems. However\, TEEs are not without limitations [CITE]. They remain vulnerable to leakage-abuse attacks and side-channel vulnerabilities [CITE]\, which can undermine their security guarantees in practice. \nIn my research\, I combine TEEs with oblivious computation to achieve stronger security guarantees without sacrificing practicality. Specifically\, my work focuses on designing\, analyzing\, and implementing oblivious algorithms for databases and systems. A central theme of my research is bridging the gap between security and performance\, developing scalable algorithms that approach the efficiency of plaintext execution. For example\, in our first project\, Obliviator (to appear at USENIX Security ’25)\, we introduced oblivious implementations of fundamental database operators—such as filtering\, aggregation\, and joins—in a shared-memory setting\, achieving efficiency at scale on datasets up to hundreds of gigabytes. Building on this foundation\, our subsequent work extends these operators to distributed environments\, addressing challenges such as secure execution under weaker trust assumptions and reducing communication overhead\, both in terms of rounds and data exchanged. We also introduced frameworks that enable parallelism in oblivious computation\, further enhancing performance. My current work focuses on extending these techniques to multi-way joins\, where combining multiple tables introduces new challenges in both efficiency and security. In parallel\, I am exploring query optimization strategies tailored to the oblivious setting\, with the goal of pushing oblivious database systems closer to the performance of traditional plaintext systems. \nEvent Host: Apostolos Mavrogiannakis\, Ph.D Student\, Computer Science & Engineering

SUMMARY:Doganyigit\, K. (BMEB) - Reimagining the petri dish\, automated incubator-free organoid culture system for long term organoid maintenance and disease modeling
DESCRIPTION:Organoids offer strong in vitro models for studying development and disease; however\, traditional incubator-based culture methods hinder environmental regulation\, elevate evaporation rates\, and limit imaging and instrumentation access—restricting their effectiveness for prolonged\, physiologically relevant research. To address these challenges\, we created a compact\, automated culture system that eliminates the need for an incubator by integrating microfluidic recirculation with gas exchange inspired by artificial lungs in intensive care medicine. The system employs a fluid impermeable gas-exchange membrane along with an aqueous buffer to passively stabilize oxygen\, pH\, and osmolarity. Automated media transfer and integrated sensing enable consistent\, multi-week live imaging and accurate environmental control. \n\n   The First Aim of this proposal addresses the creation and execution of this organoid culture platform that does not require an incubator. In Aim 2\, I validate the system utilizing mouse cerebral cortex organoids grown in the system\, evaluating metabolic viability\, tissue structure\, and electrophysiological activity in comparison to shaker-incubator controls. I will also employ RNA sequencing to further analyze cell-type composition and transcriptional stress profiles. In Aim 3\, I will modify the platform to simulate the prenatal stroke penumbra by incorporating spatially localized hypoxia and hypoglycemia through pressure-modulated perfusion. Combining real-time hypoxia imaging with transcriptomic analysis to facilitate investigation of ischemic damage and recovery within a regulated organoid model. Overall\, this research seeks to create a flexible\, and physiologically appropriate culture system that enhances experimental access and facilitates a better environment for new models of organoid development and disease research. \nEvent Host: Kivilcim Doganyigit\, Ph.D Student\, Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics \nAdvisor: David Haussler
