Relatively recent advances in materials science are now making it possible\nfor scientists and engineers to adapt similar strategies for human problems. In this seminar\, I will\npresent our recent work on two such efforts: (1) exploring new ways of creating infection-resistant\nmaterials for healthcare that remove the need for antibiotics and (2) leveraging industrial\nmass-manufacturing capacity to create large-scale surfaces with functionality such as sensing. In\nour work on infection-resistant materials\, we draw from the way that Nature uses liquid-like layers\nas one effective method to control microorganisms. We created a similar system for commercially\navailable urinary catheters\, one of the most widely used and infection-prone medical devices. Tests\nof the modified catheter materials both in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that the presence of a\nliquid-like surface effectively prevented the attachment and spread of six of the most common\npathogens in catheter-associated urinary tract infection. The materials also resisted colonization by\nan emerging fungal pathogen of concern\, Candidozyma auris. In our work on functional surfaces\, we\nrepurpose a butterfly-scale-inspired nanoscale surface textured produced at 4\,000m\n2/h for the fashion industry as a water-quality sensor. By continuously monitoring the diffraction pattern\nproduced by the surface texture as water passes over it\, we show that it is possible to detect and\nquantify a variety of model contaminants including chemical compounds\, sediment\, and algae.\nPreliminary field testing in estuaries\, rivers\, and lakes around Maine confirmed the potential of\nbio-inspired diffraction sensing for low-cost environmental monitoring. Together\, these projects\nprovide a glimpse of the range of solutions that can be generated by looking to Nature for inspiration.

This talk highlights efforts at the National Eye Institute to address these changes and shares lessons for the broader scientific and medical communities. Topics include an overview of NEI\, the potential of imaging and AI to improve care (with pediatric retinal disease as an example)\, key challenges to adoption and NIH initiatives to address them\, and emerging trends shaping the future of clinical care\, research\, and education. \n\n91 the speaker\nDr. Michael F. Chiang is Director of the National Eye Institute. By background\, he is a pediatric ophthalmologist and is also board-certified in clinical informatics. His research focuses on the interface of biomedical informatics and clinical ophthalmology in areas such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)\, telehealth\, artificial intelligence\, electronic health records\, data science\, and genotype-phenotype correlation. He is an Adjunct Investigator at the National Library of Medicine\, and his group has published over 250 peer-reviewed papers and developed an assistive artificial intelligence system for ROP that received Breakthrough Status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.\n\n91 the workshop\nThis distinguished lecture is presented by the University of Maine’s Office of the Vice President for Research and Maine College of Engineering and Computing. 91 System is an equal opportunity institution committed to nondiscrimination.

In this talk\, we will discuss a variety of such inequalities\, including new ones for convex hypersurfaces. The focus will be on results that can be stated without making reference to how quickly a space curves. This is joint work with Joseph Hoisington.
