End Date:	10/9/2024	End Time:	5:00 PM

Exhibition from June 12 through December 13, 2024. Even from its beginning in 1891, Drexel was a pioneer in promoting education for women. The original Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry consisted of eleven programs . One of these departments was the Department of Domestic Economy, which was one of the first of its kind outside of schools that were dedicated solely to the education of women. This exhibition shows the history of Westphal College from the early years of the Home Economics program to its push into art and design in the latter half of the 20th century to the college today. Featuring photographs and letters from Drexel University Archive s and pieces from the Drexel Founding Collection, the exhibition highlights the people, programs and practices that have been pivotal to Westphal’s growth from one of the earliest academic programs for women.

This exhibition was curated by Priya Vaswani, Photography & Art History '24 and designed by Will Schumacher, Graphic Design '24.

An opening reception will be held on June 12th from 5 - 7 PM. RSVP required.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Uncovering Hidden Patterns: Understanding Heterogeneity in Population Health & Mortality (10/9/2024)

Wed, 9 Oct 2024 16:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	10/9/2024	Start Time:	12:00 PM
End Date:	10/9/2024	End Time:	1:00 PM

The Department of Community Health and Prevention presents Alexis Santos, PhD, Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State University and a Demographic Data Fellow for the Administrative Data Accelerator.

His research leverages administrative records and vital statistics to inform public policy. He is also a Research Associate at the Population Research Institute. Alexis holds a PhD in Applied Demography from the University of Texas at San Antonio and previously completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Brooke Army Medical Center. He earned an M.A. in Economics from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, and a BA in Economics from the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey.

His presentation will explore the evolving field of population health sciences and how new data continually enhance our understanding of the U.S. population. He will question whether “well-established” patterns in population health apply universally across the country, examining who benefits from these patterns and who may be excluded.

The talk will focus on the experiences of racially and ethnically minoritized populations, with case studies on topics such as the rural mortality penalty, fall- and opioid-related mortality, self-reported health status, and Hispanic/Latino health.

Kolmogorov Embedding Kernel for Spatiotemporal Pattern Metrics in 5-D Live Cell & Tissue Microscopy (10/9/2024)

Wed, 9 Oct 2024 18:30:00 GMT

Start Date:	10/9/2024	Start Time:	2:30 PM
End Date:	10/9/2024	End Time:	4:00 PM

BIOMED Seminar

Title:
A Kolmogorov Embedding Kernel for Spatiotemporal Pattern Metrics in 5-D Live Cell & Tissue Microscopy

Speaker:
Andrew Cohen, PhD
Associate Professor
Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering
College of Engineering
Drexel University

Details:
We show a new semi-supervised learning framework for microscopy movies as a tool for discovery of patterns in live cell & tissue. The normalized compression distance (NCD) provides a metric distance between 5-D (𝑥,𝑦,𝑧,𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒,𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙) image pairs. The theory is Kolmogorov complexity, an absolute or universal probability based on statistics of lossless file compression. Multi-scale 3-D image filters enhance blob, plate, tube -like structures based on a priori structure knowledge. The compression is a 3-D free lossless algorithm (FLIF) that uses decistion tree encoding to identify patterns of spatio-temporal structure. This NCD is a reproducing kernel for a Hilbert space (RKHS). An embedding is any representation of the N input movies as points in an N-dimensional space.

The key advantage of the RKHS over all other embeddings is that the RKHS preserves optimally the extrinsic geometry, the space outside of the embedded points, as defined by the metric distance. This allows the use of simplified learning machines with improved generalization capabilities in the RKHS. One application uses pairs of retinal OCT images to measure patterns of progression of, for example, glaucoma and towards the broader field of oculomics. Another application shows the improved visualization and RKHS embedding of patterns of bio-mechanical signaling dynamics in human breast epithelial cells in the context of cancer-associated mutations and / or optogenetic perturbation with markers including ERK, calcium, etc. We’ll talk briefly about open-source software, hardware requirements and finish with a call for collaboration.

Biosketch:
Andrew R. Cohen, PhD, is an associate professor in the department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Prior to joining Drexel, he was on the faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Dr. Cohen received his PhD and MS in computer engineering, and his BS in electrical engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, USA.

Dr. Cohen’s research comprises using computational analysis of time-lapse microscopy images to understand dynamic behaviors in disease and development. His work integrates approaches in image processing, distributed software architecture, algorithmic information theory and machine learning to formulate insights into how living systems undergo change. Dr. Cohen was previously employed as a microprocessor product engineer at Intel Corp., and as a software design engineer in the operating systems group at Microsoft. He is a senior member of the IEEE.

Shakespeare Read-Aloud: Richard II (10/9/2024)

Wed, 9 Oct 2024 20:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	10/9/2024	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	10/9/2024	End Time:	5:00 PM

The Pennoni Honors College would like to invite you to another Shakespeare Read-Aloud for all interested students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends of the Pennoni Honors College. Hosted by outgoing Dean and Shakespeare scholar, Dr. Paula Marantz Cohen, we will read Richard II and discuss the play as we go along. Richard II is a historical play that traces the downfall of King Richard II, whose ineffective and capricious rule led to his overthrow. After banishing his cousin Bolingbroke, the king seizes his estate to fund a war, sparking a rebellion. Bolingbroke returns from exile, gains widespread support, and forces Richard to abdicate the throne. The play explores themes of kingship, legitimacy, and the consequences of misrule. No grades, no pressure, no judgment. Join us on Zoom to read or just to listen. Can't make it each week? No problem! Drop in as you are able. Wednesdays starting August 21, 4-5 p.m. EST.
