Title: Structures and Materials for Stretchable Bioelectronic Tissue Interfaces
Abstract: Stretchable bioelectronics open new possibilities for interfacing with soft biological systems. By conforming to dynamic tissues and maintaining function under strain, these sensors enable powerful capabilities in physiological monitoring and therapeutic feedback. I will present recent advances from our lab, organized around three strategies for achieving high stretchability in bioelectronics: (1) in-plane stretchable architectures, demonstrated by 3D penetrating microneedle electrode arrays that access the interior of dynamic tissues to enable high-fidelity intramuscular electrophysiology; (2) out-of-plane deformations via compressive buckling, used to create wrinkled parylene encapsulation that improves barrier performance for stretchable implantable devices; and (3) intrinsically stretchable materials, highlighting gallium-based liquid metals. We introduce high-resolution liquid-metal-particle thin films patterned by…

Title: BUQ4MLIP: Uncertainty Quantification for Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials
Abstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are transforming atomistic simulations by providing ab initio-level accuracy at orders-of-magnitude faster speeds. Universal MLIPs, also called foundation models, are trained across large, chemically diverse datasets with the goal of broad transferability to new atomic environments. However, the blackbox nature of MLIPs obscures the relationship between atomic environments and predicted outputs, making it difficult to discern when the model is operating within its domain of validity and when its outputs may be unreliable. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) provides interpretable metrics that indicate the confidence or reliability of MLIP predictions. This talk will discuss UQ approaches using quantile regression to produce confidence intervals around the predicted output that can be used to assess the trustworthiness of MLIP-driven simulations.
