Title: Reversing Damage in Vitrimer Composites using Radio Frequency Heating:
Insights from Simulations and Experiments, Abstract: Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) with superior strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios are replacing their metal counterparts in a wide variety of structural applications. FRPs are projected to represent a $31 Billion market by 2024, driven by the soaring demand in the automotive, aerospace, sports equipment and interestingly in circuit boards. However, the principal limitations of FRP are their brittle failure, insufficient fatigue life and poor recyclability, which results in deficiencies in terms of performance, cost, safety, and reliability of structural components. Consequently there is great interest in developing new concepts for fatigue-resistant, tough and re-processable/sustainable FRP. To address the issue of recyclability, reprocessability and reusability of polymeric systems, the molecular network structure of polymers must be considered. We show that a new class of…

Technology Innovation Sample Class
Thinking Like an Innovator: Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity, Summary: What makes an entrepreneur truly entrepreneurial? In this interactive sample class, participants will step into the mindset that drives today’s most innovative founders and product creators. Led by a faculty member from the MS in Technology Innovation program, this session explores how entrepreneurial thinkers approach uncertainty — not by trying to predict the future, but by shaping it through action, collaboration, and experimentation. Through hands-on experiences and lively discussions, you’ll discover how innovators see the world, take smart risks, and build momentum by embracing the unexpected. Whether you aspire to launch a startup, lead an innovation team, or reimagine your organization’s approach to change, this class offers a window into the practical, problem-solving mindset at the core of the MS in Technology Innovation program.

Abstract
The dream of precision health is to develop a data-driven, continuous learning system where new health information is instantly incorporated to optimize care delivery and accelerate biomedical discovery. The confluence of technological advances and social policies has led to rapid digitization of multimodal, longitudinal patient journeys, such as electronic health records (EHRs), imaging, and multiomics. Our overarching research agenda lies in advancing multimodal generative AI for precision health, where we harness real-world data to pretrain powerful multimodal patient embedding, which can serve as digital twins for patients. This enables us to synthesize multimodal, longitudinal information for millions of cancer patients, and apply the population-scale real-world evidence to advancing precision oncology in deep partnerships with real-world stakeholders such as large health systems and life sciences companies. BioHoifung Poon is the General Manager of Real-World Evidence at Microsoft Research…

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.

Abstract
11 years ago, as Michael started what was then called Oculus Research, at Facebook, he gave a talk at UW about the potential he saw in virtual reality. That talk turned out to be a pivotal moment on the path to where what is now called Reality Labs Research, at what is now called Meta. He’ll look at what his goals were back then and how that’s worked out in both expected and surprising ways, where things are today, and what might be coming over the upcoming years. BioMichael Abrash is the Chief Scientist of Facebook Reality Labs, a research laboratory that brings together a world-class R&D team of scientists, developers and engineers to build the future of connection via virtual reality, augmented reality, and wearables. He was graphics leads for the first two versions of Windows NT, teamed with John Carmack on Quake, worked on the first two versions of Microsoft’s Xbox, and helped develop virtual reality at Valve.

Distinguished Lecture Series: Meredith Ringel Morris - HCI for AGI
The past few years have seen rapid advances in frontier AI models, demonstrating increasing performance and generality. As progress continues toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) scholarship and practice has a critical role to play in ensuring that AI technology is useful to and usable by people to accomplish tasks they value. HCI insights can help us maximize the benefit of AI technologies to individuals, communities, and society while allowing us to understand how to mitigate harms. In this talk, I will describe a research vision for the field of HCI in the AGI era, examining how researchers can facilitate progress toward and adoption of advanced AI via interaction techniques, interface designs, physical form factors, design methods, evaluation methods, benchmarking approaches, and data collection techniques.
