Annual Report & Principal Investigators

Director’s Message 5 Director’s Message

As we report on the first full year of operations under CEIS’s new name, I want to begin by thanking our faculty Principal Investigators and our Industrial Partners for their continued support of the Center’s mission. The support has allowed us to address challenges posed by contract delays and the overall challenging economic environment with only minimal disruptions in Center operations.

Inside this Annual report, you will find an overview of some of our accomplishments over the past year, a directory of our Industry Partners, and, in a revamped format, a directory of the Center’s Principal Investigators highlighting their research and technology interests. In keeping with the broader mandate posed by our new name, in the past operational year, the Center has also reached out to a number of NY state companies in emerging areas of interest, specifically including health, smart grid, and alternative energy sectors. I am happy to report that these efforts have led to new projects that become operational in the current year and on which we will be reporting starting next year. In addition, the discussions have also identified several new project prospects that the Center seeks to enable by bringing in additional economic resources and via a re-prioritization of our investments—some in the current year and some in coming years. All of these leave the Center poised for growth and greater New York State economic impact.

The past year was marked by changes in CEIS staff, which continue through the present, resulting in an all new CEIS team. Part of this ongoing transition involves me. After over three years of active involvement in Center administration, with over two years as Director, I am moving away from my role in Center administration. The move is motivated by my desire to free up time for focusing on my research program and external professional activities. I am pleased to announce that Mark Bocko is taking over the helm of the Center as the new Director. Mark is no stranger to the Center and is probably known to most of you as a faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, a long time CEIS faculty PI, a member of the CEIS Technical Evaluation Committees, and a successful local entrepreneur. Please join me in welcoming Mark in this role. Another new member to the leadership team is Paul Ballentine in his role as the new Associate Director for Business Development. Please also take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rest of the CEIS team whose profiles are featured in this report. As you go by the CEIS offices in Taylor Hall, do stop in to introduce yourself or to say hello.

It has been my privilege to serve CEIS as its director for the past two years. I am proud of what the Center has accomplished over this period working with NYSTAR, our industry partners, and faculty Principal Investigators across several outstanding academic institutions. I would like to thank each of these participants for contributing to a vibrant and strong Center. I would also like to thank the people of CEIS, both past and present: Cathy Adams, Kristine Long, Bill McKenna, Abhishek Nayak, Alyssa Smudzin, Heather Tipaldos, and Barry Watkins. They are indeed the true heroes of the Center and responsible in large measure for its success.

We are pleased to see that CEIS has Gaurav Sharma, Director CEIS, 2008-2010 proactively embraced new directions in order to maintain its effectiveness as an engine for local economic growth.” — Ed Reinfurt, Executive Director of NYSTAR Economic Impact 6 Economic Impact–from CEIS Innovations In the past five years, CEIS has had a steady track record of providing economic impact to New York State. Successful technology transfer by CEIS has made a record total impact on the regional economy of $484 million—increased jobs, growing revenue, cost savings, incremental funding, and capital improvements. Despite the unsteady 2009-2010 economy, CEIS managed to achieve an annual economic impact of over $20 million. We created 22 new jobs in New York State and retained more than 21 jobs as a direct result of CEIS projects. Another 37 students were supported by CEIS investigations.

Since our inception, CEIS has tripled the number of industry partners it engages and broadened its university collaborations from two to five. During that same period of time, the number of projects has grown almost ten-fold.

The dynamic interplay of our research investigators’ expertise with the technology needs of CEIS industry partners continues to be at the heart of our ongoing success. We will continue to confront economic challenges with highly productive, mutually beneficial solutions that result in innovative new electronics, bio-imaging, and nano technologies. From remote-piloted military drones to medical devices and consumer digital cameras, our PIs and industry partners are at the forefront of technologies that make our lives safer, healthier, and more entertaining.

In 2009-2010, CEIS partnered with 41 companies in New York State, of which 26 reported a positive economic impact. Partnering with CEIS researchers is an increasingly cost-effective and creative way to get research done as corporate and government funding for research and development decrease.

CEIS Technology Moves to Deployment In our first year as the new CEIS—Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences—we are experiencing a wave of technology moving to deployment in varied industries. The scope of our faculty/industry relationships is broadening with our PIs holding true to the promise to focus not on what is already but what is in the pipeline and yet to come. A new generation of technology and science is leading creative new products and solutions, and we are helping to grow the New York State economy. The following are just a few examples of outstanding CEIS partnerships.

iCardiac—Beating in Rhythm with CEIS PIs CEIS has worked for the past year with the startup firm iCardiac Technologies—an innovative, research-driven service provider for pharmaceutical cardiac safety trials. iCardiac develops and markets novel advanced ECG-based biomarkers, as well as improved methods for measuring standard ECG-based biomarkers in clinical trials. It offers a broad range of clinical trial services for acquisition, analysis, regulatory compliance and quality control of ECG data in clinical trials. Wojciech Zareba, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Rochester, is working to expand applications of a computerized ECG signal processing software, COMPAS, developed by researchers at the Heart Research Follow-Up Program. The goal is better predicting arrhythmic events and sudden cardiac death in ischemic heart failure patients so that methods may be improved for identifying who might be eligible for prevention of sudden death with implantation of cardioverter defibrillators. Jean-Philippe Couderc, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Rochester, is working to identify children carrying the congenital Long QY Syndrome using low-cost electrocardiographic tools. The project has generated the largest set of digital ECG information ever gathered from children and will test novel ECG markers developed at the University of Rochester and licensed by iCardiac.

Harris—Ever Improving Communications The relationship between CEIS PIs and Harris Corporation evolved this year with two ongoing CAT projects. Marcin Lukowiak, Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, is working with Harris’ Secure Communications Development Group on developing and testing hardware and software components with the goal of providing high- assurance authenticated encryption and decryption for data transmitted over Bluetooth. Two markers of the project’s success are that it is moving into a next phase with a feasibility study in the video arena, and a graduate student in RIT’s Computer Engineering Department, Andrew Fitzgerald, is now a full-time employee of Rochester’s Harris Corporation. Wendi Heinzelman, Associate Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester, is working with Harris in protocol architectures for multimedia radios, specifically the cross-over between network-wide broadcast and multicast, determining when one may be more energy- or bandwidth-efficient than the other. It is all part of the development of a U-TRACE protocol. The study has shown that a unified protocol can support simultaneous broadcast/multicast/ A few stellar unicast streams. It has application in the tactical communications requirements of a small-to- examples of medium size military or law enforcement group in the process of a search or chase. An invention some of the scientific disclosure has been issued for this project. and technological strides being made by our partners. Our Partners in Progress 10

Partnership with Bausch & Lomb Evolves in New Directions Three evolving areas of research are providing new hope for advances in vision care. Kystel R. Huxlin, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, Wayne Knox, Professor and Director of the Institute of Optics, and Holly Hindman, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, are developing a revolutionary new refractive method called IRIS (for Intra-tissue Refractive Index Shaping). IRIS uses a low-energy, high-repetition rate femtosecond laser to noninvasively alter the refractive index and optical properties of different ocular tissues. Initial work has focused on the cornea and lens, but the PIs are now beginning to use IRIS to customize and correct aberrations in implanted intraocular lenses (IOLs). Because it does not cause tissue damage or cell death, IRIS offers great promise as a novel tool to noninvasively customize refractive power and higher order aberration correction without the side effects normally induced by wound healing. In partnership with Bausch & Lomb, two patents have been filed. Knox is also working on using this technique to treat cataracts, which would be a noninvasive revolution for the expansive field.

Another expansive area is presbyopia, the poor near vision that occurs in most people as they age. Geunyoung Yoon, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, and Scott MacRae, Professor of Ophthalmology, have developed an optical bench system. Among its results are the customizable criteria to determine whether a premium IOL will provide significant visual benefit based on individual patients. The results have been presented at two international conferences and will be published. The scope of the work is being expanded in 2010-2011.

Rochester Technology a Help in Aftermath of Haiti Quake During his introductory remarks at the CEIS University Technology Showcase, NYSTAR Executive Director Ed Reinfurt read from a letter by Governor David Paterson addressed to Showcase participants Donald McKeown of RIT and Maxime Elbaz, President and CEO of Geospatial Systems, Inc., which highlighted an important humanitarian project. Paterson thanked them for their innovative work that was helpful in the aftermath of the January earthquake in Haiti. Paterson stated: “Thanks to the partnership between GSI, the University of Rochester, and RIT, the advanced imaging technology you pioneered was available to generate much-needed mapping information very quickly, assisting aid workers in finding routes to deliver services to people in the greatest need. The project also enabled damage assessment to be completed much sooner than would have been possible in the past.” “The impacts of this technology are immediate and have strengthened New York State’s integral, multifaceted role in the ongoing international relief effort. Your work has been critical not only in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake but in laying the foundation for the long-term reconstruction and redevelopment of Haiti.” Reinfurt noted that McKeown, Distinguished Researcher in RIT’s Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, was unable to personally accept his letter from the governor since he was meeting with representatives of the World Bank discussing his project and its value to other emergency situations. The technology development for enabling the use of remote sensing imagery for emergency management and disaster assessment and recovery was conducted, in part, under a joint project between Geospatial Systems, Inc., and Distinguished Researcher McKeown at RIT. The project was conducted under the auspices of RIT’s IT Collaboratory, a NYSTAR-designated Strategically Targeted Academic Research (STAR) Center.

The partnership Anthony Vodacek (RIT), between GSI, the University Gaurav Sharma, Ed Reinfurt, and of Rochester, and RIT enabled Maxime Elbaz (GSI) the advanced imaging technology that was pioneered to generate much-needed mapping information very quickly, assisting aid workers in Haiti after the earthquake.

The opportunity for talented students at the University of Rochester and our partner institutions to contribute to the research activities associated with CEIS’ NYSTAR-funded projects has not only advanced the research but has enhanced the students’ education and provided many with a promising career path. Here are a few of their success stories from the past year. As a result of participating in Professor Robert Bowman’s CAT project with PPC, Characterizing the Efficiency of Embedded Coupling Structures in Coaxial Media, Jeff Kemp, an MSCE student from RIT, was hired by MIT Lincoln Laboratories for his expertise in RF antenna structures. Tom Guiffre (MSEE) from RIT was hired by Analog Devices, Inc., for his expertise in analog circuit design. Similarly, Andrew Fitzgerald, a graduate student in the Computer Engineering Department at RIT and research assistant on Professor Marcin Lukowiak’s CAT project with Harris Corporation, is now a full-time employee at Harris Corporation in Rochester, N.Y. At the University of Rochester, a third-year Ph.D. student, Bora Karaoglu, has worked on Professor Wendi Heinzelman’s project with Harris Corporation since January 2008. During summer 2009, Mr. Karaoglu was an intern at Harris RF, working directly with Harris to implement the protocol work onto its radio platform. In Professor Gaurav Sharma’s lab, student Orhan Bulan worked on the CAT project with Xerox and was hired over summers 2009 and 2010 as a Research Intern at Xerox in Webster, N.Y. Basak Oztan, a student funded on the prior CEIS CAT project with Xerox titled Misregistration Sensitivity Analysis for Color Halftones, was hired as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. Professor Roman Sobolewski’s research with NSF prepared Gregg Guarino, who received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, for his current position as an engineer at Xerox Corporation in Rochester, N.Y. Another grad student, Hiroshi Irie, received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and currently works as a scientist at the NTT Basic Research Laboratory in Japan. Undergraduate student Zeyu Zhao was a part of Professor Wayne Knox’s lab working on his CAT project with Bausch & Lomb, Femtosecond Micromachining of Polymers, and landed a summer job at B&L last year. Adjunct Assistant Professor Christopher Pal in UR’s Computer Science Department provided proof of our students’ added value in his 2009 Bio Imaging progress report on his project with Carestream Health: “In the fall of 2008 the economic downturn started to show its effects and the internal project at Carestream was discontinued. However, as Carestream was very pleased with grad student Chetan Bhole’s performance, they decided to continue to fund our research group to look at some related but different problems more focused on analyzing and segmenting traditional medical images and CT scans. Thus, our collaboration continued in fall 2009 and throughout 2010, but focused on problems in the area of more traditional medical image analysis as opposed to electronic patient records. Our project had 60% less funding than the original plan; however, given the economic conditions we were pleased Carestream was able to continue with the collaboration in any context. Between July 2009 and December 2009, Chetan Bhole developed techniques for medical image analysis and segmentation using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). Another graduate student also worked to create other low-level visual features, which we are now using as inputs to our CRF-based statistical model. We are now able to perform learning in this model for classification and segmentation using different feature types and with models having many parameters. We are now in the process of evaluating the impact of different variations of models and features on the performance of the method and writing a journal paper submission. We found it challenging to obtain high-quality labeled data to train our model and to evaluate our technique. However, working with Carestream we identified a University of Rochester faculty member with a cross appointment in Radiology and Biomedical Engineering who should be able to help provide such labeled data.” Kudos to the CEIS PIs who engage students in their research activities and to the Rochester-based companies that embrace our students’ talents and strive to keep them in Rochester!
