In this talk, I will discuss the potential of Topological Data Analysis (TDA) for gait pattern classification. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on explicit detection of Gait Events (GEs) to compute Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters (SGPs), TDA characterises the global structure of gait signals directly, capturing relationships and patterns in the data without requiring GEs. This is particularly relevant in real-world settings, where GE detection can be diQicult due to heterogeneity in walking conditions and gait patterns, potentially biasing clinically relevant metrics and, consequently, decision-making.<br>\r\nWithin our department, preliminary results have shown that TDA-based features can achieve classification performance comparable to that of SGPs in fall-risk assessment. These findings suggest that topology oQers a competitive alternative for representing gait data, with the potential to better handle variability across subjects and pathological<br>\r\nconditions.<br>\r\nBuilding on these results, we plan to further extend the TDA framework in two directions. First, we aim to investigate time-aware topological methods to better capture the<br>\r\ntemporal structure of gait signals. Second, we will explore Topological Deep Learning (TDL) approaches to reduce reliance on handcrafted design choices and potentially<br>\r\nimprove classification performance. By combining the robustness of topology with datadriven representation learning, this work seeks to provide robust tools for the classification of typical and pathological gait patterns.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-30T09:44:37", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-30T09:47:45", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 517", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%20517", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Elena Botti, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)", "organizer": "Markus Kirolos", "contact": "Maroussia Schaffner", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120224/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71496, "title": "Sexual Harassment Awareness Day 2026", "slug": "sexual-harassment-awareness-day-2026-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/sexual-harassment-awareness-day-2026-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32838/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32838/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32838/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-21", "end_date": "2026-04-21", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>Swiss higher education and research institutions are organising a fourth Sexual Harassment Awareness Day (SHAD) on 21 April 2026 to help build a harassment-free university environment.</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>At the national level:</strong><br>\r\nAn online event (link to come) will take place from 12:15 to 13:15 in English, under the title <strong><em><a href=\"https://www.unisg.ch/en/university/about-us/advisory-offices/diversity-equality-inclusion/respect/tag-gegen-sexuelle-belaestigung/\">From Awareness to Action: Together Against Sexual Harassment in Higher Education</a>.</em></strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nProf. <strong>Dirk Baier</strong> from the ZHAW School of Engineering will present empirical insights on the structural factors linked to sexual harassment in academic institutions.

In this context, this talk will focus on recent research advances on biomass and CO<sub>2</sub> conversion to sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), chemicals and bio-based materials. Considering the challenges associated with low-carbon resources, including dispersed distribution, significant fluctuations in raw material composition, and high conversion costs, a distributed-centralized system utilizing alcohols as key platform molecules has been proposed. Alcohol synthesis from biomass and CO<sub>2</sub> will be presented with the focus on catalysis for methanol (thermocatalysis) and ethanol synthesis (electrocatalysis) from CO<sub>2</sub>. Conversion of alcohol to SAF will be introduced with discussions on the design of multifunctional catalysts for alcohol conversion, the dynamic evolution of catalytic sites, and the strategies for tuning product distributions.

So, how can we heal faster or grow tissues better given this complexity? Our work applies principles from crowd mechanics, materials science, and swarm robotics to ‘herd’ cellular motion. Here, we will explore three stories related to this. </div>\r\n\r\n<div>First, we will discuss ‘outside-in’ tissue control where we have developed new strategies to ‘herd’ cellular motion inspired by sheepherding. Here, we use local electrical stimuli to control cellular speed and direction, enabling remote control of injury healing and tissue growth. These approaches are fundamentally limited by the engineering mechanics of crowds, and we will discuss how to develop control strategies here. </div>\r\n\r\n<div>Next, we will examine ‘inside-out’ tissue control where we hack swarm mechanics by building synthetic materials that mimic cells and integrate into living materials to control their function. In particular, we will look at our recent work using 3D nano printed ‘L’arc de triomphe’ tunnels to regulate and improve cell-material adhesion. </div>\r\n\r\n<div>Finally, we are developing a new type of living, soft actuator based on kidney tissue and collective control of water transport. Here, we use electrical cues to regulate ion transport and subsequent osmotic flux, allowing us to electrically control the hydrostatic pressure in living tissues and hydrogels, and we would especially appreciate feedback and advice here. </div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div><strong>Biography</strong>: Prof. Cohen is a joint Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Bioengineering Institute at Princeton University where he also serves as the Director of Graduate Studies for the Bioengineering Ph.D. Program. He did undergraduate training in Mechanical Engineering at Princeton University, followed by a Bioengineering Ph.D. at UC Berkeley/UCSF and a Cell Biology post-doctoral fellowship at Stanford University. When he is not in the lab, he is a professional storyteller, running the LabTales Science Storytelling training workshop and performing many times each year in theaters, nightclubs, universities, and museums around the world. </div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-06T09:25:57", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-09T10:43:11", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MED 0 1418", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==MED%200%201418", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/61360740951", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://mae.princeton.edu/people/daniel-cohen\">Prof. Daniel Cohen</a>, <a href=\"https://mae.princeton.edu\">Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering</a>, <a href=\"https://www.princeton.edu\">Princeton University</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">MechE Colloquium </a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/sangwoo.kim?lang=en\">Prof. Sangwoo Kim</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "MechE Colloquium: Cellular crowd control: engineering collective cell mechanics for faster healing, better adhesion, and hydraulic ‘kidneybots’.", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120300/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/232/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/270/?format=api" ] } ] }
