Sridevi Sarma Included in latest edition of Women in Science

Assistant Professor Sridevi Sarma was chosen by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for inclusion in their latest Women in Science booklet. The article includes a brief overview of neuroscience and the groundbreaking work which Sri is pursuing for the NCSL and Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM) in biomedical engineering.

From the introduction: “In this latest Women in Science booklet, kindly sponsored once again by the L’Oreal Corporate Foundation, we meet 16 women in five different areas of biology research: Virology, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Microbiology, and Immunology. Although this list does not cover all areas of research, the essays about the scientists in these fields will give you an idea of the differences, and similarities, between their jobs. They will also give you some insight into their personal triumphs and struggles as these women have strived to build successful and meaningful careers for themselves.”

Course in Dynamical Systems to be offered by ICM this fall

Introduction to Dynamical Systems (Course number – BME/ME/ECE: 580.616) will be available this fall with Assistant Professor Sridevi Sarma of the NCSL, Institute for Computational Medicine and Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University. The course examines linear, discrete- continuous-time, and multi-input-output systems in control and related areas. Least squares and matrix perturbation problems are considered. Topics covered include state-space models, stability, controllability, observability, transfer function matrices, realization theory, feedback compensators, state feedback, optimal regulation, observers, observer-based compensators, measures of control performance, and robustness issues using singular values of transfer functions.

More information about curriculum available through the ICM can be found in the education section of the ICM site (link).
