S1:E25 - Jack VanDrunen: Game Theory in the Philosophy of Science and Computer Science
Jack VanDrunen joins the show once again to talk about the origins of the Philosophy behind how science is done and our modern understanding of scientific theory. We also discuss how this gives rise to Game Theory and the research that has existed to date on the subject. Game Theory has real world applications in economics, political science, natural sciences, and biology. We discuss how Jack's research as a computer scientists is hoping to advance our understanding and ability to simulate and test difficult philosophical problems. Be sure to check out Jack's work on GitHub and LinkedIn!

S1:E24 - Christopher Toh: Machine Learning on Genetic Information (ft. Austin Lefebvre)
On this episode of the Austin Lefebvre joins the podcast as host! This time interviewing Chris about his research in Big Data, Genetics, and Machine Learning. We talk about Chris' own research on COVID-19, as well as his work on cancer and Schizophrenia. We also discuss work life balance, his perspective on why he chose the Biomedical field and also what he's learned doing humanitarian work overseas.

S1:E23 - Cody Dunn: Laser Speckle Imaging and Wearable Devices
Today's guest is Cody Dunn, Lecturer at Cal State Long Beach University and PhD Candidate in Dr. Bernard Choi's lab. He's also an adept researcher in the Medical Imaging space, specifically doing research in something called Laser Speckle Imaging. This type of imaging excels in capturing blood and can help EMTs and physicians quantify things like burn wounds. Currently burns are quantified purely by a physician looking at the wound and choosing first, second, or third degree burn. This new technology could dramatically improve how we treat and handle things like burn wounds. We also talk about the future of wearable devices and some of the hurdles we still need to overcome to get there. Check out the Choi lab's research at Microvascular Therapeutics and Imaging Laboratory at UCI.

S1:E22 - Jeffrey Lim: Brain Computer Interfaces and Restoring a Person's Walking
On this episode of Talks With Toh, we talk with Jeffrey Lim a PhD Candidate in Dr. Zoran Nenadic's lab. He is working specifically on brain computer interfaces (BCI), devices that are designed to record a person's brain signals and use it to perform some sort of action. This includes moving things with a person's mind and restoring a person's ability to walk for a few steps. We get into the nitty gritty of how difficult it is to interface a machine with human thoughts. The barriers are both physical and biological! Check out his research at Center for BioMedical Signal Processing and Computation.

S1:E21 - Jack VanDrunen & Josh Ng: Is Science Vindicated by COVID-19 or Has Public Perception and Policy Failed Us?
In this episode of the podcast we discuss whether or not science has been vindicated by COVID-19. Has the response addressed the needs of the pandemic or has it only made apparent the gaps in our knowledge. We also discuss with Jack & Josh the global outlook of differing policy positions and public perception which may have shifted and altered the response to be one of emotion versus one rooted in the data. Has data been used correctly and have our political movements contributed to the unrest and misunderstanding of basic virtues and beliefs of society? This discussion will be an insightful look to potential responses to all of these topics and question.
