Culture is a potent force in shaping individual and group behavior, yet it has received relatively little attention in the context of financial risk management and the recent financial crisis. In this talk, Professor Lo will present a brief overview of the role of culture and ethics according to psychologists, sociologists, and economists, and then propose a specific framework for analyzing culture in the context of financial practices and institutions in which three questions are addressed: (1) What is culture?; (2) Does it matter?; and (3) Can it be changed?
Recent innovations in semiconductor technology and biochemistry have brought about opportunities for realizing the long sought-after dream of personalized care. Periodic clinical-quality readings of biomarkers and vital signs provide the data needed to build a digital twin of one’s biological profile based on an AI-generated model. The digital twin will be a powerful tool for prevention, diagnosis, prognosis as well as therapeutic plans. The “Waves, Bits, and Molecules”” lab at MIT envisions transformational improvements in healthcare and life quality through innovations in advanced technologies at the intersection of semiconductor technology, biochemistry, and machine learning. In this talk, we review innovative semiconductor technologies such as electrochemical, Ultrasonic, photoacoustic, RF, and magnetic sensors and nanoactuators, which can transform the future of personalized diagnostics and treatments.
