SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Allen Garner PhD
DESCRIPTION:Electrical Manipulation of Biological Cells: Models and Applications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAllen Garner\, PhD\, PEProfessor\, Graduate Program ChairSchool of Nuclear EngineeringPurdue University \n\n\n\nElectric waveforms\, including electric pulses (EPs) and alternating current (AC) fields\, such as radiofrequency and high-power microwaves\, can induce deleterious or beneficial effects that require additional characterization. We combine thermal models with the Smoluchowski equation to assess the interactions of EP and AC waveforms with biological cells. We further develop a computationally efficient model based on the asymptotic Smoluchowski to screen biological response over seven orders of magnitude of pulse duration with excellent agreement between simulated electroporation and experimental observations. Applications in microorganism inactivation\, natural products for cancer therapy\, platelet activation\, and stem cell stimulation will be discussed. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF

SUMMARY:NEEP Seminar Series: Brelon J. May\, Idaho National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 1812:00 – 1:00pm106 Engineering Research BuildingPlease contact office@neep.wisc.edu for assistance with remote participation. \n\n\n\nEpitaxial Nitrides: Bringing Squares and Triangles TogetherThe world of nitride materials is vast; it is comprised of extremely stable materials and yet remains relatively underexplored. Individual nitride materials display exceptional properties and are used in a wide variety of structural\, electrochemical\, photochemical\, and plasmonic applications. The hexagonal wurtzite-structured group III-Nitride materials are nearly ubiquitous in optoelectronic\, photonic\, and high-power devices due to many factors\, including the large variation in bandgap spanning from the infrared to the deep ultraviolet. Recent research has pursued the combination of this well-established material system with other transition-metal nitrides for the creation of complex heterostructures which display interesting optical\, electronic\, and quantum effects. The metastable cubic zincblende phase of GaN provides an attractive alternative as a wide bandgap cubic material direct gap of 3.2 eV and the increased symmetry of cubic structures could resolve issues with internal polarization fields and simplify interfacing with other cubic materials. Transition metal\, rare earth\, and actinide nitrides often share a stable rocksalt structure\, and many have been employed in applications requiring mechanical or thermal stability in harsh environments. Additionally\, many of these materials have notable\, magnetic\, superconducting\, or plasmonic properties\, and precise integration could facilitate wide ranging investigations. \n\n\n\nThis work will discuss how molecular beam epitaxy is used to synthesize and dope hexagonal and cubic nitrides and integrate them into precise heterostructures. Reflection high energy electron diffraction\, X-ray diffraction\, and transmission electron microscopy reveal the epitaxial quality of single layer films and superlattices. The electrical transport properties of superconducting\, metallic\, and insulating epitaxial cubic and hexagonal nitrides will be discussed. The properties show strong dependence on growth parameters\, but similar growth windows were found for GaN and some metal nitrides\, which allows for fabrication of metal-dielectric multilayers which could be used for optical metamaterials. These results provide new platforms for epitaxial superconductor-semiconductor-magnetic systems comprised of group-III\, transition metal\, rare earth\, and actinide elements expanding possibilities of band engineering\, spintronics\, quantum science and heavy element systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrelon J. MayBrelon May is an applied physicist at Idaho National Laboratory using molecular beam epitaxy to synthesize single-crystalline thin films based on actinides\, lanthanides\, and transition metals. His research aims to facilitate the understanding and enable utilization of the unique physics that arise in highly correlated materials and to leverage single crystals as platforms for investigating relationships between complex systems. His interests include superconductivity\, magnetism\, and epitaxial integration of dissimilar material systems for the creation of multi-functional hierarchical matter. \n\n\n\nHis fascination for thin film deposition started when he was at Clarkson University\, where he received his bachelor’s in chemical engineering (2013) and helped with deposition of polycrystalline solar cells using a Crayola airbrush and a hotplate. He earned his doctorate at The Ohio State University in materials science and engineering where he received the Presidential Fellowship. There\, he worked on the vacuum deposition of several material systems including wide bandgap oxides and 2D selenide-based materials\, but his focus was on the growth of nitride nanowires and fabrication of ultraviolet LEDs. Before joining Idaho National Laboratory\, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden\, Colorado\, where he developed a method to reduce the cost of high efficiency solar cells\, through combining traditional III-V material deposition techniques with water soluble alkali halides.

SUMMARY:ME 903 Graduate Seminar: Mike Molnar
DESCRIPTION:The ME 903: Graduate Student Lecture Series features campus and visiting speakers who present on a variety of research topics in the field of mechanical engineering. Michael Molnar (BSME ’85) is the founding director of the Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office at NIST.  \n\n\n\nPresentation Title: The Federal Role in Accelerating Technology and Manufacturing Innovation \n\n\n\nAbstract: The development of critical and emerging technologies plays a key role in U.S. national and economic security. Since the founding of our nation the role of the federal government has been clear on national security but a matter of considerable debate on the broader economic security. Beginning with Alexander Hamilton’s Report on Manufactures through Vannevar Bush’s Science\, the Endless Frontier\, to today – the principles of an innovation policy are clear. What though is the federal role in industrial policy with a free market system? \n\n\n\nSeveral successful models have emerged\, all having elements of partnership to support industry and academia. Manufacturing USA is an example of industry-led public private partnerships. Established as a program just ten years ago as applied research institutes on emerging technologies\, these institutes feature mass collaboration of industry and academia on projects of technology acceleration\, supply chain and workforce development. Some 18 institutes are currently in the national network with a new institute on Artificial Intelligence for Resilient Manufacturing planned this year. The talk concludes with briefly contrasting other engagement models\, such as Operation Warp Speed\, for accelerating technology. \n\n\n\nBio: Mike is the founding director of the Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office\, the interagency team responsible for the Manufacturing USA network of applied research manufacturing innovation institutes. He also leads the NIST Office of Advanced Manufacturing and serves as co-chair of the National Science and Technology Council\, Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing – the White House team responsible for the National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing. Prior to joining federal service in 2011 Mike had a successful industry career\, including 25 years leading manufacturing and technology development at Cummins\, a U.S. based global company that designs and manufactures engines and power generation products. Mike is a proud Badger\, with two of his degrees from the University of Wisconsin – a Mechanical Engineering B.S. and one of the first graduates of the Manufacturing Systems Engineering Masters program.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Pramod Wangikar
DESCRIPTION:Seminar 9-10am at Union South Landmark Room \n\n\n\nPramod WangikarChair Professor for Green Chemistry and Industrial BiotechnologyDepartment of Chemical EngineeringIndian Institute of Technology BombayMumbai\, India \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarnessing Metabolomics for Precision Medicine and Fermentation\n\n\n\nMetabolomics is an emerging tool in bioengineering research\, based on profiling hundreds of metabolites in biological systems to provide a detailed view of cellular metabolism. In this evolving field\, success hinges on advanced data acquisition methods\, particularly mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography (LC–MS) or gas chromatography (GC–MS). We present specific use cases from our research that demonstrate the transformative potential of metabolomics in understanding and manipulating biological systems for healthcare and industrial applications: \n\n\n\n\nBiomarker Discovery in Metabolic Disorders: We used untargeted metabolomics to discover novel biomarkers for chronic metabolic disorders. In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D)\, we identified distinct panels of metabolites associated with the risk of kidney and cardiovascular complications. These biomarkers hold potential for diagnostic tools offering greater predictive power and clinical efficacy than the standard glucose test.\n\n\n\nFermentation Optimization via Spent Media Analysis: Metabolomic analysis of spent culture media reveals critical insights into cellular metabolism in fermentation processes. By integrating these data with genome-scale metabolic models through constraint-based modeling\, we optimized nutrient supplementation strategies\, achieving substantial improvements in product yield with minimal experimental trials. \n\n\n\n\nHandling large\, complex datasets from untargeted metabolomics presents a significant challenge due to data complexity and noise. To streamline the analysis of such large metabolomics datasets\, we developed MSOne\, an AI-based platform that automates and accelerates data processing. Additionally\, we leverage MetaMine\, a repository derived from thousands of public-domain metabolomics studies that supports comparative analysis and meta-level insights. Together\, these tools serve as essential resources for addressing challenges in large-scale metabolomics data handling and interpretation\, reinforcing the promise of metabolomics in precision medicine and industrial biotechnology

SUMMARY:Mechanics Seminar: Professor Matthew Brake
DESCRIPTION:The Mechanics Seminar Series is a weekly seminar given by campus and visiting speakers on topics across the spectrum of mechanics research (solids\, fluids\, and dynamics). Professor Matthew Brake is an Associate Professor at Rice University.  \n\n\n\nPresentation Title: Videographic Modal Analysis \n\n\n\nAbstract: Experimental modal analysis is a classical tool that has formed the basis of modern vibration testing and qualification. Despite this\, the process of experimental modal analysis is largely reliant upon techniques from over 60 years ago. Typical experiments of large structures can take months of planning and setup\, and require thousands of channels of accelerometer data. To lower the cost and time associated with vibration testing\, Videographic Modal Analysis (VMA) combines recent advances in data science\, image processing\, and traditional modal analysis concepts. First\, natural frequencies are identified from videos of an experiment using a deep learning algorithm. Once these frequencies are identified\, optical flow\, phase-based motion magnification\, and edge detection techniques are automatically applied to quantitatively characterize the mode shapes of the structure. Without instrumentation\, we can now identify mode shapes and natural frequencies of arbitrary structures in real-world settings (not just beams vibrating in labs!). This talk will present the science behind VMA and demonstrate its applicability. \n\n\n\nBio: Prof. Brake started at Rice University in 2016 after working at Sandia National Laboratories for nine years. Prior to Sandia\, Prof. Brake graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2007. Prof. Brake has been elected to several leadership positions\, including as the director of the International Committee on Joint Mechanics\, the chair of the Nonlinear Dynamics Technical Division of SEM\, and the chair of the ASME Technical Committee on Vibration and Sound. He is a recipient of the 2012 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers\, the 2018 C.D. Mote Jr Early Career Award\, and the National Science Foundation Career Award. His primary research interests are in data-driven experimentation\, multi-scale and multi-physics modeling\, vibration\, tribology\, uncertainty propagation\, structural health monitoring\, and nonlinear dynamics.
