Given the complex process associated with thrombosis\, developing accurate computational models is difficult as validation needs to occur over a range of flow and surface interactions and at different temporal and spatial scales. Thrombi are particularly interesting because of their inherent heterogeneity. Leveraging canonical experiments that acquire a breadth of data will be crucial to validate any computational model\, but do these experiments accurately represent how thrombi form\, deform\, and embolize in the context of devices\, stroke\, and deep vein thrombosis? This presentation will cover the development and experimental validation of our computational models in these areas and the complications posed with blood experiments. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-keefe-manning-phd/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251028T122000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251028T125000 DTSTAMP:20260403T164807 CREATED:20250910T183449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250910T184628Z UID:10001325-1761654000-1761655800@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:ECE Discovery Panel: ECE Named BS Degree Options DESCRIPTION:Join us as ECE Teaching Faculty Srdjan Milicic\, Assistant Teaching Professor Setareh Behroozi\, and Assistant Teaching Professor Eduardo R.

One of the most pressing challenges is the selective extraction and purification of ions from complex aqueous environments—such as recovering lithium from brines or separating rare earth elements from waste streams—using processes that are both energy-efficient and scalable. In this talk\, I will present recent advances in designing and deploying two-dimensional laminar membranes based on earth-abundant phyllosilicate minerals for these applications. \n\n\n\nOur work harnesses exfoliated vermiculite and montmorillonite flakes\, which are reassembled into flexible\, robust membranes with tunable interlayer galleries. Through the use of molecular cross-linkers (e.g.\, alkanediamines) and inorganic pillaring agents (e.g.\, Keggin clusters)\, we achieve control over interlayer spacing and surface charge\, enabling precise tuning of ion transport properties. This design flexibility opens pathways to address critical separations. The resulting membranes exhibit outstanding aqueous stability\, low-cost scalability\, and performance characteristics rivaling or surpassing synthetic alternatives. \n\n\n\nBeyond material synthesis and processing\, I will share insights from our newly developed high-throughput ion permeation platform\, which enables rapid\, parallelized measurements across a wide parameter space of membrane chemistry\, structure\, and testing conditions. This dataset supports the development of machine learning models aimed at predicting ion transport performance from structural descriptors and experimental metadata—laying the groundwork for a material genome approach to membrane design. By connecting scalable materials chemistry with targeted energy applications\, this research exemplifies a holistic approach to energy materials innovation—from atoms to applications.

Raimondo. These changes have introduced unprecedented uncertainty into the regulatory landscape. This talk presents an analysis from an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of nuclear engineering\, risk assessment\, and administrative law\, focusing on three key questions: (i) What does “efficient” regulation and licensing mean under the new legal mandate? (ii) Will current safety methods\, such as Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA)\, remain viable? (iii) What role does regulatory independence play in ensuring safety? In addressing the second question\, the talk will also highlight ongoing research to advance PRA for next-generation reactors and aging plants undergoing policy changes and modernization\, including the integration of AI-driven technologies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZahra MohagheghZahra Mohaghegh is a Professor and Donald Biggar Willett Faculty Scholar in the Department of Nuclear\, Plasma\, and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)\, where she leads the Socio-Technical Risk Analysis (SoTeRiA) Research Laboratory. Her research advances risk science to improve the safety and economic viability of complex technologies\, including commercial nuclear power plants and advanced reactors. Dr. Mohaghegh’s expertise includes probabilistic risk assessment\, human-system reliability\, probabilistic physics of failure\, AI trustworthiness\, uncertainty analysis\, and risk-informed regulation. She has received numerous honors\, including the NSF Mid-Career Achievement Award\, the George Apostolakis Award in Risk Assessment\, multiple Dean’s Awards for Excellence in Research\, and the ANS Mary Jane Oestmann Professional Women’s Achievement Award. She also serves on committees of the U.S. National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine\, actively bridging technical innovation and policymaking in high-consequence industries. \n\n\n\nHammad Khalid Hammad Khalid is a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate and graduate research assistant at the Socio-Technical Risk Analysis (SoTeRiA) lab at UIUC\, advised by Prof. Zahra Mohaghegh. His research focuses on developing the Socio-Technical Risk-Informed Automation Trustworthiness Evaluation (ST-RATE) framework—an integrated approach to assess the trustworthiness of AI-driven automation in high-consequence systems such as nuclear power plants. Hammad has contributed to research projects funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. He is a recipient of the Mavis Future Faculty Fellowship and the NEST Fellowship.
