SUMMARY:Mechanics Seminar: Tanmoy Chatterjee
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). Tanmoy Chatterjee is the Lead Research Engineer in Aerodynamics at GE Research Inc.  \n\n\n\nPresentation Title: From Turbulence to Turbines: Exascale CFD in Wind Energy \n\n\n\nAbstract: Wind energy is rapidly expanding in scale\, with individual turbines now exceeding 100-meter blades and offshore farms stretching tens of kilometers. Yet\, predicting their performance and more critically reliability remains a grand challenge of fluid mechanics\, spanning phenomena from centimeter-scale blade boundary layers to kilometer-scale atmospheric flows. This talk explores how exascale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is transforming our ability to model and design wind energy systems across these scales. I will discuss recent advances in high-fidelity\, turbulent fluid–structure interaction simulations\, and their integration with the Department of Energy’s ExaWind project. Specific examples will include simulations of coastal low-level jets (LLJs) driving wind farm variability\, and the development of data-driven dynamic stall models for next-generation turbine blades. Together\, these efforts highlight how exascale CFD is reshaping our understanding of turbulence\, turbines\, and wind farms — and accelerating innovation in the renewable energy industry. \n\n\n\nBio: Tanmoy Chatterjee is a Lead Research Engineer in Advanced Simulations and Methods at the GE Vernova Advanced Research Center. Prior to joining GE\, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Argonne National Laboratory\, where he developed exascale CFD models using spectral codes for internal combustion engine simulations. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Arizona State University\, focusing on turbulence–turbine interactions in large wind farms. \n\n\n\nAt GE Vernova\, Dr. Chatterjee has led the development of high-fidelity exascale CFD–FSI simulations of wind farms and turbine blade-level turbulence\, as well as data-driven reduced-order models for blade vibrations in the regimes of stall-induced and vortex-induced vibrations (SIV/VIV). He has also contributed to advanced controller strategies for mitigating turbine loads under unconventional wind conditions. In addition to his technical contributions\, Dr. Chatterjee has successfully led several GE-internal and government-funded research initiatives\, including projects supporting the DOE-WETO RAAW campaign in collaboration with national laboratories and academic partners.

SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: From Campus to Career: Maximizing Experiences for Industry Readiness
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Universities are organized primarily by departments\, but industry is organized by function: research\, design\, regulatory\, quality assurance\, sales\, marketing. Having some knowledge of this structure ahead of time will help you select and approach classes in ways more likely to have you end up where you want to be.Fortunately\, the UW-Madison also has many opportunities that let you “try on” an industrial career ahead of time. These opportunities vary in duration from hours to months. As you start to invest in these channels\, you will be more likely to benefit from the serendipity that the breath of expertise present at UW-Madison naturally provides.This seminar will feature three individuals in a conversational format who will discuss how they used these channels to supplement their coursework and research to build industrial success. While all three of these individuals eventually earned PhDs\, the topics and approaches discussed are equally applicable to MS students. \n\n\n\nSpeakers (L to R):Professor Chris Brace\, PhD; UW BME Vice Chair; Co-founder\, NeuWave MedicalJustin Koepsel\, PhD\, MBA; UW BME MS’08\, PhD’12; Senior Director of Commercial Operations at Catalent BiologicsTom Lilieholm\, PhD’24; Co-founder and Director of Neuroimaging ImgGyd \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint PDF

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Phil Christopher
DESCRIPTION:Phil ChristopherUniversity of California\, Santa BarbaraSanta Barbara\, CA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCatalyst deactivation: Mechanisms\, stability by design\, and pathways to machine-learned models\n\n\n\nSupported metal catalysts are used ubiquitously in industrial applications for energy conversion\, material/chemical manufacturing\, and pollution mitigation. Fundamental research often focuses on elucidating structure-function relationships that connect active site structures and compositions to their reactivities. Relationships that connect active site structure to stability are less well developed. Such insights require appreciation of dynamic structure changes\, longer term experimentation\, and reactors characterized by gradients in temperatures and chemical potentials. I will highlight two recent research efforts studying the deactivation of supported metal catalysts. First\, I will discuss the deactivation of supported coinage (Cu and Ag) metal catalysts which occurs via sintering due to the low melting points of these metals. We found that the addition of < 1:100 mol fraction of certain dopant metals results in drastic stability enhancement under methanol synthesis reaction conditions A model was developed that proposes the role of dopants as local stabilizers of highly mobile metal atoms. Secondly\, I will discuss the deactivation of Rh/TiO2 catalysts under CO2 hydrogenation conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that deactivation occurs through competing mechanisms as a function of catalyst composition and reaction conditions\, motivating the use experimentally trained machine learnt models to predict deactivation behavior. A round robin style experimental campaign was performed across 4 institutions to generate data for this effort. I will discuss our learnings in terms of the drivers of catalyst deactivation and experimental uncertainty in studies of catalyst deactivation.

SUMMARY:ME 150th Celebration: Distinguished Alumni\, Brewster Shaw
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate 150 years of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin – Madison\, the Department of Mechanical Engineering will feature distinguished alumni in mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics who have made a lasting impact on the field. Brewster Shaw\, who received his bachelor’s (’68) and his master’s (’69) in engineering mechanics\, is a former astronaut who completed three space-shuttle missions\, helped to dissect the 1986 Challenger disaster\, and then held key management positions for NASA before entering the private sector. To learn more about Brewster Shaw’s experience\, please join us for this installment of our ME 903: Graduate Student Lecture series. *Students\, Nicholas Rienstra and Nathan Wagner\, who received the 2025 Astronaut Scholar Foundation award\, will also be recognized at this event.  \n\n\n\nAbstract: A great many\, if not most\, UW-Madison engineering students start their first year not knowing where they are headed nor what they want to do with their lives. The ensuing process of self discovery can be daunting to say the least. For most\, timing (ergo luck)\, is a huge factor in the ultimate degree of success. It can be a significant challenge for the student to realize that now their future\, and the effort and responsibility to make that future what they want it to be\, lies on their shoulders. \n\n\n\nBrewster Shaw is a graduate of the UW-Madison engineering mechanics program (BS 1968\, MS 1969) who was never a “practicing” engineer\, but has always appreciated the value of his engineering education in all the aspects of his professional life. The abilities to understand the technical aspects of executing “high risk” technical programs\, specifically human spaceflight programs\, and to ask penetrating questions of the teams involved in those executions\, proved to be invaluable throughout his career. \n\n\n\nIn his speech\, Brewster Shaw will demonstrate the broad applicability of a quality engineering education to show students if one has a roadmap to help guide one through the unavoidable forks in the road\, better choices can be made that will increase the probability of success greatly. \n\n\n\nBio: Brewster Shaw has served The United States of America in aerospace with government and industry teams throughout a career spanning 43 years. During this time he was a member of The United States Air Force (USAF)\, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)\, and The Boeing Company. He is a Vietnam combat veteran with tours in the F-100 and F-4 fighter aircraft in Vietnam and Thailand respectively. \n\n\n\nDuring his USAF career\, Shaw served as combat fighter pilot\, test pilot\, and instructor pilot. In 1978 he was selected by the USAF and NASA to the first group of Space Shuttle Astronauts. As an astronaut\, Shaw flew three space shuttle missions – as pilot of STS-9 in November 1983\, as commander of STS-61B in November 1985\, and as commander of STS-28 in August 1989. After this mission he served at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida as Shuttle Operations Manger and the Johnson Space Center in Houston\, Texas as Space Shuttle Program Manager. During this time Shaw retired from the USAF with rank of Colonel and joined NASA as a Senior Executive Service government employee. \n\n\n\nShaw retired from NASA and joined Rockwell Aerospace and Defense in Seal Beach\, California in January 1996. In December that year Rockwell Aerospace and Defense was acquired by Boeing. \n\n\n\nIn his final career position Shaw served as vice president and general manager\, Space Exploration\, for Boeing Defense\, Space & Security at The Boeing Company. In this role he was responsible for the strategic direction of Boeing’s civil space programs and support of NASA programs such as Space Shuttle\, International Space Station (ISS)\, Checkout\, Assembly & Payload Processing Services (CAPPS)\, Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) and future Space Launch Systems. Prior to that\, he was Boeing International Space Station vice president and general manager\, responsible for leading the industry team in designing\, developing\, testing\, launching\, and operating NASA’s international orbiting laboratory and Chief Operating Officer of United Space Alliance\, re-sponsible for executing Space Shuttle Program operations under contract to NASA. \n\n\n\nOver his twenty year flying career\, Shaw logged 533 hours of spaceflight and more than 5\,000 hours flying time in over 30 types of aircraft – including 644 hours of combat in the F-100 and F-4 aircraft. He is the recipient of many awards for serving his country in the U.S. Air Force and with NASA. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree in engineering mechanics from the University of Wisconsin. \n\n\n\nShaw is married to Kathleen Anne Mueller of Madison\, Wisconsin. They have three children (one deceased) and five grandchildren.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Kate Galloway
DESCRIPTION:Kate GallowayMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyCambridge\, MA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngineering high-precision\, dynamic genetic control systems for cell fate programming\n\n\n\n\nIntegrating synthetic circuitry into larger transcriptional networks to mediate predictable cellular behaviors remains a challenge within synthetic biology. In particular\, the stochastic nature of transcription makes coordinating expression across multiple genetic elements difficult. Further\, delivery of large genetic cargoes limits the efficiency of cellular engineering. Thus\, our work is focused on the design of highly-compact genetic tools with a minimal genomic footprint. Simultaneously\, we have been developing cocktails of transgenes that are capable of rapidly convert cells into neurons. The sparse and stochastic nature of reprogramming has obscured our understanding of how transcription factors drive cells to new identities. To overcome this limit\, we developed a compact\, portable reprogramming system that increases direct conversion of fibroblasts to motor neurons by two orders of magnitude. Low rates of direct conversion have previously limited the potential for central nervous system (CNS) applications. Using compact\, optimized\, polycistronic cassettes\, we generate motor neurons that graft with the murine central nervous system\, demonstrating the potential for in vivo therapies. In this talk\, I will describe how we are building genetic controllers that can regulate transgenic cargoes and cell fate in primary cells. These genetic control systems provide an essential foundation for realizing the promise of synthetic biology in translational therapies.

SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Susan Leggett\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Engineering Tumor Microenvironments on a Chip to Model Early Events in Breast and Ovarian Cancer Metastasis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan Leggett\, PhDAssistant ProfessorDepartment of BioengineeringUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign \n\n\n\nAbstract:The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic and multifaceted ecosystem in which biochemical and mechanical cues jointly regulate cell behavior\, tumor heterogeneity\, and disease progression. My lab develops engineered “tumor-on-a-chip” systems to reconstruct the 3D tumor microenvironment and dissect how cell-cell interactions\, fluid flow\, and interfacial mechanics influence early metastatic events. In this talk\, I will first introduce our approach for the rapid and accessible fabrication of organ-on-a-chip devices using epoxy-coated 3D printed molds. This workflow enables the generation of high-fidelity\, biocompatible PDMS-based devices in a scalable\, reproducible\, and imaging-compatible format. I will then discuss how we are leveraging this technology to reverse-engineer solid breast tumors composed of heterogeneous cancer cell and immune cell subpopulations\, including macrophages\, to model how tumor-immune interactions shape cell plasticity and collective invasion. Finally\, I will present our novel peritoneal cavity-on-a-chip\, designed to mimic the primary route of ovarian cancer spread. In this model\, individual ovarian cancer cells and clusters can be injected into fluid-filled peritoneal cavities to emulate circulating tumor cells that shed from the ovary during disease progression. Using live-cell imaging\, we examine how these cells interact with\, and infiltrate\, the surrounding mesothelium to initiate metastatic colonization. Together\, these approaches establish versatile experimental platforms to study dynamic cell and tissue-level behaviors\, providing new strategies to model\, predict\, and ultimately control metastatic progression. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Önder Metin
DESCRIPTION:Önder MetinCollege of Sciences\, Koç UniversityIstanbul\, Türkiye \n\n\n\nRational Design of Nano(photo)Catalysts for Green and Sustainable Chemical Conversions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCatalysts are central to numerous industrial processes\, including fuel synthesis\, polymer production\, and pharmaceutical manufacturing\, enabling reactions to proceed under milder conditions\, with lower energy requirements\, and with better selectivity by minimizing undesirable byproducts. Over the last quarter century\, transition metal nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as highly effective catalysts due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and the enhanced reactivity of surface atoms compared to bulk metals. These properties have enabled the rapid advancement of nanocatalysis\, which often offers superior performance compared to traditional homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Bimetallic NPs\, either alloys or core-shell structures\, are particularly important\, as they often exhibit enhanced catalytic activity\, selectivity\, and stability due to synergistic interactions between two-distinct component metals. This approach is particularly useful for combining noble and non-noble metals\, reducing cost without sacrificing efficiency. \n\n\n\nIn parallel\, aligning catalytic strategies with green chemistry principles has motivated efforts to integrate photocatalysts capable of harvesting a broad spectrum of the solar spectrum. Such systems offer a sustainable route to more efficient and cost-effective chemical transformations. While semiconductor-based photocatalysts have long been under investigation\, their widespread application is limited by challenges such as poor band-edge alignment with target reactions and rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers\, both of which significantly reduce photocatalytic efficiency. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will highlight our rational approach to synthesizing monodisperse monometallic and bimetallic NPs\, including alloy and core-shell structures supported on two-dimensional materials such as high-surface-area carbon or reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-CN). The rationale behind support selection will also be discussed. I will also describe the rational design of g-CN and other 2D semiconductor-based photocatalysts for various chemical transformations. The catalytic performance of these nanomaterials will be demonstrated in applications such as hydrogen production from chemical hydrogen storage materials (water\, ammonia borane\, and formic acid)\, transfer hydrogenation for the synthesis of valuable organic molecules under mild conditions\, C–H bond functionalization\, and electrochemical processes including CO₂ reduction and fuel-cell reactions. Finally\, I will share insights from our experience commercializing an rGO–Ni₃₀Pd₇₀ nanocatalyst and a bismuthene photocatalyst for practical chemical transformations.

SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Keefe Manning\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Predicting Thrombus Formation\, Deformation\, and Embolization: A Look at Devices\, Stroke\, and Deep Vein Thrombosis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeefe Manning\, PhDProfessor of Biomedical Engineering and SurgeryDepartment of Biomedical EngineeringPennsylvania State University \n\n\n\nAbstract:Thrombosis remains a significant clinical issue manifesting in heart attacks and strokes but also challenges the success of cardiovascular devices. 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

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Seth Darling
DESCRIPTION:Seth DarlingArgonne National LaboratoryLemont\, IL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLayered Phyllosilicate Membranes for Energy-Critical Ion Separations in Resource Recovery\n\n\n\nEnergy systems depend not only on resilient generation and efficient storage but also on the management of critical materials. 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.
