SUMMARY:ME 903 Graduate Seminar: Professor Jeff Tithof
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. Professor Jeff Tithof is a professor at the University of Minnesota. \n\n\n\nTitle: Coupled Blood–CSF Flow Dynamics Driving Waste Clearance in the Brain \n\n\n\nAbstract: The last decade has seen a tremendous increase in research probing the role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation through the brain in health and disease. This circulation\, known as the “glymphatic” (glial-lymphatic) system\, is a novel transport pathway first described in 2012 which plays an important role in removing protein waste from the brain. Amyloid-beta is one such protein waste that is known to accumulate over decades\, contributing to the development of neurodegenerative diseases\, including Alzheimer’s. I will first give a brief history of this field\, then discuss several important open questions\, including what propels CSF circulation and why it decreases with aging. I will present recent numerical modeling from my research team that suggests CSF and blood flow work synergistically to amplify brain waste clearance. I will also show that by carefully calibrating our model against published in vivo measurements of amyloid-beta\, we obtained critical waste production and clearance parameters not yet measured in experiments. In the last portion of the seminar\, I will present preliminary results from in vivo mouse experiments demonstrating how neuromodulation (electrical stimulation of nerves) can be leveraged to enhance glymphatic transport in the brain\, potentially leading to therapeutic approaches to prevent or slow progression of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Jeff Tithof is a Benjamin Mayhugh Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Georgia Tech in 2016 and his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from University of Tennessee in 2010. From 2016 to 2020\, Jeff was a postdoc then an Assistant Research Professor at University of Rochester. His research focuses on biological fluid dynamics\, often involving complementary utilization of in vivo experiments and numerical simulations. Jeff has coauthored 35 peer-reviewed publications\, including 20 involving brain mass transport. Jeff received the University of Minnesota Mechanical Engineering “Nugent Family Faculty Teaching Award” in 2025 and a “Career Award at the Scientific Interface” from Burroughs Wellcome Fund in 2019.

SUMMARY:ECE Research Seminar Series: Dr. Jan Jeske\, Quantum Sensing Group at Fraunhofer IAF
DESCRIPTION:Laser-enhanced magnetometry (and other quantum sensing) with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: By integrating NV centres into a laser cavity and combining it with a second gain medium\, we have achieved 100% contrast and 16mW of signal power in optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) read out via a laser signal instead of fluorescence. This leads to an advantage in shot-noise-limited sensitivity and/or dynamic range (set by the ODMR linewidth) of a factor of 780 compared to the average of existing NV and vapour-cell sensors. \n\n\n\nDr. Jan Jeske\n\n\n\nAt Fraunhofer IAF in Germany we furthermore perform imaging magnetometry with a NV widefield magnetometry setup (microscale) and a single NV in the tip of an AFM (nanoscale) and apply this to materials research and fatigue\, electronics and biosamples. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Jan Jeske has led the Quantum Sensing Group at Fraunhofer IAF in Freiburg Germany since 2018. Previously\, he spent 4 years of postdoc in the group of Prof Andrew Greentree\, where the idea of laser threshold magnetometry was developed theoretically. Jeske obtained his PhD at the RMIT University in Melbourne\, Australia in the group of Prof. Jared Cole. He obtained a master’s in physics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany.   \n\n\n\nDr. Jeske’s seminar is hosted by ECE Associate Professor Jennifer Choy.

SUMMARY:ME 903 Graduate Seminar: Professor Matteo Bucci
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. Professor Matteo Bucci is a professor at MIT. \n\n\n\nTitle: FARAWAY\, SO CLOSE: HIGH RESOLUTION INVESTIGATIONS OF BOILING HEAT TRANSFER\, FROM CRYOGENIC FLUIDS TO HIGH-PRESSURE WATER \n\n\n\nAbstract: In every field of science\, the possibility of discovering and understanding new phenomena or testing new hypotheses is strongly related to and limited by the capability of observation. Here\, we will discuss recent advances in experimental boiling heat transfer research made possible by unique experimental facilities and non-intrusive high-resolution optical diagnostics. We will analyze the capabilities and limitations of these techniques in supporting the understanding of fundamental two-phase heat transfer problems\, with a focus on extreme boiling conditions such as the boiling of water at high pressure and temperature\, close to nuclear reactor conditions\, the boiling of dielectric fluids for electronic cooling applications\, or the boiling of cryogenic fluids relevant to space propulsion and energy storage. The use of these diagnostics has been instrumental in providing answers to long-standing fundamental questions on the fluid dynamics and heat transfer nature of these processes. \n\n\n\nBio: Matteo Bucci is the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research group studies two-phase heat transfer mechanisms in nuclear reactors and space systems\, develops high-resolution non-intrusive diagnostics and surface engineering techniques to enhance two-phase heat transfer\, and creates machine learning tools to accelerate data analysis and conduct autonomous heat transfer experiments. He has won several awards for his research and teaching\, including the MIT Ruth and Joel Spira Award for Excellence in Teaching (2020)\, ANS/PAI Outstanding Faculty Award (2018 and 2023)\, the UIT-Fluent Award (2006)\, the European Nuclear Education Network Award (2010)\, and the 2012 ANS Thermal-Hydraulics Division Award. Matteo is the founding editor and deputy Editor-in-Chief of AI Thermal Fluids. He also serves as Editor of Applied Thermal Engineering\, is the founder and coordinator of the NSF Thermal Transport Café and works as a consultant for the nuclear industry.
