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.
