SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Sara McBride-Gagyi\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Failing Fabulously: Vogue Challenging Niche Large-Scale Bone Repair Research Missteps into Broad Impact Innovations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSara McBride-Gagyi\, PhDAssistant ProfessorDepartment of Biomedical EngineeringThe Ohio State University \n\n\n\nAbstract:Research rarely unfolds exactly as planned. Despite careful preparation and well-designed protocols\, unexpected outcomes — and outright failures — are an inevitable part of experimental science and engineering. Yet these challenges are seldom shared publicly\, leaving many trainees and early-career researchers feeling isolated or discouraged when things go awry. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Sara McBride-Gagyi will share two recent projects from her lab related to her larger research on bone regeneration that faced significant\, unforeseen setbacks — challenges that could easily have been dismissed as fatal failures that wasted valuable time and resources. Instead\, through creative problem-solving and critical re-evaluation\, her team turned these obstacles into opportunities\, ultimately generating results and innovations more impactful than the original aims. \n\n\n\nDr. McBride-Gagyi will walk through each project chronologically\, highlighting the engineering design pivots\, decision-making processes\, and lessons learned along the way. She will conclude with a discussion of how these experiences are being reframed for publication and dissemination — underscoring the value of transparency\, adaptability\, and perseverance in the scientific process. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Moon Jeong Park
DESCRIPTION:Moon Jeong ParkPohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)Korea \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolymer Chain-End Chemistry: Unlocking Next-Generation Functional Materials\n\n\n\nEnd-group functionalization has become a powerful and versatile strategy in polymer science\, enabling precise control over physical properties\, nanoscale self-assembly\, and interfacial functionality without modifying the polymer backbone. In our group’s research\, we have investigated how tailored end groups affect intrinsic polymer characteristics such as thermal transitions\, solubility\, and crystallization behavior\, and how end-group interactions direct polymer self-assembly\, particularly by modulating chain packing\, interfacial curvature\, and phase behavior in block copolymer systems\, including the formation of complex network morphologies. Our goal is to develop synthetic methodologies for polymers with rationally designed end-functional groups\, allowing systematic study of their thermodynamic phase-transition behavior through precise control of molecular interactions. By identifying and tuning key variables\, our work aims to deepen fundamental understanding of polymer science. These insights highlight the transformative potential of end-group chemistry for next-generation polymer materials and provide a foundation for designing functional nanomaterials for emerging applications\, including solid-state battery electrolytes\, mechanical metamaterials\, and optical metamaterials.

SUMMARY:ECE Distinguished Speaker Seminar Series: Professor Zetian Mi
DESCRIPTION:Nanoscale and Polarization Engineering: Unlocking New Frontiers with III-Nitrides\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: Wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconductors offer unprecedented opportunities to address some of the most critical challenges we face in the next decades: energy efficiency\, clean energy\, environmental sustainability\, and quantum information. In this talk\, I will present some recent advances of nanoscale and polarization engineering of (ultra)wide bandgap III-nitride semiconductors and their emerging applications in next-generation microelectronics and photonics. By exploiting the strong excitonic effect in extreme quantum-confined nanostructures\, conventional low-efficiency AlGaN can be turned into high-brightness deep-ultraviolet emitters\, which offer the only alternative technology to replace mercury lamps for water purification/disinfection. The strong excitonic effect can be further exploited to achieve ultrahigh efficiency nano-LEDs to power future virtual/augmented reality. I will also discuss the recent discovery of ferroelectricity in III-nitride semiconductors\, which leads to dramatically enhanced linear and nonlinear optical properties\, piezoelectric response\, and reconfigurability\, that are urgently needed for integrated quantum photonics for information processing\, acousto-electronics for 5G/6G technologies\, memory-in-computing in harsh environments\, and light-driven artificial photosynthesis for clean energy. \n\n\n\nProfessor Zetian Mi\n\n\n\nBio: Zetian Mi is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Pallab K. Bhattacharya Collegiate Professor of Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His teaching and research interests are in the areas of semiconductor nanotechnology\, optoelectronics\, and photonics. He is a recipient of Optica’s Nick Holonyak\, Jr. Award (2025)\, AVS NSTD Nanotechnology Recognition Award (2025)\, ISCS Quantum Devices Award (2024)\, Science and Engineering Award from W. M. Keck Foundation (2020)\, IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer Award (2021)\, and IEEE Nanotechnology Council Distinguished Lecturer Award (2020). At the University of Michigan\, he received the David E. Liddle Research Excellence Award (2021)\, Rexford E. Hall Innovation Excellence Award (2024)\, and Wise-Najafi Prize for Engineering Excellence in the Miniature World (2025). He is a fellow of IEEE\, APS\, Optica\, and SPIE. He is a co-founder of NS Nanotech Inc. and NX Fuels Inc.
