SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Ted Lightfoot
DESCRIPTION:Reception 3:30-4:00pm (2-story space besides 1610 E Hall) \n\n\n\nE.J. (Ted) LightfootTed Lightfoot ConsultingAmherst\, NY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransport Phenomena and Coating Science\n\n\n\nIn the 1960s Transport Phenomena triggered a shift in engineering education from engineering technology to engineering science. In the 1970s the more advanced coating companies (in the photographic\, magnetic tape\, and paper industries) began to undertake fundamental studies of the formation and drying of thin liquid layers on a moving solid substrate. Over the next fifty years\, tremendous progress has been made in understanding how transport phenomena (including rheology\, fluid mechanics\, and both internal and external mass transport) affect the production of coated layers applied to a range of substrates. This talk will review the history of mathematical modeling of the transport processes encountered in the coating industry as well as several opportunities for fundamental advancement that could benefit battery and fuel cell manufacture as well as the development of Perovskite solar cells. Although the talk will review the use of mathematical tools to describe key physical phenomena important to the industry\, the emphasis will be on human factors — both cultural biases and the individual people who have shaped the field.

SUMMARY:NEEP Seminar Series: Paul Cosgrove & Valeria Raffuzzi\, University of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 1112:00 – 1:00pm106 Engineering Research BuildingPlease contact office@neep.wisc.edu for assistance with remote participation. \n\n\n\nShort-cutting critical searches with the zeta-eigenvalue equationCriticality searches\, such as finding the boron concentration or control rod position that makes a reactor critical\, are usually performed through repeated k-eigenvalue calculations. This presentation will introduce a new approach based on the zeta-eigenvalue\, a scaling parameter applied to material densities or system dimensions in the neutron transport equation. At convergence\, zeta directly yields the critical density or dimension. This talk will go through the theory\, its implementation in the SCONE Monte Carlo code\, and numerical results relevant to reactor physics and criticality safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nValeria RaffuzziValeria Raffuzzi is a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge. She holds a BSc in Energy Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, an MSc in Nuclear Engineering from ETH Zurich\, and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on developing and analysing Monte Carlo methods for neutron transport\, and on nuclear data evaluation and validation. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPaul CosgrovePaul is an assistant teaching professor and research fellow at the University of Cambridge. After graduating from Queen’s\, Belfast in chemical engineering (2014)\, he moved to Cambridge where obtained his MPhil in Nuclear Energy (2016) and PhD in engineering (2020). Paul’s research concerns computational reactor physics\, particularly stochastic transport and understanding the behaviour of different algorithms.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Harry Atwater
DESCRIPTION:Harry AtwaterDepartment of Applied Physics and Materials ScienceCalifornia Institute of TechnologyPasadena\, California \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDesign of Materials and Devices for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Conversion using Sunlight\n\n\n\nOver the next two decades\, science advances will be needed to enable scalable technologies for i) direct capture of dilute CO2 at the gigaton scale as well as ii) CO2 reduction to fuels\, chemicals\, and materials\, powered by renewable energy or directly by sunlight. I will discuss materials and device advances needed for a promising capture approach\, a scalable energy-efficient route to direct ocean capture of CO2\, via an electrochemical pH swing. This scheme utilizes bipolar membrane electrodialysis to create the pH swing required to capture CO2 drawn down into the ocean in the form of dissolved inorganic carbon. I will also explore approaches for directly generating liquid solar fuels from carbon dioxide\, sunlight\, water. This requires new photocatalysts and thermocatalytic structures to facilitate transfer of electrons\, protons\, and reactants\, to selectively yield multi-carbon products at semiconductor photoelectrode surfaces and catalytic sites. Two tandem reaction schemes for liquid solar fuel generation from CO2 will be discussed: i) a three-terminal tandem photoelectrode with two monolithically integrated but distinct catalytic centers operating at independent potentials to yield products via a cascaded reaction sequence\, and ii) a tandem photoelectrochemical/solar thermocatalytic cascade that uses electrochemically synthesized ethylene\, carbon monoxide and hydrogen as intermediates to yield multi-carbon products (butene\, hexene\, and heavier hydrocarbons) synthesized via solar-driven thermocatalytic reactions.

SUMMARY:ECE Research Seminar Series: Professor Carsten Ronning
DESCRIPTION:2321 Engineering Hall \n\n\n\nIon beams for photonics and quantum technology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\n\nIon beam technologies are today routine methods in electronic device manufacturing\, e.g. the production of a modern processor needs 20-30 ion implantation steps. On the other hand\, the 21 st Century is considered by many to be the century of light following a century of developments in electronics. Therefore\, Ronning will present several experiments for the manipulation of the optical properties of (nano)materials using ion beams\, as well as corresponding strategies for the realization of photonic and quantum devices. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nCarsten Ronning\n\n\n\nCarsten Ronning is full professor and director of the Institute of Solid State Physics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena\, Germany. He studied physics at the Universities of Bremen and Konstanz\, and completed his PhD thesis entitled “Diamond-like materials prepared via mass selected ion beam deposition” in 1996. After holding a post-doc position at the North Carolina State University (USA)\, he performed intense research at the University of Göttingen on thin films\, semiconductor physics as well as on semiconductor nanowires. He moved to the Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 2008\, where his group is today studying the synthesis\, modification and characterization of nano-scale solids\, where the optical properties of semiconductor nanowires and metasurfaces are in focus.

SUMMARY:ECE Research Seminar Series: Dr. Oliver Burrow
DESCRIPTION:2321 Engineering Hall \n\n\n\nCompact Cold-Atom Platforms Enabled by Grating MOTs and Progress to Real-World Quantum Sensing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\n\nLaser cooling of atoms is the first step in a wide range of atomic and molecular experiments\, where low temperatures enable precision measurements. Traditionally\, laser-cooling apparatus were large\, often approaching room-scale\, but over the past decade there have been concerted global efforts\, including the UK’s Quantum Hubs initiative\, to reduce their size\, weight\, power\, and cost to enable the real-world deployment of quantum technologies. \n\n\n\nThe University of Strathclyde developed the grating magneto-optical trap (gMOT)\, which replaces the traditional six-beam MOT optical-geometry with a single input beam and a diffractive optic. This greatly reduces system complexity\, eases miniaturisation\, and provides a large solid angle of optical access. Typical Rb gMOTs trap >10⁷ atoms from vapour and achieve microkelvin temperatures. Recent advances at Strathclyde include gMOT atomic fountains\, optical lattices with the gMOT optic as the reflector\, and integration with sub-wavelength RF cavities\, paving the way for compact atomic clocks with stabilities approaching 10⁻¹³  τ -1/2. \n\n\n\nAnother challenge is achieving compact vacuum systems suitable for laser cooling. In collaboration with industrial partners\, we have created centilitre-scale ultra-high vacuum chambers with integrated gMOT optics\, demonstrating long operational lifetimes without active pumping. When combined with packaged electronics and beam-launch optics\, these become true cold-atom platform subsystems\, requiring only a power supply and a fibre-coupled laser input. \n\n\n\nThese platforms are now being translated into field-ready quantum sensors through UK academic–industrial partnerships. Applications include compact atomic clocks (gClock) and hybrid classical–quantum inertial navigation systems\, with initial sea trials planned for 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nOliver Burrow\n\n\n\nDr. Oliver Burrow is a Research Fellow in the University of Strathclyde’s Experimental Quantum Optics and Photonics Group. He completed his MPhys in Physics with Theoretical Physics at the University of Manchester in 2011 before moving to the University of Liverpool\, where his studies were developing a prototype atom interferometer to probe the dark contents of the vacuum under the supervision of Dr Jon Coleman\, earning his PhD in 2016. That research group has since become a founding member of the AION and MAGIS collaborations\, which are developing cutting-edge atom interferometers for gravitational-wave detection. \n\n\n\nSince joining Strathclyde in 2015\, Dr. Burrow’s research has focused on developing compact components for laser cooling\, with a strong emphasis on knowledge exchange and industrial collaboration. He has played a key role in advancing gMOT optics with Kelvin Nanotechnology and in developing centilitre-scale ultra-high vacuum gMOT systems with CPI-TMD. These technologies have become integral to next-generation quantum sensors in the UK\, and he is now leading efforts at Strathclyde with industry to deploy these cold-atom platforms as core subsystems in practical quantum sensors. \n\n\n\nDr. Burrow’s visit is hosted by ECE Associate Professor Jennifer Choy\, and ECE Antoine-Bascom Professor and Jack St. Clair Kilby Professor Mikhail Kats
