SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Ying Diao
DESCRIPTION:Professor Ying DiaoDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular EngineeringUniversity of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAI-guided Closed-loop Learning for Functional Molecule Discovery\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosed-loop discovery of functional molecules represents a new paradigm to new materials discovery. However\, so far\, AI-driven closed-loop discovery approaches have rarely yielded new chemical insight. I am leading a team to address this challenge under the Molecule Maker Lab Institute\, one of the first AI Institutes in US. We connect autonomous synthesis\, autonomous device printing and testing\, and machine learning in a closed loop to drive molecular design of light harvesting small molecules towards high photostability. We combined blind Bayesian Optimization (BO) with physics-based ML models to expand the classical “closed loop optimization” method for a more informative “Closed-Loop Transfer” (CLT) paradigm capable of making scientific discoveries We uncovered a first principles understanding of the molecular determinants of photostability in which the triplet excited state manifold plays a critical role against literature findings. We further applied this strategy to understanding molecular design rules underpinning chiral emergence of conjugated polymers. Such understanding laid the foundation to developing next generation chiral electronics spanning solar cells\, conductors\, spintronics and beyond. At present\, we are working to partner Large Language Model with our closed-loop learning approach towards developing a chemical language model for organic electronics.

SUMMARY:NEEP Seminar Series: Maik Lang\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville
DESCRIPTION:NEEP Seminar SeriesThursdays12:00 – 1:00 PM106 Engineering Research BuildingPlease contact office@neep.wisc.edu for assistance with remote participation.Characterizing Defects and Disorder in Nuclear Materials with Spallation Neutron ProbesMaterials utilized in nuclear applications must safely operate within harsh environments characterized by intense radiation\, high temperatures with steep gradients\, and changes in chemistry. Prolonged exposure to these extremes leads to material degradation that is ultimately driven by the formation of defects and disorder. This presentation summarizes recent efforts to use state-of-the-art analytical tools that have become recently available at large user facilities\, such as the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, to uniquely characterize nuclear materials. It will be shown that coupled X-ray and neutron total scattering experiments can provide unique insights into the local defect structure of fuel-type materials (e.g.\, UO2) and wasteform ceramics (e.g.\, A2B2O7 pyrochlore oxides). In almost all cases it was apparent that the formation of defects and disorder\, and associated thermal recovery\, is much more complex than previously though with distinct processes occurring over different length scales and sublattices in the material.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaik Lang is a Professor and Pietro F. Pasqua Fellow in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Heidelberg (Germany) in 2004. He spent time as a postdoctoral researcher at the Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research (Darmstadt\, Germany) and at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor\, USA). In August of 2013\, he joined the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Lang performs research in the field of disordered materials and investigates the behavior of materials under extreme environments\, including energetic ion irradiation\, high pressure and high temperature. He applies advanced materials characterization techniques that are available at user facilities\, such as the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He is involved with several research projects funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

SUMMARY:MS&E Seminar Series: Dr. Daniel B. Miracle\, Air Force Research Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:UW-Madison Department of Materials Science and Engineering welcomes Dr. Daniel B. Miracle. His seminar\, “Commercial Alloys Through a High-Entropy Lens”\, will take place on Thursday\, October 15 from 1-2 p.m. in MSE 265. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nDr. Dan Miracle served for 48 years in the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory\, including 24 years as a Senior Scientist. His research has covered nickel-based superalloys and intermetallic compounds; metal matrix composites; advanced aluminum alloys; and boron-modified titanium alloys. His current research explores metallic glasses and high-entropy alloys. \n\n\n\nDr. Miracle received a B.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Wright State University\, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Metallurgical Engineering from The Ohio State University\, and an Honorary Doctor of Science from the Institute of Metal Physics\, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Miracle is a Fellow of ASM\, International; The Minerals\, Metals & Materials Society (TMS); and the Air Force Research Laboratory. He is an Honorary Member of the Indian Institute of Metals and has received the Air Force Basic Research Award and the Presidential Rank Award. He is author or co-author of over 240 peer- reviewed articles and 7 book chapters\, and is co- editor of 6 books. He has given over 220 plenary\, keynote and invited talks around the world. \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nAfter over 20 years of intense study\, there is not yet a compelling high entropy alloy (HEA) application. To explain this\, we hypothesize that a major fraction of HEAs are compositionally similar to many commercial alloys\, especially those based on 3d transition metals. We explore this hypothesis by characterizing commercial alloys from a high entropy perspective – we calculate their ideal configurational entropy and lattice distortion. We also calculate the compositional distances between nearly 1500 commercial alloys and HEAs. We conclude that the HEAs studied to date have not displaced commercial alloys because many of the former have sufficient compositional similarity to the latter. We also show that three principal elements are sufficient to achieve exceptional properties\, and that one of those elements typically reach concentrations as high as 75 at.%. To guide future work\, we highlight compositional areas as yet untouched by both conventional alloys and the HEA approach.

SUMMARY:ME 903 Graduate Seminar: Dustyn Roberts
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 Dustyn Roberts an associate professor at The University of Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nTitle: Turning Passions into Publications and Pedagogy: Bike Safety and Sustainable Engineering \n\n\n\nAbstract: How can teaching-focused faculty turn areas of interest into research and meaningful educational experiences? This talk explores that question through two examples: transportation safety and sustainable engineering. The first examines research on child passengers on adult bicycles\, where the available evidence is far thinner than prevailing practices and assumptions might suggest\, and how that work has informed a bicycle engineering course and a transportation systems course. The second examines efforts to integrate sustainability into engineering education through the Engineering for One Planet framework\, including an NSF-funded\, multi-department study. Together\, these examples illustrate ways of connecting engineering research\, educational scholarship\, and course development. \n\n\n\nBio: Dustyn is a Practice Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Her training\, professional experience\, and interests span mechanical\, biomedical\, and transportation engineering. She’s passionate about engineering education\, sustainability\, and bridging the gap between research and real-world impact through entrepreneurial thinking and translational work. Her work has been supported by organizations including NSF\, VentureWell\, ASEE\, and The Lemelson Foundation. She received her B.S. in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University\, her M.S. in Biomechanics & Movement Science from the University of Delaware\, and her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from New York University. She rides her cargo bike to work most days\, usually with one or more kids on the back.

SUMMARY:Midwest Mechanics Seminar: Professor Jeff Eldredge
DESCRIPTION:The Midwest 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). Professor Jeff Eldredge is professor and department chair at UCLA.  \n\n\n\nPresentation Title: That’s (probably) a gust! Stochastic estimation and control of disturbed aerodynamic flows \n\n\n\nAbstract: There is a wide variety of applications in which we may need knowledge of a transient flow disturbance\, but our only information comes from a few noisy sensors. For example\, small flight vehicles\, targeted for many emerging applications\, are more agile but also more strongly affected by unexpected disturbances (‘gusts’) than larger vehicles. The nonlinear aerodynamics of these gust encounters remains a principal challenge in controlling the vehicle’s flight. In particular\, any such flight control strategy is generally more effective if it can rely on an estimation of the vehicle’s current flow state from available sensors\, but also\, be aware of uncertainty of this state. In this talk\, I will discuss the dynamic estimation of disturbed flows from limited sensor data and the control of the flow with deep learning strategies. In the first part\, I will discuss aspects of the flow estimation problem within the framework of sequential filtering\, which allows us to easily assimilate streaming sensor data into dynamical models for the flow. In particular\, I will show how we can learn low-order models from data that fit nicely into this framework and enable fast flow estimation. In the examples I will show\, we use the estimation framework to predict the fluid dynamics of a separated aerodynamic flow subjected to a gust\, relying on a small number of surface pressure measurements to inform the model of the gust. I will then discuss the use of deep reinforcement learning to develop strategies for the mitigation of gust encounters\, based on available sensor data. \n\n\n\nBio: Jeff Eldredge is Professor and Department Chair of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, where he has served on the faculty since 2003. Prior to this\, he received his Ph.D. from Caltech\, followed by post-doctoral research at Cambridge University. His research interests lie broadly in computational and theoretical studies of fluid dynamics. He is the author of numerous papers\, as well as the book Mathematical Modeling of Unsteady Inviscid Flows. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, an Associate Fellow of AIAA\, and a recipient of the NSF CAREER award and the UCLA Distinguished Teaching award.
