SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gröbner Bases and Sudoku
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will see how the problem of solving a sudoku algebraically+algorithmically can motivate the notion of Gröbner Bases. We will see how this motivating example relates to the algebraic definition of Gröbner bases and some of their useful properties. Time permitting\, we will see this put in practice by having mathematica solve a (potentially extremely simple) sudoku.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Electrocatalysis for Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing and Defluorination of Forever Chemicals
DESCRIPTION:Electrocatalysis presents a transformative opportunity for producing chemicals and consumer goods sustainably by replacing fossil fuel-based processes with energy-efficient technologies powered by renewable sources. This method also shows significant promise in addressing the global challenge of remediating per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. Viable electrocatalytic processes must use nonprecious materials\, operate in aqueous environments\, consume minimal energy\, and effectively eliminate harmful chemicals\, necessitating a deep understanding of mechanisms and the strategic design of nanocatalysts with controlled properties.\n\nOur research employs pulsed laser in liquids synthesis to develop nanocatalysts with precise surface chemistries\, facilitating a quantitative understanding of electrocatalytic processes\, especially within the electrode microenvironment. We have demonstrated that laser-made earth-abundant mixed-metal nanocatalysts on high-surface-area carbon supports can selectively electrooxidize toluene to benzyl alcohol with high activity. Additionally\, we achieved complete defluorination of various PFAS in aqueous electrolytes using laser-synthesized bimetallic nanocatalysts.\n\nThe unifying theme of our group is to advance the design and fabrication of nanocatalysts for the electrocatalytic generation of reactive species from water\, aimed at sustainable applications. This work is based on a detailed atomistic understanding of catalyst materials\, electrode microenvironments\, and electrocatalytic mechanisms\, with the ultimate goal of promoting environmentally friendly and scalable solutions for chemical manufacturing and water remediation.

SUMMARY:Presentation:International Studies Virtual Information Session and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This information session will be held virtually ET through Zoom. This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.\n   \n   Register at: https://myumi.ch/ZDmbQ\n   \n   Students considering a major or minor in International Studies are strongly encouraged to attend an International Studies Information Session and Q&A. The International Studies program coordinator will discuss:\n   \n   • Prerequisites\n   • Major and minor requirements\n   • Sub-plans\n   • How to declare\n   • Additional majors and minors offered at the International Institute\n   • Study abroad\, grants\, and internships\n   • Relevance of an International Studies major or minor\n   \n   Undeclared students should plan to attend an International Studies Information Session and Q&A. A half-hour presentation will be followed by questions and discussion. For dates of all upcoming sessions\, please review the PICS event calendar. If you have questions\, please email is-michigan@umich.edu.\n   \n   Parents and prospective students are welcome. For more information\, please email is-michigan@umich.edu. Prospective students who would like to receive correspondence about International Studies related orientations\, events\, and special announcements should sign up for the International Studies Prospective Student email list: https://myumi.ch/29DWZ\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at is-michigan@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
