SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan October Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description:\nThis Coffee Talk covers the development of Michigan's comprehensive maritime strategy\, designed to promote greening\, electrification\, decarbonization\, equity\, environmental justice\, infrastructure improvements\, and sustainability within the state's maritime sector\, while ensuring the efficient movement of goods. The focus encompasses commercial shipping\, ferries\, and recreational boating. Additionally\, the strategy advocates for the sustainable development of commercial ports and recreational harbors throughout Michigan. The presentation will detail the stakeholder mapping and engagement process\, the needs assessment\, including an in-person workshop\, and the final strategy and implementation plan. Combined with other state initiatives and regional and national efforts\, this strategy and plan aim to support the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.\n\nAbout the Speaker:Thomas McKenney\, Associate Professor of Engineering Practice\, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering\, College of Engineering\n\nThomas McKenney is an Associate Professor of Engineering Practice in the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. He directs a research laboratory in sustainable shipping\, maritime decarbonization\, and ship design. He also leads the development of a decarbonization education portfolio and manages collaborations with top industry centers and initiatives.\n\nThomas was previously Head of Ship Design at the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (Center) in Copenhagen\, a not-for-profit independent research and development (R&D) center with the vision to sustainably decarbonize the maritime industry by 2050. He was responsible for ship design activities within an active portfolio of over 50 R&D projects related to maritime sustainability and decarbonization\, including alternative fuel pathways and ship technologies. Before joining the Center in 2021\, he held various positions at Royal Caribbean Group\, where he was the technical and project manager of $1 billion first-in-class cruise ship design and construction projects. Thomas holds four degrees from the University of Michigan\, including a Ph.D. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.\n\nAbout Water@Michigan Coffee Talks: \nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity for U-M faculty\, staff\, and students interested in water\, and water-interested people in southeast Michigan to connect with colleagues\, learn about pressing and/or emerging water-related issues\, and meet new partners.\n\nThis academic year\, we are excited to explore the intersection of water + energy and what this nexus means to U-M researchers\, institutes\, and external partners. Please fill out the linked form below to RSVP for the fall series. Upon registration\, you will receive a calendar invite from Sarah Miller (milsar@umich.edu) with meeting-specific information.\n\nCoffee Talks are in-person convenings designed to build connections as part of the U-M Water Center's mission and programs\; we are not recording sessions at this time.\n\nPlease register here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Incorporating Software into Medical Devices
DESCRIPTION:Software is being incorporated into innovative medical devices ranging from wearables\, telehealth and clinical decision support to robotics and software as a medical device (SaMD). In 2023 alone\, the FDA added 171 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)-Enabled Medical Devices to the approval list. How can researchers be sure to protect both the copyrightable and patentable subject matter to create an attractive industry partnership or licensing opportunity? Join the session to learn about the types of medical devices that incorporate software\, rules of thumb for which categories fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA\, how to find patent counsel that can best assist with protecting multiple types of IP\, and ways to structure licenses to commercialize MedTech technologies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Simion Filip- Measure and Topological Rigidity Beyond Homogeneous Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: To study the asymptotic behavior of orbits of a dynamical system\, one can look at orbit closures or invariant measures. When the underlying system has a homogeneous structure\, usually coming from a Lie group\, with appropriate assumptions a wide range of rigidity theorems show that ergodic invariant measures and orbit closures have to be well-behaved and can often be classified. I will describe joint work with Brown\, Eskin\, and Rodriguez Hertz\, which establishes rigidity results for quite general smooth dynamical systems having some hyperbolicity. I will also explain some of the necessary assumptions as well as the homogeneous structures that emerge.\n\nBio: Simion Filip received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 2016 under the supervision of Alex Eskin. After spending several years as a Clay Fellow at Harvard and the Institute for Advanced Study\, he has been on the faculty of the University of Chicago since 2019. His research is concerned with the interactions between dynamical systems and geometry\, particularly complex and algebraic geometry.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:New Approaches to Characterise the Surface and Bulk Compositions of Picoliter Droplets
DESCRIPTION:Aerosols are unique microcompartments central to areas as diverse as climate and air pollution\, disease transmission\, and chemical synthesis. Resolving their roles in each of these areas is challenging. For instance\, the surface composition of aerosol droplets is key to predicting cloud droplet number concentrations\, understanding atmospheric pollutant transformation\, and interpreting observations of accelerated droplet chemistry. However\, direct measurement of the surface properties of aerosol droplets is challenging\, even though such measurements are necessary\, as surface-bulk partitioning is strongly affected by the droplet’s surface area-to-volume ratio. In this presentation\, we will discuss new advances to characterise the equilibrium and dynamic surface properties of picolitre volume droplets\, gaining important insights that bear directly on our understanding of how cloud droplets form in the atmosphere and how chemical reactions may proceed in finite-volume systems. We will also describe a new mass spectrometry approach enabling sensitive\, high throughput chemical analysis of picolitre droplets\, facilitating more robust studies of the factors governing chemical reactivity in microcompartments.
