Yet a critical challenge in transitioning fuel supply chains is the vast landscape of possible technology development pathways and the lack of transparent, consistent frameworks to target research and investment. This presentation will introduce quantitative sustainable design (QSD), a framework for prioritizing research, development, and deployment pathways for emerging technologies. QSD integrates process design and simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle assessment under uncertainty to identify the factors governing sustainability, quantify performance gaps, establish actionable research targets, and guide technology and system design. Examples from the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation will illustrate how QSD can inform the conversion of perennial grasses (including Miscanthus, switchgrass, and sugarcane) and agricultural residues into biofuels and bioproducts, with particular attention to sustainable aviation fuel. By connecting process-scale analyses with broader infrastructure and spatial models, we also evaluate where and how these technologies could be deployed, including opportunities to integrate low-carbon fuel production with existing infrastructure and strategically site bioenergy facilities. Together, these examples demonstrate how transparent, systems-level analysis can direct innovation and investment toward energy solutions that are technically feasible, financially viable, environmentally beneficial, and responsive to broader societal goals.\n\nBiography:\nDr. Jeremy Guest is the Department Head and David C. Crawford Faculty Scholar in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He also holds an appointment (by courtesy) as a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The core goal of Professor Guest\u2019s research group is to advance circular bioeconomies for a more sustainable and just future. His team supports this vision by developing computational models to prioritize research, development, and deployment pathways for new technologies that achieve resource recovery from wastewaters and the conversion of plants to products, food, and fuels. Professor Guest\u2019s formal training includes a B.S. and M.S. in civil engineering from Bucknell University and Virginia Tech, respectively, and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Michigan.\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location, please check the related link the week of this event", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147944-21902579@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147944", "building_id":"1000395", "building_name":"Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building", "campus_maps_id":"17", "room":"FXB1012", "location_name":"Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["CAEN","Civil and Environmental Engineering","Electrical Engineering and Computer Science","Energy","Engineering","Environment","Free","Industrial and Operations Engineering","Interdisciplinary","Law","Materials Science","Mechanical Engineering","Michigan Engineering","Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering","North Campus","Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences","Research","Science","seminar","Social Sciences","Sustainability"], "website":"https:\/\/ies.engin.umich.edu\/energy-seminar-series\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Institute for Energy Solutions", "group_id":"5361", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_147944_original-1.bmp" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902579 } , "151542-21911709": { "datetime_modified":"20260908T113003", "datetime_start":"20261001T160000", "datetime_end":"20261001T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-01", "date_end":"2026-10-01", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Enhancing biological datasets using artificial intelligence", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Enhancing biological datasets using artificial intelligence: Bryan Carstens, Ohio State University", "event_subtitle":"Bryan Carstens, Ohio State University", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Seminar summary - Biological data have expanded in breadth and depth over the last decade, leading to larger datasets that hold the potential to answer questions at greater resolution.

They tried to make sense of the ever-escalating destruction of Gaza, and to engage in the difficult task of imagining what the future could look like.\n\nNow, two years after the \u201cImagining Palestine-Israel\u201d scholarly initiative started, amidst a US and Israeli-led war on Iran and its subsidiary front with Lebanon, the questions we raised back in 2024 are even more relevant.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150445-21909459@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150445", "building_id":"1000172", "building_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "campus_maps_id":"71", "room":"West Conference Room (Fourth Floor)", "location_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Conversation","Dialogue","Discussion","Middle East","Middle East Studies"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/middleeast", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Middle East Studies", "group_id":"1927", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/middleeast" }, { "group_name":"Judaic Studies", "group_id":"1059", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Comparative Literature", "group_id":"1103", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150445_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21909459 } , "141040-21913438": { "datetime_modified":"20260928T171122", "datetime_start":"20261001T160000", "datetime_end":"20261001T171500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-01", "date_end":"2026-10-01", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:15:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"LSA Transfer Information Session", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"LSA Transfer Information Session: For students planning to apply to LSA as a transfer student.", "event_subtitle":"For students planning to apply to LSA as a transfer student.", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Join the LSA Transfer Recruitment Team for our virtual sessions where we will discuss LSA requirements, transfer credit, pre-transfer academic advising, LSA opportunities and other transfer tidbits.\r\n\r\nRegistration is required.
