This interactive negotiation role play will explore how communities, industry representatives, and public decision-makers navigate the complex choices surrounding data center development \u2014 from energy and water use to community impact and climate goals.\n\nParticipants will take on the roles of diverse stakeholders and explore whether and under what conditions a shared agreement is possible. Through this hands-on simulation, participants will practice moving beyond zero-sum thinking, framing issues strategically, building coalitions, and navigating compromise without sacrificing core priorities. The simulation recognizes that not everything is negotiable and reaching an agreement is not required. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the trade-offs, interests and power dynamics shaping this timely, local topic, along with practical collaboration and negotiation skills applicable in other settings.\n\nThe event is free and open to all U-M community member, but registration is required. Appetizers and refreshments provided.\n\nA note about participation: This is a skills-building exercise intended to foster learning across different perspectives and does not advocate, promote, or endorse any particular position, policy, company, or project. Please note that this event is not related to the U-M LANL which will be hosting a town hall the same day in Ypsi.

However, BCIs are not yet available as a commercial assistive technology. Dr. Huggins' University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface Laboratory focuses on making BCIs practical for people who need them. This involves identifying and solving usability issues that others have overlooked. Our BCI includes expanding capabilities to access commercial software and provides usability features designed for real-world, user-paced communication. Our in-home clinical trials and laboratory testing of BCI with real-world tasks have identified additional challenges that must be overcome to expand BCI availability and usability so that BCI can become a standard of care for those with the most profound physical disabilities. \n\nBio:\nDr. Huggins is trained in Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering with degrees from Carnegie Mellon and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She completed a clinical Rehabilitation Engineering Internship. She co-founded the University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface Laboratory and has led it since 2007. Her current focus is making EEG-based brain-computer interfaces practical for people who need them. Outside the lab, Dr. Huggins enjoys knitting, birdwatching, genealogy, cooking for her husband, and being Mom to her college-age children.\n\nDr. Huggins was a founding member of the board of directors of the Brain-Computer Interface Society. She has a patent on the BCI hold-release algorithm and BCI use for multiple choice tests. Dr. Huggins\u2019 research has received grant funding from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation, the Mildred E. Swanson Foundation, the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Prentke Romich Company, and funding from General Motors.", "occurrence_notes":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/98302088175", "guid":"152255-21913442@events.umich.edu",

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 } }
