“Controlling Electrochemistry using Electrolyte Design”

ABSTRACT
To accelerate the electrification of transport, batteries based on a lithium metal anode and an oxygen/sulfur-based cathode with high energy densities have elicited great interest. However, electrolyte selection and degradation has limited the maximal energy that can be extracted, and reduced cycle life. In this talk, I will discuss my work on developing small molecule and polymer-based composite electrolytes that can decouple instability from ionic transport. I show novel ionic transport processes within these electrolyte architectures, and their ability to control electrochemical reactions at both the negative and positive electrode surfaces. Firstly, a gel polymer electrolyte is designed to control the oxygen reduction pathway in a lithium-air battery, and secondly, a small molecule electrolyte mixture is designed to reduce the overpotentials required for lithium metal deposition and stripping. Using the electrolyte to control electrochemical reactions provides an additional knob for the design of high energy density systems.

“Imitating Nature’s Gentle Approach: Molecular Engineering of Soft Materials for Energy and Sensing”

ABSTRACT

While conventional electronic devices are composed of hard materials, the pliability and chemical reactivity of soft organic materials may afford new solutions to pressing scientific challenges for applications in energy and environmental monitoring. Here, I will present two examples of molecular engineering of soft materials for (1) mechanically robust organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and (2) bioinspired chemical sensors. OPVs hold promises to produce devices with performance approaching that of silicon-based electronics, but with the mechanical stability of conventional plastics. However, obtaining both “plastic” deformability and high energy conversion efficiency has proven challenging. I will discuss the relationships between mechanical compliance and charge transport in polymeric systems, and the rational design principles that lead to intrinsically stretchable OPVs, allowing for the co-optimization toward the “best of both worlds.” In addition, I will discuss the fabrications of chemical sensors based on complex liquid colloids. These dynamic, multicomponent emulsions behave as a natural sensor with reconfigurable morphologies that are extremely sensitive to the chemical environment. Specifically, their unique coupling between chemical, morphological, and optical properties can be leveraged to detect different classes of biomolecules. These nature-inspired examples serve as an important step in demonstrating the possibility of translating chemical principles to practical devices.

“Advanced Polymeric Materials for Water and Energy Applications: Relating Molecular Structure to Macroscopic Properties”

ABSTRACT

Securing adequate, sustainable supplies of energy and water at affordable costs is an enormous challenge facing humanity. Due to the interconnected relationship between these two vital resources, often termed the Water-Energy Nexus, a shortcoming in one could negatively impact the availability of the other. Technologies based on polymeric materials (e.g., membranes and sorbents) will play a key role in addressing our water and energy needs due to their efficiency, simplicity, and small footprint. The success of such technologies hinges on developing new materials with improved functionality. However, despite a longstanding interest in this research area, significant fundamental and practical challenges remain. This presentation will focus on two such challenges: (1) the lack of fundamental understanding of the influence of polymer structure on ion/water transport in dense polymer membranes and (2) the need for materials with exceptional selectivity for neutral contaminants (e.g., boron) that are ubiquitous in natural waters and difficult to remove with conventional technologies.

The first part of the presentation will introduce a theoretical, unifying framework for ion partitioning and diffusion in ion exchange membranes (IEMs), a class of materials that has attracted significant interest for various membrane-based technologies. The framework, based on counter-ion condensation theory for polyelectrolyte solutions, accurately predicted ion transport properties of IEMs from basic structural knowledge, in some cases with no adjustable parameters. The experimental and modeling results elucidate key membrane structural properties that influence ion transport in IEMs and provide guidance on how to rationally design high performance materials. The second part of the presentation will describe the synthesis of novel porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with specific functionality for removing boron from aqueous solutions. Due to their exceptionally high porosity and robust chemical structures, the PAFs exhibited high boron adsorption capacities, remarkably fast kinetics, and good reusability. Notably, the boron-selective PAFs removed trace amounts of boron from synthetic seawater solutions at unprecedented rates, demonstrating the promise of this relatively new class of microporous polymers for water treatment applications.

ABSTRACT
“Towards a Holistic Understanding of Cellular Metabolism”

Measuring intracellular fluxes by 13C metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) has become a key activity in metabolic engineering, biotechnology and medicine. Here, I will present important new advances that have extended the scope of this technology to more complex biological systems, including dynamic, interacting, and evolving systems. One of the key 13C-MFA technical advances that was pioneered in our lab centers on the use of parallel labeling experiments for metabolic pathway discovery. In this presentation, I will describe several surprising new metabolic pathways that we have discovered in central carbon metabolism in microbes, including E. coli, as well as mammalian cells using this new powerful technology. These metabolic pathways have been ”hidden” from our view so far because they cannot be estimated using traditional experiments. Only through the use of carefully selected tracers and parallel labeling experiments are we able to visualize these pathways. Applications in cancer medicine, phermaceutical production, and synthetic biology will be discussed.

ABSTRACT: The millimeter-wave frequency spectrum is in increasing demand for wireless applications including communication and radar. Nitrogen-polar GaN devices at UCSB have now shown transformative performance with record-breaking power density of 8 W/mm and excellent efficiency in the W-band (75-110 GHz) frequency range. This talk will discuss some of UCSB's work on deep recess N-polar GaN MISHEMTs which has enabled this performance. The focus will be on this researcher's contribution to UCSB's N-polar GaN device program which has been to develop new methods to characterize and model these devices in a way which provides quick and insightful feedback for designing improved devices. This is achieved by providing unambiguous evaluations of large-signal performance by load pull at extremely high frequency, and using accurately extracted equivalent circuit models to identify which specific aspects of the device can be adjusted to realize improvements in performance. These methods led to improvement in the efficiency at 94 GHz from 17% to 28%, while the power density was increased to 8 W/mm. New characterization and modeling techniques are underway to understand and improve the linearity of the device, because distortion in amplifiers is of increasing importance for complex digital modulation schemes employed in modern communication systems.

ABSTRACT

Bioengineered 3D kidney tissues that emulate human responses could potentially lead a revolution in drug safety testing and ultimately solve organ donor shortage issues. Unfortunately, current kidney-on-chip models lack the 3D geometry, complexity, and functionality necessary to recapitulate in vivo renal tissue. In this talk, I will discuss how we address these engineering challenges by creating 3D vascularized kidney tubule models via multimaterial bioprinting and characterizing their reabsorption properties. In particular, I will discuss how we engineer the flow property and biocompatibility of different soft materials to construct adjacent conduits that are lined with confluent epithelium and endothelium embedded in a permeable extracellular matrix. This 3D kidney model closely mimics the native microenvironment, and thus exhibits superior cell behavior with active reabsorption of solutes including albumin uptake and glucose. Lastly, I will show a few examples of how our model enables toxicity studies and disease modeling that have been difficult to conduct using conventional in vitro systems.

Title: Shedding Light on Pain Therapeutics: From Externally-Triggerable Drug Delivery Systems to Bioelectronics

ABSTRACT
Current treatments of pain heavily rely on opioids, resulting in significant side effects such as addiction, tolerance, leading to the Opioid Overdose Crisis as we know of today. Smart drug delivery systems may provide an effective solution. Here I present the development of externally-triggerable drug delivery systems for on-demand, repeatable and adjustable local anesthesia, where the timing, duration, and intensity of nerve block can be controlled through external energy triggers such as light and ultrasound. In addition to traditional pharmacological approaches, bioelectronic platforms to enhance our insights into the diagnostics and mechanisms of pain and will also be discussed. Through pharmacological, optical, and electrical toolsets, we aim to develop effective therapeutic solutions to neurological disease states.

SHORT BIO

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

The demand for lightweighting of our infrastructure and transportation equipment has seen a significant growth the last two decades; this need is expected to increase as reduction of carbon footprint and energy consumption will be major drivers in the decades ahead. Aluminum has played a pivotal role in this lightweighting movement and will continue to do so. There is a need for high performance Al alloys such as enhanced modulus, usage at elevated temperatures, and damage resistant alloys, etc. In this presentation a retrospective and a prospective view of alloy design for Al will be reviewed and discussed.

Diran Apelian is the Alcoa-Howmet Professor of Engineering and Founding Director of the Metal Processing Institute (MPI) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). He is also Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.

Distinguished Alumni Lecture: "25 Years of Ceramic Research, Teaching, and Service: A Look at Life’s Decisions that Create a Past but Lead to the Present" (October 25, 2019 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68648 68648-17130515@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 25, 2019 10:30am
Location: Herbert H. Dow Building
Organized By: Materials Science and Engineering

My goal for the first part of this seminar is to take you on my journey through the field of materials science and engineering, from the day that I discovered this amazing field to today. Together, we will briefly overview the tough decisions that life throws at us, often in unexpected ways; we will discuss what “work hard, play hard” means and why that’s at least one proven method for how to approach a reasonable work/life balance; and we will discuss why you should give back to the professional organizations that support you.

The remainder of the presentation will focus on the current research in my group, concentrating largely on ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs). UHTCs are an emerging class of structural materials capable of withstanding extreme environments, which is allowing them to be used in applications ranging from hypersonic flight and rocket propulsion to advanced nuclear reactors, electrodes for metal production, and more. These applications involve temperatures, heat fluxes, radiation levels, strain rates, chemical reactivities, or other stresses that are beyond the capabilities of existing materials. This presentation will review recent research on UHTCs, focusing on mechanical and thermal behavior at temperatures up to 2000°C, or higher. The presentation will overview the MS and PhD research of the current graduate students in the group and take a deeper dive into one or two key projects related to improving the elevated temperature thermal and mechanical properties of boride and carbide based UHTCs. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of some emerging trends and future needs.

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.
