This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

Velocity Selective Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Imaging at 3T and 7T (December 10, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58023 58023-14392479@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 3:00pm

Purpose: Hemodynamic parameters, such as perfusion, are key indicators of organ function. Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) allows us to perform perfusion measurements without injection of exogenous tracers. The Purpose of this thesis is to implement and improve a Fourier-Transform based Velocity Selective Inversion (FT-VSI) pulse train for Velocity-Selective Arterial Spin Labeling (VSASL) on a 7 T Scanner. Additionally, to perform Abdominal perfusion Imaging using VSASL on a 3T Scanner.



Methods: The FT-VSI was calibrated and simulated to check for velocity profiles. It's sensitivities to B0/B1 inhomogeneity and gradient imperfections such as eddy currents were evaluated through phantom studies. A flow phantom was used to test for inversion efficiency . At 3T, a velocity selective saturation(VSS) pulse was used to image Kidney and Spinal Cord blood perfusion. The tracer kinetic properties of VSS pulses for renal and spinal cord perfusion were characterized.



Results: Phantom results of the proposed FT-VSI pulse train demonstrated high correlation to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. A high T2* decay was observed at 7T. Through Simulations, the FT-VSI was improved for higher velocity selectivity and shorter length of pulse to counteract this decay. Eddy current effects were highly controllable by introducing gaps between consecutive gradient pulses. At 3T, ASL images collected at various labeling delays after the VSS pulse. ASL values such as blood volume(BV), Blood Flow(BF), Bolus Arterial Transit time (ATT) and bolus width were estimated by fitting a two compartment models. The Kidney perfusion values (Medulla and cortex) were in agreement with literature values. Although Lower perfusion and blood volume in the spinal cord resulted in poor fits, Spinal cord flow noticeably did not experience a delay in the label arrival



Conclusion: A FT-VSI pulse train was demonstrated on a 7T to be a suitable labeling module for VSASL with robustness of velocity selective profile to gradient imperfections but not to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. Application of velocity selective pulses for abdominal imaging were demonstrated at 3T.

Home health care (HHC) has become popular and attracted substantial attention from researchers and practitioners due to its major advantages over traditional ways of treatment. One of the primary advantages of HHC is the quality of care. In HHC, a patient receives one-on-one attention, whereas in a typical health unit, a single staff is usually responsible for caring multiple patients. Another advantage of HHC is the cost. For example, cost to care terminally ill patients in an acute-care hospital is estimated to be 40% more expensive than cost of the same care in a hospital-based palliative-care unit and over 10 times more expensive than HHC. In 2012, over 2.2 million Canadians received some levels of HHC services. HHC has become a pressing issue for healthcare policy makers both in Canada and around the world, especially with an aging population. Providing a HHC service comes with many challenges. For example, caregivers travel times are significant as reports show that caregivers in the US have travelled twice the distance of UPS delivery drivers in 2010. One of the biggest challenges in HHC is to match caregivers and patients and come up with a good scheduled that is feasible, cost efficient and acceptable for medial and patient needs. One way to overcome these challenges is to use mathematical modelling and generate least costly schedules that will determine caregiver to patient assignments and routing of caregivers by considering constraints of the system. In this talk, we will describe the challenges and present of some of our projects in HHC scheduling.

This talk is based on joint works with Bahman Naderi, Gregory S. Zaric and Vahid Roshanaei.

Mehmet A. Begen is an associate professor of management science in the Ivey Business School at the Western University. Besides Ivey, he is cross-appointed at the departments of Statistical & Actuarial Sciences and Epidemiology & Biostatistics at the Western. Mehmet's research interests are management science/analytics applications, data-driven approaches and in particular scheduling and operations management in healthcare. He is a Certified Analytics Professional (CAP), worked in management consulting before his PhD studies and is a recipient of Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS) Practice Prize. Mehmet is currently serving as the president of CORS and visiting Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan for his sabbatical.

The seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary, systems-engineering approach.

Therapeutic benefit of scaffolds that capture metastatic tumor cells in vivo (December 11, 2018 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/57815 57815-14314713@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 11, 2018 10:00am

For most cancers, the formation of distant metastasis is the point at which clinical treatment shifts from curative intent to extending progression free survival. Physicians are currently unable to diagnose metastasis until disseminated tumor cells affect the function of a target organ as a secondary tumor. This dissertation describes a novel approach where implantable biomaterial scaffolds are used to recruit metastatic tumor cells for early detection prior to colonization of solid organs. This recruitment of tumor cells to a defined site can not only serve as a platform for detection, but can also have therapeutic effects and be used as a platform to study metastatic processes. This dissertation describes work in each of these three areas including using an implantable biomaterial scaffold for early detection, therapeutic benefit, and a platform to study metastasis. The therapeutic benefit of scaffolds was demonstrated by scaffold implantation significantly enhancing disease-free survival in a murine model of triple negative breast cancer. Myeloid derived suppressor cells were the key population of immune cells whose capture at the scaffold and reduction in the spleen and primary tumor lead to enhanced survival. In an effort to probe the contributions of various immune cell types to the formation and maintenance of the pre-metastatic and metastatic niche in vivo, a gene delivery approach was utilized to alter the immune microenvironment of the scaffold and investigate the recruitment of tumor cells, finding reduced immune and tumor cell recruitment with IL-10 delivery and developing a model of tumor cell recruitment that is dependent upon the proportion of each immune cell type in the niche. Additional efforts to use the scaffold to study metastasis included studying scaffold captured tumor cells relative to tumor cells derived from other locations. Scaffold captured tumor cells were a highly aggressive population of metastatic tumor cells similar to those found in a metastatic lung, underscoring the use of the scaffold as a sampling location for metastatic disease that is reflective of tumor cell phenotype in solid organs. Next, biomaterial scaffolds were also validated in transgenic models of both breast and pancreatic cancer to identify immune dysregulation as a function of tumor burden, recruit tumor cells, and to reduce tumor burden. Finally, non-invasive ultrasound imaging and subsequent spectral analysis techniques were applied to identify changes in the scaffold associated with tumor burden and tumor cell recruitment. Taken together, this body of work supports that the implantable biomaterial scaffold technology provides a robust and novel approach for the early detection of metastatic disease in both breast and pancreatic cancer, therapy to divert both pre-metastatic niche forming immune cells and tumor cells themselves to an ectopic site and away from solid organs, and as a platform to study mechanisms of the pre-metastatic niche and metastasis.

We will be hosting the first-ever CoE Multicultural Potluck. Within Michigan's CoE we're fortunate to have great diversity, but there are seldom opportunities for us students to share our cultures with each other. With this event, we invite students to share a very important aspect of their culture...

FOOD!


Students are encouraged to prepare and bring in dishes from any culture they want and share those dishes potluck-style by giving out samples. Here, we're taking a flexible view of what culture means. It could mean food from a certain region or nation, or just food that you're excited about and want to share with others.

If you are interested in the prospect of bringing or preparing a taste of your culture (or a culture you're fond of!) then please check out the following Google Sheet and consider booking a spot. You bring the food, and we'll take care of the rest!

https://docs.google.com/a/umich.edu/spreadsheets/d/10T_L9A5RUNHyHVa6_xW9_8VERHnQjhgXrdI0Q7bWqD4/edit?usp=drive_web

Of course, you don't need to bring food to participate. If you still want to attend but don't want to bring any food, please RSVP at the following link. RSVP will be required to attend so we can plan resources accordingly.

Ken Powell
Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and DEI Faculty Liaison
Aerospace Engineering, UM

The other talks this semester will be based on research in Aerospace Sciences and Engineering. This talk is based on research in the Social Sciences - particularly Psychology, Sociology, Economics - and how it applies to education and careers in aerospace engineering.

For the past five years, I have been part of a group of Michigan professors who read this social science literature, and meet to discuss its implications on academic careers - teaching, research, service and hiring of faculty. We also give talks about why and how to improve diversity in faculty hiring to faculty throughout the university, department chairs and deans, and faculty at other universities.

In this talk, I will present some classical and recent social science research about issues that affect our ability to hire and retain a diverse and excellent faculty, particularly in STEM fields, and especially in aerospace engineering. Topics will include implicit bias, stereotype threat, accumulation of disadvantage, and some of the steps we are taking as a university to improve the composition of the faculty. I will also present data about the demographics of the aerospace field, and give you some strategies for being a part of the much-needed solution to Aerospace's diversity challenges.

About the speaker...

We stand on the brink of the new knowledge revolution.

As the quantity of knowledge has exploded exponentially, the current means for representing knowledge—words and pictures that must be interpreted by humans—have reached their limits. Our ability to use the ever-growing body of scientific, biomedical knowledge rests on efforts to transform how knowledge is expressed into abstract models that can inform action through computation.

This persistent computable knowledge is the “Keystone” that holds the Learning Cycle Together. At the LHS Collaboratory Seminar Series event on Tuesday, January 15, learn about the movement underway to promote the advancement of computable biomedical knowledge. Join Rachel Richesson, PhD, MPH, from Duke University, along with colleagues from the University of Michigan to hear more about the movement and ways to join the community!

The boundary layer state (e.g. laminar, turbulent, or transitional) is a critically important factor in hypersonic vehicle design, with profound effects on heat flux, skin friction, drag, and control characteristics. In particular, higher thermal loads, by a factor of four or more, may result from the increased heat transfer due to turbulent flow. Nevertheless, hypervelocity boundary layer transition remains difficult to simulate or predict, especially under realistic flight conditions, and the mechanisms leading to instability are not well understood for many flow regimes.

In this seminar, I present results from experimental and computational investigations focused on bridging the gap between ground-based aerodynamic experiments and the external aerodynamics of hypersonic flight. First, I discuss a fundamental problem in compressible real-gas flow: measuring and characterizing the laminar to turbulent transition process in boundary layer flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium at high enthalpy. In this flow regime, where the second or Mack mode instability dominates for slender, cold-wall cases, nonequilibrium effects for certain species (in our work, carbon dioxide) can actually suppress transition through the absorption of energy from acoustic disturbances through vibrational relaxation. We measure the propagation and growth of turbulent spots within the boundary layer, characterize transition delay for flows in air with increasing mass fractions of carbon dioxide, and also investigate the efficacy of gas injection mechanisms into the hypervelocity boundary layer for inhibiting second mode transition. Finally, recent results relevant to current challenges in hypersonics research are surveyed, including a computational re-assessment of a landmark study on blunt-body transition, hypersonic facility design and optimization, and non-intrusive optical measurement techniques.

Cells use circuits of interacting molecules to sense, process, and respond to signals. In mammalian synthetic biology, we try to emulate that with synthetic molecular circuits and program new cellular functions, which holds great promise for basic research and biomedicine. Synthetic circuits have largely relied on gene regulation and especially transcriptional control. However, many natural pathways operate at the post-translational level, and synthetic protein circuits could offer advantages such as faster operation, direct coupling to more signaling pathways, and compact encoding on a single transcript. Having already engineered proteases into building blocks for protein circuits, I will continue to perfect the platform in four key directions. I will establish more sensors that transduce diverse endogenous inputs into protease activity, enhance the signal processing power of my protease circuits, develop an accompanying RNA viral vector for safe and non-mutagenic delivery where protease circuits serve as both the "driver" and the "passenger", and validate and optimize my therapeutic circuits in more cancer-relevant models. I envision a general-purpose platform (i.e., “programming language”) for the rational design, robust implementation, and safe delivery of mammalian synthetic circuits that will facilitate both basic research and biomedical applications.

Abstract
“Those diseases that medicines do not cure are cured by the knife. Those that the knife does not cure are cured by fire. Those that fire does not cure, must be considered incurable.” Hippocrates in 370 BC made the first recorded mention of the use of heat as a therapeutic. To this day, the effect of temperature on the body is of interest to clinicians, athletes, researchers, and perhaps anyone that has lived through Georgia summers or Michigan winters. The body maintains temperature homeostasis by the process of thermoregulation. The body’s ability to thermoregulate is an important coping mechanism to withstand various physiological states, such as fever, and environmental exposures such as the weather. The cardiovascular (CV) system plays a vital role in thermoregulation because of its influence on heat transfer via forced convection and conduction by changes in blood distribution, blood velocity, and proximity of tissues. It remains unclear how the allocation of blood in various compartments (such as the innermost core, fat, muscle, and skin) changes with temperature. Challenges in measuring core vasculature have resulted in a lack of empirical information regarding how it might change with core temperature. Therefore, to fully understand the CV system’s role in thermoregulation, this thesis focuses on using murine models to study the effect of temperature on core vasculature. The overall purpose is to provide a novel and physiologically accurate approach to studying thermoregulation by incorporating structural and functional changes in the CV system occurring in the core. Using murine models and MRI, we noninvasively quantified structural and functional vascular response in core arteries and veins to increasing core body temperature. We also studied the effects of sex and age on the CV response to increasing temperature. Using a PID-controlled heater to blow hot air across the animals, core temperature was controlled from mild hypothermia (35 °C) to mild hyperthermia (38 °C). At each temperature, we imaged three to four locations of the body from head-to-toe, and quantified blood flow and velocity, vessel area, and
measured circumferential cyclic strain of the core vessels. Overall, we have shown: 1) that increases in flow occur in most arteries and veins, which is opposite to current hypotheses regarding the venous response; 2) that the magnitude of increased flow varies based on anatomical location; and, 3) that the increase in flow sometimes involves cross-sectional area and velocity and other times involves only one or the other. These vascular responses are also influenced by sex and age. It is important to incorporate the cardiovascular changes occurring in the core into future bioheat or computational fluid dynamics modeling because blood flow is critical in heat
generation and transfer in vivo. This research can help researchers, clinicians, and others interested in temperature’s effect to better model and predict cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
After decades of shifting production offshore to reduce labor costs, the United States has lost fundamental production skill and capabilities—the Industrial Commons—in many industries, with noticeable impacts on the ability to manufacture new advanced technology products, the national innovation system and growing adverse effects on the defense industrial base. Being the best in the world in science is important—but it’s not sufficient to create national wealth and security. We need a national strategy and investment to convert research results into successful products made in the U.S. and competitive industrial sectors. This talk will highlight the findings and recommendations made in the MForesight’s Manufacturing Prosperity report. The talk will also present a case for establishing a National Manufacturing Foundation for sustained new investment in translational R&D in engineering and manufacturing disciplines, pilot production, empowering small and medium sized manufacturers and growing the engineering talent.

MForesight: Alliance for Manufacturing Foresight, based at the University of Michigan, is a federally-funded national consortium (think-and-do tank) focused on accelerating technological innovation to enhance U.S. manufacturing competitiveness

Chair's Distinguished Lecture - Incorporating SLAM Methods and Error Correction for Accurate, Scalable Autonomous Assembly of Space Structures (January 24, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59277 59277-14728140@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 24, 2019 4:00pm

Erik Komendera, Ph.D., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

In the field, autonomous structure assembly is an unsolved problem dominated by uncertainty in the agents, components, sensors, and environment. Inadequate solutions to this problem have prevented the practical adoption of autonomous assembly in the field, which would enable improvements in safety, reduction in costs, and more ambitious concepts such as large space telescopes. Accurate state estimation, and a capacity to correct errors, will be crucial to enabling practical field assembly, especially for structures such as space telescopes that require sub-mm accuracy over tens of meters. Uncorrected assembly experiences polynomial error growth stemming from sources including tolerances and manufacturing errors. By modeling structure assembly as a Bayesian process, estimation methods can be applied to the assembly graph to improve accuracy. In recent research, Dr. Komendera has developed an approach that adapts Simultaneous Localization and Mapping methods and local error correction onto an evolving assembly workspace modeled as a dynamic Bayesian network. This approach enables accurate, scalable, parallelizable construction without assuming perfect sensors or requiring a global measurement system. This talk will describe the mathematical foundations of the assembly algorithm, its expected performance on backbone trusses and space telescope models, validation through hardware trials, and future research directions.

Abstract
By looking at molecules as individuals, single-molecule experiments can provide rich details that complement and deepen our understanding from bulk measurements. The ultimate goal of most single- molecule techniques is to reveal population-level or time-dependent heterogeneity in a system of interest by directly monitoring individual particles in a near-native environment. However, confining a single molecule within an observation volume for long enough to detect a small, noisy signal – without substantially perturbing that signal – is challenging, especially in situations where tethering particles in place may restrict throughput or directly change the sample’s behavior. Since nearly all molecules possess some native charge, electrophoretic forces that are generated by application of electric fields are an attractive option for manipulating particles without physical attachment. Similarly, the electric field- induced motion of ions in the double layer near the walls of a micro- or nanofluidic channel can induce electroosmotic flow, which imparts hydrodynamic forces that can be used to manipulate particles.


Here, I will present an overview of my recent work related to two unique single-molecule techniques that employ electric fields to enable control and precision measurements of single molecules and nanoscale particles in free solution. These strategies enable concurrent multi-parametric readout of the states of those objects, which then can be used to classify their nature and behaviors. First, I will discuss the use of static electric fields to draw charged biopolymers to and through small solid-state nanopores, which can be used to resistively sense variations in chemical or geometric structure along the length of the analyte molecule. Second, I will present results obtained via an Anti-Brownian Electrokinetic (ABEL) trap, a technique in which Brownian motion is directly counteracted by active electrophoretic or electroosmotic feedback to maintain the position of a single molecule within a small confocal region. Because single molecules can be trapped for many seconds each, high-precision fluorescence measurements can report on either static or dynamic heterogeneity in their structure and interactions.


Because these techniques utilize electrophoretic and electroosmotic forces, the native charge of the analyte or surrounding medium are sufficient to achieve tether-free nanoscale confinement of single molecules and nanoparticles, providing highly versatile sensing platforms to address both applied and basic biomedical, biophysical, and biochemical challenges.

Acoustical Methods for Cavitation Control in Shockwave Lithotripsy and Histotripsy (January 25, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59701 59701-14780081@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 25, 2019 10:00am
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

The overall goal of the work presented in this dissertation is to develop acoustic mechanisms to modulate, or manipulate, cavitation events in histotripsy and lithotripsy therapies in order to achieve efficient and fast histotripsy, high shock rate lithotripsy, and active tissue protection. We investigated the effects of applying properly tuned low pressure acoustic pulses before and during therapy in order to control the cavitation threshold, the shape of the resulting bubble cloud, and the behavior and interactions of residual microbubbles.



Histotripsy is a tissue ablation method that utilizes focused high amplitude ultrasound to generate a cavitation bubble cloud that mechanically fractionates tissue. Effective histotripsy depends on initiation, control, and maintenance of cavitation bubble clouds in the targeted area. The work in this dissertation seeks to develop active tissue protection techniques by modulating the pressure threshold of bubble cloud initiation and focal sharpening using bubble suppressing pulses. We demonstrated that by applying a properly tuned low pressure pulse sequence before and/or during shock scattering histotripsy therapy, both the cavitation initiation pressure threshold and the growth of the cavitation bubble can be modified. This mechanism can be used to produce well defined lesions with minimal collateral damage. It can also be a way to actively protect soft tissue from cavitation damage during both lithotripsy and histotripsy by increasing the pressure threshold for bubble cloud initiation in the periphery zone.



Cavitation also plays a significant role in the efficacy of stone comminution during shockwave lithotripsy (SWL). Although cavitation on the surface of urinary stones helps to improve stone fragmentation, cavitation bubbles along the propagation path may shield or block subsequent shockwaves and potentially induce collateral tissue damage. At low firing rates, there is sufficient time for the majority of the bubbles to passively dissolve, while at high firing rates the per shockwave efficacy is significantly reduced due to pre-focal persisting bubbles. We investigated acoustic methods for removing residual bubble nuclei in order to avoid shielding effects. Previous in vitro work has shown that applying low amplitude acoustic waves after each shockwave can force bubbles to consolidate and enhance SWL efficacy. In this work, the feasibility of applying acoustic bubble coalescence (ABC) in vivo was examined. We further optimized the parameters of bubble coalescing pulses, and conducted a feasibility investigation of bubble dispersion by forcing the residual bubble nuclei to disperse from the propagation path away or toward the targeted area before the arrival of the next therapy pulse. These results suggest that manipulation of residual bubbles after each shockwave can be further optimized by acoustic bubble coalescence and dispersion, which can reduce the shielding effect of residual bubble nuclei more efficiently than relying only on immediate coalescence of residual bubbles, resulting in a more efficient SWL treatment.

Organized By: ClimateBlue

Maanya is a second year master’s student at the University of Michigan School of Environment and Sustainability. As part of her master’s thesis, Maanya is looking at understanding various factors that influence farmers’ decisions in deciding sowing dates of rice in India and to what extent climate variability impacts these decisions. Prior to joining SEAS, Maanya studied the impact of climate change on the Himalayan glaciers. Broadly, she is interested in the field of climate change impacts on natural resources and their adaptive capacities. At COP24, she followed climate adaptation communication with respect to developing countries.

Tim is a senior in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts where he studies in the Program in the Environment (PitE) and Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). He is also pursuing minors in Energy Science and Policy and Urban Studies. Tim is particularly interested in understanding political barriers to developed countries’ adoption of market-based climate change mitigation strategies--including emissions trading and carbon pricing policies--at sub-national and national levels. He is currently preparing his undergraduate thesis on the role of environmental NGOs and pressure groups in advancing the mitigation efforts of European Union member states. At COP24, Tim followed talks on carbon markets and examined NGO influence strategies.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
In a joint presentation, Tim and Maanya will discuss anecdotes from COP24, tying their experiences and take-aways to the current US climate policy landscape and opportunities/challenges for future progress. Specifically, they will draw lessons from the negotiations on economic diversification, the just transition, and science-inclusive policy and direct suggestions towards US stakeholders which may be applied in local climate work.

Stanford University
“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.


SHORT BIO
Chibueze Amanchukwu is a TomKat Center Postdoctoral Fellow in Sustainable Energy at Stanford University. His expertise involves the study of ionic transport processes in electrolytes for energy storage applications. Under the supervision of professor Zhenan Bao at Stanford and in collaboration with professor Yi Cui, his work has focused on understanding ionic transport processes in small molecule electrolytes and controlling lithium metal deposition and stripping. During his PhD with professor Paula Hammond at MIT and collaboration with professor Yang Shao-Horn, he studied degradation processes and ionic transport in polymer electrolytes for lithium-air batteries. He is broadly interested in electrolytes and electrochemistry.

**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.

AAOSA-OSUM Seminar: All-Fiber-Integrated Super-Continuum Sources with High Power in the Visible and Infrared Wavelengths from 0.47 to 12 𝜇m (January 29, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60438 60438-14886068@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building
Organized By: The Optics Society at the University of Michigan (OSUM)

All-fiber integrated super-continuum (SC) sources are described based on a platform architecture that can operate in the visible, near-infrared, short-wave infrared, mid-wave infrared and long-wave infrared, with demonstrated SC wavelengths ranging from 0.47 to 12 microns. Modulation instability initiated SC generation leads to a simple SC source with no moving parts and that uses off-the-shelf components from the mature telecommunications and fiber optics industry. The resulting light sources are basically a cascade of fibers pumped by fiber-pigtailed laser diodes and some drive and control electronics; thus, the SC sources have the potential to be cost-effective, compact and reliable. Starting from fused silica fibers, the SC spectrum can be extended to shorter or longer wavelengths by cascading fibers with appropriate dispersion and/or transparency. As one example, we demonstrate a long-wave infrared SC source that generates a continuous spectrum from 1.57 to 12 microns using a fiber cascade comprising fused silica fiber followed by ZBLAN fluoride fiber followed by sulfide fiber and, finally, a high-numerical-aperture selenide fiber. The time-averaged output power is 417 mW at 33% duty cycle, and we observe a near-diffraction-limit, single spatial-mode beam across the entire spectral range. A prototype is described that is based on a three-layer architecture with a form factor of 16.7”x10”x5.7” and that plugs into a standard wall plug. This SC prototype has been used in a number of field tests as the active illuminator for stand-off FTIR system over distances of 5 to 25m, thus enabling identification of targets or samples based on their chemical signature.

"A Computational Approach to Translational Neuroscience and Neuroengineering" (January 31, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60040 60040-14814806@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 31, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Traumatic injuries and diseases of the motor system affect millions of people worldwide. In Europe alone, approximately 3 million people are affected by the consequences of spinal cord injury, stroke and multiple sclerosis, for a total estimated healthcare cost of 45 billion euros per year. Treatments for these conditions are needed to ease both their growing economic and societal impact. Recent advances in neurotechnologies and brain machine interfaces have prompted promising results in laboratory settings. However, none of these approaches translated into actual clinical solutions to motor paralysis. Specifically, the scarce knowledge on the mechanisms of neural control of movement hinder the design of effective neurotechnologies thus limiting their usability for people with severe disabilities. Here I show how I developed a computational and technological framework to understand how damaged neural circuits can adapt to use electrical stimulation inputs for correcting aberrant motor behaviors I then show how I used this knowledge to design and test novel neurotechnologies enhancing motor recovery after paralysis.

Marco Capogrosso, Ph.D., is from the Department of Neurosciences and Movement Sciences at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.

Osama R. Bilal, ETH Postdoctoral Fellow, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

Mechanical metamaterials are material systems with tailored, architected geometry, designed to retain static and dynamic properties that do not exist or rare in nature. This class of materials usually features a structural pattern that repeats spatially (i.e., unit cell). Most of the metamaterials properties are inscribed in the unit cell’s frequency dispersion spectrum, ranging form its stiffness at zero frequency to its wave attenuation capacity at finite frequencies. These metamaterials are well suited to provide new materials-based advances (through geometry rather than chemical composition) to both structural and acoustical engineering of aerospace vehicles and structures. These advances, for example, can range from sound and vibration insulation to flow control. A major challenge in metamaterials design is to engineer unit cells that have the ability to change their mechanical properties in a predetermined manner, within practical time frames. As a demonstration of principle, we harness geometric and magnetic nonlinearities to tune the metamaterials’ dispersion characteristics. We program our nonlinear metamaterial to redirect stress waves, on the fly, in a reversible and element-wise fashion.

“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.

"The Rational Design of Affinity-Controlled Protein Delivery for Tissue Repair" (February 7, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60041 60041-14814807@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 7, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Tissue repair requires a carefully orchestrated series of events in which
numerous cell populations, proteins, and matrix molecules participate under precise spatiotemporal control. Disruptions in these signaling events can cause aberrant healing, leading to impaired function. Biomaterials developed to deliver cells and proteins to tissue often fail to recapitulate the complex, endogenous healing response to injury, and lack the ability to control the bioactivity and local presentation of therapeutics in the injury site. I aim to engineer affinity interactions between therapeutic proteins and biomaterials to create delivery vehicles that can exert precise control over protein bioactivity and delivery. This seminar will demonstrate how novel approaches in protein engineering, computational bio-transport modeling, and directed evolution can be used to overcome the limitations of typical biomaterial delivery vehicles and advance clinically relevant treatment strategies for both musculoskeletal and central nervous system injuries.

Marian Hettiaratchi, Ph.D., is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Shoichet Lab at the University of Toronto.

Please join the Student Space Systems Fabrication Laboratories (S3FL) and Tau Beta Pi for a corporate info session with Spaceflight Industries.

Traditionally, access to space has been limited to government entities due to high cost. Sending satellites into orbit once required purchasing an entire rocket; however, with the growing industry of smallsats, the demand for routine, cost-effective access to space has increased exponentially. Demand, coupled with the growing number of launch vehicle providers, created an opportunity for Spaceflight to assist in identifying, booking and managing rideshare launches.

With a straightforward and cost-effective suite of products and services including state-of-the-art satellite infrastructure, rideshare launch offerings, payload integration and global communications networks, Spaceflight enables commercial, non-profit organizations and government entities to achieve their mission goals – on time and on budget.

Food will be provided.

Though many universities aspire to cultivate a climate that is welcoming to the members of their diverse student, faculty, and staff bodies, we know that the lived experiences of many in our communities don't always align with these aspirations. In this CRLT Players session, participants will think together about the many forces that shape campus climate and work towards developing or refining a skill set that will allow them to respond productively and compassionately to individuals who have negative experiences of climate at their universities.

Ethics for a Learning Health Care System: The “Common Purpose” Framework (February 12, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59180 59180-14694666@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

There is increased interest among health care institutions to transitioning to become learning health systems. In this process, however, there are increased practical and moral challenges from using the traditional definitions of “research” vs “practice” to determine which activities within such systems require IRB review and other ethics oversight, and which do not. As health systems more deliberately integrate care delivery with ongoing data collection, a set of ethics commitments for this integrated approach must be articulated. This presentation will provide an example of an ethics framework for learning health care and underscore how also being guided by commitments to transparency, engagement, and accountability around the ongoing learning are also essential, ethically.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

“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.

Redesigning Manufacturing Machines, Design Tools, and Robotics for Smart Human Augmented Spatial Interfaces (February 15, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60608 60608-14917066@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 15, 2019 11:00am

Organized By: Integrative Systems + Design

Abstract
The convergence of many factors such as low-cost sensors, electronics, computing, fabrication, and more recently machine learning, aided by human interactive interfaces has created the potential to redesign our manufacturing ecosystem. I will describe three themes in our research. First is redesigning design tools and machines around humans to enabling easy access to manufacturing by non-experts. I will provide examples of transforming everyday objects to interactive objects, mixed dimensional modeling, and creating objects directly in the physical world. Second, I will show construction of reconfigurable modular robots and mixed reality interactions with new forms of distributed intelligence and an open system architecture, that can give rise to vastly new forms of smart machines, robotic structures, and functions. Furthermore, because these robots and machines can be programmed and controlled with just a mobile phone, the developers of such “low-cost” robotics and machine “apps” do not need programming experiences at all. It will transform high-tech to low-tech and make it accessible to small and medium scale industries. Third, I will demonstrate new forms of location-aware collaborative intelligence and information exchange between humans-robots and machines. In addition, new soft interface wearables will free hands to work and interact at the same time, enabling augmentation. With such possibilities, our factories can be more productive and agile by using cognitively intuitive, spatially aware, and easy to program interactive interfaces that aid the human(s)-robot(s)-machine(s) to work together. Our research directions in artificial intelligence-based human augmentation technologies will have a direct impact on workforce re-skilling programs, increasing human labor capacity, factory productivity, and agility.

The Michigan Energy Club (MEC) is a student-run group composed of undergraduate and graduate students interested in energy topics. MEC’s mission is to provide an interdisciplinary forum to discuss the topic of energy from scientific, political, and economic perspectives. We do this through member-led energy discussions, seminars, collaboration with other clubs, projects, and more. MEC is a great resource for students to learn more about the energy industry and to create connections. MEC is open to all students, and meetings for Winter/Spring 2019 are held on Tuesdays from 6 PM-7 PM in room 2000A at the MMPL (Energy Institute) at 2301 Bonisteel Boulevard.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.
