New Perspectives on Classical Soil Mechanics (February 7, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60804 60804-14970660@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 7, 2019 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The classical soil mechanics has been founded to support practice-driven geotechnical engineering solutions. In terms of fundamental soil properties, classical soil mechanics uses the basic mechanics concepts and utilizes experimentally observed soil behavior to develop application-driven engineering parameters. The microscopic mechanisms of these parameters are typically overlooked. This presentation will describe a framework that integrates computational models with characterization of the fundamental properties of soils to understand the structural and interaction bases of soil engineering parameters. The framework allows predicting soil engineering behaviors from the most fundamental characterizations. It has the potential of transforming soil mechanism into a predictive mechanics and catalyze the introduction of new sets of experimental tools for soil mechanics research.
Dr. Xiong (Bill) Yu is a professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Case Western Reserve University.

Organized By: HET Brown Bag Series

I will discuss how to use neural networks to detect data departures from a given reference model, with no prior bias on the nature of the new physics responsible for the discrepancy. The algorithm that I will describe returns a global p-value that quantifies the tension between the data and the reference model. It also allows to compare directly what the network has learned with the data, giving a fully transparent account of the nature of possible signals. The potential applications are broad, from LHC physics searches to cosmology and beyond.

Conveyance systems for drinking water to major cities are critical infrastructure components. Most systems utilize a combination of pipelines and tunnels, which were typically built 50 to 100 years ago. Some of these systems are either susceptible to risks of rupture or failure, or are experiencing significant operations and maintenance issues. Two examples from opposite coasts in North America are the Delaware Aqueduct in New York State, and the Second Narrows Undercrossing in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the Delaware Aqueduct, a portion of the original tunnel is experiencing significant leakage below the Hudson River within a high-permeability rock mass. For the Second Narrows Undercrossing, construction of three pipelines across the Burrard Inlet at shallow depths and in liquefiable soils put them at risk for both scour/anchor strike damage and failure during the potential large earthquakes that could occur in the area. Specific issues and technical challenges will be presented for each project.

Samuel Swartz is a Principal Tunnel Engineer based out of Chicago, IL. With more than 20 years of experience in the tunneling industry, he has provided tunnel design on a number of challenging projects across North America, and in Australia and New Zealand. A native of Ann Arbor, he received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering, and a Master’s Degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Geotechnical Engineering.

Wind-resilient and sustainable architectural engineering (February 18, 2019 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61162 61162-15043039@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 18, 2019 12:30pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Sustainable and wind-resilient building design requires realistic modelling of urban microclimate interaction with building at various scales (component → building → neighbourhood → city). This includes both (i) normally recurring microclimate conditions driven by thermal variations and/or normal wind for building energy performance design, and (ii) extreme climate conditions such as hurricane landfall, tornado touchdown or extreme winter for capacity and safety design. Alan Davenport’s “wind-loading-chain” links the modelling of extreme synoptic wind, exposure, aerodynamics, and dynamics to particular design criteria. Its expansion to (i) non-synoptic extreme winds such as tornadoes and downbursts; (ii) normal micro-climatic loads such as thermal loads, (iii) optimal tall building/bridge aerodynamic solutions; (iv) performance based wind design methods for emerging tall-mass-timber buildings; and (v) community level wind performance assessments, will be presented, through representative research projects from each category. The roles of computational fluid dynamics and Artificial Intelligence (deployed at SHARCNet) complimenting the physical experiments (enabled by the Boundary Layer Wind
Tunnel Laboratory and WindEEE Dome) in realizing windresilient and sustainable architectural engineering will be emphasized.

Dr. Bitsuamlak is Canada Research Chair in Wind Engineering at Western University. He serves as Director (Research) for both the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory and WindEEE Research Institute, and Western’s Site-leader for SHARCNet computing centre. His team is actively working on modelling microclimate effects to enhance the performance of buildings and cities for extreme wind (e.g. hurricane and tornado safety), and normal climate (Building thermal and energy performance).

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.

Geomechanics of Sinkholes (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60866 60866-14979678@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Sinkholes pose a major threat to environment, infrastructure, and human safety. They can develop via a cluster of inter-related processes, including bedrock dissolution, rock collapse, soil washing away, and soil collapse. Current practices involved in the sinkhole hazard assessment are generally of a qualitative, empirical nature and largely based on geological characteristics of the karst terrains. This talk aims to present a quantitative analysis of the interplay of multiple mechanisms involved during sinkhole development. The dominant mechanism behind sinkholes formed in rocks is the dissolution of soluble karstic rocks. Dissolution process may be enhanced by potentially aggressive groundwater acidity and the presence of caves or fissures. Specific dissolution rate of the constituent mineral (limestone or dolomite) and the surface area available for reaction are related via a chemo-mechanical coupling with the consideration of the damage-enhanced dissolution mechanism. The second part of the analysis explores the cover collapse type of sinkholes in which the critical mechanism is the growth and upward propagation of cavity. A strain-softening constitutive model is used to describe the strength evolution dependent on accumulated plastic deviatoric strain and erosion progression of soils around the cavity. The numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of expanding classical geomechanics to address intricate, often coupled processes in sinkholes.

Dr. Rick Hill, Assistant Dean for Research and External Initiatives in the College of Engineering & Science at the University of Detroit Mercy, will be joining us for a discussion about his career path as part of our "Exploring the Teaching Side of Academia" series, which is sponsored by a CoE Graduate Student Community Grant.

Anyone considering a career path in academia or with an interest in teaching should consider attending - whether you're just trying to decide if that's the path you want to take, or whether you're already applying to positions. Dr. Hill will be speaking about his experience, as well as talking about the differences between working at Detroit Mercy and what we see here at UM. While anyone is welcome, the discussion will be of most interest to graduate students and postdocs.

Evaluating Site Seismic Parameters for Construction (February 28, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60867 60867-14979679@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 28, 2019 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Geotechnical engineers are frequently faced with addressing seismicity issues
associated with construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. According to building codes and related guidelines, the geotechnical engineer has several methods to evaluate seismicity issues at sites where new construction is planned. The findings developed from the geotechnical engineer’s evaluation are then used by the project structural engineer in their design of the proposed building. This presentation will provide a broad overview of Mr. Jedele’s experience with the methods available in the geotechnical engineer’s toolbox and include several case histories where these tools have been used and compared with each other.

Mr. Jedele received his baccalaureate and MS degrees from the University of Michigan. He is a Past President of the ASCE Geo-Institute Board of Governors, and he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Geo-Professionals. In 1991 Larry was named the Engineer of the Year by the Michigan Section of ASCE and earlier by the Ann Arbor Branch of ASCE. He is a registered engineer in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee

Cartographies of Silence: A Conference for Readers and Writers
23rd Annual CLIFF Conference
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
March 15-16, 2019
Keynote Speaker: Professor Irena Klepfisz

It was an old theme even for me:Language cannot do everything– -- Adrienne Rich, “Cartographies of Silence”

Silence is not an absence, but is charged with meaning and action. To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive, in the text, in the subject, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?

Professor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx, where she attended public schools, a Yiddish shule, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism, Israeli/Palestinian peace, Jewish identity, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture.

Klepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays), and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).

Last year, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx, where she attended public schools, a Yiddish shule, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism, Israeli/Palestinian peace, Jewish identity, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture.

Klepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays), and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).

Do you hear about engineering education research (EER) or the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL), and wonder what it's about? Dr. Jessica Swenson, an EER postdoc, will be providing an introduction (no prior knowledge needed!) for us.

In this workshop, Dr. Swenson will be providing an overview of qualitative methods as applied to engineering education research. She will discuss the difference between qualitative and quantitative methods, what the different types of qualitative methods are, and when each is appropriate for answering which kind of research questions. Then, you will have a chance to experience what it is like to be a qualitative researcher with a guided analysis of real data!

Bring your own lunch and we'll provide a sweet treat! Please RSVP here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEvn-4KtNcFrA3HZX3JxOjyNzpiPPIPdFyRPSKqYPxA80rKQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

Writing a Purpose Statement (March 19, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62289 62289-15344265@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Office of Student Affairs

Many people commit to a purpose or a mission statement of a company they might work for, shop at, or go to, but many people do not have a purpose of their own. A part of authentic leadership is committing to a purpose that helps us to deepen our impact. Your purpose springs from your identity and is the essence of who you are. To figure out who you are in such a world, let alone “be nobody but yourself,” is indeed hard work. This workshop will help you uncover what your ultimate purpose is and learn how to commit to it in times of uncertainty. This workshop is powered by the Sanger Leadership Center.

Registration is required by 4/4, at: https://goo.gl/forms/1jfl8uOPq6OuxaiB3

Project Management Certification (March 24, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126016@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Dialogues in Contemporary Thought V | On Reading, will consist of two lectures. "Alphabetographies," by Prof. Cadava, will consider the photographic work of Susan Meiselas in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Kurdistan, and investigate her claim of being "attracted like a magnet to mass graves, destroyed villages, the missing." Prof. Cadava will then consider why photography is a privileged means of documenting violence, and the forms of resistance made available by it. "We have been misreading the camps," by Prof. Paloff, will re-evaluate the moral claims attached to camp literature, and propose an alternative ethics that embraces the reader's individual experience, and the community's memory of the past. The lectures are open to everyone. Questions - email: srdjan@umich.edu

Influence of slickwater additives on fate of residual fracturing fluids and flowback composition in shale gas reservoirs (March 28, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62284 62284-15344247@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2019 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Understanding the fate of residual hydraulic fracturing fluids and the mechanisms
that control flowback fluid composition are necessary components to the environmentally sustainable development of shale gas reservoirs. Fracturing fluids contain an array of chemical additives that will influence mineral dissolution reactions and water imbibition at the shale fracture/matrix interface. This presentation will summarize results from a series of experimental studies that examined the impact of acid and surfactants commonly used in slickwater fracturing fluids with respect to their ability to mobilize contaminants from and influence water imbibition into the shale matrix.

Brian Ellis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan (U-M).His research interests cover topics related to the sustainable development of subsurface energy resources and geologic CO2 sequestration.

There is a deep analogy between Bayesian inference — where we try to fit a model to data, which has a ground-truth structure partly hidden by noise — and statistical physics. Many concepts like energy landscapes, free energy, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability, combinatorics, and theoretical computer science. At their best, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.

One recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs, review what is known rigorously, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

The effects of Hurricane Sandy on New York City and subsequent programs to improve the City’s infrastructure are described in this lecture. Special attention is focused on the restoration of the L Line Tunnel, which was flooded by Hurricane Sandy. Professor O’Rourke will describe how a team from Cornell and Columbia Universities was assembled at the request of Governor Andrew Cuomo to help reengineer a $1/2 billion project to rehabilitate the subway tunnel, and still keep the subway in service. The new approach integrates several advanced technologies, including distributed fiber optics and LiDAR, and makes a breakthrough in infrastructure restoration resulting from interdisciplinary work between civil and electrical engineers. The agents of change that lead to improved policies and approaches are explored, including the technical, institutional, and social challenges of introducing new technologies and engaging community support.

Thomas O' Rourke is a professor of the Engineering Department at Cornell University.

Organized By: HET Seminars

The cosmic censorship conjecture raises the question of whether classical gravitational dynamics can drive a low-energy configuration into an accessible regime of quantum gravity, with Planck-scale curvatures and energy densities visible by distant observers. I will present evidence that cosmic censorship is violated in the quintessential phenomenon of General Relativity: the collision and merger of two black holes. It only requires a sufficient total angular momentum in a collision in high enough number of dimensions.
Nevertheless, I will argue that even if cosmic censorship is violated in this and in some other know instances, its spirit remains unchallenged: classical relativity describes the physics seen by observers outside the black holes accurately, with only minimal quantum input that does not entail macroscopic disruptions.

Over the past decade, Dr. Gronewold has led research focused on understanding major components of the hydrologic cycle, with an emphasis on the Laurentian Great Lakes.  His research has led to improvements in regional land surface models, the introduction and continued maintenance of novel evaporation monitoring platforms, and recommendations for implementing a binational blend of continental precipitation products.  Dr. Gronewold's presentation will convey new statistical modeling approaches to reconcile discrepancies between alternate data sources for the regional water balance, and will outline plans for propagating lessons learned from the Laurentian Great Lakes to other large lake systems around the world.

Drew Gronewold is an associate professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan. Professor Gronewold’s research interests lie in hydrological modeling, with a focus on propagating uncertainty and variability into model-based water resources management decisions.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Many people commit to a purpose or a mission statement of a company they might work for, shop at, or go to, but many people do not have a purpose of their own. A part of authentic leadership is committing to a purpose that helps us to deepen our impact. Your purpose springs from your identity and is the essence of who you are. To figure out who you are in such a world, let alone “be nobody but yourself,” is indeed hard work. This workshop will help you uncover what your ultimate purpose is and learn how to commit to it in times of uncertainty. This workshop is powered by the Sanger Leadership Center.

Using machine learning and internet of things to address the urban water cycle trilemma (April 9, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62566 62566-15405804@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

City’s water systems are experiencing the pressure of growing populations, shrinking budgets, climate change, and aging infrastructure. These factors present
utilities with the urban water cycle trilemma: investing capital to maintain or expand infrastructure, doing business as usual to maintain its level of service, and doing all this affordably.
This talk will show how utilities are using machine learning and internet of things to solve the urban water cycle trilemma by disrupting the status quo. Data intensive solutions are being used to adapt water infrastructure in real time to provide citizens with higher levels of service while reducing energy and chemical consumption in treatment plants, reducing storm related flooding and overflows, and increasing drinking water quality.

Luis is the CTO and President of EmNet. Luis founded EmNet to study and develop solutions to optimize the operation of complex wastewater collection systems. EmNet’s Real Time Decision Support System technology helps utilities maximize the use of existing and future infrastructure to reduce combined sewer overflows volumes and frequencies.

Life-Cycle, Risk, Resilience and Sustainability of Infrastructure (April 10, 2019 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62829 62829-15477381@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 10, 2019 12:30pm

Our knowledge to model, analyze, design, maintain, monitor, manage, predict and optimize the life-cycle performance of structures and infrastructure under uncertainty is continually growing. However, in many countries, including the United States, the civil infrastructure is no longer within desired levels of performance. Decisions resilence- and sustainability regarding infrastructure systems should be supported by an integrated risky-based life-cycle multi-objective optimization framework by considering, among other factors, the likelihood of successful performance and the total expected cost accrued over the entire life-cycle. The primary objective of this lecture is to present a framework for risk-, resilience- and sustainability-informed decision making for structural systems and networks in a life-cycle multi-objective optimization context. Risk-based performance metrics allow engineers to combine the probability of structural failure with the consequences corresponding to this event. The sustainability performance metric is established considering the risks associated with economic, social, and environmental impacts, utility theory, and the decision maker’s risk attitude. Applications include time-variant reliability, risk, resilience, and sustainability of bridges, bridge transportation networks, and interdependent infrastructure systems under multi-hazards.

Neutrons make up half of all matter but become unstable when freed from the nucleus. The precise value of the neutron lifetime plays an important role in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology. Professor Liu will describe the latest measurement, which traps neutrons by levitating neutrons with a large array of permanent magnets. The lifetime measured this way appears different than that measured with a beam of neutrons leading some to conjecture their disappearance into an undetectable state.

Title: Sparse Functional Expansion Based Method for Solving High-dimensional Uncertainty Quantification Problems and Its Application to the Nuclear Transient Test Reactor (TREAT)

Chair: Prof. Thomas Downar

Abstract: The uncertainty quantification (UQ) in computational calculations is to quantitatively characterize the uncertainties in the quantities of interest resulted from input parameter uncertainties. UQ is essential in computational analysis since it predicts the range and the likelihood of possible model outcomes when some model parameters are not known as exact values. It is also usually the case that UQ is computationally intensive when the models are sophisticated, and the random space can have high dimensionality as it often requires multiple model evaluations. The effort in developing UQ methods that requires fewer sample evaluations includes the development of adjoint-based methods and the design of efficient sampling schemes. However, to apply these methods to specific models of interest, users must have either specialty in the modeling of the responses or must adopt some assumptions on the distribution of the model responses prior to the analysis. Methods to effectively reduce the number of sample evaluations required while being able to extract the detailed distribution information of the responses of interest remains a critical challenge facing researchers in the UQ community.
In this thesis, we propose a lasso regularization-based data-driven adaptive algorithm for finding a sparse solution of the generalized polynomial chaos expansion of a response of interest. The sparsity in the functional expansion solution determines the reduction in the dimensionality of the uncertainty space in the system that can be achieved. This makes it possible to effectively reduce the necessary number of sample evaluations without compromising the UQ analysis. The terms “data-driven” and “adaptive” mean that the sparsity in the provided solution is a model property that is inherent in the design of the algorithm. The algorithm automatically estimates the importance of the random parameters in the system and decides on the active set of orthogonal polynomials to use in the resulting expansion. Hence our method is very general, and users do not have to adopt model-based assumptions or make intrusive modifications to their deterministic program in order to apply it.

The development of the algorithm was inspired by the high-dimensional and computationally expensive UQ problems that are encountered while modeling the TREAT reactor. In this application we developed the algorithm for the uncertainty quantification of the modeling of the transient tests that were previously performed with the TREAT reactor. Results show that our algorithm can effectively reduce the number of sample evaluations for high-dimensional UQ problems while providing functional expansion solutions that are stable and that can accurately predict a wide range of responses of interest.

Observation in Support of Analysis and Design of RC Structures (April 18, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63053 63053-15543230@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 18, 2019 1:30pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The talk describes findings from numerical and experimental research as well as field work focused on the performance of RC structures. It includes a series of examples in which observations from the field and the laboratory were indispensable to support analyses leading to credible explanations of phenomena ranging from building collapses to basic resistance mechanisms in RC. Special attention is given to research addressing issues faced in the U.S. in the recent adoption of design provisions to allow the use of high strength steel (HSS) reinforcing bars (with yield stresses of up to 700 MPa) in buildings required to resist earthquake demands. The new provisions in the U.S. Building Code (ACI318-19) were motivated by industry and the need to reduce congestion and labor costs. The central questions in this process had to do with the plausible effects of the use of HSS reinforcement on both cyclic drift capacity and seismic drift demand of RC structures. In the case of drift capacity the main concerns included:
1) effects of different stress-strain curves on the distribution of curvature along an element,
2) reduced ultimate elongation and toughness of high-strength steels,
3) redefinition of limits to amount of reinforcement.
In the case of drift demand the described research explored the plausible effects of reductions in reinforcement ratio and, therefore, post-cracking stiffness. The problem of drift demand is examined in reference to earthquake records that have been obtained in the last 20 years and challenge common preconceptions about the properties of ground motion.
To close, a summary is presented to emphasize the importance of the use of data (observation) to support analysis and design in engineering, and the audience is offered open resources to access large collections of field and laboratory data related to the seismic performance of RC structures. Examples of new research directions (related to structural resilience and repair) are also offered to elicit questions and discussion.

Title: Application of the Method of Manufactured Solutions to Verify the Method of Characteristics for Reactor Analysis

Chair(s): Prof. Bill Martin, Prof. Benjamin Collins

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to theoretically analyze the error of the method of characteristics (MOC) with respect to different independent variables and to develop the methodology to apply the method of manufactured solutions (MMS) to verify an MOC-based code system for reactor analysis. The MMS methodology has been applied to fixed source problems, criticality eigenvalue problems, as well as multiphysics problems coupling neutronics with other physics essential to reactor analysis. Theoretical predictions for the order of accuracy as a function of mesh spacing (spatial and angular meshes) are compared with numerical results with MMS. The coupling of spatial and angular errors obscured the convergence with the spatial mesh, and a method for removing the angular error from the numerical solution was developed, resulting in excellent agreement between theory and numerical results for the spatial order of accuracy. The application of MMS to the criticality eigenvalue problem yields an inhomogeneous eigenvalue problem, which does not have a unique solution. This was addressed by adding a constraint to the application code eigenvalue solver. An alternative method for applying MMS to the criticality eigenvalue problem was developed, based on modifying the fission cross section, and this avoids the inhomogeneous eigenvalue problem. Both methods yielded numerical results for the order of accuracy that were in excellent agreement with theory. The MMS methodology was also applied to the C5G7 benchmark problem, a seven-group small core with realistic geometry, and the numerical solution reproduced the assumed MMS solution everywhere to within negligible error.
The findings and conclusions are that MMS is a powerful, flexible and rigorous tool for reactor code verification, which is an essential step in developing a complex scientific computing code. This study contributes to reactor analysis by quantifying and removing errors associated with certain numerical approximations, revealing the rate of convergence with respect to the refined variable and providing a verification methodology for both reactor physics and coupled multiphysics applications.

There is a deep analogy between Bayesian inference — where we try to fit a model to data, which has a ground-truth structure partly hidden by noise — and statistical physics. Many concepts like energy landscapes, free energy, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability, combinatorics, and theoretical computer science. At their best, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.

One recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs, review what is known rigorously, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

Water risks in agriculture supply chains: Material impacts and mitigation strategies from the food and beverage industry (April 19, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62565 62565-15405803@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 3:30pm

In the face of mounting stresses on global water supplies, food and beverage companies are increasingly exposed to financial risks associated with their reliance on water-intensive agricultural commodities. Droughts, floods, eutrophication, and poor manure management not only undermine the security of our food system, but they also pose physical, regulatory, and reputational threats to the financial performance of the food industry. While many of these companies -- and their investors -- have demonstrated growing awareness of water stewardship as a business imperative, others have stagnated, failing to assess their exposure to water risks or set goals to source their commodities more sustainably. I examine how water risks have already had substantial financial impacts on the industry and highlight the efforts of institutional investors to motivate companies to address these risks. Through an analysis of past and forthcoming editions of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty -- a benchmarking of the water risk management efforts of over 40 food and beverage companies -- I review the strategies used by leading companies to enhance the resilience of their agricultural supply chains.

Deep vein thrombosis, defined as blood clots forming in veins beneath muscles in the body, is the third most common cardiovascular disease worldwide. The standard treatment of deep vein thrombosis involves using anticoagulants to stop clot progression but is only successful in 2/3 of patients because the composition of the clot changes over time. The standard diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and determination of the age of the thrombus are based on the patient’s timeline of when these symptoms appeared. With use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), thrombus progression can be studied non-invasively from the acute to chronic stage. The aims of this work are to apply a Gaussian mixture model to multiparametric MRI of preclinical thrombi and determine whether spatial correlations exist with composition by histology.

Thrombosis was induced in 30 12-week-old mice divided into three groups and imaged at either acute, sub-chronic, or chronic time points. The multiparametric MRI volumes consisted of T1-, T2-, and T2*-weighted images. The MRI volume for each mouse was normalized, and the thrombus was segmented. The T1, T2, and T2* intensities at each location were input into a Gaussian mixture model. Following image acquisition, tissue samples were acquired and stained for Martius scarlet blue trichrome to examine red blood cell, collagen, and fibrin content in each thrombus.

To analyze each Gaussian mixture model region, qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed by comparing the Gaussian mixture model results with the paired histology. 2D correlation values between the Gaussian mixture model tissue class and histological composition revealed that the first cluster class correlated with red blood cells (p < 0.05), and the second cluster class correlated with fibrin and collagen (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that spatial correlations exist between the classification of multiparametric MRI data and corresponding histology. With the aforementioned methods and results from each study, we are able to move one step closer with assisting healthcare providers in optimizing treatments for patients with deep vein thrombosis.

The purpose of this dissertation is to advance the development of a drug-loaded polymeric scaffold for bone tissue engineering as a promising synthetic substitute for autologous bone grafts. While still considered the reference standard for treatment of large volume bone injuries, autologous grafts are limited in their clinical applications by donor site morbidity, limited tissue availability, and potential for graft failure. The clinical use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) as bone graft substitutes has resulted in serious side effects due in part to the supraphysiologic dose of BMP required for adequate healing. New approaches to treating these large volume injuries are needed. Our proposed strategy utilizes tissue engineering and drug delivery concepts to develop synthetic drug-loaded biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration.

To enhance the osteogenic potential of synthetic scaffolds, we sought to simultaneously deliver two growth factors: recombinant human BMP-7 and recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). We first established an in vitro cell culture model using rabbit mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate and optimize the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment in combination with BMP-7 as a basis for our in vivo studies. We subsequently encapsulated the growth factors in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres with tailored release patterns for each factor. Low molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate FGF-2 in fast releasing nanospheres while high molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate BMP-7 in slow releasing nanospheres. We found that FGF-2 augmented BMP-7-directed ectopic bone formation in a subcutaneous mouse model, and that the synergistic effect was dependent on the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment. We also found that FGF-2 may contribute to enhanced bone formation due to its effects on cell migration and proliferation, as well as its angiogenic and osteogenic effects.

We then established an in vitro model to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells in 2D monolayer and 3D culture on novel nanofibrous spongy microsphere scaffold (NF-SMS). We used a similar PLGA-based drug delivery system to control the release kinetics of FGF-2 and BMP-7 and conjugated drug-loaded PLGA nanospheres to the injectable NF-SMS scaffold. In a critical size cranial defect mouse model, low dose FGF-2 combined with BMP-7 enhanced bone regeneration over BMP-7 alone.

Lastly, we sought to better understand the crosstalk between the FGF-2 and BMP-7 signaling pathways through a series of experiments to measure the effect of FGF-2 on canonical BMP signaling in mouse calvarial osteoblasts. We identified a potential new link between these signaling pathways and propose a new mechanism by which FGF-2 signaling modulates BMP receptor activity, enhancing the phosphorylation of R-Smad1/5/9 proteins.

This research elucidates the criteria for achieving synergy between BMP-7 and FGF-2 through relevant in vitro and in vivo models. It provides guidelines for future development of biomimetic scaffolds with controlled release of multiple relevant biological cues to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy among women in the US, responsible for 14,000 deaths per year, and five-year survival rate of 25%. Within the primary and metastatic microenvironments in the ovary, peritoneal ascites and omentum, the ovarian cancer cells are subject to several mechanical stresses, including compressive stresses generated by uncontrolled cell growth in a confining space, increased tissue stiffness due to tumor cell extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and increased interstitial fluid pressure due to the angiogenic growth of new leaky blood vessels. However, current models to study these stimuli within the ovarian tumor microenvironment are lacking in biophysical cues, relevant extracellular matrix dynamics and the ability to consistently sustain cells through the detachment process. The absence of consistent optimization of matrix composition and degradation mechanics also leads to occurrences of increased cytolysis during in vitro experimentation. In order to meet this critical unmet need, my Master’s thesis is focused on developing extracellular matrices that feature comparable consistent compositional, structural and mechanical cues. Additionally, these matrices facilitate biophysical modulation to be applicable over a wider range in a manner that allows for improved experimental precision. Given the range of matrix stiffness, permeability and porosity, I have developed and characterized hydrogels for designing extracellular mimics for ovarian cancer mechanotransduction studies.

In this work, I highlight the need for optimization of interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels’ homogeneity, thereby providing uniform adhesion during mechano-transduction experiments. Further, I optimized cell harvesting via thorough cell detachment without causing cytolysis for downstream analysis including, flow cytometry on detached cells. Moreover, I have characterized the rheologic, transport and structural properties of IPN hydrogels, and demonstrate how these can account for variation in experimental results. Overall, my thesis provides insight into the significance of hydrogel matrix composition when constructing cell scaffolds for specific cellular microenvironments.

Owing to their success as natural hydrogel scaffolds, I utilized alginate and agarose to design the ovarian cancer extracellular matrices. Within these networks, collagen served as the second component of the IPN network, providing an anchoring fibrillar network for the cells within the otherwise non-fibrillar material, and further enhancing the biocompatibility of the scaffold. I varied the IPN hydrogel composition to demonstrate a relevant range structural and mechanical properties. Further, I characterized the homogeneity, morphology, fiber structure, stiffness, gelation time, permeability and porosity of IPN hydrogels. Lastly, I evaluated ovarian cancer cells for cellular function post-harvest from IPN hydrogels, to demonstrate successful detachment and degradation of the surrounding matrix.

The results of this study enable tailoring of the IPN hydrogel extracellular matrices according to required mechanical, structural, and biophysical parameters for not only ovarian cancer, but also other originating tissues for improved robustness and reliability of the in vitro cancer bioengineering models.

Human skin plays vital roles in both the sensory system and thermoregulation, and also provides an important line of defense for the body from the external environment. However, experimental methods that enable in vivo characterization of this multi-layered organ are currently lacking. Soft tissue artificial phantoms can be used to diagnose certain skin diseases or to validate the efficacy of medical procedures. This study proposes a non-invasive method to obtain three-dimensional displacement measurements of soft tissue using suction and digital image correlation. We developed a measurement device capable of applying suction loading while capturing images of the full-field deformation of the area of interest. Soft tissue phantoms were fabricated, and a temporary speckle pattern was applied to each surface to provide unique features required for image correlation. A soft tissue phantom with less stiff inclusions of various diameters and a 3D printed ellipsoid was prepared. Analysis was performed using an open-source software, DICe, and both peak displacement and pressure were further parameterized for comparison metrics. The stiffness of each material was validated by comparison to each other and a hard surface. The softer inclusions were not detected, however, the material with inclusions behaved differently than the control, indicating an overall change in material properties. Preliminary results support the use of the parameterizations as comparison metrics and demonstrate the successful application of 3D-DIC to measure deformation of a surface under suction loading. The device can be modified in the future to enable measurement of surfaces with larger contours or smaller regions of interest. The compact design of the instrument permits data collection in a range of environmental conditions outside of the lab, facilitating experiments that are currently not possible.

Community-engaged teaching has important implications for the development of cross-cultural awareness and positively impacts campus climate as students, faculty and community members collaborate across differences. Developing truly mutually beneficial campus-community partnerships requires taking a critical look at how power and privilege are embedded in these relationships and preparing our students effectively for this work. Purposeful course design, student preparation and ethical partnering are all crucial for moving toward positive community impact while promoting student learning.
In this session co-facilitated by experts from LSA’s Community-Engaged Academic Learning (CEAL) and the Edward Ginsberg Center, we will discuss key principles and promising practices to promote student learning *and* mutually beneficial campus-community partnerships when developing effective community-engaged courses. Participants will begin applying these ideas to their own courses, so please bring a course idea or description. This session is designed for faculty, staff or graduate student instructors planning to teach or currently teaching a community-engaged course.

This session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.

Despite the significant functional limitations imposed by upper limb loss, little research has focused on quantifying the functional success and satisfaction of prosthesis users. Most existing evidence comes from surveys, rather than experimental outcomes. Without a quantitative baseline, it is difficult to know where to focus attention for improvement in future prosthesis designs or to demonstrate whether new designs offer advantages over existing technologies. Thus, the goal of this dissertation was to quantify how functional outcomes and satisfaction relate to the type of prosthesis used.

The first aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects embodiment, or the extent to which prosthesis users perceived their prosthesis to be part of their body. We quantified embodiment for body-powered (BP) and myoelectric (MYO) prosthesis users based on a survey and two objective measurements of body schema and peripersonal space. Although BP users reported a stronger sense of agency over their prostheses in comparison to MYO users, other measures did not consistently differentiate experiences of embodiment based on prosthesis type. However, measurements of body schema varied depending on the cause of limb loss.

The second aim was to determine if prosthesis type impacts movement quality during activities of daily living. As an initial step for this aim, we quantified the reliability of movement quality metrics (three measures of smoothness and one measure of straightness) in healthy adults performing a variety of different tasks. Based on these findings, we then compared movement quality in BP and MYO prosthesis users during a subset of tasks (moving a can from a low shelf to a high shelf, placing a pill in a pillbox, and placing a pushpin in a bulletin board) using the metrics that had the highest reliability. All movements were slower when performed with MYO prostheses, except for the reaching phase of the pill task. Object manipulation movements were consistently less smooth when performed with MYO prostheses. However, differences in curvature of the reaching movements between the prosthesis types varied across tasks.

The third aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects kinematic compensations during activities of daily living. We quantified lateral lean, axial rotation, and flexion of the trunk during the same three activities of daily living. The range of motion was greater in all directions for BP prostheses during each task—except axial rotation and flexion during the pin task, which were greater for MYO prostheses.

The fourth aim was to explore the factors associated with interest in noninvasive (myoelectric) and invasive (targeted muscle reinnervation, peripheral nerve interfaces, cortical interfaces) interfaces for prosthesis control. An online survey collected opinions from 232 individuals with upper limb loss on the interfaces. Relationships between interest in the interfaces and demographics, limb loss characteristics, and prosthesis use history were defined using bivariate analysis and logistic regression. There was increased interest in the invasive interfaces among individuals who were younger, had unilateral limb loss, or had acquired limb loss.

Taken together, these aims suggest that BP prostheses may promote embodiment and smooth movement, while MYO prostheses may minimize compensatory movement. Although emerging prosthesis technologies requiring surgical intervention may not be accepted by all individuals with upper limb loss, functional outcomes with these technologies should be compared to outcomes with existing BP and MYO prostheses to demonstrate the relative merits of each design.

The origin of structure in the proton still evades a detailed description by first-principles calculations. Instead, the structure is extracted from global fits to its data. In proton-proton collisions, the current extraction procedure relies on our ability to independently describe each proton. It has been predicted, however, that correlations between two protons prohibit an independent description of each proton in certain scattering processes. These correlations may provide a powerful source of insight into the origin of collective structures in strongly-bound few-body systems. In this talk, I will explain how to probe these correlations and present measurements by the PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven National Lab in Long Island, New York. Measurements are also planned by the LHCb experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.

Weyl semimetals lie at the intersection of strongly correlated materials and materials with nontrivial spin-orbit coupling. These topological materials have attracted a lot of interest in the last several years because of their wide variety of novel properties and resulting potential applications. In this talk, I will begin by presenting a brief overview of the unique band structure and topology of these materials. Then I will go on to examine a couple of their nonlinear optical properties and highlight past and proposed experiments to further explore this novel state of matter.

Many physicists see biology as very complex and messy, and often it is. Certain problems in biology, though, serve as an elegant playground for physicists to develop quantitative AND predictive models. For example, problems in biology in which cells generate forces to perform some function allow physicists to make ourselves useful to biologists, our collaborators. In this talk, I will take you on a journey from the retinae of juvenile zebrafish to the outer tissue layer of developing mammalian embryos. In juvenile zebrafish, the cone photoreceptors in retinae form a precise crystalline lattice based on subtype (i.e., sensitivity to different wavelengths of light). We find that the defects in this lattice form lines, called grain boundaries, as the pattern forms, not by subsequent defect motion. Based on this observation, we propose a model in which cells of fixed fate (i.e., subtype) contact their neighbors of the same subtype, generating active forces for building the crystal. From there, I will take you to an example in which cell fate is not fixed. In this stem cell culture system, without any imposed chemical gradients and in the absence of many known endogenous gradients, cells of initially unspecified fate differentiate into two types, with one type localized to a ring at the boundary. We propose a model for this system in which mechanical stress biases fate and fate determines contractility. The role of cell-cell contacts and mechanics in pattern formation in developing tissues remains poorly understood. Luckily for us physicists, these problems provide endless intellectual stimulation.

Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) have become a widely-appreciated tool to measure the correlation build-up in space and time, and hence quantitatively characterize information scrambling in interacting many-body systems. Started off as a theoretical tool to understand quantum information in a black hole its impact quickly expanded to a wide variety of subjects including quantum chaos, many-body localization, quantum integrability and recently symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions. After giving a short introduction to information scrambling and out-of-time-order correlators, I will talk about the emergent relation between symmetry breaking quantum phase transitions and the information scrambling. I will introduce a new theoretical tool to study the physics encoded in an OTOC: dynamical decomposition method. I will show how this tool lets us analytically see the reasons and the mechanism of dynamical detection of symmetry-broken quantum phases via OTOCs. Based on the studies in literature and our numerical results in XXZ-model, our method seems to be universal in explaining the reasoning behind the relation between scrambling and the quantum criticality. If time permits, I will talk about an interesting numerical observation that led us to find a relation between the topological order (in 1D superconductor) at zero temperature and the OTOCs at infinite temperature.

Despite its postulation in the 1930s and discovery in the 1950s, very little is known about the neutrino, a neutral fundamental particle with thousands of times less mass than the electron that can potentially answer some of the biggest questions in physics. MicroBooNE, an 85-active-ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) experiment located at Fermilab in Batavia, IL, seeks to answer one such question: whether more than three types of neutrinos exist. Additionally, MicroBooNE is a means to study neutrino-argon scattering and perform R&D for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a large-scale LArTPC set to take data in the mid-2020s. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of neutrinos before describing MicroBooNE and its public physics results to date.

Photosynthesis is a vital process that forms the basis of most life and energy sources on the planet. The knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of charge and energy transfer involved in this process can be used to develop artificial light-harvesting systems and biofuels, helping us to meet our own energy needs. In this talk, I will discuss how we use fluorescence-detection-based two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (F-2DES) to study the energy transfer in light-harvesting (LH2, in particular) complexes present in photosynthetic purple bacteria. Due to long acquisition times, photobleaching effects during the 2D measurements can distort the features of the acquired spectra. Motivated by the desire to reduce these effects without sacrificing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we have adapted a rapid-scanning approach to record the linear spectra of the complexes in question. I will discuss the technique and results from the same. Extending this rapid-scanning technique to F-2DES promises reduced acquisition times and improved SNR for the 2D spectra.

In this talk, I will recount this mystery and how we have set out to solve it. Join me as we search for clues and interrogate the prime suspect, dynamic nuclear polarization. Along the way, I will introduce the key concepts vital to understanding our experiments. Together, we will unravel the mystery of an unexpected spin phenomenon in gallium arsenide as I present a tale of intrigue and spin dynamics.

Title: Interaction Reconstruction in Digital 3-D CdZnTe Under Various Circumstances

Chair: Zhong He

Abstract: Cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) is a semiconductor material that has attracted wide attention in the field of radiation detector in recent years. With the improvements in crystal growth, electrode design and readout electronics, the performance of CdZnTe detectors has been improving and approaching HPGe detectors without the requirements of cryogenic cooling. This work attempts to extend the application of CdZnTe detectors in multiple dimensions by addressing different challenges.

The advancements in digital readout systems enables more accurate information extraction from the CdZnTe detectors. Improvements were made on the measurement of electron mobility-lifetime product in 3-D CdZnTe detectors using more suitable filtering methods.

Though CdZnTe detectors can be operated at room temperature, the front-end devices still need to be temperature-regulated because the electronic gain as well as the electron transport property changes with temperature. The regulation requires extra power consumption, and impedes development of hand-held CdZnTe detector devices. In this work, the effect of temperature change on digital CdZnTe systems was studied in detail. In addition, practical algorithms were developed to correct for the systematic changes with varying temperature in both material and electronics.
Fast neutron damage in high-performance, 3-D sensitive CdZnTe detectors were studied. 3-D CdZnTe detectors showed significant performance degradation after neutron damage. The annealing process of neutron damage was studied both at room temperature and 80 oC. The annealing was significantly accelerated at higher temperatures. The detectors' performance was recoverable after annealing.
The usage of digital CdZnTe detector systems was extended to measurement of gamma rays in the above-3 MeV range. Pair-production double-escape event peaks were clearly resolved. Resolution degradation mechanisms in 3-D CdZnTe for gamma-ray interactions in this energy range were studied.

With increasing requirements for lower emissions and costs, next-generation transport aircraft are poised to deal with high aspect ratio wings. Long lightweight structures are very flexible, and this fact brings new challenges to the aeroelastic analysis. Time-domain simulation of these nonlinear systems is desirable to analyze their aeroelastic behavior over the flight envelope.

In the structural end, while simplified methods exist to model long wings with equivalent beams, essential details can only be captured with built-up finite element models. Unfortunately, these models are expensive and non-robust for extensive dynamic simulations. This dissertation builds upon previous efforts to develop nonlinear modal reduced-order models (ROMs). Training these models requires the fitting of nonlinear stiffness and displacements from static solutions. The newly introduced Enhanced Implicit Condensation and Expansion (EnICE) method accounts for the contribution of nonlinear motion to inertia forces during dynamic simulations.

The EnICE approach was integrated into the computational fluid dynamics code CFL3D for high-fidelity aeroelastic analyses. An aerodynamic ROM was developed based on convolution corrected by a nonlinear factor obtained from steady solutions. For additional speedup, the Method of Segments provides these correction factors. The aeroelastic tool arising from the two reduced-order models simulates large displacements, taking into account structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities.

Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Bicycling is an important component of future mobility for its economic, environmental, and health benefits. However, the safety issues of riding a bicycle on roadways with mixed traffic have been a major concern.

This talk covers a number of recent research projects that utilize naturalistic driving data and naturalistic cycling data to (1) examine and understand the interactions between motorists and bicyclists, and (2) support the development of automated vehicles so that they can safely interact with bicyclists on the road. The outcomes of the work could be used to support the designs of better road infrastructures, testing and benchmarking automated driving technologies, and support laws and regulations that aim to improve the safety of all road users.

Fred Feng is an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering at UM-Dearborn. His research interests include behavioral data analytics, human factors, cognitive ergonomics, and human-machine interaction.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Career Resource Center

The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Atomic Object on Tuesday, September 10, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.

Career Day Description:
Become a Junior Developer at Atomic Object and do more with your first two years post-grad. You'll outpace your peers as you write production code in your first month, work side-by-side with industry veterans, and gain soft skills it will take others years to acquire. Atomic will also invest in your career through the Accelerator program.

WHAT'S THE ACCELERATOR?
The Atomic Accelerator is an accelerated professional development program for newly-graduated developers who join Atomic Object each spring.

WHY JOIN THE ACCELERATOR?

YOU'LL HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.
This is not a glorified internship. You'll join our team as a full-fledged Atom, with the same benefits, pay scale, and responsibilities as other Atoms—including working on real software projects for Atomic clients.

YOU'LL JOIN A TEAM WITHIN A TEAM.
Become part of the Accelerator team, a small group of new grads learning and working together. You'll also connect with the larger Atomic team and spend time with senior company leaders.

YOU'LL GET COACHED FOR SUCCESS.
Dive into a guided curriculum that will polish your consultant skills and teach you to make problem-solving software for our clients. You'll also get weekly coaching and feedback from experienced Atoms.

YOU'LL KEEP ON LEARNING.
Attend a development conference each year, plus local events and user groups. Atomic is serious about ongoing learning and contributing to the larger development community.

YOU'LL JUMP START YOUR CAREER.
Get ahead in your career by joining a consultancy, where you'll work directly with clients and use new platforms/languages every 4-6 months. You'll quickly gain a larger knowledge base and professional network than your friends at product companies.

YOU'LL BECOME AN ATOM.
Join a tight-knit group of makers working in an atmosphere of friendship, collaboration, and respect. Atomic is a transparent, employee-owned company that takes great care of its employees. We're also making the software community stronger, smarter, and more diverse.

HOW TO JOIN

REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for the Accelerator, you must be:
Graduating with a Computer Science or related Bachelor's degree.
Willing to work from Atomic's Ann Arbor office.
Positive, curious, and ready to work hard and learn a lot.
A strong communicator.
Team-oriented—eager to work side-by-side with designers, clients, and other developers.

APPLICATION PROCESS:
To apply for the Atomic Accelerator, you'll need to participate in the Atomic Games (October 25 & 28). The Games are a programming competition for college students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related program.

For the Atomic Games, we’ve created an exciting turn-based game. We will provide the game and an artificial intelligence implementation for participants to play against. The game will coordinate moves between two AI engines, invoking an engine with the current game state and expecting the engine to return its next move in a reasonable amount of time. Participants will create an artificial intelligence algorithm, then face off against one another for the chance to win $500. During the Games, Atomic will be on the lookout for people to join our team in 2020 as full-time developers.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
We have little control over our environment and the challenges that come our way. But there is something we can do about our internal environment: the state of our mind, our ability to handle challenges, and bounce back. In this session, Seppälä will explore different empirically validated techniques to improve our emotional intelligence, our social connection, and our ability to endure and thrive no matter what comes our way.

About Seppälä:
Emma Seppälä, PhD is Science Director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and the author of The Happiness Track (HarperOne, 2016). She is Co-Director of the Yale College Emotional Intelligence Project at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and Faculty Director of the Yale School of Management’s Women’s Leadership Program.

Her articles have been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Washington Post, Business Insider, Psychology Today, Fast Company, Forbes, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, and NPR. She has also been a repeat guest on Good Morning America.

Much like our brands, we’re committed to finding and developing world-class leaders since leadership is one of our core values and an integral factor in our company’s success.

And you’ll do this in creative work spaces where new ideas flourish. All the while, you’ll receive world-class training to help you become a leader in your field. And it’s not just about what you’ll do, but how you’ll feel: welcomed, valued, purposeful, challenged, heard, and inspired.

P&G invites students of all levels (Freshmen through PhD) to visit our Career Day booth to learn about exciting internship and full-time positions from U-M alumni that have tremendous passion about what they do and why.

There is an increasing body of literature on understanding the process of evacuation, and it focuses both on people's behavior and emergency management. We need to consider aspects of interaction among people under nonotice disaster for planning with evacuation demand. This seminar examines the effect of social interaction on discrete choice during the network formation process. The primary objective is to evaluate influence on risk regarding from others in greater detail while considering how influencers and network structures affect one-to-one interactions. This talk examines an analytical framework for simultaneous evaluation of social interaction and social network formation. The framework is well suited to dynamic disaster situations because local interaction heavily influences human decision-making, and because network formation changes over time.

Junji Urata is an assistant professor in Department of Civil Engineering at University of Tokyo. His research interests include behavioral modeling, analytics of traffic demand, social interaction, dynamic programming, and high performance computing.

Italian filmic neorealism was more an ethic than an esthetic; it was not an organized movement but a constellation of directors and films who made a virtue of necessity. Nonetheless, in hindsight it has come to be defined by its stylistic innovations (for example, the use of location rather than studio, and of non-professional actors). As a result, the critical bibliography on the topic deals extensively with individual films, the auteurs, and with matters of form and content (the introduction of the perspective of the subaltern classes), the contribution of the musical score to the emotional and intellectual impact of the films has been given much less attention.
The purpose of this paper is that of beginning to address that lacuna.

Joseph Francese is University Distinguished Faculty at Michigan State University, Series Editor of “Studi di italianistica moderna e contemporanea nel mondo anglofono/Studies in Modern and Contemporary Italianistica in the Anglophone World” (a monograph series published by Firenze University Press) and Senior Editor emeritus of ITALIAN CULTURE (2003-2018). He is the author of numerous articles and chapters on topics in Renaissance and contemporary literature and film (including an essay on the influence of Cesare Zavattini on Latin American cinema), and has written monographs on Sciascia, Pasolini, postmodern narrative, Italian cultural politics in the 1950s, and the fictions of Eco, Consolo, and Tabucchi.
