ChE SEMINAR: “A Hitchhiker’s and Backpacker’s Guide to Drug Delivery" (September 7, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109409 109409-21821999@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 7, 2023 1:30pm
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 10
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

Join us for the ChE Student's Choice Seminar!

ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend this seminar from guest speaker Samir Mitragotri.

Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems are widely explored to improve the biological outcome of chemo and immunotherapy. However, poor vascular circulation, limited targeting and the inability to negotiate many biological barriers are key hurdles in their clinical translation. Biology has provided many examples of successful “carriers” in the form of circulatory cells, which routinely overcome the hurdles faced by synthetic nanoparticle systems. We have explored “cellular hitchhiking and backpacking” approaches which involve combining synthetic particles with circulatory cells to drastically alter the in vivo fate of the particles as well as the cells. I will provide an overview of the principles and examples of hitchhiking and backpacking approaches for drug and cell therapy.

Samir Mitragotri is the Hiller Professor of Bioengineering and Wyss Professor of Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. His research is focused on drug delivery. His research has also led to new technologies for transdermal, oral, and targeted drug delivery systems. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Medicine and National Academy of Inventors. He is an author on over 400 publications and an inventor on over 225 patents/patent applications. He is also an elected fellow of AAAS, CRS, BMES, AIMBE, and AAPS. He received BS in Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology, India and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

From the celebrated and award-winning composer Dave Malloy comes Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, an electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Following a critically exalted premiere at Ars Nova in New York City, a subsequent Off-Broadway transfer, and an acclaimed run on Broadway, this award-winning musical expands the possibilities for the genre with its daring score and bold storytelling.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:
There is no force more influential on human behavior than culture. What we wear, what we watch, who we marry, how we vote, what we support, what we do, and just about every aspect of daily living is informed by—and in many ways governed by—our cultural subscription. However, our understanding of culture lacks the depth necessary to fully harness its power and integrate it into our business and leadership practices, which inhibits today’s leaders from fully leveraging its sway to get people to take action. Those who understand the dynamics of culture are more likely to have influence, while those who do not are almost always influenced by those who do. Therefore, the aim of this talk is to unpack what gets us to a level of cultural understanding that can be used to drive behavioral adoption—i.e., get people to buy, get companies to innovate, get teams to become more customer-centric, get employees to adhere to a new policy, and the like—and, subsequently, drive business success for positive leaders.

Student Watch Party: Watch this streamed session together with other students for an in-person community experience followed by a structured discussion about how to put insights from Positive Links into practice. Registration for the Student Watch Party is included as an option when registering for this session of Positive Links.

ChE SEMINAR: "Probing the structures and reactions of molecules at catalytic solid-liquid interfaces" (September 14, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109410 109410-21822000@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 14, 2023 1:30pm
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 10
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

The ChE Seminar Series features guest speakers from various research backgrounds throughout the year. ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

Abstract: Widespread adoption of renewable forms of energy and feedstocks is likely to require much more catalytic processing in the liquid phase. Adapting catalysts optimized for converting fossil-fuel-derived hydrocarbons to handle renewable and recycled carbon is a major challenge, due to vast differences in volatility and solubility. Solvent effects arising from covalent and non-covalent interactions alter behaviors at solid surfaces and in porous catalytic materials, where interactions are strongly influenced by partitioning of molecules between the bulk liquid phase and the surface or pore volume. Nanoscale structuring of solvent molecules near these surfaces alters mobility and promotes or prevents adsorption of reactive molecules near active sites. We probe these effects at a molecular level using operando magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR, which is beginning to reveal the origins of solvent-induced activity and selectivity trends in heterogeneous catalysis.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be served.

On April 6, 2023, the Biden Administration took two actions to modernize regulatory review. First, the President signed an executive order that will focus federal agency and Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) time and resources where they can have the greatest positive effect and bring more voices into the regulatory process. And second, OIRA issued proposed revisions to its government-wide guidance on regulatory analysis, Circular A-4, to help agencies better account for the full range of benefits and costs of their regulatory actions. This talk will particularly focus on Circular A-4, including proposed revisions to guidance on discounting, geographic scope of analysis, and distributional analysis.

Richard Revesz, the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is one of the nation’s leading voices in the fields of environmental and regulatory law and policy. He is also the AnBryce Professor of Law (on leave) and dean emeritus at the New York University School of Law. Revesz has published ten books and around 80 articles in major law reviews and journals advocating for protective and rational climate change and environmental policies, and examining the institutional contexts in which regulatory policy is made.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN UTILIZING PROBABILITY PANELS: BEST PRACTICES IN PLANNING, FIELDING, AND ANALYSIS

Speakers: David Dutwin & Ipek Bilgen

Probability-based panel survey research is more widespread than ever, as the continuing decline in survey response rates makes cross-sectional sample surveys less and less accessible both in terms of fit for purpose data quality and cost. The attraction of probability panels for surveys is their ability to attain, dependent upon their recruiting methods, comparable response rates to cross-section polls, but at a lower cost and more expeditious execution. Panels are a unique type of survey research platform: Unlike cross-sections, panels recruit respondents specifically for future participation in surveys. In return, panelists are financially compensated, typically to join the panel in the first place, and then secondarily for each survey in which they participate.

These differences to cross-sectional surveys have a range of potential implications. How does the method and effort of recruiting impact who joins, and as a consequence what is best practice? What do panels do to retain panelists over time and which strategies are more successful than others? How much of a concern is panel conditioning, that is, the impact of persons repetitively taking surveys over time, and what are the implications for how frequently panelists should take surveys? How do panels, which exclusively request that panelists take surveys on the Internet, deal with people who do not have or are not comfortable using the Internet? What is the impact of panelist attrition and what are best efforts to replenish retired panelists? How successful are panels are executing true longitudinal surveys? And, given the additional layers of complexity, how are panel surveys properly weighted and estimated?

This seminar is meant to serve two purposes. First, it will serve as a guide for consumers of probability-based panels to understand what, in short, they are working with: What questions to ask and what features to understand about probability panels in evaluating their use for data collections, and how to best use probability-based panel data. Second, it will serve as an exploration of best practices for the practitioners of surveys: Raising issues of data quality, cost, and execution.

Learning Objectives:

1. For consumers of panel data: Understanding the features of panels with which to be knowledgeable; to know the important questions to ask panel vendors when assessing their fit for purpose of your research.
2. For researchers and practitioners: To understand the many dimensions and decision points in the building, maintenance, deployment, and delivery of multi-client panels and panel data.

About the exhibition:
In “Half-Built House,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering, breaking, sawing, splicing, painting, gluing, layering, and reassembling these toys became, for her, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.”

The ChE seminar series features guest speakers. U-M ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

Viral infection begins when a virus particle breeches the host plasma membrane and successfully delivers its genome into that cell. Though these processes must occur for every viral pathogen that infects a host cell, the entry route can vary markedly depending on the viral agent, the host cell type, and the local microenvironmental conditions. Virus particles are responsive to their environment and use cues from it to adapt and successfully time the entry process into the host cell. Thus, it is a continual evolutionary battle between the host and the virus to thwart infection and disease. This battle is biased toward the host prevailing when scientists and medicinal chemists develop antiviral drugs and strategies that can block viral entry. The rational design of antivirals is aided by tools that allow entry processes to be examined directly, for example, the binding to a receptor on a host cell and the fusion of the viral membrane with the host membrane for genome delivery. The resolution of these processes with live cells is difficult and indirect. Here we describe a new platform for measuring these viral entry processes using a bioelectronic biomembrane chip. We illustrate the power of the approach using SARS-CoV-2 and influenza as examples of replicating the infection process on chip.

Dr. Susan Daniel is the Fred H. Rhodes Professor of Chemical Engineering and the William C. Hooey Director of the Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Cornell University. Her research team strives to understand phenomena at biological interfaces and chemically patterned surfaces that interact with soft matter – liquids; polymers; and biological materials, like cells, viruses, proteins, and lipids. Her team pioneered “biomembrane chips” to conduct cell-free, biophysical studies of mammalian, bacterial, and plant cell membranes, and recently merged this technology with organic electronic devices for expanded sensing capabilities. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and the National Science Foundation Career Award. She has published in Science, Proceedings of the National Academies of Science, and other top journals.

As she assembled these objects, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering, breaking, sawing, splicing, painting, gluing, layering, and reassembling these toys became, for her, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.”

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

What’s Reading Got to Do with It?: Reading to Support Writing in Graduate School

This workshop will explore how you can read strategically to support your work as a writer in your academic field and discipline.

What is the relationship between reading and writing for academic purposes? How can we read to support our work as writers in our specific academic fields and disciplines? In this 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop, you will discover answers to these questions through guided reflection on your current reading (and writing) practices, as well as a hands-on introduction to specific reading strategies that support writing. You'll also leave with additional resources and ideas for how to continue to explore and develop the reading-writing connection in your own academic work.

Presenter: Megan Behrend, Sweetland Center for Writing

Over the past three years, COVID-19 has taken the lives of more than one million Americans. Nearly one-fifth of us knew someone among them. All of us have been impacted. In a culture that avoids talk of death and puts grief on a timeline, what does our mourning look
like? How will we manage the voids the pandemic has created? Currently in production, Afterthought: Remembering a Pandemic is a documentary feature about COVID memorials
and the people who build them. It centers on two projects: a community memorial in Detroit involving thousands of participants, and one artist’s personal memorial in New York commemorating the loss of a friend. In documenting these stories, “Afterthought”
memorializes individuals lost and communities changed by the pandemic and asks universal questions about shared trauma, memory, and healing. Join the filmmakers for a free screening of clips from the film-in-progress, followed by conversation.

This workshop invites graduate students to consider film as a modality for presenting research. It explores art as a pathway for resisting the centrality of text in academic expression. “Afterthought" director and University of Michigan Ph.D. student Charlotte Juergens will share clips from three academic film projects, discuss the possibilities and challenges of film as a research methodology, and work with attendees to troubleshoot next steps for integrating film into their academic practices. This event will include a continental breakfast.

Aiming to equip students, faculty and staff with the skills to increase their self-confidence and preparedness for the unexpected, the Engineering Student Government (ESG) in partnership with UofM Division of Public Safety & Security (DPSS) is bringing the SaferSelf project back for the 2nd time. Starting *on September 11th and running until October 2nd* a series of free empowerment self-defense workshops will be held *weekly on Mondays from 7:30pm to 9:00pm in Great Lakes North in Palmer Commons (changed location!).*

Empowerment self-defense sessions explore the culture of violence, and teach concrete but practical effective skills for personal safety and physical self defense in a wide variety of contexts ranging from harassment to sexual assault. Participants will be able to:
- understand how situational awareness can deter or prevent an attack.
use verbal skills for assertive communication.
- evade and set boundaries (verbal & physical).
- use practical options to make ourselves more comfortable when uncomfortable situations occur.
- recognize and interrupt unwanted behavior when in social situations, interpersonal/intimate relationships as well as interactions with strangers.

The series will be composed of the following workshops led by DPSS Empowerment Self Defense Program Manager Candace Dorsey:
1. Introduction to physical self-defense
2. Physical self-defense with strikes and kicks with pads
3. Physical self-defense with boxing element combination striking
4. Top-to-bottom pressure points

Face masks will be required regardless of vaccination status.

Insurgents and Intellectuals: Thought and Practice on the Left in US History

What is the historic relation of left-wing politics and modern intellectual life? How have today’s humanist disciplines in the academy been influenced by a scholarly generation radicalized as part of late-1960s insurgent movements (and by a secondary generation schooled by that one)?

Circa 1950, “the intellectuals” as a social phenomenon, whether “critical” or conformist, absorbed a great deal of attention—just as “intellectual history” stood as a prominent part of the historical discipline. Now, hardly anyone will talk of “the intellectuals” as a group, stratum, or role-carriers of a distinct sort. Within the academy, talk of “intellectuals” has devolved into a placid appreciation of “public intellectuals,” or those whom administrators value for “engaged scholarship.” But what of the “radical left” in the sense suggested by Howard Brick and Christopher Phelps’s Radicals in America: The U.S. Left since the Second World War: a variegated, concrete social current of dissent in the United States, from the time of the Abolitionists (circa 1830) to the present, identified with radical visions of new, dramatically transformed social relations characterized by wide-ranging emancipation, equality, and democratic participation in collective self-government?

This conference asks for a new approach to an old question regarding intellectuals and politics: To what extent has there been an identifiable left-wing intellectual tradition within and/or without the more general mainstream sense of an “American intellectual tradition”? And insofar as we can locate such, to what extent has it been historically significant—significant, that is, in terms beyond the high-cultural virtue of contributing to knowledge but in an effectual sense of helping to shape (as it is shaped by) human action generally, its structures, conflicts, and development? And finally, what can we say, historically, about the practical impact or efficacy of this radical left intellectual tradition/lineage over time or at particular moments?

Abstract: The need for creating safe electrolytes for lithium batteries is significant given the continued safety problems associated with current lithium-ion batteries. Nonflammable polymer electrolytes, mixtures of polymers and salt, offer a possible solution, but the rate of lithium ion transport is too low for practical applications. In this talk, I will discuss some of the fundamental factors that limit ion transport in polymers. The performance of electrolytes depends on the current of the working ion under an applied electric potential. Since the current is proportional to the product of the concentration and ion velocity, the velocity of the working ion is of paramount importance. We discuss approaches for predicting ion velocities based on Newman’s concentrated solution theory. The importance of the continuity equation in the presence of ionic current is discussed. We test our predictions on a standard polymer electrolyte based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). To obtain a mechanically robust solid electrolyte, we use PEO-containing block copolymers wherein the other block is glassy (and rigid) polystyrene. Ion transport through these systems can also be described by concentrated solution theory. We conclude by describing our efforts to develop new polymers that exhibit higher ion velocities than PEO.

Insurgents and Intellectuals: Thought and Practice on the Left in US History

What is the historic relation of left-wing politics and modern intellectual life? How have today’s humanist disciplines in the academy been influenced by a scholarly generation radicalized as part of late-1960s insurgent movements (and by a secondary generation schooled by that one)?

Circa 1950, “the intellectuals” as a social phenomenon, whether “critical” or conformist, absorbed a great deal of attention—just as “intellectual history” stood as a prominent part of the historical discipline. Now, hardly anyone will talk of “the intellectuals” as a group, stratum, or role-carriers of a distinct sort. Within the academy, talk of “intellectuals” has devolved into a placid appreciation of “public intellectuals,” or those whom administrators value for “engaged scholarship.” But what of the “radical left” in the sense suggested by Howard Brick and Christopher Phelps’s Radicals in America: The U.S. Left since the Second World War: a variegated, concrete social current of dissent in the United States, from the time of the Abolitionists (circa 1830) to the present, identified with radical visions of new, dramatically transformed social relations characterized by wide-ranging emancipation, equality, and democratic participation in collective self-government?

This conference asks for a new approach to an old question regarding intellectuals and politics: To what extent has there been an identifiable left-wing intellectual tradition within and/or without the more general mainstream sense of an “American intellectual tradition”? And insofar as we can locate such, to what extent has it been historically significant—significant, that is, in terms beyond the high-cultural virtue of contributing to knowledge but in an effectual sense of helping to shape (as it is shaped by) human action generally, its structures, conflicts, and development? And finally, what can we say, historically, about the practical impact or efficacy of this radical left intellectual tradition/lineage over time or at particular moments?

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

Who Are You Talking To?: Identifying and Responding To Your Interlocutors

This workshop will address how reading skills and writing conventions allow you to ethically represent others’ knowledge and support your arguments.

Interlocutors are those you engage with in your research and writing; they may appear (re: be valued) differently across disciplines. This workshop will address how reading skills and writing conventions allow you to ethically represent others’ knowledge and support your arguments. Participants will work with peers to talk through rhetorical decisions scholars make when identifying and responding to interlocutors and set goals of how to use the workshop experience in their own graduate writing careers.

Presenter: April Conway, Sweetland Center for Writing

About the exhibition:
In “Half-Built House,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering, breaking, sawing, splicing, painting, gluing, layering, and reassembling these toys became, for her, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.”

Mackenzie Warwick
Title: Development of Tapered Specimen Geometries for Accelerated Ion Irradiation Creep Testing of 316 Stainless Steel
Description: Given the rapid increase of average global temperatures coupled with the rise in global energy consumption, we need a high-power density, carbon-reduced energy source. Nuclear reactor concepts can provide such energy and advanced designs couple high temperature (>300°C), high stress (>100 MPa), high dose (>25 displacements per atom – dpa), and corrosive environments in-core to generate the necessary power. These coupled extreme environments place unparalleled dependencies on the irradiation creep strength of materials. We have developed tapered specimen geometries for ion irradiation creep testing to simulate in-core coupled extremes and to rapidly iterate across in-core environmental factors within a single or small subset of irradiation experiments.
Short Bio: Mackenzie Warwick is a fourth-year PhD candidate in NERS, with a focus on ion irradiation creep and material performance in coupled extreme environments. Mackenzie is an intern at Idaho National Laboratory researching crystal plasticity and modeling of creep mechanisms for long-term performance prediction.

About the exhibition:
In “Half-Built House,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering, breaking, sawing, splicing, painting, gluing, layering, and reassembling these toys became, for her, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.”

Seminar Abstract:
In myriad statistical applications, data is collected from related but heterogeneous sources. These sources share some commonalities while containing idiosyncratic characteristics. Is it possible to recover the shared and source-specific factors? We show that under appropriate conditions on the alignment of source-specific factors, the problem is well-defined, and both shared and source-specific factors are identifiable under a constrained matrix factorization objective. To solve this objective, we propose a new class of matrix factorization algorithms called heterogeneous matrix factorization. HMF is easy to implement, enjoys local linear convergence under suitable assumptions, and is intrinsically distributed. Through a variety of empirical studies, we showcase the advantageous properties of HMF and its potential application in feature extraction and anomaly detection. We also show HMF's capabilities in handling large noise and missing entries.

New data, new questions, old problems? Online behavioral data in social science research

Records of individuals’ online activities obtained from devices like personal computers and smartphones have received a lot of interest in the social sciences in recent years. Many have praised such data for allowing fine-grained observations of individuals’ online activities which would be impossible with more traditional data sources such as surveys. Recent work, however, warns that many data quality aspects of these novel data are so far poorly under- stood. As the number of observations can quickly reach several millions, researchers seem tempted to treat online behavioral data as gold standard, ignore what their data may be missing, and which other systematic biases may be present. In this talk, I present both applied and methodological work using online behavioral data in a typical social science setting. First, using within-between random effects models, I show how online behavioral data combined with a panel survey allows us to understand the effects of news media consumption from populist alternative news platforms on individuals’ political attitudes. Second, I show that online behavioral data, although containing detailed records of individuals’ social media use, are far from being complete. Using hidden Markov models, combined online behavioral data, survey records, and donated social media data, I show that the online behavioral data seem to completely fail in capturing social media use for about one third of the sample. I emphasize the need for researchers to navigate the complexities of online behavioral data, highlighting potentials and limitations.

Ruben Bach is a Research Fellow at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research, University of Mannheim, Germany. His research is concerned with data quality in social science data products and applied computational social science (media consumption, political attitudes, socially responsible AI). In the fall of 2023, he is a visitor with the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, University of Waterloo, Ontario.

The ChE Seminar Series features guest speakers from various research backgrounds throughout the year. ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

Abstract: Computational algorithms are now powerful enough that they can predict many properties of materials, chemicals and processes before they are synthesized/performed. By implementing and developing new approaches to calculate materials and chemical properties in supercomputers, we have predicted hundreds of thousands materials for energy capture, conversion and storage (e.g. batteries and catalysts).

The computations predicted several new materials which were later made and tested in the lab. The creation of our large amount of materials in-silico. We have implemented different machine learning methods to find further (materials or reaction) design principles. Some of the applications of the design principles of materials has been used towards developing an alternative way to generate and store energy (e.g. next generation Li-batteries, H2 storage), prediction of materials with new properties (mechanic and electronic) and chemical reactions paths (epoxide polymerization and chemical reactions in general).

Bio: Professor Jose Mendoza has been recognized for his impressive research career, awards, and national media coverage. He is an emerging leader in the fields of theoretical chemistry and computational materials science.

This paper asks what happens when we examine Levinasian exposure—understood as performative articulation of political concepts—in light of what Fred Moten calls the “social aesthetics of Black radicalism.” It will consider Moten’s critique of Levinas while simultaneously “exposing” the notion of exposure to poetry and rhythm, which can be seen (or heard) as opening his thought beyond the limits that Moten ascribes to it.

About the exhibition:
In “Half-Built House,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering, breaking, sawing, splicing, painting, gluing, layering, and reassembling these toys became, for her, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.”

ChE SEMINAR: “Multi-Scale Energy Systems Engineering – Methodologies & Tools" (October 19, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109448 109448-21822036@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 19, 2023 1:30pm
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 10
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

The ChE seminar series features guest speakers. U-M ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

Multi-scale Energy Systems Engineering provides a methodological, generic framework to arrive at realistic integrated solutions to complex energy problems by adopting a holistic, systems-based approach. This framework aims to address the complex energy and environmental problems existing in design, control and operation of energy and process systems, and their supply chains in an integrated manner, by producing optimal design and operational plans for systems ranging from nanoscale, micro-scale, meso-scale to mega-scale levels over horizons that range from seconds/minutes to months or years.

Methodologies in multi-scale energy systems engineering include superstructure optimization with high-fidelity & data-driven models, large-scale mixed integer optimization strategies, integrated material and process design, control & operations under uncertainty, and life-cycle and sustainability assessment. Such a holistic approach is particularly powerful to analyze future scenarios towards establishing viable and business-sensible energy transition strategies, which take systematically into consideration the energy-process-mobility-materials interactions within a value and supply chain perspective. The seminar will illustrate the concepts, methods and software prototype software tools of such an integrated modeling strategy in two application areas, namely (i) SYNOPSIS – a tool for the synthesis of operable process intensification and modular systems, and (ii) ENERGIAPY – a renewable resources utilization tool focusing on energy and material transition scenario analysis. Optimization and data-analytics capabilities will be also highlighted.

Professor Pistikopoulos is the Director of the Texas A&M Energy Institute and holds the Dow Chemical Chair Professorship in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University.

The Punctum & the Phosphorus, the Torque & the Haunt: In Search of The Poem (or Story) We Can't Shake Off - EVENT CANCELED (October 20, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/108981 108981-21820679@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 20, 2023 10:00am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Zell Visiting Writers Series

THIS EVENT IS CANCELED

Zell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in The Robert Hayden Conference Room, Angell Hall #3222). Seats are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.

We will examine a selection of poems and other literary artworks (from the dead and the living), on the lookout for the ‘punctum’ and the ‘phosphorus’, the 'torque' and the 'haunt'—considering together the words, phrases, musical moves and formal choices that make the work viscerally felt and indelible, impossible to forget or shrug off.
The lenses and touchstones of our discussion will be the punctum vs. studium concept, formulated by Roland Barthes in Camera Lucida, and the William Carlos Williams quote from In the American Grain:
It has been my wish to draw from every source one thing,
the strange phosphorus of the life. . .

For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building, event space, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209), reflection room (Haven Hall #1506), and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request; please email kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event, whenever possible, to allow time to arrange services.

U-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St., Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St., Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue. The Forest Avenue Public Parking Structure (650 South Forest Ave., Ann Arbor) is five blocks away, and the parking rate is $1.20 per hour. All of these options include parking spots for individuals with disabilities.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

How to Make Revision Count: Revising Practices for Graduate Students

This workshop will introduce new graduate students to revising practices to help them thrive in their academic writing.

The most critical phase in the writing process is also the most mysterious and untaught. Revision is especially challenging for first-year graduate writers learning to write extended arguments for academic purposes. What do academic writers do when they revise? How does an early draft become a polished, publishable article? This workshop will demystify the role of revision in academic writing – to advance and refine our good ideas! – and provide strategies to help you build quality revision into your writing practice. You will expand your revising practices and elevate your writing game.

About the exhibition:
In “Half-Built House,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering, breaking, sawing, splicing, painting, gluing, layering, and reassembling these toys became, for her, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.”

European History Workshop: Book Talk (October 24, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113721 113721-21831507@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 24, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: European History Workshop

The European History Workshop (EHW) is proud to announce the workshop’s first book-talk of the semester, featuring the Charles Tilly Collegiate Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan, Prof. George Steinmetz. He has graciously agreed to speak about his recent book, *The Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought: French Sociology and the Overseas Empire* (Princeton University Press, 2023).

Prof. Steinmetz will join us on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM at 1014 Tisch. The EHW will serve light refreshments. The professor’s talk will be followed by discussant commentary from the EHW’s co-coordinators, Keanu Heydari and Paige Newhouse, and then will open to questions and comments from workshop participants.

From the publisher: “In this provocative and original retelling of the history of French social thought, George Steinmetz places the history and development of modern French sociology in the context of the French empire after World War II. Connecting the rise of all the social sciences with efforts by France and other imperial powers to consolidate control over their crisis-ridden colonies, Steinmetz argues that colonial research represented a crucial core of the renascent academic discipline of sociology, especially between the late 1930s and the 1960s. Sociologists, who became favored partners of colonial governments, were asked to apply their expertise to such “social problems” as detribalization, urbanization, poverty, and labor migration. This colonial orientation permeated all the major subfields of sociological research, Steinmetz contends, and is at the center of the work of four influential scholars: Raymond Aron, Jacques Berque, Georges Balandier, and Pierre Bourdieu.”

ChE SEMINAR: “Organic Semiconductor-Incorporated Perovskites (OSiP) – A New Family of Hybrid Electronic Materials” (October 26, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109441 109441-21822029@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 26, 2023 1:30pm
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 10
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

The ChE seminar series features guest speakers. U-M ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

Abstract: Halide perovskites are exciting new semiconductors that show great promising in low cost and high-performance optoelectronics devices including solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, lasers, etc. However, the poor stability is limiting their practical use. In this talk, I will present the development of a new family of stable organic-inorganic hybrid electronic materials, namely, Organic Semiconductor-Incorporated Perovskites (OSiP). Energy transfer and charge transfer between adjacent organic and inorganic layers are extremely fast and efficient, owing to the atomically-flat interface and ultra-small interlayer distance. Moreover, the rigid conjugated ligands dramatically enhance materials’ chemical stability and suppresses solid-state ion diffusion and electron-photon coupling, making them promising for many applications. Based on this, we demonstrate for the first time an epitaxial halide perovskite heterostructure with near atomically-sharp interface, which pave the way for perovskite nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. Finally, using this stable and solution-processable OSiPs, we demonstrate the fabrication of high-quality thin films, which enable highly stable and efficient solar cells and LEDs.

How Do You Conceptualize Your Time in Graduate School?: From the Physical to the Philosophical (October 27, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110448 110448-21824931@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 3:00pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

How Do You Conceptualize Your Time in Graduate School?: From the Physical to the Philosophical

This workshop will address time management strategies, and effective habits and motivation for early graduate school success.

Time management and productivity may not seem like an exciting topic, but harnessing concrete tactics and strategies for how to maintain autonomy and agency over your own schedule is a crucial skill in graduate school. You will find yourself juggling multiple, and often competing, priorities– and many of them have to do with writing… lots, and lots of writing! This 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop will address time management strategies across scales (from pomodoros to physical planners to semester and year-long planning), as well as considerations regarding habits and motivation. The earlier you find what works for you, the more you can tailor your schedule to fit your life instead of the other way around!

Presenter: Cat Cassel, Sweetland Center for Writing

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

We are excited to invite all interested students to attend an open house to learn about the UM's graduate program in Engineering Education Research (EER). UM's EER program represents a unique, interdisciplinary model: EER Ph.D. students (who enjoy a full funding package) and M.S. students are part of a college-wide program, while several tenure-line EER faculty are embedded within the traditional engineering departments. The integrated nature of the program allows the EER faculty and their research groups to be well-integrated with the traditional engineering disciplines, and it provides students a better opportunity to engage in innovative research and make scholarly contributions to the engineering education community. More information about the program is available at our EER website (https://eer.engin.umich.edu/)

Students from all institutions are invited to attend (a Zoom link will be emailed prior to the program). Participants will hear about the EER graduate program, meet faculty who are recruiting students for AY 2024-25, and learn about career opportunities as a UM graduate in this field. Application fee waivers will be provided to those who attend.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:
We live in enormously polarized times. From politics to race, religion, gender, and class, division runs rampant. In 2020, 40 percent of each political party said that supporters of the opposing party were “downright evil.” In 2019, hate crimes reached a ten-year high in the United States. One in five Americans suffers from chronic loneliness. How did we become so alienated? Why is our sense of belonging so undermined?

Join Geoffrey Cohen, author of Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, in a fireside chat with Ethan Kross to learn science-backed techniques for navigating modern social life that can help us overcome our differences, create empathy, and forge lasting connections even across divides. Geoffrey will share useful takeaways for managers and educators of all stripes to create connection – even during challenging times – and improve daily life at work, in school, in our homes, and in our communities. Learn how belonging can help those around you thrive.

Student Watch Party: Watch this streamed session together with other students for an in-person community experience followed by a structured discussion about how to put insights from Positive Links into practice. Registration for the Student Watch Party is included as an option when registering for this session of Positive Links.

About Cohen:
Geoffrey L. Cohen is a Professor of Psychology and the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business at Stanford University. He is a social psychologist by training and received his PhD at Stanford and his BA at Cornell.

Professor Cohen’s research examines the processes that shape people’s sense of belonging and self-concept and the role that these processes play in various social problems. He has studied the big and small threats to belonging and self-integrity that people encounter in school, work, healthcare settings, politics, communities, and relationships. He and others have developed concrete, science-backed strategies to create more welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life. He believes that the development of psychological theory depends not just on descriptive and observational research but on theory-driven intervention. He has long been inspired by Kurt Lewin’s quip, “The best way to understand something is to try to change it.”

Host:
Ethan Kross, Faculty Associate, Center for Positive Organizations; Professor of Psychology and Management & Organizations, University of Michigan

Series Sponsors:
The Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, and Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies for their support of the 2023-24 Positive Links Speaker Series.

Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Critical Contemporary Studies Workshop

The talk, “Tipwork, Gigwork, and the Wages of Service,” suggests that representations of “essential work” oscillate between sentimentalized depictions of service work as “productive” or heroic and a counter-discourse of service work as uniquely abject or degraded. It reads these contradictions through the history of feminized, racialized, and informalized wage forms like piece-rate and tips and connects that history to contemporary comparisons of service work to sex work.

PhD Research Talk: Baoyu Zhou (November 7, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114348 114348-21832769@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 7, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Industrial and Operations Engineering Building
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

Seminar Abstract:
In this talk, I will present some recents works on the design, analysis, and implementation of practical algorithms for solving stochastic optimization problems with constraints, while such problems arise from important applications including artificial intelligence, inventory control, power systems, etc. The first part of this talk focuses on some new understandings of an inexact regularized L-shaped algorithm for two-stage stochastic programming problems. Under common assumptions including fixed recourse and bounded (sub)gradients, we provide the number of iterations, operations, and samples that the algorithm needs to find a near-optimal solution, where the radius of the convergence neighborhood depends on the level of the inexactness of objective function estimates. In the second part, I will introduce a sequential quadratic programming method for minimizing a stochastic objective function subject to deterministic constraints. In addition to presenting the theoretical convergence behavior, we compare the empirical performance of our proposed method with other alternatives to demonstrate the advantages of our algorithm. In the end, I will discuss some of my future research directions.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Teamwork or collaboration skills are integral to contemporary engineering practice and are highly valued in academic and industry settings. ABET also considers vital teamwork skills as one key student learning outcome for accreditation and evaluation of engineering education. Research shows that student learning outcomes are highly affected by faculty beliefs about teaching and learning. Effective professional development programs for faculty need to understand their beliefs as these beliefs shape their teaching practices. As engineering practice and engineering education are becoming increasingly globalized, we need to take a more culturally relevant approach to understand how key competencies such as teamwork are culturally constructed and how the development of faculty beliefs is affected by broader cultural factors. In this seminar, Yi will introduce some of her educational background and research experiences to provide an international lens to understand teamwork in engineering education. She will then present a systematic review of the existing Chinese literature on how Chinese faculty conceptualize teamwork in the classroom. In conclusion, she will also talk about some parts of her dissertation, how faculty in the US develop their teaching beliefs about teamwork.

Seminar Abstract:
We study a feature-based pricing problem with demand censoring in an offline data-driven setting. In this problem, a firm is endowed with a finite amount of inventory, and faces a random demand that is dependent on the offered price and the covariates (from products, customers, or both). Any unsatisfied demand that exceeds the inventory level is lost and unobservable. The firm does not know the demand function but has access to an offline dataset consisting of quadruplets of historical covariates, inventory, price, and potentially censored sales quantity. Our objective is to use the offline dataset to find the optimal feature-based pricing rule so as to maximize the expected profit. Through the lens of causal inference, we propose a novel data-driven algorithm that is motivated by survival analysis and doubly robust estimation. We derive a finite sample regret bound to justify the proposed offline learning algorithm and prove its robustness. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate the robust performance of our proposed algorithm in accurately estimating optimal prices on both training and testing data. Furthermore, these experiments highlight the value of considering demand censoring in the context of feature-based pricing.

Abstract:
Graphene Oxide Liquid Crystal (GOLC) is an intriguing 2D carbon based soft material, which exhibits nematic type colloidal discotic liquid crystallinity with the orientational ordering of graphene oxide flakes in good solvents, including water. Since our first discovery of GOLC in aqueous dispersion at 2009, this interesting mesophase has been utilized over world-wide for many different application fields, such as liquid crystalline graphene fiber spinning, highly ordered graphene membrane/film production for water treatment, nanoporous graphene assembly for energy/environmental applications and so on. Interestingly, GOLC also allow us a valuable opportunity for the highly ordered molecular scale assembly of functional nanoscale structures. This presentation will introduce our current status of GOLC and other 2D material research particularly focusing on the nanoscale assembly of functional nanostructures, including highly oriented 1D fibers, 2D films and 3D nanoporous structures. In particular, human muscle inspired graphene based nanocomposite fiber actuators will be highlighted along with its interesting demonstration for biomimetic behaviors. Besides, relevant research works associated to the nanoscale assembly and chemical modification of various low dimensional materials, including 2D TMDs and MXene, will be presented particularly aiming at energy and environmental applications. In the last part of presentation, our first discovery of single atom catalyst will be introduced, including other relevant research efforts exploiting the customized heteroelement doping of graphene based structures.

Positive Links Speaker Series: Where Does DEI go from Here?
Laura Morgan Roberts
Thursday, November 16, 2023
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET

Event link: https://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/events/where-does-dei-go-from-here/

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:
Join us in conversation with one of the world’s most renowned voices bringing a positive organizational scholarship lens to topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion at work. Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts will discuss the headwinds slowing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives amid an uncertain economy and efforts to dismantle diversity programs through court rulings and legislation. Laura emphasizes that leaders will benefit from a focus on an overarching goal, that of creating four freedoms that are central to creating conditions necessary for all workers to flourish. Laura will share how to foster these four freedoms at work – the freedom to be, the freedom to become, the freedom to fade, and the freedom to fail – and how doing so can make organizations more welcoming and safer for everyone. Laura will share practical and powerful approaches, including encouraging individual allyship, implementing strengths-based development programs, and enabling flexible work, and how these approaches can more evenly distribute these four freedoms, reducing rates of disengagement and burnout, especially for those in marginalized groups.

Student Watch Party: Watch this streamed session together with other students for an in-person community experience followed by a structured discussion about how to put insights from Positive Links into practice. Registration for the Student Watch Party is included as an option when registering for this session of Positive Links.

ChE SEMINAR: "Sustainable Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion Technologies" (November 16, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109449 109449-21822037@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 16, 2023 1:30pm
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 10
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

The ChE Seminar Series features guest speakers from various research backgrounds throughout the year. ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

Abstract: The biggest challenge humanity is facing is climate change. We need multi-disciplinary research efforts to help mitigate CO2 emissions and ideally reach a zero-pollution society by 2050 or sooner. In this talk, I will present my research group efforts in this quest for sustainability and advanced technology. I will talk about our research in designing sustainable and cost-effective carbon anodes for Na ion batteries as well as cathodes for Li-S batteries. I will introduce the concepts of both Li and Na “anodeless” batteries which may help us to get to higher energy densities. I will also talk about our efforts in replacing Pt at the cathode of fuel cells by N-Fe-C catalysts and our LCA studies suggesting that perhaps this route is not the most sustainable of all. If time allows, I will also talk about our latest research in biomass electrolysis allowing us to produce green H2 and high value chemicals at the same time with a lower electricity consumption compared to water electrolysis.

Bio: Magda Titirici is a Chair in Sustainable Energy Materials at Imperial College London in the Department of Chemical Engineering and a RAEng Chair in Sustainable Emerging Technologies.

Writing Literature Reviews (November 30, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112391 112391-21828864@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 30, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

How do I turn this never-ending tangle of literature into a neat, polished review? In this interactive workshop, we'll cover laying the foundation for your scholarly literature review and then taking that first critical step towards composition. We'll crowdsource tips for generating a source list, organizing it as you go, and starting to extract themes and ideas for section headings from your reading library. We'll also cover the basics of structure to reduce the barrier for writing your first sections. Whether you're halfway through or just starting out, you'll have a chance to take the next step on organizing, defining your purpose, or revising your argumentation. This presentation will focus on reviews in the sciences, but concepts are generalizable to all literature reviews.

Presented by Jimmy Brancho, Sweetland Center for Writing

Rackham / Sweetland Workshops, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.

Students play the part of executives responding to the issues as they unfold, while leveraging the expertise of communication coaches, faculty, and a board of directors made up of esteemed U-M alumni, to prepare for a press conference attended by real members of the media.

This year's LCC will be held on January 25-26 and is open to ALL U-M students. There are two levels of competition—graduate and undergraduate. Two undergraduate teams and two graduate teams will receive a scholarship, split among participants. In addition to the competition, there will be educational workshops, a networking session, and access to the Big House field.

Don't miss out on this amazing, one-of-a-kind opportunity! Apply by January 21.

BARE is a coming-of-age rock musical with music by Damon Intrabartolo, and lyrics and a book by Jon Hartmere. A group of high school seniors at a Catholic boarding school faces issues of sexuality and personal identity. As they struggle to come to terms with who they are, and who the world thinks they should be, they seek answers from their Church, their friends, and ultimately, from within themselves. Its rich, vibrant score draws on many styles of contemporary music.
