UN/EARTH (April 1, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/105121 105121-21810836@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 1, 2023 10:00am
Location: Museum of Natural History
Organized By: Museum of Natural History

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Livestreamed Lecture and Q&A Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osqz65p5hK8

Scientists exploit the special properties of quantum physics to advance the state-of-the-art in measurement and imaging. These "quantum tools" can be used to probe the nature, history, and fate of the Universe–and can also be applied to down-to-Earth problems, ranging from health to security to navigation. I will describe some examples that have emerged from my laboratory and others over the last couple of decades.

Synthetic chemists need ever better tools to synthesize the molecules of modern life, from life-changing pharmaceuticals to next generation materials. Further, there is increasing need for these transformations to be both step and atom efficient and sustainable, proceeding under mild conditions using earth abundant elements. Here we show how employing open shell intermediates strategically allows for challenging transformations to be achieved directly, from alkene difunctionalization to carboxylic acid deletion. Importantly, these reactions make use of earth abundant elements and proceed under mild conditions, with many being driven by light. Together, our studies demonstrate the versatility of radical reactions to achieve challenging disconnections that are sustainable and environmentally-responsible.

CM-AMO Seminar | Chiral phonon-spin coupling in hexagonal lattices (April 4, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103128 103128-21806153@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 4, 2023 3:00pm

The electronic and magnetic properties of solids are fundamentally determined by the crystal structures. When the structure keeps evolving, the properties are usually determined by the instantaneous lattice configurations, but this may not always be true. When phonons are coherently excited in solids, the atoms oscillate back and forth around their equilibrium positions, and one would expect the perturbation on electronic properties to largely cancel out. But a qualitative change might be possible with atomic motions called “chiral phonons”, which break time-reversal symmetry and would in principle affect all properties protected by such symmetry. Chiral phonons with quantized angular momentum are simply guaranteed by multi-fold rotational symmetry, and thus are rather common in materials and have been predicted to cause unexpected magnetic, topological, and transport phenomena. In this talk, I will first briefly introduce the discovery of chiral phonons in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, which exhibit spin-valley locking and chiral electron-phonon coupling. I will then discuss the general properties of chiral phonons originating from time-reversal symmetry breaking, and give an example on the optical control and the magnetic properties of chiral phonons in rare earth halides. Finally, I will introduce quantum coherent spin-phonon coupling in 2D antiferromagnets, leading to magnon-phonon hybridization, nontrivial topology, and chiral edge states. Together, these phenomena demonstrate a new paradigm of dynamic structural-property relationship in quantum materials.

This presentation will track a series of discoveries of previously unknown atmospheric forces, made in Vienna between the 1770s and 1850s: animal magnetism, Aereon, and Od. I propose that these belonged to a larger category of atmospheric influences on living things whose workings were obscure yet tantalizing, including ozone, moonlight, and “atmospheric electricity” (the last a new designation to distinguish it from that generated by electrical machines).

The controversies that surrounded the discoveries of these forces need to be recognized as episodes in an overlooked history: the history of investigating the interrelations of life and the atmosphere. I show how this strain of research reflected the Habsburgs’ imperial and industrial ambitions. It is a story with telling parallels in present-day attempts to study the determinants of environmental health and to measure what experts refer to as “degrees of vulnerability” to climate change.

Stephanie Morales is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan's Program in Survey and Data Science. She holds a BA in Psychology and an MA in Sociology. She is interested in cross-cultural surveys, measurement error in data collection with racial/ethnic minorities, and adaptive survey design.

Assessing Cross-Cultural Comparability of Self-Rated Health and Its Conceptualization through Web Probing

Self-rated health (SRH) is a widely used question across different fields, as it is simple to administer yet has been shown to predict mortality. SRH asks respondents to rate their overall health typically using Likert-type response scales (i.e., excellent, very good, good, fair, poor). Although SRH is commonly used, few studies have examined its conceptualization from the respondents’ point of view and even less so for differences in its conceptualization across diverse populations. We aim to assess the comparability of SRH across different cultural groups by investigating the factors that respondents consider when responding to the SRH question. We included an open-ended probe asking what respondents thought when responding to SRH in web surveys conducted in five countries: Great Britain, Germany, the U.S., Spain, and Mexico. In the U.S., we targeted six racial/ethnic and linguistic groups: English-dominant Koreans, Korean-dominant Koreans, English-dominant Latinos, Spanish-dominant Latinos, non-Latino Black Americans, and non-Latino White Americans. One novelty of our study is allowing multiple attribute codes (e.g., health behaviors, illness) per respondent and tone (e.g., in the direction of positive or negative health or neutral) of the probing responses for each attribute, allowing us 1) to assess respondents’ thinking process holistically and 2) to examine whether and how respondents mix attributes. Our study compares the number of reported attributes and tone by cultural groups and integrates SRH responses in the analysis. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of SRH by revealing the cognitive processes among diverse populations and is expected to shed light on its cross-cultural comparability.

Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS)
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT)
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

The Standard Model of particle physics has been a crowning achievement of fundamental physics, culminating in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. As a quantum theory of the building blocks of matter and forces, it has been one of the most successful theories in science. The recent measurement of the mass of the W boson disagrees with the theory prediction. This upset to the Standard Model may point towards exciting new discoveries in particle physics in the coming years. We will discuss the Standard Model, the crucial role of the W boson, and how it has become the harbinger of new laws of nature.

ABSTRACT:

Genomic rearrangements, also known as structural variations (SVs), are large scale alterations that changes the DNA structure. They include deletions, duplications, insertions, and other forms that are accompanied by copy number changes as well as inversions, translocations, and other copy-neutral forms. They are an important type of variation, affecting an order of magnitude more base pairs than single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in normal human population. In cancer, several chromosomal translocations have been identified and subsequently became targets of successful treatments. However, the functional impact of genomic rearrangements and their roles in treatment response are largely unexplored. We are developing new computational methods and exploring large scale cancer omics data to infer the mutational mechanisms leading to these alterations, to identify potential disease-driving events, and to study how they affect treatments.

Photoredox catalysis has enabled researchers to overcome previously intractable problems in organic synthesis. The use of light to drive catalysis has allowed for more selective reactions that generate both simple and complex molecules from renewable and economical starting materials under mild conditions. The dynamics of these catalysts following photoexcitation determines their efficiency. A direct time-resolved photophysical view of reactions is essential to construct the full kinetic scheme, observe the intermediates, and thereby link dynamics to structure. Through the use of ultrafast broadband transient absorption and two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy across a wide range of time and energy scales, the Huxter group studies photoinduced single-electron transfer and electronic dynamics in photoredox catalytic and radical systems. These studies have revealed complex mechanisms of photoredox catalytic reactions, including the involvement of reduced solvent as intermediates, multiple photoproducts as well as many productive and unproductive pathways. The study of transition metal complexes has also opened new possibilities for versatile reactive pathways. In this talk, we will present our latest research on a novel series of tripyrrindione molecules, which possess tunable redox-active chemistry. Using ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy, we explore the dynamics of these molecules and how they are influenced by hydrogen-bonding interactions with the solvent, reversible antiferromagnetic coupling and by the oxidation states of the metal centers. The results of these studies will highlight the potential of tripyrrindione molecules for new redox-active chemistry, catalytic applications, and optical sensing.

Our weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology. This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page).

Abstract:
To fully understand the macroevolutionary factors that have promoted the diversification and persistence of biological diversity varied tools and disciplines must be integrated. By combining data from several fields including molecular phylogenetics/phylogenomics, comparative genomics, biogeographic range reconstruction, stable isotope analyses, and microbial community sequencing to study the evolutionary history of the insects, we are beginning to understand the drivers of speciation and the interconnectedness of life. Comparative phylogenetic analysis reveals the interconnectedness of ants and plants and that ants diversified after the rise of the angiosperms. While studies combining stable isotope analysis to infer the trophic ecology of the ants and next-generation sequencing of gut-associated bacteria of ants highlight the importance of this microbiome association in the evolution of herbivory. Microbial contributions to ants are not limited to diet enrichment and we find evidence for their role in cuticle formation. These multiple lines of evidence are illuminating a more complete picture of ant evolution and providing novel insights into the role that symbiosis plays to promote biological diversity.

Brains build compact models of the world from just a few noisy and conflicting observations. They predict events via memory-based analogies even when resources are limited. The ability of biological intelligence to generalize and complete a wide range of unknown heterogeneous tasks calls for a comprehensive understanding of how networks of interactions among neurons, glia, and vascular systems enable human cognition. This will serve as a basis for advancing the design of artificial general intelligence (AGI). In this talk, we introduce a series of novel mathematical tools which can help us reconstruct networks among neurons, infer their objectives, and identify their learning rules.

To decode the network structure from very scarce and noisy data, we develop the first mathematical framework which identifies the emerging causal fractal memory phenomenon in the spike trains and the neural network topologies. We show that the fractional order operators governing the neuronal spiking dynamics provide insight into the topological properties of the underlying neuronal networks and improve the prediction of animal behavior during cognitive tasks. In addition to this, we propose a variational expectation-maximization approach to mine the optical imaging of brain activity and reconstruct the neuronal network generator, namely the weighted multifractal graph generator. Our proposed network generator inference framework can reproduce network properties, differentiate varying structures in brain networks and chromosomal interactions, and detect topologically associating domain regions in conformation maps of the human genome. Moreover, we develop a multiwavelet-based neural operator in order to infer the objectives and learning rules of complex biological systems. We thus learn the operator kernel of an unknown partial differential equation (PDE) from noisy scarce data. For time-varying PDEs, this model exhibits 2-10X higher accuracy than state-of-the-art machine learning tools.

The widespread use of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for vaccines during the pandemic has advanced them to become arguably the leading nanomedicine technology. LNPs offer a way to deliver a concentrated payload. If delivered systemically, the LNPs also protect the nucleic acids from nucleases. The rules around their preparation and mechanisms for delivery to cells and endosomal release are still in development. The seminar will describe LNP integration into a high throughput experiment to screen in vitro for immunogenic cell death interactions between microphages and target cancer cells. The development of bright, Raman-active, liposomal NP labels for flow cytometry and chitosan-based radioactive labeling experiments for in vivo non-invasive hepatocyte function assessment will also be presented.

Synthesis and Characterization of Energetic Materials for Explosive and Propellant Applications (April 10, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103557 103557-21807469@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 10, 2023 4:00pm

The development of high-energy-density materials (HEDMs) with high performance and reasonable sensitivity to impact and friction is an overarching goal in the field of energetic materials. Two areas of interest in our HEDM research are the synthesis of high-energy melt-castable explosives to replace TNT and the synthesis of high-energy propellant plasticizers to replace inert ingredients. Meaningful properties of melt-castable explosives include a melting point range of 70-120 °C, a low vapor pressure, a significant difference between the melting temperature and the decomposition temperature, high density, low sensitivity, an affordable synthesis, and a detonation velocity and detonation pressure that significantly outperforms 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT).
A plasticizer enhances fluidity or plasticity when added to a rocket or gun propellant formulation. Energetic plasticizers are used to improve physical properties, to act as a fuel, and to improve the overall energy yield of a formulation. In designing an optimal plasticizer, understanding how chemical functional groups affect the melting point, freezing point, and decomposition temperature candidate materials becomes imperative. A successful energetic plasticizer must possess a good density, reasonable sensitivity, low chemical reactivity, and high thermal stability as one approaches oxygen-balanced materials.
Presented will be the synthesis of high-energy melt-castable and propellant plasticizer materials based on strained ring nitroazetidine polynitric ester and cyclobutane polynitric ester materials. In addition, polynitric ester compounds that maximize densities due to the incorporation of aromatic 1,2,4-oxadiazole and furoxan functionalities.

Our group’s central goal is to discover new concepts in base-promoted reactivity as a means to advance synthetic chemistry. For example, while base-promoted reactions typically accomplish redox neutral transformations, such as the addition of pronucleophiles to electrophiles, we have identified general strategies for base-promoted oxidative and reductive coupling reactions. This talk will discuss the development of these strategies in the context of two methods: the oxidative coupling of arenes with nucleophiles and the reductive defluorinative coupling of trifluoromethylarenes with electrophiles. The mechanistic frameworks of these methods will be compared to traditional base-promoted protocols to demonstrate unique capabilities and broad synthetic potential.

The discovery of Denisovans is one of the most exciting findings in human evolution in the past decade. The striking similarity between sequences of the high-altitude adaptation gene EPAS1 in modern Tibetans and Denisovans suggested adaptive introgression. However, the time and geographic ranges where the adaptive introgression happened remain unknown. This talk consists of three studies that are related to archaic adaptive introgression. First, I show that modern Tibetans experienced two pulses of Denisovan introgression, among which a group more alike the Denisovans from the Altai mountains introduced the adaptive EPAS1 haplotype, and the positive selection on EPAS1 did not start until well-after the Last Glacial Maximum. Second, resolving the timeline of Denisovan adaptive introgression spurred an opportunity to reexamine Tibetan population history, which remains perplexing after decades of work. By leveraging genetic and archaeological evidence, I show that there are two possible models for the population history on Tibetan Plateau. Lastly, I introduce MaLAdapt – a machine learning method for detecting genome-wide adaptive introgression, which reveals novel knowledge of how genomic variants from archaic humans facilitated modern human adaptations in worldwide populations.

Understanding the fundamental relationship between atomic structure and material properties is the holy grail of materials sciences. Towards this goal we are working to develop a real-time and atomistic understanding of the mechanistic steps taken during the growth and transformation of crystalline materials. To do this we employ a combination of complementary synthetic and characterization approaches, in particular using in situ ultra-high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe key structural transformations in real-time. Our in situ experiments include directly performing nanomaterial synthesis in the TEM, as well as determining the kinetics of structural phase transformations of as-synthesized inorganic nanocrystals. Further, based on an unexpected observation made during one of these in situ measurements, we have developed a new approach to directly synthesize arrays of crystallographically well-defined nanoscale interfaces. Several examples will be presented to illustrate our approach, including: the real-time observation of the solid-state synthesis of an individual nanocapsule; a post-synthetic structural phase transformation within an individual nanorod; and finally, the creation of new nanostructured architectures using liquid metal nanodroplets.

Ultracold atomic gases are perhaps the coldest matter in the universe, reaching temperatures below one nano-kelvin. At these low temperatures, noise is ironed out and the quantum mechanical properties of atoms, not only of their internal atomic states but also of their center-of-mass motion, become accessible and visible. I will describe applications of this ultracold quantum material in the areas of quantum simulation, sensing, and computation. Specifically, I will show how quantum gases far from equilibrium allow us to probe geometric singularities in band structure, a quantum simulation of condensed matter. I will describe how single atoms, trapped tightly within optical tweezers, can be serve as quantum sensors within a scanning-probe microscope of optical fields. Finally, I will explain how cavity-enhanced detection allows us to make mid-circuit measurements within an atoms-based quantum computing platform, a step toward quantum error correction. And what's next? Feedback control of quantum systems? Electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations serving as a chemical catalyst? Telecom-frequency optical clocks? Simulation of flat-band ferromagnetism? Perhaps all of the above.

Abstract:
Laboratory studies of quasineutral “pair” plasmas, in which the positively and negatively charged particles have the same mass, are a compelling frontier in fundamental plasma physics research. More than four decades of theory and simulation studies offer a wealth of predictions for how the collective behavior of such an unusually symmetric plasma is expected to compare to that of conventional plasmas. To experimentally test some of these predictions, the goal of the APEX (A Positron Electron eXperiment) Collaboration is to create and study confined, strongly magnetized electron-positron pair plasmas in the laboratory. Our “road map” involves unifying and advancing state-of-the-art physics and engineering in several areas, including: extended accumulation and high-capacity storage of large numbers of positrons, originating from a world-class positron source; two superconducting, tabletop-sized, toroidal confinement devices with complementary magnetic topologies (a levitated dipole and a stellarator), in which the positrons will be combined with electrons and their plasma properties studied; and the development and verification of a number of essential enabling techniques (e.g., efficient transport of positrons across magnetic flux surfaces and subsequent trapping). This seminar will offer an overview of the collaboration’s recent progress and upcoming milestones en route to pair plasma studies.

About the Speaker:

Abstract:

From the initial genetic patterning to the assembly of the whole embryo, how ordered structures form has always been a fundamental question in developmental biology. The recent advances in imaging technologies are now providing us with direct visual access to the development of whole organisms in unprecedented detail. However, it is clear that to make the best use of this complex data, we need the help of computer algorithms that can mine it for biologically relevant information, summarize and then visualize it for us. The first project I will present focuses on the mechanisms driving the development of diverse 3D bone morphologies in mice. There, we developed algorithms to analyze micro-CT images to deconstruct the final morphology of each bone into the contributions made by remodeling of mineralized tissue vs. the cartilaginous growth plates. This allowed us to demonstrate the central role of the growth plate in 3D bone morphogenesis in normal and pathological development. The second project aims to understand how different cell activities contribute to large-scale morphogenetic movements. To this end, we generated the first whole embryo single-cell atlas of morphogenetic activity underlying gastrulation in the fruit fly, then used these maps to derive a statistical model associating cell shape changes and rearrangements to body axis elongation.

Areas of Interest:

My lab focuses on understanding how cells organize to form various tissue morphologies during normal and pathological development. We use two model systems to achieve this: the musculoskeletal system in mice and whole embryo development in fruit flies. Our approach centers on the development of cutting-edge bioimage informatics and data science algorithms to analyze the dynamics and the underlying patterns in developing tissues through 3D and 4D (3D+time) fluorescence images.

The role of Cytochrome P450 Metabolism of Dietary Fatty Acids on Neurodegeneration (April 12, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101181 101181-21800914@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 12, 2023 4:00pm

Despite decades of research, the mechanism of neurodegeneration remains unclear. Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic programmed cell death driven by an iron-dependent membrane lipid peroxidation, is an emerging target and mechanism for aging and age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. While membrane lipid peroxidation is one of the molecular hallmarks of ferroptosis, the involvement of specific polyunsaturated fatty acids and their downstream metabolites as endogenous lipid mediators of ferroptosis remains understudied. Here, we hypothesize that cytochrome P450 (CYP)-epoxide hydrolases metabolites of PUFAs are a new class of lipid mediators of ferroptosis. \r\nInvestigating the effects of specific PUFA and PUFA metabolites on ferroptosis are challenging for two main reasons. Firstly, there is a plethora of endogenous biosynthetic and metabolic enzymatic pathways, and these enzymes express differently across diverse tissues. Secondly, the mechanism of ferroptosis is not well-defined or characterized. Therefore, a system approach is likely needed. To overcome these challenges, we employed Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a novel simplified biological model. Using a well-established neurodegenerative assay and transgenic C. elegans with green-fluorescent protein-tagged (GFP) neurons, we show that among all the tested PUFAs, only dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) triggers significant ferroptosis-mediated neurodegeneration after one day of exposure. Interestingly, only dopaminergic neurons and, to a lesser extent, glutaminergic neurons were affected in our studies. Using our state-of-the-art oxylipins analysis and comprehensive chemical probes, we identified the dihydroxy- metabolites of DGLA are likely the lipid mediator responsible for DGLA-induced ferroptosis-mediated neurodegeneration. We were also able to show that epoxide hydrolases play a key role in ferroptosis and neurodegeneration. \r\nIn short, our study identified a novel class of endogenous lipid mediators of ferroptosis. Our findings improve our understanding of how PUFA downstream metabolism modulates neurodegeneration. Additionally, the developed C. elegans models and identified dihydroxy- metabolites of DGLA provide a strong foundation for us to further investigate the mechanism of ferroptosis-mediated neurodegeneration that would identify a novel mechanism for ferroptosis and novel therapeutic targets for preventative or disease-altering treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. At the end of this presentation, we will also share the current drug discovery effort to target this metabolism for neurodegenerative diseases.

Hellen Keller once remarked that if you “keep your face in the sun, you will never see the shadows.”

Thankfully we are headed into the warmer months when it is much easier to capture those magical rays and the benefits that come along with them. Most people know that more sun means an increase in that much-needed vitamin D, as well as an increase in serotonin. Did you know that sunshine has been found to also affect cognition? Or, that it can actually help certain skin conditions?

It’s true that the sun boasts quite an impressive list of benefits, but as the age-old saying goes: “You don’t want too much of a good thing.” The first description of skin cancer dates as far back as the writings of Hippocrates of Kos in the 5th century, B.C. However, scientists at Michigan Medicine, led by one of our mini symposium speakers, are still connecting UV rays with new unexpected forms of cancer.

It is hard to know where to dive into the massive amount of health-related information revolving around the sun. However, “Here Comes the Sun,” the next installment of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies Mini Symposium Series, on Thursday, April 27, at 2 PM ET via Zoom, is a great place to start.

The event is presented by the Wolfe Brain Health Initiative, in partnership with the Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Family Depression Center, the Department of Psychiatry, and the Department of Dermatology.

We are extremely excited to welcome the speakers below.

Next generation information platforms based on planar integrated photonics and free space optics have shown significant promise for overcoming the performance bottlenecks of traditional semiconductor based digital architectures. Many recent advances in information processing have been enabled by the development of Integrated Microwave Photonics, Optical Neuromorphic Computing, and Quantum Photonics platforms. Our research utilizes experimental methods and Multiphysics simulations to explore interesting correlations between fundamental light-matter interactions and photonic device functionality in the Visible to midIR and THz regime. We are particularly interested in understanding how to use structurally driven anisotropy to modify or tune a material’s “effective” optical properties. In this talk, we will introduce phase change chalcogenides on nanostructured silicon (PCNS) as a novel optical metamaterial with an actively tunable effective permittivity and anisotropic thermal diffusivity which leads to intriguing, lower power, dynamic behavior. We will also show how PCNS can be used to modify the resonant behavior of THz metasurfaces by creating small perturbations in regions of strong optical mode confinement. In addition, we will explore hyperbolic optical media with extreme in-plane anisotropy which supports interesting polariton interactions such as spatial confinement and tunable resonant behavior. We will show how resonator geometry influences the optical behavior of mid-Infrared phonon-polaritons in highly anisotropic hyperbolic media which led to new fundamental physics and functionality of hyperbolic metamaterials for photonics applications.

Our weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology. This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page).

Abstract:
The fundamental goal of the field of population genetics is to understand the evolutionary processes that govern allele frequency change. However, the actual mechanisms causing these changes - variation in individual survival, reproductive success, and movement - are often difficult to directly measure in natural populations. Fully understanding these processes requires the population pedigree, the set of relationships among all individuals in the population through time. Here, we elucidate the relative roles of different evolutionary processes in shaping patterns of genetic variation through time using a 25-year genomic, phenotypic, and pedigree dataset in the Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens). Using gene dropping simulations, we estimated individual long-term genetic contributions and show how they are linked to measures of individual fitness and predictions of allele frequency change. Our approach allows us to quantify the expected genetic contribution of recent immigrants and identify large allele frequency shifts due to gene flow or selection. We modeled the relative roles of different evolutionary processes in shaping patterns of genetic variation genome-wide. Finally, we modified existing selection component analysis frameworks to test for selection acting on specific life-cycle stages. We identified a number of loci that clearly exhibited male gametic selection, sexual selection, and viability selection. By combining pedigree-based models with fine-scale dissection of selection components, this work provides a one of the most complete characterizations of the roles of selection, gene flow, and drift in governing allele frequency dynamics in a natural population to date.

Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry for top-down proteomics: past, current, and future (April 13, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105996 105996-21813536@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 13, 2023 4:00pm

Top-down proteomics (TDP) aims to characterize the proteome samples in a proteoform-specific manner and accomplish the human proteoform project (PMID: 34767442), which requires highly efficient separation and sensitive detection of proteoforms due to the extremely high sample complexity. Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) for top-down MS analysis of intact proteins/proteoforms is pioneered by the McLafferty, Lee, and Smith groups in 1990s. CE-MS is a powerful analytical technique for proteoform measurements due to its extremely high efficiency and sensitivity for proteoform separation and detection. However, due to the limitations of MS instrumentation and robustness of CE-MS interface, CE-MS had not been widely adopted until the recent 10 years. During the last decade, CE-MS interface has tremendous improvement in terms of sensitivity and robustness and several interfaces have been commercialized. MS instrumentation has impressive improvement in terms of mass resolution, gas-phase fragmentation performance, speed, and sensitivity. Using the modern instrumentation, it is straightforward to achieve the identification of thousands of proteoforms from whole cell lysates using CE-MS/MS with high reproducibility. For example, our group recently demonstrated the identification of over 23,000 proteoforms from colorectal cancer cells and documented drastically different proteoform profiles between metastatic and non-metastatic colorectal cancer cells using CE-MS/MS (PMID: 36542699). It is also approachable to delineate large proteoforms (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) and membrane proteoforms using CE-MS and MS/MS. We expect that CE-MS will be a powerful analytical tool for high-throughput TDP of various complex biological samples in the next several years.

The many correlated electron problems remain largely unsolved after decades; with one stunning success being BCS electron-phonon mediated conventional superconductivity. The Cooper pairing mechanisms of the dozens of families of unconventional superconductors, including the high-Tc cuprate, iron based, and heavy fermion superconductors remain elusive and quite varied. But some of their fundamental characteristics are strikingly similar, including their ubiquitous phase diagram, with intriguing, correlated electron (non-Fermi liquid) phases that break the symmetry of their underlying lattice at temperatures well above T_c. These correlated phases remain among the greatest unsolved problems in physics; and I will present an analogy stressing that. I will start with an overview of the US National MagLab and finish a glimpse of some of my own recent work possibly identifying a possible new pairing mechanism in a heavy-fermion superconductor.

Location: Museum of Natural History
Organized By: Museum of Natural History

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

Understanding structure-function relationships in transition-metal-containing enzymes (April 18, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101765 101765-21802331@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 18, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Department of Chemistry

The Silakov laboratory seeks to uncover principles underpinning biology\'s control over the reactivity of metal complexes in enzymes. Millions of years of natural selection in harsh, nutrient-limiting environments evolved organisms into highly effective and extremely selective metabolic systems. Organisms from all kingdoms of life are replete with enzymes that facilitate a staggering array of reactions with efficiency using nothing but abundant 3rd-row transition metal ions that is hard to replicate using pure synthetic chemistry approaches. To understand how similar metal-containing catalytic centers can vary their reactivity depending on the protein environment, we employ various advanced experimental methods such as Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Infrared spectroscopies, (spectro)electrochemistry, and protein film voltammetry. As some knowledge gaps about the function of enzymes stem from the absence of suitable experimental techniques, we also have a strong interested in developing novel biophysical approaches that allow addressing such gaps. This talk will present two case studies performed by the Silakov laboratory: a superfamily of Fe/2OG oxygenases involved in the biosynthesis of natural products, and [FeFe] hydrogenases which are highly effective H2-producing enzymes. The ultimate goal of our fundamental research is to inform the development of new biotechnologies to allow environmentally friendly biosynthetic production of much-needed molecules such as drugs and renewable energy resources.

MIPSE Seminar | New Lens on the Frontier of Matter in Extreme Conditions (April 19, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104047 104047-21808311@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract: The study of matter under extreme conditions is a highly interdisciplinary subject with broad applications to materials science, plasma physics, geophysics and astrophysics. Understanding the processes which dictate physical properties in warm dense plasmas and condensed matter requires studies at the relevant length-scales (interatomic spacing) and time-scales (phonon period). Experiments performed at XFEL lightsources across the world, combined with dynamic compression, provide ever-improving spatial- and temporal-fidelity to push the frontier. This talk will cover a broad range of conditions, intended to present an overview of important recent developments in how we generate extreme environments and how we characterize and probe matter at extremes conditions – providing an atom-eye view of transformations and the fundamental physics dictating plasma and materials properties. Examples closely related to geophysics, astro(bio)physics, planetary-, and fusion energy-sciences, as enabled by microstructure visualization from in situ, ultrafast X-ray imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy will be discussed.

About the Speaker: Arianna Gleason received her PhD in Earth and Planetary Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010. She joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar in 2010 and worked for Los Alamos National Laboratory in the Shock and Detonation Physics group before joining SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory as a staff scientist in 2018. Her passion is visualizing materials behavior and response across all length-scales at the most extreme environments possible in nature – from planetary cores to stellar interiors or for fusion energy and novel materials design. This allows her to reveal nature’s secrets of high-pressure mineral physics and planetary evolution from the atomic level up. In 2019 she received the DOE’s Early Career Award from the Office of Science, Fusion Energy Science, and recently served on the FES Science Advisory Committee for Long Range Planning, Basic Research Needs on Inertial Fusion Energy, Accelerating Nuclear Innovations and International Benchmarking. She is currently the Deputy Director for the High Energy Density Science Division at SLAC and Adjunct Faculty in the Geoscience Department at Stanford University.

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

The development of efficient renewable energy conversion and storage devices to curb climate change is one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. This can be addressed by using renewable electricity to manufacture chemical fuels and synthetic precursors, or by generating electricity with carbon-neutral fuel cell devices. However, electrocatalytic processes are hampered by low efficiencies and poor reaction selectivity because of a lack of rational methods available to create controllable catalyst materials with the preferred electrochemical activities. In this seminar Prof. Hall will discuss the use of ordered intermetallic compounds (OICs), which are alloys that display high electrocatalytic activities because their well-defined compositions and long-range atomic scale ordering enable predictable geometric and electronic interactions, in contrast to the more widely studied solid-solution type alloys. However, OIC materials are difficult to synthesize in nanomaterial form because conventional synthesis methods offer poor control over the composition, phase, and morphology. I will discuss our efforts on the synthesis, stability, and catalytic activity of OICs prepared by electrochemical methods at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Our strategies include the use of electrochemically induced phase transformations which enables us to convert a base metal rich alloy to an OIC richer in nobler metal by removal of the base metal, and the direct production of OIC materials by electrochemical deposition. We will also discuss how we leverage the atomically precise configuration of atoms within OICs to reveal detailed insights into how a material’s structure regulates its electrochemical properties. Developing new methods for preparing OIC compounds under ambient conditions is essential for designing catalysts for the next generation of renewable energy conversion devices

Understanding data from hadron colliders such as RHIC and the LHC requires understanding the structure of the colliding hadrons. At the same time, studying the structure of nucleons allows us to probe the strong interactions of confined quarks and gluons. The momentum distributions of quarks and gluons in nucleons are encoded in parton distribution functions (PDFs). Extracting PDFs from experimental data relies on several assumptions, and finding where these assumptions break down can reveal new insights about QCD in poorly understood regimes. In this talk, I will present measurements by the LHCb collaboration that challenge some of these assumptions by probing the structure of nucleons in extreme conditions. I will present a study of Z-boson production in association with charm quarks that could point to a non-perturbative contribution to the charm quark PDF. I will also present studies of particle production in proton-lead collisions and discuss their implications for nuclear modifications of PDFs and QCD at high gluon densities.

New Insights into Iron Transport in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and beyond (April 25, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95866 95866-21791208@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 25, 2023 4:00pm

The highly contagious disease tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which has been evolving drug resistance at an alarming rate due to the harsh, long drug treatments. Like all human pathogens, iron is essential for Mtb’s survival and virulence. Consequently, Mtb iron transport is an emerging drug target. However, the development of anti-TB drugs aimed at these metabolic pathways have been restricted by the dearth of information on Mtb iron acquisition. Mtb has multiple strategies utilized to acquire ferric iron and heme-iron. Mtb iron uptake is a complex process requiring biosynthesis and subsequent export of Mtb siderophores, followed by ferric iron scavenging and ferric-siderophore import into Mtb. Additionally, Mtb uptakes heme and has a Mtb-specific mechanism of heme degradation that yields iron and novel heme-degradation products. Here we present several aspects of these pathways to close the knowledge gaps of iron acquisition in mycobacteria.

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

The U-M Concussion Center is proud to host a Special Speaker Series event on Friday, April 28, 10:30 am-11:30 am ET, featuring Dr. Ross Zafonte, the President of Spaulding Rehabilitation Network and the Earle P. and Ida S. Charlton Professor and Chairman of the Harvard Medical School Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R). During this special event, Zafonte will give a talk entitled: “Does Repeated Brain Injury Lead to a Maladaptive Phenotype? Can we Untangle the Gordian Knot?”

Dr. Zafonte serves as Chief of the Department of PM&R at Massachusetts General Hospital, Chair of the Department of PM&R at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs, Research, and Education at Spaulding Rehabilitation Network. Dr. Zafonte’s textbook, Brain Injury Medicine, is considered one of the standards in the field of brain injury care.

His work is presently funded by the NIH, DOD, and NIDRR, and he directs several large clinical treatment trials. His research primarily focuses on understanding mechanisms of recovery after Brain and Spinal Cord Injury. At the RedSox MGH HomeBase program, he directs the Brain Injury and the Warrior Health and Fitness programs, and at the Football Players Health Study at Harvard University, he is the Principal Investigator. Dr. Zafonte also sees patients in numerous clinics and hospitals in the Boston community, including former NFL athletes, as part of a special MGH initiative known as the Brain and Body Program.

Dr. Zafonte has published extensively on traumatic brain injuries, spasticity, and other neurological disorders and presented on these topics at conferences nationally and internationally. He is the author of more than 300 peer review journal articles, abstracts, and book chapters. He is on the Journal of Neurotrauma editorial board and, in 2020, was named the Editor in Chief for the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. His most recent awards include the Innovative Clinical Treatment Award presented by the North American Brain Injury Society, the 2020 Distinguished Member Award from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and a Public Service Medal from the United States Department of the Army for his work with military veterans.

Interdisciplinary QC-CM Seminar | Design Principles for Sustainable Chemistry: A Theoretical and Machine Learning Approach (May 3, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107259 107259-21815687@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, May 3, 2023 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Interdisciplinary QC/CM Seminars

The overarching goal of our group is to develop new methods to extract sustainable fuels, polymers and chemicals from plants. Our approach has been to develop and apply computational tools to both biological and chemical conversion processes as part of an iterative ‘model-validate-predict’ design process for de novo catalysts.

With its high carbon and hydrogen content, lignocellulosic biomass presents an alternative to petroleum as a nearly carbon-neutral precursor to upgraded liquid fuels. I will present some representative results in designing new catalysts for biological and chemocatalytic processes of biomass.

Our group has introduced a “Fuel property first” design approach to reduce emissions and increase performance for biofuel candidates. Traditional approaches for developing these mechanistic models require many years for each new molecule, a pace that is poorly suited to the large-scale search for new bioderived blendstocks. We have developed chemistry and physics informed graph neural networks models to predict few fuel properties including yield sooting index (YSI), cetane number (CN), critical temperature (T_c), and heat of vaporization (HoV). These properties are key factors in determining fuel performance, emissions, and safety, and can vary substantially between bioblendstock candidates under consideration. The model and methodology used in this work can be applied to other fuel properties, leading to rational principles for designing high-performance fuels.

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

Investigating the Electrochemical Behavior of Uranium in Chloride Melts (May 4, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107626 107626-21816295@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 4, 2023 4:00pm

Molten salt nuclear reactors are a promising technology for the production of green energy. The high boiling points and low vapor pressures of these systems make them considerably safer than traditional light water reactors, and the ability to run molten salt reactors in a breeder/burner configuration results in higher material use efficiency, and lower waste generation. One key challenge associated with these systems is material corrosion, and understanding how actinide materials, such as uranium, can affect corrosion kinetics in these systems is an important goal. In this talk, Dr. Lhermitte outlines the design and construction of the electroanalytical capabilities of the molten salt chemistry laboratory at Los Alamos National Lab to investigate these problems. Key discoveries as part of this work were: the design of a new type of sealed Mg/MgCl2 reference electrode, the preparation of small area electrodes for high resolution cyclic voltammetry, and the development of electromotive force measurements to determine the formal potential of U3+/U0 in chloride melts. Finally, Dr. Lhermitte also outlines how molten salt electrochemical methods can be leveraged to electrodeposit materials with extremely low reduction potentials, such as Zr, for applications as coatings in solid state nuclear fuels.

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

Molecular Understanding, Design and Development of Zwitterionic Materials (May 11, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97541 97541-21794695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 11, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Department of Chemistry

An important challenge in many applications is the prevention of unwanted nonspecific biomolecular and microorganism attachment on surfaces. To address this challenge, our goals are twofold. First, we strive to provide a fundamental understanding of nonfouling mechanisms at the molecular level. Second, we aim to develop biocompatible materials based on the molecular principles learned. As a result, we have shown that zwitterionic materials and surfaces are highly resistant to nonspecific protein adsorption and microorganism attachment from complex media. With zwitterionic coatings, hydrogels or nanoparticles, results show no capsule formation upon subcutaneous implantation in mice for one year, expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) without differentiation, no anti-coagulants needed for artificial lungs in sheep, no antibodies generated against zwitterionic polymers, and environmentally benign marine coatings. Unlike poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), there exist diversified zwitterionic molecular structures to accommodate various properties and applications. Furthermore, zwitterionic materials are super-hydrophilic while their PEG counterparts are amphiphilic. Currently, we are integrating immunology into our biomaterials research and translating our biomaterials to applications ranging from cancer vaccine to precision medicine.

Location: Museum of Natural History
Organized By: Museum of Natural History

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.
