  • CEE Seminar -A Sociotechnical Approach to Assess Equitable Access to Safe and Affordable Tap Water: Communities, Households, and Residents

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

    Access to safe and affordable water is essential to promote public health and economic development. In recent years, millions of people have been exposed to tap water that violates federal guidelines for pathogens, nitrates, arsenic, and harmful disinfection by-products. In a community water system, water quality problems arise when stagnation leads to depleted chlorine residuals, […]

  • Microbial Ecology, Cell-Cell Signaling, and Implications for Biofilm Treatment

    Dr. Jeseth Delgado Vela is interested in integrating molecular tools and modeling to understand how microbial community interactions and dynamics affect engineered water treatment systems. Dr. Delgado Vela's research is focused on studying how microbes interact in wastewater treatment systems and harness beneficial interactions. She is also interested in combating harmful microbes in both natural […]

  • DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Ralph Colby

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Title: Nematic Alignment of Chains by Shear Flow and its Role in Accelerating Nucleation and Stabilizing Against Edge Fracture Abstract: Applying shear flow to some molten polymer liquids imparts a nematic chain alignment that creates form birefringence. Rheo-optical methods are used to quantify this alignment for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK). With […]

Anybody interested is welcome to join: Faculty, Postdocs, Graduate, and Undergraduate Students. Title: Modeling and Simulation of Additive Manufacturing Processes Instructors: Bruno Turcksin and Stephen DeWitt (Oak […]

  • CEE Seminar -Turbulence, droplets, and hurricanes: Understanding complex physics in the environment

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

    In the environment, air and water transport a wide variety of constituents, including nutrients, pollution, droplets, aerosols, dust, and even bugs. Predicting where these things end up, and in what abundance, is a difficult enterprise; this difficulty impacts a huge range of scientific disciplines, and limits our ability to predict future environmental conditions and engineer […]

  • CEE Seminar – Protecting public health at the speed of (UV) light

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

    UV-C irradiation (200-280 nm) is known to be effective for pathogen disinfection in air and water treatment and the conventional low-pressure mercury vapor lamp emitting at 254 nm has been employed for over 100 years. Since the coronavirus pandemic, interest in the use of Far-UVC (200-235 nm) has grown as this wavelength range is not […]

  • CEE Seminar – Fate and transport of PFAS in the vadose zone across scales: controlling processes, mathematical formulation, and practical modeling approaches

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

    PFAS are emerging contaminants that have been widespread in the environment. A growing body of site investigations suggests that PFAS have accumulated significantly in soils at many contaminated sites, posing a long-term threat to contaminate the groundwater underneath. Understanding and quantifying PFAS leaching in soils and mass discharge to groundwater are therefore critical for characterizing, […]

  • CEE Seminar -The Brain in Motion: Measurements of Brain Mechanical Behavior in Vivo by MRI

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

    High linear and angular accelerations of the skull can lead to rapid deformation of brain tissue and subsequent traumatic brain injury (TBI), but the precise mechanisms of TBI remain incompletely understood. Computer simulations of head-brain biomechanics offer enormous potential for improved understanding and prevention of TBI. However, simulations must be complemented by biomechanical measurements to […]

  • DMI Signature Lecture Presented by Prof. Elizabeth Dickey

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium

    Abstract: The rational design and control of defects in electronic ceramics is critical for property control and optimizing electronic or electrochemical device performance. Point defects, in particular, influence properties such as conductivity, electric polarization and, as most recently discovered, the ability to switch polarization to engender ferroelectricity in wurtzite-structure materials. In polycrystalline materials, the interactions […]

  • CEE Seminar -OPPORTUNITIES AND TRENDS OF AI and COMPUTING IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

    Civil Engineering has had a long and successful history in adopting computing technologies, from computer graphics, CAD, engineering analyses, virtual simulations, to project management. AI and machine learning have drawn significant interests in recent years and have found many applications in engineering. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the potential uses of AI […]
