SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Ying Zheng
DESCRIPTION:Building Human Microvasculature for Regeneration and Disease Modeling\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYing Zheng\, PhDAssociate ProfessorDepartment of MedicineStanford University \n\n\n\nAbstract:Microvasculature helps define the tissue microenvironment. These vessels are highly heterogeneous in size and geometry\, spanning three orders of magnitude in diameter\, and their dysfunction is a systemic hallmark of many diseases. Yet studying them remains difficult because they are buried deep in tissues and are hard to access\, visualize\, and manipulate in patients. In this seminar\, I will present engineering strategies that bring these “invisible” microvascular compartments into view. Using native collagen matrices\, microfabrication\, and multiphoton laser sculpting\, my group builds perfused human microvessels across scales\, including capillary‑like networks with realistic 3D geometry and hemodynamics. I will show how vascular architecture combined with perfusion reshape luminal flow and endothelial responses\, and how these microvessels can be integrated with hiPSC‑derived vascular organoids to enhance survival. Together\, our work establishes a path toward perfusable\, scalable\, long‑lived human vascular tissue models that complement animal studies and enable mechanism‑driven regeneration and disease modeling. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF

SUMMARY:ECE Research Seminar Series: Dr. Kenji Yasuda\, Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:Slidetronics in van der Waals heterostructures\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract:In 2D materials\, the energy scale of van der Waals interactions is comparable to that of electrostatic gating\, sometimes enabling electrostatic control of the stacking order. For example\, parallel-stacked bilayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibits ferroelectric polarization\, which allows an applied gate electric field to switch the polarization via interlayer sliding [1\,2]. I will introduce our recent efforts to extend the capabilities of slidetronics\, both for exploring fundamental physics and for applications such as nonvolatile memory. First\, we investigate how the sliding degree of freedom can be coupled to quantum-mechanical properties of materials\, such as magnetism. We extend slidetronics to tetralayer graphene and show that electrostatic hole doping can drive a sliding phase transition between Bernal and rhombohedral stacking. We further demonstrate that this transition enables nonvolatile switching between paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states [3]. Second\, I introduce our efforts to realize lower-energy switching of sliding ferroelectrics by incorporating the concept of structural superlubricity. \n\n\n\nKenji Yasuda\n\n\n\n[1] K.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: William Schneider
DESCRIPTION:William SchneiderProfessor\, Department ChairDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular EngineeringUniversity of Notre Dame \n\n\n\nWhen Things Go Right\, and When Things Go Wrong\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComputational catalysis necessarily deals with idealizations of real catalytic systems—just as all models are abstractions of reality. Those realities sometimes require us to elaborate our models and expand our thinking. The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 over Cu-exchanged chabazite zeolites provides one such example where the realities of the application and complexity of the catalytic materials lead to unanticipated richness. I will discuss how insights from density functional theory\, microkinetic models\, and simple chemical concepts aid in identifying\, explaining\, and potentially even exploiting that richness.

SUMMARY:NEEP Seminar Series: Alex Bocchieri\, University of Wisconsin–Madison
DESCRIPTION:NEEP Seminar SeriesThursdays12:00 – 1:00 PM106 Engineering Research BuildingPlease contact office@neep.wisc.edu for assistance with remote participation.High-Energy Radiation Imaging with a Single-Photon CameraSingle-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) cameras offer high spatial and temporal resolution for detecting individual photon arrivals. We propose using a SPAD camera to image and measure ionizing radiation interacting in a scintillator detector. Scintillation event measurements\, such as position\, time\, and energy deposition\, are used to reconstruct the radiation source in various nuclear safety and security applications. This talk will cover the multi-stage development of a single-volume\, monolithic scintillator Compton camera prototype that reconstructs a gamma-ray source. It will introduce algorithms for measuring the 3D locations of individual gamma-ray events from experimental images\, as well as a kaleidoscopic scintillator design. The SPAD camera enables the miniaturization of Compton camera detectors and may allow to measure complex signatures of ionizing radiation in a scintillator. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlex Bocchieri received his Ph.D. in Computer Science at University of Wisconsin – Madison\, advised by Dr. Andreas Velten. He will be joining Sandia National Lab as a post-doc in proliferation detection remote sensing. Alex completed his M.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He performs interdisciplinary research in computer vision and radiation imaging at the interplay between hardware design and algorithm development. His research has been supported by the Consortium for Enabling Technologies and Innovation (ETI) and has been published and presented in multiple venues.

SUMMARY:Mechanics Seminar: Professor Michael Leamy
DESCRIPTION:The Mechanics Seminar Series is a weekly seminar given by campus and visiting speakers on topics across the spectrum of mechanics research (solids\, fluids\, and dynamics). Professor Michael Leamy is a professor and department chair at the University of Vermont.  \n\n\n\nPresentation Title: Elastic-Plastic Wave Propagation in Structural Metamaterials \n\n\n\nAbstract: This seminar will explore the mechanics and design of one-dimensional metamaterials for controlling elastic-plastic wave propagation\, a topic that bridges fundamental nonlinear wave physics with applied structural design. We begin by developing a semi-analytical framework\, grounded in the method of characteristics\, for modeling elastic and elastic–plastic wave propagation in periodic rods with variable cross-section. This approach is validated against time-domain finite element simulations and used to analyze metamaterial structures featuring dogbone-like unit cells\, highlighting how classical elastic bandgap phenomena influence plastic wave dynamics and residual strain patterns. Building on this foundation\, we then introduce a scenario-specific optimization strategy for tailoring metamaterial geometries to manipulate plastic waves for performance-critical applications. These include vibration and damage mitigation\, pulse shaping\, and occupant protection. Through these examples\, we demonstrate how optimized metamaterials can suppress damage penetration\, elongate incident pulses to reduce peak stress\, and localize plastic deformation\, all while reducing material usage and enabling manufacturability. Collectively\, this work establishes a pathway for using metamaterial architectures to actively manage plasticity in dynamic loading environments. \n\n\n\nBio: Michael J. Leamy is the Mechanical Engineering Department Chair and Dorothean Chair of Engineering and Science at the University of Vermont. Prior he was a Woodruff Endowed Professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering\, Georgia Tech. He received his B.S. from Clarkson University (1993)\, and his M.S. and Ph.D. (1995\, 1998) from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, all in Mechanical Engineering. Professor Leamy’s research interests are in emerging and multidisciplinary areas of engineering science\, with an emphasis on nonlinear dynamical behavior in structures\, materials\, and complex systems. He has received the Distinguished Achievement Award (1998) from the University of Michigan\, the Lockheed Dean’s Excellence in Teaching Award (2010)\, and the Lloyd Hamilton Donnell Best Paper Award from Applied Mechanics Reviews (co-recipient\, 2016). He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics (2024-Present).

SUMMARY:ISyE Colloquia Series
DESCRIPTION:UW-ISyE looks forward to welcoming Sean Sinclair from Northwestern University. \n\n\n\nThe Impact of Censoring on Data-Driven Inventory Control \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Infectious diseases continue to impact millions of people every year around the world\, despite many advances in medicine and technology. Pharmaceutical interventions such as testing\, vaccines\, or treatment\, may not be available\, and when they are\, resources for their deployment are often very limited. Other challenges (e.g.\, logistical\, societal) may also hamper deployment. Decisions regarding what\, when\, and how to deploy need to incorporate various short- and long-term considerations\, as well as human behaviors such as following non-pharmaceutical intervention recommendations or uptake of available pharmaceutical interventions. In this presentation\, we will illustrate these challenges using a few examples from infectious diseases that are targeted for elimination or eradication\, and share results from modeling studies to help inform these complex decisions. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio:  Sean Sinclair is an Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences at Northwestern University\, where he also serves as Director of Graduate Studies. His research develops reinforcement learning algorithms for operations problems\, with recent interests in inventory control and scheduling.  He received his PhD from Cornell University and was previously a postdoctoral associate at MIT.  His work received the 2026 SIGMETRICS Best Paper award\, and his dissertation received honorable mention for both the SIGMETRICS Dissertation and the George Dantzig Dissertation awards.
