SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Daniel J. Miller
DESCRIPTION:Daniel J. MillerSenior Research ScientistSchlumberger-Doll Research Center \n\n\n\nAn industrial perspective on membrane research\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolymeric membranes are an energy-efficient alternative to thermally driven separation processes. Natural gas processing is one of the largest industrial markets for gas separation membranes. Virtually all natural gas must be treated to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) before entering a pipeline\, as these acid gases can corrode the pipeline in the presence of water. Cellulose triacetate (CTA) asymmetric hollow fiber membranes are effective for removal of acid gases from natural gas\, although they are subject to plasticization and limitations on process conditions. While thousands of experimental materials—some with remarkable separation characteristics—have been proposed as alternatives\, few have reached commercialization and legacy materials such as CTA continue to dominate. This presentation will provide an overview of ongoing industrial membrane research for natural gas processing. Current needs in membrane material science will be discussed. Because membrane modules operate within an ecosystem of other system components\, the impact of membrane material properties will be contextualized among cost drivers in natural gas processing. Finally\, the role of modeling will be explored\, including prediction of module performance from laboratory-scale transport measurements\, which can then be used to direct material discovery efforts to shorten time to commercialization.

SUMMARY:ECE Virtual Alumni Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:ECE alumni! Please join us for this one-hour virtual event hosted by Interim Department Chair Parmesh Ramanathan. In addition to sharing the latest news from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)\, we’ll explore how groundbreaking research within ECE at UW–Madison is fueling innovation\, entrepreneurship\, and the next generation of quantum technologies. \n\n\n\nECE Associate Professor Jennifer Choy will give an introduction to quantum sensing\, highlighting how her research uses light–matter interactions\, nanoscale photonics\, and quantum systems to develop highly precise sensors for applications ranging from navigation and timekeeping to magnetic-field and environmental sensing. Plus\, we’ll be joined by ECE alum Sanket Deshpande (PhDECE’25)\, CEO of Dirac Labs\, a Wisconsin-based startup leveraging quantum sensing and nanophotonics research to develop positioning\, tracking\, and navigation technologies for autonomous vehicles and other applications. \n\n\n\nAlumni\, please check for an email invitation in October. \n\n\n\n\n\nECE Interim Chair Parmesh Ramanathan\n\n\n\n\n\nECE Associate Professor Jennifer Choy\n\n\n\n\n\nDirac Labs CEO Sanket Deshpande (PhDECE’25)

SUMMARY:MS&E Seminar Series: Professor Sang-Gook Kim\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Mechanical Engineering
DESCRIPTION:UW-Madison Department of Materials Science and Engineering welcomes Professor Sang-Gook Kim. His seminar\, “Structured Multi-Agent Architecture for Truly Smart Manufacturing”\, will take place on Thursday\, October 22 from 1-2 p.m. in MSE 265. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nSang-Gook Kim is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. He received his B.S. from Seoul National University (1978)\, his M.S. from KAIST (1980)\, and his Ph.D. from MIT (1985). He held positions at Axiomatics Co. in Cambridge\, MA (1986) and at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (1986–1991). He later served as a corporate executive director at Daewoo Corporation in Korea\, where he directed the Central Research Institute of Daewoo Electronics before joining MIT in 2000. His research interests include piezoelectric MEMS energy harvesting and additive manufacturing\, nano engineered energy conversion devices\, ideal solar absorbers\, and\, more recently\, AI for design and manufacturing. He is a Fellow of CIRP (International Academy for Production Engineering) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)\, and an overseas member of the Korean National Academy of Engineering. \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nThe materials science tetrahedron\, introduced by Prof. M. Fleming in 1989\, links processing\, structure\, properties\, and performance as a foundational framework for materials and manufacturing. Manufacturing activities span all four facets\, transforming raw materials into functional products while meeting targets for quality\, cost\, and production rate at scale. This interconnected complexity makes the realization of agile\, truly smart manufacturing systems inherently challenging. Advances in digitalization\, automation\, and cyber-physical systems—such as digital twins—have laid important groundwork. However\, achieving truly smart manufacturing requires orchestration layer that seamlessly integrates human decision-makers (and their rationale) with machines\, processes\, and enterprise operations across the enterprise. \n\n\n\nAgentic AI enables this transformation through autonomous reasoning and decision-making\, with adaptive optimization currently focused on the unit machine and process levels. Without a structured architectural framework\, however\, individual AI agents soon risk severe fragmentation\, with limited interoperability\, explainability\, and scalability across organizational silos. A structured reasoning and coordination layer is therefore essential to enable scalable and reliable agentic AI in manufacturing. It defines interfaces\, constraints\, decision rights\, and coupling rules while ensuring transparency\, robustness\, and upgradability. Such a framework can transform numerous AI agents into auditable\, reusable\, and portable assets aligned with enterprise goals\, including quality\, cost\, sustainability\, resilience\, and safety. \n\n\n\nThis talk addresses two key challenges: designing this coordination layer architecture and enabling reasoning–rationale elicitation. By capturing what agents (also human experts) decide\, why\, and with what evidence and uncertainty\, organizations can preserve traceability\, safety\, maintainability\, and strategic control while deploying agentic AI ecosystems effectively at scale over time.
