SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Summer Sustainability Seminar Series: Ewa Marek
DESCRIPTION:Chemical looping for sustainable production of chemicals \nThe chemical industry is centred on the processing of crude oil and is responsible for the lion’s share of greenhouse gas emissions. Running industrial-scale installations requires huge energy inputs\, employing high temperatures\, pressures\, and\, often\, explosive mixtures. The current industry is designed to work continuously\, using cheap\, petrochemical feedstock. Switching the starting point and moving from oil to renewable feedstock\, whether it is bio-derived carbonaceous material\, captured CO2\, or renewable electricity\, requires new decentralised and flexible operations\, as all these resources are spatially distributed and available intermittently. Our work focuses on small-scale\, dynamic processes\, developing and employing new reaction and process pathways to produce key chemicals. This talk will present our work using a chemical looping approach where solid particles of metal oxides are the sole source of oxygen to catalytic reactions. In particular\, I will discuss the chemical looping epoxidation (CL-E) of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide (EO) and chemical looping oxidative dehydrogenation (CL-ODH) of ethanol to produce acetaldehyde. \n\nBio \nDr. Ewa Marek is an associate professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology\, University of Cambridge and a fellow of Jesus College. She leads the Energy Reactions and Carriers Group\, working on the production of value-added chemicals from intermittently available renewable feedstock and electricity\, incorporating non-thermal plasma\, ultrasounds and chemical looping to drive efficient\, transient processes. This work led to 2021 Hinshelwood Prize and 2023 Energy&Fuels Rising Star Award for early-career academics. Before setting up her group\, she was a post-doctoral associate in the Engineering Department\, Cambridge\, and earlier\, she worked for six years on industrial R&D and advanced measurement methods in the UK\, Netherlands and Poland. She studied energy and chemical processing (BEng\, MSc) in Cracow and carbon capture (PhD) in Katowice (both in Poland). \nLinks \nhttps://www.ceb.cam.ac.uk/staff/dr-ewa-marek \nhttps://www.jesus.cam.ac.uk/people/ewa-marek

SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Mohammad Hamrangsekachaee
DESCRIPTION:PhD Dissertation Defense: Endothelial Glycocalyx: Response to Fluid and Solid Mechanics in its Environment \nMohammad Hamrangsekachaee \nLocation: Snell Library 033 and Zoom \nAbstract: Atherosclerosis\, a precursor to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)\, accounts for 37% of deaths in individuals under 70 years old\, primarily due to endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction. The glycocalyx (GCX)\, a carbohydrate-rich structure on ECs lining the vessel luminal surface\, is crucial for EC function and vascular health by regulating vascular tone\, hemostasis\, permeability\, and mechanotransduction. Therefore\, cellular models emulating the vascular mechanical environment are vital for understanding GCX’s role and its interaction with mechanical surroundings. This dissertation introduces an innovative in vitro model to investigate the combined effects of tissue stiffness and shear stress on endothelial cell function. \nTunable non-swelling gelatin-methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels were fabricated with stiffnesses of 2.5 and 5 kPa\, representing healthy vessel tissues\, and 10 kPa\, corresponding to diseased vessel tissues. Immunocytochemistry analysis showed that on hydrogels with different levels of stiffness\, the GCX’s major polysaccharide components exhibited dysregulation in distinct patterns. For example\, there was a significant decrease in heparan sulfate expression on pathological substrates (10 kPa)\, while sialic acid expression increased with increased matrix stiffness. \nGelMA hydrogels were then integrated into a flow chamber designed to generate physiological flow conditions. The combined effects of fluid shear stress and substrate stiffness were analyzed for heparan sulfate\, sialic acid\, hyaluronic acid\, syndecan-1\, CD44\, and YAP. Under shear stress\, heparan sulfate’s coverage was reduced at 10 kPa\, while sialic acid and CD44 expression increased at 10 kPa. YAP activation\nshowed increased nuclear translocation and decreased phosphorylation at 10 kPa. Our findings revealed that substrate stiffness and mechanical forces significantly influence GCX expression and endothelial cell function. \nThis research highlights the critical role of the mechanical environment on GCX in vascular health\, particularly in the context of atherosclerosis. By developing an innovative in vitro model that integrates tissue rigidity and shear stress\, we have provided a more precise simulation of the vascular environment. This model offers a valuable tool for further understanding EC mechanotransduction and developing targeted treatments for cardiovascular diseases.

SUMMARY:Jagatpreet Nir PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Announcing:\nPhD Dissertation Defense \nName:\nJagatpreet Nir \nTitle:\nLow Contrast Visual Sensing and Inertial-Aided Navigation in GPS-Denied  Environments \nDate:\n7/18/2024 \nTime:\n11:00:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Hanumant Singh (Advisor)\nProf. Martin Ludvigsen\nProf. Michael Everett\nProf. Pau Closas \nAbstract:\nField robots perform complex tasks\, necessitating high autonomy and reliable navigation capabilities. Integrating complementary sensors at the hardware level is crucial to maintaining navigation estimates even during sensor failure. This work is motivated by the need for robust and accurate navigation systems for robotic field applications\, particularly in diverse and challenging environments. The development of such systems involves balancing design requirements with constraints such as size\, weight\, power\, computational capacity\, and cost. Underwater navigation exemplifies navigation in Visually Degraded Environments (VDEs)\, where Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remote Operated Vehicles ( ROVs) navigate in challenging conditions. This thesis focuses on exploring methods to enhance the robustness of visual-inertial odometry systems in VDEs. \nThe current state-of-the-art Visual Inertial Odometery (VIO) techniques provide high-accuracy navigation estimates in texture-rich scenes. However\, robots operating in harsh and unpredictable environments\, such as underwater\, often encounter VDEs due to low texture\, uneven illumination\, or backscatter. During prolonged visual degradation\, the Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) become the primary sensor as visual measurements are unreliable. In this reserach\, we address the problem of designing an underwater VIO navigation system and algorithmic pipelines to ensure reliable navigation estimates during several seconds of visual degradation\, emphasizing the importance of selecting better Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) IMUs for dependable performance within a cost budget. \nA robust VIO system designed for underwater settings is introduced. Our contributions include a general system design approach for underwater VIO\, an algorithmic formulation for fusing deep learning-based Visual Odometry (VO) with IMUs data. The underwater datasets depict visual degradation in real-world settings with a time-synchronized 8-bit grayscale camera and IMU. Our hybrid VIO pipeline integrates IMU measurements with VO estimates from a deep-learning VO engine\, combining deep learning with classical sensor fusion techniques to achieve accurate metric and gravity-aligned trajectory estimates even in visually degraded conditions. The proposed system outperforms traditional VIO methods\, demonstrating robustness with consistent trajectory estimates and minimal drift during complete visual outages. The extensible design allows for the incorporation of new sensors\, addressing various underwater navigation challenges. \nTo conclude\, this thesis focuses on environments where exteroceptive sensing\, like cameras\, is compromised for extended periods\, relying on proprioceptive sensors such as IMUs to navigate. The aim is to quantify navigation accuracy in harsh environments and improve system design at both hardware and software levels. Specifically\, underwater visual-inertial navigation for small vehicles is used to demonstrate the principles and algorithms developed. The outlined methodology showcases sensor selection\, sensor-fusion algorithms\, and individual improvements to build enhanced visual-inertial systems for VDEs and the applicability of the proposed approach from controlled settings to field tests. \n
