SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Kevin Yang
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nKevin Yang \nTitle:\nStructural Investigation of Single-Atom Catalysts in HCl Electrolysis\, CO₂ Reduction\, and Li-S Batteries \nDate:\n05/08/2026 \nTime:\n01:00:00 PM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Sanjeev Mukerjee (Advisor)\nProf. Joshua Gallaway\nProf. Hannah Sayre\nProf. Magda Barecka \nLocation:\nEXP 202 \nAbstract:\nTransition metal single-atom catalysts have emerged as a promising class of materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage due to their high atomic utilization\, tunable electronic structure\, well-defined active sites\, and use to high earth abundant metals. Metal nitrogen carbon (M-N-C) catalysts are practical in a wide range of electrochemical systems. However\, the development of M-N-C catalysts into industrial systems still requires much effort\, in part\, due to the lack of durability and stability studies. M-N-C catalysts can be used in oxygen depolarized cathode (ODC) HCl electrolysis\, CO2 reduction\, and lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Understanding the mechanisms of M-N-C degradation\, durability\, and effects of modifications to such catalysts would ultimately benefit their implementation in each electrochemical system.   Chapter 1 introduces M-N-C catalysts and the various electrochemical systems they will be used in (ODC HCl electrolysis\, CO2 reduction\, and Li-S batteries). \nIn chapter two\, we investigate the durability of the Fe-N-C catalyst in ODC HCl electrolysis. Fe-N-C exhibits high oxygen reduction activity and strong resistance to chloride poisoning relative to most noble metal catalysts. However\, its durability and degradation mechanisms in HCl electrolysis are not well studied. Through a combination of durability studies\, accelerated stress tests\, and multimodal spectroscopic techniques\, we identified two main degradation pathways: an operational demetallation of Fe-N4 active sites under sustained polarization and a carbon-corrosion-induced demetallation that occurs during the transient conditions of uncontrolled shutdown. Spectroscopic analysis reveals one unstable FeN4 moiety and two stable Fe-N-C moieties that can withstand the HCl electrolysis operating conditions. These findings establish a mechanism for Fe-N-C degradation to drive future catalyst design. \nIn chapter three\, we modify Fe-N-C catalyst and Ni-N-C catalyst with heteroatom dopants to observe their effects on CO2 reduction activity\, product selectivity\, and the correlation with the changes in electronic and coordination structure. Using a post-pyrolysis treatment process\, we dope the environment around the metal active center either by introducing an axial ligand or binding to the carbon structure. Utilizing in situ/operando XAS\, we found that the dopants are generally not stable and can introduce a site-blocking effect at low overpotentials. Through these findings\, we find that the axial ligand dopants are not durable during CO2 reduction and do not make large contributions to the activity or product distribution of Ni-N-C and Fe-N-C in CO2 reduction. \nIn chapter four\, we investigate the effects of metal centers for M-N-C in polysulfide conversion and the changes in the active site structure after operation. The catalytic activity of M-N-C catalysts varies largely with different metal centers and coordinating environments.  We find that Co-N-C and Fe-N-C favor the oxidation of short-chain polysulfides to elemental sulfur\, while Sn-N-C and Ni-N-C make a larger contribution to the reduction of elemental sulfur to short-chain polysulfides. Mo-N-C\, which had the presence of Mo nanoparticles\, exhibited the lowest increase in performance compared to the others. This finding emphasizes the catalytic capability and importance of synthesizing purer M-N-C catalysts. All M-N-C catalysts were able to impact the conversion of lithium polysulfides to gain performance greater than baseline carbon. X-ray spectroscopic methods were used to analyze the structure of the M-N-C catalyst at various cycles to find that the active site structure of Fe-N-C undergoes a partial change to form Fe2O3\, while Co-N-C and Ni-N-C remain relatively stable. This change in the active site could be a cause of capacity decay in Li-S batteries. \nChapter 5 summarizes the findings and offers suggestions for future work. \n\nKevin Yang is a Ph.D. candidate in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University\, where his research focuses on understanding structure–property relationships in single-atom catalysts for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. His work spans multiple electrochemical systems\, including oxygen depolarized cathodes for hydrochloric acid electrolysis\, CO₂ electroreduction\, and lithium–sulfur batteries\, with an overarching emphasis on how catalyst active sites evolve under operating conditions and how those structural changes govern activity\, selectivity\, and durability. Kevin’s research combines electrochemical engineering with advanced multimodal characterization\, including in situ and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES/EXAFS)\, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy\, Raman spectroscopy\, electron microscopy\, and electrochemical diagnostics. Through this work\, he has developed mechanistic insights into active site degradation pathways in Fe–N–C and other transition metal–nitrogen–carbon single-atom catalysts\, helping bridge fundamental catalyst chemistry with practical reactor operation.

SUMMARY:Digital Twins for MEMS Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Northeastern University College of Engineering will be at the forefront of one of the MEMS and Microsystem community’s most anticipated gatherings this summer. Benyamin Davaji \, Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering\, is co-organizing a full-day workshop on Digital Twins for MEMS Manufacturing at Hilton Head 2026 \, taking place May 31–June 4 at the Sonesta Resort on Hilton Head Island\, South Carolina. The workshop\, co-organized with Prof. Gary Fedder of Carnegie Mellon University\, will open the conference on Sunday\, May 31\, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. \nHilton Head 2026 is the 22nd edition of the biennial Workshop on the Science and Technology of Solid-State Sensors\, Actuators\, and Microsystems\, a multidisciplinary gathering that draws researchers from academia\, industry\, and government worldwide. \nThe Digital Twins for MEMS Manufacturing workshop reflects growing momentum around smarter\, more adaptive and process-aware MEMS and semiconductor fabrication. The session will explore how digital twins — virtual representations of physical manufacturing systems — differ from conventional modeling approaches and will cover topics including automated critical-dimension extraction\, virtual metrology using equipment data\, and the integration of AI methods such as agentic approaches for iterative process and design optimization. A panel with industry participants will spotlight unmet needs and pathways for collaboration\, making the workshop a bridge between academic research and real-world manufacturing challenges. \nThis workshop builds on research from Northeastern’s Autonomous Integrated Microsystems (AIMS) Laboratory \, which develops AI-driven digital twin frameworks to connect design\, fabrication\, and metrology data in continuously learning systems. The session at Hilton Head 2026 represents an opportunity to share this work with the broader MEMS community and shape the conversation around data infrastructure\, interoperability\, and standards that will define the next generation of MEMS manufacturing. \nAbstract: Recent interest in semiconductor digital twins is driven by the expectation of accelerating process development\, enabling device – technology design co-optimization\, and supporting agile manufacturing workflows. This participatory workshop examines digital twins for MEMS from a manufacturing-centered perspective\, emphasizing how they differ from traditional modeling and simulation. Topics include an introduction to digital twin concepts with examples from MEMS-relevant processes\, automated CD extraction and process characterization\, virtual metrology using equipment data\, and the challenges of extending these approaches across complete process flows. The workshop will also introduce the role of digital twins in enabling AI methods relevant to MEMS workflows\, including agentic approaches for process and design iteration. Commercial tools and current capabilities will be reviewed\, followed by a discussion of gaps in data infrastructure\, interoperability\, and standards. A panel with industry participants will highlight unmet needs and opportunities for research and collaboration in MEMS digital twins. \nFor more information on the workshop program\, visit https://www.hh2026.org/events/sunday_workshops.html. \n
