Gordon Institute Virtual Information Session
2022-05-18 09:00 - 10:00 (America/New_York)
Learn how you can earn a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Leadership as a stand-alone certificate or in combination with one of twenty Master of Science degrees offered through Northeastern’s College of Engineering, College of Science, or Khoury College of Computer Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering recognized The Gordon Institute of Engineering Leadership (GIEL)for its innovative curriculum that combines technical education, leadership capabilities, and the “Challenge Project”: an opportunity for students to receive master’s level credit while working in industry.
By aligning technical proficiency with leadership capabilities, GIEL accelerates the development of high-potential engineers and prepares them to lead complex projects early in their careers. Upon completion of the program, more than 88% of the 2020 class reported increased leadership responsibility, while more than 50% of the 2020 class reported being promoted within one year of graduation.
Our Director of Admissions will be directly answering your application questions for Fall 2022.
You will have the opportunity to hear from Alumni on how The Gordon Institute propelled their engineering careers. Program professors will also be present to answer curriculum questions.

Data-Centric Networking: Theory, Algorithms and Applications
2022-04-29 15:00 - 16:15
Professor Edmund Yeh will give an invited seminar titled “Data-Centric Networking: Theory, Algorithms and Applications” in the Electrical Engineering Seminar Series at Harvard University John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Friday, Apr 29, 2022
3:00 pm to 4:15 pm | Harvard John A. Paulson, School of Engineering and Applied Science, SEC LL2.221 or Virtually
In the era of big data, domain experts in various engineering and science fields are facing unprecedented challenges in data access, distribution, processing and analysis, and in the coordinated use of limited computing, storage and network resources. To meet this challenge, data-centric network design approaches such as Named Data Networking (NDN) have been proposed, which focus on enabling end users to obtain the data they want, rather than simply on communication between specific nodes.
In this talk, we present new frameworks for the optimization of key functionalities supported by data-centric networking, which are broadly applicable to content delivery networks, peer-to-peer networks, wireless heterogeneous networks, and distributed computing networks. The frameworks enable joint (in-network) caching, request routing, and congestion control, for optimizing metrics including routing costs, data retrieval delay, and content-based fairness. We meet the challenge of the underlying NP-hard problems by exploiting submodularity, matroid structure, DR-submodularity, and by leveraging tools including concave relaxation, stochastic gradient ascent, continuous greedy and Lagrangian barrier algorithms. We develop polynomial-time approximation algorithms with proven optimality guarantees, with particular emphasis on adaptive and distributed implementations. We further discuss the extension of these frameworks for jointly optimal wireless user association, interference management and content caching in wireless heterogeneous networks, and for jointly optimal computation scheduling, caching and request forwarding in distributed computing networks.
Finally, we discuss an ongoing project which applies the optimization frameworks and algorithms to facilitate data distribution and computation in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) high-energy physics network, one of the largest data applications in the world.

We are at one of the most pivotal moments in history: The space revolution is here, and if we leave it to Rick Tumlinson, an entire industry in space will be here before we know it.
One of the world’s top space visionaries, Tumlinson will take students on a rocket ride through his journey as a trailblazer in the fascinating field of space.
Rick Tumlinson
A pioneer of the space revolution, Tumlinson spent more than 30 years defining, enabling and founding many of the pillars of the frontier movement, including the private takeover of Russia’s Mir space station, the X-Prize, and the first private ticket to ISS—all aimed at achieving his end goal of discovering a method to reach any destination, at any time. Tumlinson is also a six-time congressional witness, whose findings have set the philosophies and legislative pillars of the commercial space industry, referred to as NewSpace, alongside Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson.

Design of Polymer Electrolytes with Superionic Ion Transport
2022-04-13 12:00 - 13:00
ChE Seminar Series Presents:
Rachel A. Segalman, PhD.
Department Chair, Chemical Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara
Abstract:
Progress toward durable, high-energy density lithium-ion batteries has been hindered by instabilities at electrolyte-electrode interfaces leading to poor cycling stability, and by safety concerns associated with energy-dense lithium metal anodes. Solid polymeric electrolytes (SPEs) can help mitigate these issues, however SPE conductivity is limited by sluggish polymer segmental dynamics. Transport through the free volume of ordered, superionically conductive domains results in decoupling of ion motion and polymer segmental dynamics. Although crystalline domains are conventionally detrimental to ion conduction in SPEs, we demonstrate that semicrystalline polymer electrolytes with labile ion-ion interactions and tailored ion sizes exhibit excellent lithium conductivity (1.6 mS/cm) and selectivity (t+~0.6-0.8). This allows for simultaneous optimization of typically orthogonal properties including conductivity, Li-selectivity, mechanics, and processability.

In 2018 she also became the Schlinger Distinguished Chair of Chemical Engineering and the Associate Director of the UT/UCSB/LBL EFRC: Center for Materials for Water and Energy Systems. She is the co-editor of the Annual Reviews of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and an associate editor of ACS Macro Letters. Segalman’s group works on controlling the structure and thermodynamics of functional polymers for energy applications including polymeric ionic liquids and semiconducting and bioinspired polymers. Among other awards, Segalman received the Journal of Polymer Science Innovation Award, the Dillon Medal from the American Physical Society, the Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering, is an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and a Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar. She is also a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.
