The Space Revolution Featuring Rick Tumlinson
2022-04-20 12:00 - 13:00 | 102 ISEC, 360 Huntington Ave, 102 ISEC, Boston, MA, 02115, United States
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.
Bio:

She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Université Louis Pasteur before joining the faculty of UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories from 2004-2014. During a portion of this time she also served as the Materials Science Division Director at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories. In 2014, she moved to UC Santa Barbara to be the Kramer Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials and became Department Chair of Chemical Engineering in 2015. 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.

CFD Conversation Series: Design for Collaborative Robotic Environments
Robotic systems and devices are becoming ever more pervasive in our workplace environments. Rather than being machines that force their modalities of operation upon workers the promise is to create responsive systems that adjust and adapt their operations to human practices, supporting the emergence of new forms of work. A panel, curated by CfD faculty member Kristian Kloeckl (Art + Design, Architecture) looks at profound questions that arise as designers, architects, engineers and developers find new ways to address the emerging condition of collaborative robotic environments.

CfD Faculty Curator

Kristian KloecklAssociate Professor, Director Experience Design Lab, Department of Design, School of Architecture, Northeastern University
Kristian Kloeckl is Designer and Associate Professor at Northeastern University’s Department of Art + Design and the School of Architecture, coordinating the design graduate programs and directing the Experience Design Lab. His work probes the boundaries of experience interaction design in the context of today’s hybrid cities and investigates the role of performance-based and improvisational frameworks for design. Kloeckl is a PI for ongoing NSF-supported research on design for human-robot collaboration, author of “The Urban Improvise: Improvisation-Based Design for Hybrid Cities” (Yale University Press), and co-editor of “Workplace and Public Realm”. His work has been exhibited at Venice Biennale, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Vienna MAK, the Singapore Art Museum and he is a frequent speaker at conferences such as Montreal World Design Summit, Hybrid City Conference, Platform Strategy Executive Symposium at MIT Media Lab, World Bank SDN Forum, Red Dot Design Museum Singapore, Austrian Innovation Forum, ICA Conference Taipei, and eGov Global Exchange Singapore. Kloeckl received his Masters degree in Industrial Design from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy and his PhD in Product and Communication Design from the University IUAV of Venice.

The Panelists

Keith Evan GreenProfessor, Director Architectural Robotics Lab, Department of Design + Environmental Analysis, Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Cornell University
Keith Evan Green is a full professor at Cornell University in Human Centered Design, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, and Information Science. Green’s Architectural Robotics Lab investigates a new frontier in human-machine interaction: meticulously designed, increasingly intelligent, cyber-physical environments that support and augment us at work, school, and home, as we roam, interconnect, and age. In architectural robotics, computation is embedded in the physical fabric of our living environments, manifested as robotic devices, furniture, and rooms. With support from NSF as Principal Investigator, Green and his ARL teams generate new vocabularies of design and new understanding of human-machine interaction in the spatial realm. In addition to numerous ACM and IEEE publications, Green’s book Architectural Robotics: Ecosystems of Bits, Bytes and Biology (MIT Press, 2016) defines this emerging field. A registered architect and Senior Member of IEEE, Green earned B.A., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.Arch. from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
