SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Su Sun
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nSu Sun \nTitle:\nToward Automated Reaction Mechanism Generation for Electrocatalytic CO2 Conversion\, Boron Nitride CVD\, and Beyond \nDate:\n11/24/2025 \nTime:\n10:00:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Richard West (Advisor)\nProf. Francisco Hung\nProf. Qing Zhao\nProf. Peter Schindler\nDr. Harsha K. Chelliah \nLocation:\n157 Ryder Hall \nAbstract:\nThe advancement of sustainable energy and advanced material deposition technologies relies on a deep mechanistic understanding of chemical reactions governing electrochemical and heterogeneous catalysis processes. Computational modeling offers a powerful means to accelerate the design and optimization of these systems. However\, constructing detailed reaction mechanisms by manually enumerating all possible pathways is laborious and error-prone\, as comprehensive models can involve hundreds of chemical species and thousands of elementary reactions. In this dissertation\, I present advances toward automated reaction mechanism generation and simulation for complex chemical systems\, focusing on (i) electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR)\, (ii) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of boron nitride (BN)\, and (iii) the development of a modern MATLAB interface for Cantera that links automated mechanism generation with process-level modeling tools.\nBuilding upon the Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG) framework and prior methodological developments for electrochemical kinetics\, I developed and modernized a prototype RMGElectrocat implementation that can automatically generate detailed mechanisms for CO2RR. I implemented a transport-coupled reactor interface\, in collaboration with colleagues\, to connect surface and solution-phase chemistry with mass transport at the electrode–electrolyte interface. I integrated ab initio thermochemical and kinetic parameters provided by collaborators into the RMG database\, and I introduced the first bimetallic catalyst surface\, Cu3Sn\, into RMG. Using these capabilities\, I constructed a comprehensive “Grand Model” for CO2RR on Ag\, Cu\, and Cu3Sn surfaces\, which includes 296 unique species and 1\,322 reactions\, among them 79 protoncoupled electron-transfer (PCET) steps. I performed Faradaic efficiency (FE) analyses to evaluate model predictions against experimental data and to identify key mechanistic pathways leading to C1–C4 products. Through this work\, I established a practical\, extensible workflow for automated generation and quantitative evaluation of electrochemical reaction mechanisms.\nTo extend automated mechanism generation toward materials synthesis\, I carried out preparatory work for BN CVD using RMG. I expanded the RMG database to include boron and Group III atom types and the associated functionalities required to describe B–N–H–Cl chemistry. I performed targeted ab initio calculations on key precursors and intermediates to benchmark quantumchemical methods for boron-containing species\, and conducted a preliminary group-additivity-value (GAV) fitting into the RMG database. I then generated a prototype gas-phase BN mechanism with 29 species and 101 reactions and conducted a proof-of-concept CVD reactor simulation to demonstrate its viability. These efforts established a foundation for future automated construction of detailed BN CVD mechanisms and illustrated the adaptability of RMG to emerging thin-film materials systems.\nFinally\, I developed a modern MATLAB interface for Cantera\, enabling robust and user-friendly access to advanced chemical-kinetics\, thermodynamics\, and transport models directly withinMATLAB. I built the interface usingMATLAB’s clibgen infrastructure to provide an objectoriented\, memory-safe API that maps directly onto Cantera’s application binary interface (ABI). I implemented automated build workflows and created a comprehensive suite of MATLAB Live Script tutorials to support educational and research use. This interface connects mechanisms generated by RMG with detailed reactor and process modeling in Cantera\, bridging automated mechanism generation with engineering analysis and simulation.

SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Barrett Smith
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nBarrett Smith \nTitle:\nin situ polymer gelation in confined flow \nDate:\n12/10/2025 \nTime:\n9:00:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Sara M. Hashmi (Advisor)\nProf. Steve Lustig\nProf. Xiaoyu Tang\nProf. Matt Kipper \nLocation:\n425 Shillman Hall \nAbstract:\nPolymer flows through pores\, nozzles and other small channels govern engineered and naturally occurring dynamics in many processes\, from 3D printing to oil recovery in the earth’s subsurface to a wide variety of biological flows. Cross-linking within these polymer flows can change their material properties dramatically. Bulk characterization of these changes is insufficient to describe how these materials behave in microfluidic flow. Shear stresses produced by confinement cause changes in gel properties. Additionally\, small inhomogeneities which arise during cross-linking become more important at microfluidic length scales. As a result of these complexities\, the behavior of polymer solutions which are actively undergoing cross-linking is understudied and few principles have been established which help determine a priori whether emergent behaviors such as clogging will occur. \nIn this dissertation\, we investigate a simple model system of polymer cross-linking in microfluidic flow. Alginate\, a common biopolymer\, is crosslinked by calcium ions while being driven through a microfluidic channel at constant flow rate. We map the boundaries defining clogging and flow as a function of flow rate\, polymer concentration\, and crosslinker concentration. Between the dynamic regimes of complete clogging and unrestricted flow\, we observe a remarkable phenomenon in which the crosslinked polymer intermittently clogs the channel. This pattern of deposition and removal of the crosslinked gel is simultaneously highly reproducible\, long-lasting\, and controllable by system parameters. We provide an analytical framework to quantitatively explain and describe the intermittent behavior as resulting from diffusively driven deposition in a high Peclet number flow where convection dominates over diffusion. Fitting the experimental data shows that higher component concentrations lead to more efficient deposition and more swollen gels\, while increasing the flow rate increases the deposition rate but produces much less swollen gels. By correlating the analytical analysis with bulk rheology measurements\, we find that deposition efficiency increases with the stiffness of the gel formed in flow. Softer gels withstand higher shear stresses before ablation. Upon detaching from the channel\, the gel retains its shape\, resulting in alginate microrods. To investigate the properties of these alginate rods\, we\ndevelop and validate a novel method which uses common laboratory equipment to measure viscoelastic mechanical properties of small\, soft rods and fibers. Finally\, we discuss future directions for this model system and related experimental setups. \n\nBarrett Smith is a PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. Mr. Smith obtained a Bachelor’s of Science in Biological Engineering from Cornell University in 2014. Upon graduating\, he worked for five years in the research department of the pharmaceutical company Insmed Inc\, where he developed nebulized and intravenous nanoparticle formulations for novel antibiotics. He joined the Hashmi Complex Fluids lab in 2021and is defending his dissertation in December 2025. In his graduate work\, Mr. Smith investigates the behavior of polymer hydrogels in microfluidic systems. Outside of school\, Mr. Smith enjoys spending time with his wife and two children reading\, completing puzzles\, and riding bikes.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Peter Kofinas
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Title: Enabling Sub-Ambient Li-Ion Performance and Postoperative Anti-Adhesion Protection with Functional Material Design\n \nLocation: 108 SN \nAbstract: Research in the Kofinas Laboratory focuses on the design\, synthesis\, and processing of functional materials for energy storage\, printed electronics\, and biomedical technologies. This presentation will focus on two complementary thrusts:\nElectrolytes for lithium-ion batteries in extreme environments: We develop solid and water-based polymer electrolyte platforms engineered for improved safety and long-term reliability. A key emphasis is enabling stable ion transport at low temperatures\, with target performance metrics that include broadened electrochemical stability windows and sustained ionic conductivity under sub-ambient conditions relevant to cold-weather and extreme-environment operation.\nAnti-adhesion biomaterials for surgery: We design biodegradable\, functional polymer blends to mitigate postoperative adhesions. Using solution blow spinning\, we directly deposit conformal fibrous mats onto wet and irregular tissue surfaces. Upon warming to body temperature\, these fibers transition into protective films that adhere selectively\, provide localized coverage\, and degrade on a controlled timeline. These features intended to support use across abdominal\, cardiac\, and gynecologic procedures. Across both thrusts\, we integrate polymer chemistry\, transport and electrochemistry\, interfacial science\, and scalable processing\, paired with application-driven testing. The overarching goal is to translate functional polymer systems into safer lithium-ion batteries and clinically practical anti-adhesion barriers suitable for operating-room deployment. \n\nPeter Kofinas is Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Maryland (since July 2017). A member of the UMD faculty since 1996\, he previously served as Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Graduate Programs in the A. James Clark School of Engineering and also as Equity Officer and Diversity Officer. He holds affiliate (courtesy) appointments in Bioengineering and in Materials Science and Engineering. Kofinas earned his SB and SM in Chemical Engineering from MIT in 1989 and a PhD in Polymers from MIT in 1994\, followed by two years as a postdoctoral associate in MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering. He directs the Functional Macromolecular Laboratory (FML; fml.umd.edu)\, which advances functional polymers for medicine and pharmaceutics\, energy storage\, and microelectronics. His group focuses on the synthesis and structure–property relationships of complex polymer architectures\, with current projects in lithium-ion battery electrolytes\, additive manufacturing for printed electronics\, and sprayable surgical materials to prevent postoperative adhesions. Kofinas is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and the Clark School’s Outstanding Junior Faculty Teaching\, Senior Faculty Outstanding Research\, and Faculty Outstanding Service awards. He holds the endowed Keystone Professorship for excellence in undergraduate teaching and is also an Engaged Faculty Award honoree. Born in Switzerland and raised in Greece\, he is bilingual in French and Greek and speaks fluent English\, German\, Spanish\, and Italian. A former concert pianist\, he is currently a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt.

SUMMARY:INSI Distinguished Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. John Gustafson\, Arizona State University \nTitle: Next-Generation Arithmetic \nWhen: Friday\, January 23\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. \nTeams Link: INSI Distinguished Seminar Speaker – John Gustafson | Meeting Chat | Microsoft Teams \nAbstract: IEEE Standard floating-point arithmetic wastes energy\, power\, memory\, and bandwidth\, all of which are critical burdens for AI\, high-performance computing (HPC)\, and embedded computing. These shortcomings have given rise to completely new ways to represent real numbers on computers\, and a revolution is underway that may give us the effect of one or two more doublings of performance now that Moore’s law is no longer providing such performance doublings through transistor technology. It is also now becoming possible to customize the vocabulary of a number system to match what is required for a particular application; this means better answers are possible using fewer bits. The posit format introduced in 2017 has matured to the point where it can serve as a drop-in replacement for the outdated IEEE floating-point format. Recent developments (2025) now show that an N-bit posit can use less energy and silicon area than an N-bit IEEE float and also reduce time-per-operation. This is a breakthrough in fundamental computer design. \nSpeaker bio:\nProf. John L. Gustafson (www.johngustafson.net) is Chief Scientist of Vq Research and a Visiting Scholar at Arizona State University. He is the inventor of several novel forms of computer arithmetic first introduced in his 2015 book\, The End of Error: Unum Computing. He extended that work in 2025 with Every Bit Counts: Posit Computing. He is best known for his 1988 argument showing that parallel processing performance need not be limited by “Amdahl’s law\,” now generally known as Gustafson’s law. Previously\, he has been Senior Fellow and Chief Product Architect at AMD and a Director of Intel Labs. He is a recipient of the inaugural Gordon Bell Prize and is a Golden Core member of IEEE.
