SUMMARY:JOINT SPECIAL COLLOQUIUM: AI-Optimized Advanced Packaging for Next-Generation Computing
DESCRIPTION:JOINT SPECIAL COLLOQUIUM \nCollege of Science\, College of Engineering & Quantum Materials and Sensing Institute (QMSI)\nAI-Optimized Advanced Packaging for Next-Generation Computing\nDr. Rabindra Das\nMIT Lincoln Laboratory \nFriday\, Apr 3\, 2026; 11:30am to 12:30pm\nHosts: Prof. Arun Bansil & Prof. Kin Chung Fong \nVenue: Elliott Hall – Room 130C\, 147 S. Bedford St\, Burlington\, MA\nRemote: MS Teams Link \nAbstract \nThe rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI)\, high-performance computing (HPC)\, and data-intensive sensing systems is creating unprecedented demands for computational capability\, energy efficiency\, and system integration. Applications such as autonomous sensing platforms\, satellites\, and unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles increasingly require powerful onboard processing to analyze large volumes of data in real time. As conventional transistor scaling slows\, advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration are emerging as critical technologies for enabling next-generation computing systems. \nThis talk presents a research vision for AI-optimized advanced packaging\, where artificial intelligence techniques—particularly decision-tree-based optimization—are used to guide the design and fabrication of complex heterogeneous microsystems. AI-driven approaches enable optimization of substrate fabrication\, chiplet placement\, interconnect routing\, power delivery\, and thermal management across multi-chip systems. A central focus is the development of heterogeneous System-on-Wafer (SoW) architectures\, integrating tens to hundreds of chiplets on a single wafer substrate to achieve extraordinary computing density. A case study on superconducting wafer-scale multi-chip modules with ultra-fine-pitch micro-bump interconnects demonstrates how advanced packaging can address key challenges in scalability\, interconnect density\, and system performance for future AI\, HPC\, and quantum computing platforms. \nBiography \nRabindra N. Das\, Ph.D. is a Member of the Technical Staff in the Advanced Technology Division at MIT Lincoln Laboratory\, Lexington\, MA. Previously\, he served as a Principal Engineer at Endicott Interconnect Technologies (formerly IBM Endicott). Dr. Das has more than 23 years of experience in microelectronics packaging and heterogeneous integration\, spanning high-performance computing\, medical electronics\, and superconducting quantum hardware systems. He has authored 135+ technical publications and holds 51 patents in microelectronics packaging technologies. He has been recognized for four consecutive years (2020–2023) in Stanford University’s list of the world’s top 2% most-cited scientists.

SUMMARY:ChE MS Thesis Defense: Richard Gyamfi Atta
DESCRIPTION: Name: Richard Gyamfi Atta \nTitle: Understanding Mucus-Bile Salt/ Phospholipid Mixed Micelle Interactions \nDate: 04/07/2026 \nTime: 03:30:00 PM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Steve Lustig (Advisor)\nProf. Rebecca Carrier\nProf. Srirupa Chakraborty\nDennis Leung \nLocation: Forsyth 128 \nAbstract:\nBile salt–phospholipid mixed micelles play a central role in gastrointestinal transport of lipids and poorly water-soluble drugs\, yet their interactions with mucin networks remain poorly understood at the molecular level. Here\, we combine time-resolved ATR-FTIR spectroscopy\, two-dimensional correlation analysis\, diffusion modeling\, and isothermal titration calorimetry to resolve the sequence\, energetics\, and transport behavior of micelle–mucin interactions. The mucin network is first shown to relax into an equilibrium state governed by a glycan-dominated structural hierarchy. Upon exposure to mixed micelles\, this equilibrated network undergoes a distinct sequence of reorganization initiated by perturbation of hydrogen-bonding interactions\, followed by peptide backbone rearrangement and eventual glycan decoupling. Diffusion analysis reveals that micellar assemblies penetrate the mucin network with effective diffusivities on the order of 10⁻⁶ cm²/s despite ongoing structural evolution. Notably\, the ability of a constant-diffusivity Fickian model to accurately describe transport under these conditions indicates that molecular-scale reorganization does not substantially alter the effective transport resistance over the measurement timescale\, establishing a direct connection between spectroscopic dynamics and macroscopic transport behavior. \nCalorimetric measurements further demonstrate a concentration-dependent transition from localized\, enthalpy-driven binding at low micelle concentrations to cooperative\, entropy-dominated network disruption at higher loadings associated with higher-order micellar aggregates. Together\, these results show that bile salt micelles actively remodel mucin networks rather than traversing a static barrier\, while maintaining effective diffusive transport. This work provides a molecular-level framework for understanding mucus- mediated transport and its implications for physiological processes and drug delivery. \n\nRichard Gyamfi Atta is a Master’s candidate in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University\, where he conducts research in the Carrier and Lustig laboratories on transport phenomena across biological barriers. His work focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing interactions between bile salt–phospholipid assemblies and mucin networks\, with the goal of improving drug transport across the gastrointestinal mucus layer. By integrating time-resolved ATR-FTIR spectroscopy\, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy\, diffusion modeling\, and calorimetry\, he develops mechanistic frameworks that connect molecular-scale interactions to macroscopic transport behavior in complex biopolymer systems. In addition to his academic research\, Richard has industry experience in gene therapy process development\, where he contributed to downstream purification strategies for adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors\, including optimization of chromatography and filtration processes to improve product recovery and quality. His research interests are centered on pharmaceutical drug delivery\, particularly the design of biomaterials and carrier systems that enhance the transport of poorly soluble drugs and biologics across mucosal and other physiological barriers. He aims to develop mechanistically driven approaches that bridge molecular interactions\, material design\, and transport phenomena to enable more effective and predictable drug delivery systems.

My research in design decision-making\, ontology\, and predictive analytics\, as Site Director of the Center for e-Design at UMass Amherst\, has enabled me to apply these principles across multiple projects\, notably pressure vests for children with autism and retrofit seatbelt systems for motorcoaches. Those experiences naturally led me to take on a leadership role in the New England NSF I-Corps Hub program\, a structured pathway for translating design-led research into real-world impact\, and now to champion our campus’s innovation\, entrepreneurship\, and creativity ecosystem.\nThe talk introduces NSF I-Corps and the UMass I-Corps Hub as experiential mechanisms for researchers to assess the real-world impact and commercial potential of their innovations. Practical benefits include evidence to refine research direction\, stronger grant and translational proposals\, expanded career pathways\, and sustained connections to the innovation ecosystem. Importantly\, the primary goal is learning and translation—not necessarily company formation—and the program provides concrete strategies for framing scholarly impact and moving research toward societal benefit. \nBio: Sundar Krishnamurty is Vice Provost for Innovation\, Entrepreneurship\, and Creativity at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and has been the Ronnie & Eugene Isenberg Distinguished Professor in Engineering since 2020. In his current university leadership roles\, he contributes to the Economic Development Leadership Team and serves as Lead Faculty at UMass Amherst as well as Tech Scout Lead for the NSF I-Corps Hub Northeast Region. His prior leadership appointments include Principal Investigator for NSF I-Corps @ UMass (2021–2025)\, Site Director for the NSF I/UCRC Center for e-Design (2012–2023)\, and Department Head of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering (2015–2025)\, following earlier service as Interim and Associate Department Head. From 2015 to 2020 he was Associate Director of the Center for Personalized Health Monitoring and Director of the Advanced Design and Fabrication (ADDFab) Lab. Krishnamurty is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers\, was inducted into the 2024 class of Senior Members of the National Academy of Inventors\, and received the 2022 Excellence in Research Award from ASME’s Computers and Information in Engineering Division. \nHosted by: Department Chair & Professor\, Yingzi Lin in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

SUMMARY:ChE MS Thesis Defense: Sofia Roger
DESCRIPTION:Name: Sofia Roger \nTitle: Development and Evaluation of Learning Tool for a Global Review of Mineral Commodities \nDate: 04/08/2026 \nTime: 12:00:00 PM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Luke Landherr (Advisor)\nProf. Joshua Gallaway\nProf. Alexis Prybutok \nLocation: Ryder 205 \nAbstract:\nEngineering is a highly collaborative\, intersectional practice that depends on transforming raw materials. Despite this relationship\, it is difficult to explain how engineers’ decisions in industrial settings affect the rest of the world. The consequences of sourcing materials for technological advancement may not always be explicit. The effects of engineers consuming material can have cascading consequences or be so removed that they fall outside design concerns. To promote discussion of the socioeconomic effects of raw material consumption in engineering\, this work aimed to develop a website-based learning tool\, www.wherematerialscomefrom.com. The tool provides context on the mining processes used to obtain raw materials. Through survey data collection\, the tool was evaluated for its ability to help users understand how raw materials are acquired. \n\nSofia Roger completed her Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Northeastern University and has since decided to pursue her master’s also in Chemical Engineering as part of Northeastern’s plus one program. She completed two co-ops\, during which she participated in the research and design of solid-state sulfur-chalcogen batteries at Avanti Battery Co. and the development of conductive ceramic for high-temperature reactor design at Lydian Labs. Her experience in materials engineering for sustainable technology motivated her to explore which environmentally sound raw materials can be used to innovate. This motivation gave rise to the educational tool developed in her thesis work.

SUMMARY:ChE MS Thesis Defense: Austin Breed
DESCRIPTION:Name: Austin Breed \nTitle: Fabrication of Na-ion Intercalation Materials for Kinetic Energy Harvesting \nDate: 04/10/2026 \nTime: 01:00:00 PM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Joshua Gallaway (Advisor)\nProf. Sanjeev Mukerjee\nProf. Magda Barecka\nEnock Nagelli\, PhD \nLocation: Snell Library 001 \nAbstract:\nThis work investigates ion-solvation switching as a mechanism for electrochemical kinetic energy harvesting (EKEH) in low-power\, confined environments\, motivated by the growing demand for sustainable energy sources for distributed electronics. Long-term stability\, confined area design\, and unsteady current output limit contemporary harvesting designs\, often hamstrung by material engineering shortfalls. Copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) is a Prussian blue analogue (PBA) promising new active material under investigation in long-term storage and kinetic harvesting devices due to its face-centered cubic (FCC) structure conducive to ion-intercalation\, adequate theoretical capacity\, and stability comparative to traditional Prussian blue cathodes. However\, CuHCF still experiences notable capacity fade and mechanical degradation during prolonged exposure to aqueous electrolyte. This study fabricated copper CuHCF electrodes\, evaluated their structure using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and\, for varying fabrication parameters\, used electrochemical methods including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)\, cyclic voltammetry (CV)\, and open-circuit potential (OCP) power cycles to benchmark performance and\ndurability impacts. \nResults confirm that CuHCF-based systems can reproduce switching potentials on the order of ~0.40 mV. Though consistent with prior reports\, this work demonstrated prolonged voltage saturation time\, highlighting evidence of kinetic and diffusional limitations. Material composition strongly influenced electrochemical performance\, where Fe(II)-rich CuHCF exhibited improved reversibility and reduced overpotentials\, suggesting enhanced charge-transfer kinetics and structural stability\, albeit with a modest reduction in capacity. Electrolyte concentration further impacted performance\, reinforcing its importance as a design parameter. Thermal annealing degraded electrochemical initial performance\, likely due to the loss of interstitial water and disruption of ion transport pathways. \nThis work elucidated the sensitivity of performance and stability to various fabrication parameters in Na-ion intercalation materials for this ion-solvation switching applications.\nFurthermore\, this study highlights key trade-offs between stability\, capacity\, and voltage saturation in CuHCF-based ion-solvation switching systems and identifies critical areas for improvement\, particularly in materials engineering and electrolyte optimization\, to enable practical implementation of next generation electrochemical energy harvesting technologies. Understanding the causal relationships between fabrication methods and these measured quantities will drive future work towards mitigating these failure modes and limitations. \n\nAustin Grant Breed\, BS\, EIT Austin is currently pursuing a Master of Science (MS) in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston\, conducting research in the Gallaway Lab focused on electrochemical kinetic energy harvesting. He completed his undergraduate training in Chemical Engineering at the United States Military Academy at West Point. During his time at West Point\, he conducted research in hemorheology\, developing stochastic models of large amplitude oscillatory shear forces in human blood\, and participated in a waste-to-energy demonstration project involving synthetic gas production via rotary kiln gasification. He also interned at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\, where he analyzed the kinetic and aerodynamic effects of nanotechnology integrated into solid chemical propellants. Austin earned his EIT status in 2017. Prior to graduate school\, Austin served over seven years as a commissioned U.S. Army Aviation Officer\, accumulating approximately 750 flight hours across multiple rotary- and fixed-wing platforms including the CH-47F Chinook. His most recent military culminated in command of an aviation maintenance company in the 2-501st General Support Aviation Battalion at Fort Bliss\, where he oversaw maintenance operations for a 34-aircraft fleet and over 175 soldiers. He also served in several leadership roles supporting NATO deterrence operations in Europe and Korea. Austin’s service was recognized with the Meritorious Service Medal\, the Honorable Order of St. Michael\, and several other distinctions. Last year\, Austin served as a project lead at Storion Energy in Wilmington\, MA\, directing the development and assessment of a novel continuous vanadium electrolyte production process — work that also forms the basis of his thesis defense through Northeastern University’s Gordon Institute of Engineering Leadership fellowship. After completing his MS\, Austin plans to continue working towards his PhD in chemical engineering with the Gallaway Lab while instructing within the chemical engineering department at West Point.

Register here. \n  \n\n• •\n\nFeatured Speaker \nJohn Martinis\, PhD \nUC Santa Barbara and Qolab \n2025 Nobel Prize in Physics \nLecture Abstract \nQuantum mechanics was developed to describe the physics of the small\, for fundamental particles\, atoms and molecules. But does it still work for macroscopic systems? My PhD thesis experiment in 1985 tested this idea\, showing the macroscopic current and voltages in a 1 cm chip obey the quantum phenomena of tunneling and energy-level quantization\, proving that a superconducting circuit can behave as a single ‘artificial atom.’ \nOver the last four decades\, many physicists around the world have continued research on quantum devices. The field has evolved from fundamental tests into a high-stakes effort to build quantum bits and a quantum computer. At Google\, our ‘quantum supremacy’ experiment was the culmination of this system-level optimization\, proving that a processor could outpace classical supercomputers by maintaining high-fidelity control over a huge computational (Hilbert) space. Now\, at my startup Qolab\, we are leveraging 300mm semiconductor fabrication to achieve the extreme uniformity and yield necessary to build a useful general-purpose quantum computer.
