Molecular Tools to Provide Insights into the Fate of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Systems
2019-11-14 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | 103 Churchill, 103 Churchill Hall, 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, 02115, United States
Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for a seminar with Dr. Allison MacKay, Professor and Chair of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering at Ohio State University.
Molecular Tools to Provide Insights into the Fate of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Systems
ABSTRACT: Environmental engineers have long been concerned with the fate of organic contaminants in aquatic systems, including both natural systems such as lakes and engineered systems such as drinking water treatment plants. Existing fate prediction models tend to fail for so-called ‘emerging’ contaminants (recently quantified, unregulated contaminants with suspected toxic activity) because these contaminants undergo more complicated processes in the environment. We have been exploring how advances in molecular level characterization tools from the pharmaceutical and biochemical sciences may offer new opportunities to understand the underlying mechanisms of contaminant fate processes for contaminants with complex chemical structures. This presentation will focus on: (i) our applications of computational chemistry tools to obtain insights into the role of electron distributions in positively-charged organic contaminant binding to clays and organic matter in environmental systems, and (ii) our recent use of high-resolution mass spectrometry to probe alterations of complex organic matter following drinking water treatment processes. Insights gained from these approaches can lead to refinements of contaminant fate models and ultimately, better management of aquatic systems.
BIO: Dr. Allison MacKay is Professor and Chair of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering at Ohio State University. Her research program is directed toward the fate of contaminants in engineered and natural aquatic systems. Current project examples include developing better guidance for drinking water plant operators to manage the treatment of toxins from algae in reservoirs, and integrating advanced molecular computation tools to identify the binding mechanisms of contaminants in sediments and soils.
She currently serves on the Board of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors. Dr. MacKay holds Doctoral and Master degrees in Environmental Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She received a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Engineering Science (Chemical Option) from the University of Toronto.

ECE Distinguished Speaker Series: David Z. Pan; Wednesday, November 13 at 12 PM in 140 ISEC
2019-11-13 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York)
Abstract:
The recent artificial intelligence (AI) boom has been largely driven by three confluence forces: algorithms, big data, and computing power enabled by modern integrated circuits (ICs) including specialized AI accelerators. In this talk, I will present a synergistic approach on AI and intelligent IC/accelerator designs with two main themes, AI for IC and IC for AI. As the semiconductor technology enters the era of extreme scaling, IC design and manufacturing complexities are becoming extremely high. More intelligent and agile IC design technologies are needed than ever to optimize performance, power, area, manufacturability, reliability, security, etc., and to deliver equivalent scaling to Moore’s Law. I will present some recent results leveraging modern AI and machine learning advancement with domain-specific customizations for agile IC design and manufacturing closure. Meanwhile, customized IC can drastically improve AI performance and energy efficiency by orders of magnitude. I will present the hardware/software co-design for energy-efficient neural networks. The bidirectional reinforcement of AI and IC technologies holds great potential to significantly advance the state-of-the-art of each other.

Information Session for Dialogue of Civilizations trip to the UK on Scientific Revolutions
2019-11-12 17:30 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | Curry Student Center, 360 Huntington Ave., Boston, MA, 02115, United States
England and the Scientific Revolutions
Instructor: Prof. Waleed Meleis
You are invited to an information session to learn more about a Dialogue of Civilizations trip to the UK over Summer 2, 2020.
The Dialogue studies two revolutions in scientific thought: the Scientific Revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries and the computational revolution of the 20th century. From our base in London, we begin by exploring the Scientific Revolution and the work of Newton in England and trace the evolution of scientific thought from the 16th through 18th centuries. We study the natural connections between the history of science taking place during the Renaissance and the local environment through scientific outings to local museums, observatories, universities, laboratories, and archaeological sites. We then contrast this material with key results scientific results from the 20th century, including chaos theory, computational complexity, logic, physics, quantum mechanics, and the theory of computation. Students will visit key historical, cultural and artistic sites in London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bath, and Greenwich.
