SUMMARY:Vedant Sumaria's PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Exploring Micro-Machined Glass Shell Resonators For Sensor Application” \nAbstract: \nThis work presents the exploration of the chip-scale glass blowing technique for novel sensing methods. On-chip microspherical glass shells (MSG) of hundreds of micrometers in diameter with ultra-smooth surfaces and sub-micrometer wall thicknesses have been fabricated and have been shown to sustain optical whispering gallery mode resonance with high Q-factors of greater than 25 million. These resonators exhibit a temperature sensitivity of 1.17 GHz K−1 and can be configured as ultra-high-sensitivity thermal sensors for a wide range of applications. \nWe demonstrate a thermal infrared (IR) detector based on a high-quality factor (Q) whispering gallery mode (WGM) borosilicate glass microspherical shell resonator and investigate its performance in detecting IR radiation in the wavelength range of 1 –20 μ m. The resonator exhibits a temperature sensitivity of 1.17 GHz/K with a Q-factor of 3 million and can be configured as a high-sensitivity infrared sensor. The microspherical shell IR sensor achieved a noise-equivalent power (NEP) of 944.89 pW/√Hz experimentally. A laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is used to measure the physical expansion of the microspherical glass resonator when IR radiation is absorbed. A dimensional change of ≈100 fm is shown to be resolved. \nA comparison of two calorimetric biosensing systems with relatively high-throughput sample analysis is also reported. The calorimetric biosensor system compared are a thin (20 μm) micro-machined Y-cut quartz crystal resonator (QCR) and a MSG (6 μm thick) Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) resonator as a temperature sensor placed close to a chemical reaction chamber with the immobilized enzyme. The enzymes (urease and glucose oxidase) were immobilized on superparamagnetic nanoparticles using covalent bonding. This configuration enables a sensing system where the reaction chamber is physically separated from the analyte solution of interest and thereby free from fouling effects typically associated with biochemical reactions occurring on the sensor surface. The performance of this biosensing system is compared by the detection of 0-250 mM urea and glucose in phosphate buffer. \nFurther\, we present MSG WGM resonator-based thermal sensor array which is configured with a 3D printed reaction chamber that utilizes the backside silicon of the resonator for sensitive calorimetric biosensing applications. The coupling of heat from the reaction chamber to the WGM resonator is achieved via conduction from the analyte medium. The sensor was aligned to the opening of the 3D-printed reaction chamber\, and the device was mounted using a thermo-elastic epoxy. This sensor configuration allows for a very robust sensing platform with no fouling of the sensor surface or degradation in its performance metrics. Resonance frequency tracking using the Pound-Drever- Hall locking method was used for enzymatic activity measurements. Results of the catalytic reaction of glucose with glucose oxidase and the hydrolysis reaction of urea by urease are reported. In addition\, body fluids such as blood plasma\, serum\, and blister fluid are tested\, which match very well with the experimental results. From the analysis of the signal-to-noise ratio of the glucose sensor\, a resolution of 100 nM could be obtained\, improving the detection limit by a factor of 10\,000 compared to QCR sensors. \nCommittee: \nProf. Srinivas Tadigadapa (Advisor) \nProf. Matteo Rinaldi \nProf. Yongmin Liu \nProf. Rosemary Smith

SUMMARY:Catalytic treatment of water contaminated with halogenated hydrocarbons
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nUmit Ozkan\, Chair & University Distinguished Professor \nDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, Ohio State University \nAbstract:  \nGroundwater contamination by halogenated compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) is an environmental concern due to their high level of toxicity and their potential impact on drinking water. Hydrogenation of chlorinated compounds offers an efficient and cost-effective way of decontaminating groundwater since it eliminates the chlorinated compounds by catalytically converting them to hydrocarbons and hydrogen chloride. Although promising conversions have been obtained with the palladium-based state-the-art catalysts\, slow kinetics at low temperatures and low concentrations as well as deactivation due to reduced sulfur and chlorine species (SO42-\, HS–\, Cl–) are still recurring problems. To overcome these issues\, we are using a newly-developed material\, a swellable organically modified silica (SOMS) as a catalyst scaffold. SOMS is a very hydrophobic material\, but it has a very high affinity for organics.  These characteristics allow the organic contaminants to concentrate inside the pores\, near the active sites\, hence helping the kinetics. Hydrophobicity serves as a deterrent to deactivation by keeping the water-dissolved poisons away from the active sites.  Activity measurements performed in liquid and gas phases as well as catalyst characterization results will be presented. \nBiography: \nUmit S. Ozkan is a Distinguished University Professor and a College of Engineering Distinguished Professor at The Ohio State University.  She received her Ph.D from Iowa State University in 1984 and joined the faculty of The Ohio State University in 1985. Between 2000 and 2005\, she also served as the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering. She held Visiting Scientist and Visiting Professor positions at the French IRCE-LYON and  Université Claude Bernard\, respectively.   Currently\, she is the Chair of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department. \nHer current research interests are focused on heterogeneous catalysis and electro-catalysis. Professor Ozkan has held and continues to hold many leadership positions in several professional organizations\, including ACS\, AIChE\, and North American Catalysis Society.   She is on the Editorial Boards of Catalysis Today\, Journal of Molecular Catalysis\, Catalysis Letters\, Topics in Catalysis\, The Royal Society of Chemistry Catalysis Book Series\, Applied Catalysis B\, ACS Applied Energy Materials\, Catalysis Reviews in Science and Engineering\, ACS Catalysis\, Journal of Catalysis\, and Nature Sustainability.   Dr. Ozkan is a Professional Engineer registered in Ohio.  She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAS)\, American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE)\, and American Chemical Society (ACS). \nProfessor Ozkan is the recipient of many honors and awards among which are ACS Henry H. Storch Award (2017)\, ACS Energy and Fuels Distinguished Researcher Award (2012)\, John van Geuns Lectureship Award at the Van’t Hoff Institute at the University of Amsterdam (2010)\, Iowa State University\, Professional Achievement Citation in Engineering (2010)\, AIChE Mentorship Excellence Award (2009)\, Fulbright Senior Scholar Award (2007)\, the Society of Women Engineers Achievement Award (2002.

Controlling polymer chain motion\, swelling\, and functional group distribution is critical to selective molecule transport. A dichotomy exists between selective molecule transport\, ion conductivity\, and physical properties characterized by a property trade-off. Deviations are associated with composition\, morphology\, mass transfer limitations\, and system design efficiency. For example\, membrane materials for gas separation are needed at elevated temperatures in aggressive environments requiring greater chemical and physical stability. Nanocomposite organic-inorganic materials can potentially address these requirements by combining the processibility of organic polymers with the separation characteristics of inorganic molecular sieves. Ion and water transport in a proton-exchange membrane (PEM) and anion-exchange membrane (AEM) are essential to its performance. Numerous PEM and AEM synthetic efforts have sought to improve their transport\, brittle properties when dry\, and wet-film durability issues. These areas impact device performance that are key design considerations of new materials. Fundamental science is essential in the creation of new knowledge and transformative technologies. However\, understanding and controlling material assembly is a cornerstone of material science. The focus of this talk will be a general overview examining material type and organizational structure in multiple systems. \nBiography: \nChris Cornelius is the Dr. Thomas D. McGee and Dr. Ick-Jhin Rick Yoon Endowed Department Chair in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Iowa State University (ISU). Prior to ISU\, he was a Chemical Engineering faculty member at the University of Connecticut (UCONN) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). At UNL\, he was the Associate Dean for Research (2014-2016) and Mid-America Transportation Center (MATC) Diversity Coordinator (2015-2020). In these roles\, he was involved in hiring 55 new faculty and worked with the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs\, teaching leadership skills and STEM possibilities through a Sovereign Native Youth STEM Leadership Academy and after-school science program. At Virginia Tech (VT)\, he was its inaugural Associate Director for Research (ADR) for the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science (ICTAS)\, managing a $180 MM institute comprised of three research buildings and Technical Director (TD) of the VT Center for Naval Systems (CNavS) from 2008 to 2010. As TD for CNavS\, he won and administered $13 MM Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Naval Surface Warfare Centers\, John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory\, and Marine Corps System Command. Before academia\, he was a Research Engineer with Dow Plastics running a pilot plant creating metallocene-based polyolefins and ethylene-propylene-diene elastomers for DuPont\, a Process Engineer at 3M managing a multimillion-dollar non-woven respirator mask production line\, and a staff scientist at Sandia National Laboratories developing ionomers\, fuel cells\, and gas separation materials. Dr. Cornelius’s research explores fundamental relationships between structure\, properties\, transport\, and function using synthetic polymers\, charged polymers\, hybrid organic-inorganic materials\, and sol-gel-derived inorganic glasses. He is an Editor for the Journal of Materials Science and uses his career experiences to champion diversity and increase the number of underrepresented students in STEM disciplines.

SUMMARY:Meruyert Assylbekova's PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Aluminum Nitride and Scandium-doped Aluminum Nitride materials and devices for beyond 6 GHz communication” \nAbstract: \nWith almost all of the sub-¬6 GHz spectrum now being allocated\, current bandwidth shortage has motivated the exploration of untapped frequencies beyond 6 GHz for future broadband wireless communication. Shift to higher frequency spectra is expected to deliver a significant performance improvement in network capacity\, data rates\, latency\, and coverage. These refinements will enable the development of new life¬changing technologies such as Vehicle to Everything (V2V to V2X)\, ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT)\, and Augmented and Virtual reality (AR and VR). Among a variety of novel 5G applications\, the implementation of 5G mobile broadband imposes especially demanding specifications on Radio Frequency Front¬End (RFFE) architectures. 5G smartphones are expected to carry over the legacy sub-¬6 GHz bands\, which translates into an increased number of filters. In this context\, the first part of this work will introduce lithographically defined Aluminum Nitride (AlN) piezoelectric microacoustic resonators as a promising solution for the implementation of future minituarized adaptive RFFEs. While AlN has been a material of choice for acoustic filters for over two decades\, future technologies are calling for a material with superior piezoelectric strength. It has been shown that the piezoelectric activity of AlN can be enhanced by partially substituting Al with Sc to form AlScN. Thus\, the second part of this work will explore material properties of AlScN along with the challenges that need to be addressed to take full advantage of its piezoelectric and ferroelectric strength. Last\, AlScN resonators and filters will be demonstrated as promising candidates for the future beyond 6GHz technologies. \nCommittee: \nProf. Matteo Rinaldi (advisor) \nProf. Nicol McGruer \nProf. Cristian Cassella

SUMMARY:Sila Deniz Calisgan's PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:“ADVANCEMENTS ON ZERO STANDBY POWER MEMS SENSORS” \nAbstract: \nDue to the fast development of the internet of things\, and unattended wireless sensor networks\, the number of connected devices worldwide is expected to increase exponentially in the future. In order to maintain such large networks of physical and virtual objects\, there is a need for sensors\, actuators and devices with dimensions and power consumption that are orders of magnitude smaller than the state-of-the-art. Currently no existing technology could enable the implementation of large-scale wireless sensor networks in remote locations due to the prohibitive cost associated with installation and maintenance. The fundamental technical challenge lies in the continuous power consumption of state-of-the-art sensor technologies: Commercially available sensors are not smart enough to identify targets of interest without consuming any power and rely on active electronics to detect and discriminate signal of interest. Therefore\, they consume power continuously to monitor the environment even when there is no relevant data to be detected\, which results in a short battery lifetime limited to very few months. This dissertation presents improvements on a new class of zero-power microsystems that fundamentally break the paradigm\, with zero-power consumption\, until awakened by a specific physical signature. This approach is applied to multiple sensing modalities. In particular\, I have experimentally demonstrated zero-power wireless sensors triggered by different physical and chemical quantities such as: infrared radiation; radio frequency signals; acoustic signals and volatile organic chemicals. The capabilities of the zero-power sensors result in a nearly unlimited duration of operation\, with a groundbreaking impact on the proliferation of the internet of things. \n  \nCommittee: \nProf. Matteo Rinaldi (Advisor)Prof. Marilyn MinusProf. Srinivas TadigadapaProf. Zhenyun Qian

SUMMARY:Figuring it out: Student Engagement towards Conceptual Understanding and Disciplinary Practice
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: Milo Korestky\nMcDonnell Family Bridge Professor\nCo-Director\, Institute for Learning on Research and Instruction (IRLI)\nDepartment of Chemical and Biological Engineering\nDepartment of Education\nTufts University \nAbstract: \nThere has been considerable emphasis recently in transitioning chemical engineering classroom instruction from transmission-based lectures to active learning. Active learning has been defined broadly as “anything that you have your students do in class that gets them to actively engage with the material you’re trying to teach.”  This talk focuses on student engagement – that is\, how students take up the challenging and complex work that we ask them to do as they form into professional engineers. I explore fundamental questions about student engagement in the active learning classroom: Engagement in what? Are there different kinds of engagement? I contrast two forms of engagement. The first looks at engagement for conceptual understanding using the Concept Warehouse\, a tool developed around concept-based active learning. The second addresses engagement in disciplinary practices. When engaged in disciplinary practices\, students use the concepts and discourses of engineering to “get somewhere” on an engineering task (develop a product\, gain a better understanding). Neither way is inherently more correct or better\, rather they are representations of learning that might provide useful ways to think about design choices within a certain context. \nBiography: \nMilo Koretsky is the McDonnell Family Bridge Professor and co-Director of the Institute for Research on Learning and Instruction (IRLI) at Tufts University. He holds a joint appointment in Chemical and Biological Engineering and in Education. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from UC San Diego and his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley\, all in Chemical Engineering. He currently has research activity in areas related to engineering education. His group works on integrating technology into effective educational practices that promote the use of higher-level cognitive and social skills in engineering problem-solving and in promoting change towards motivating faculty to use evidence-based instructional practices. A particular focus is on what prevents students from being able to integrate and extend the knowledge developed in specific courses in the core curriculum to the more complex\, authentic problems and projects they face in professional practice. Dr. Koretsky has received recognition through university and international awards and is a Fellow of the American Society of Engineering Education and a Fellow of the Center for Lifelong STEM Education Research.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: John Kasianowicz
DESCRIPTION:Department of Bioengineering Seminar Series  \nJohn Kasianowicz\, Ph.D  \n“Sequencing DNA\, Sizing Polymers\, Identifying Proteins (& More) with Nanometer-Scale Pores”  \nWednesday\, October 19th\, 2022\n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST\n105 Shillman Hall \nABSTRACT: \nBiological nanometer-scale protein pores are the basis of nerve and muscle activity.  With the goal of providing low-cost measurements for health care applications\, we have been adapting several types of nanopores for the detection\, characterization\, and identification of molecules.  For example\, when a single molecule enters a pore\, its physical and chemical properties control both the degree by which it reduces the ionic current that otherwise flows freely and its dwell time there.  Thus far\, our work led to two novel DNA sequencing methods (and a critical assessment of a third technique)1-5\, the ability to discriminate between individual polymers based on their size6\,7\, the means to quantitate protein concentration8\, and a technique for identifying subtly different species of metallo-nanoparticles9.  In addition\, we recently demonstrated that a nanopore can also be used to identify proteins10-13.  This new method could markedly improve healthcare diagnostics and allow more blood analyses to be performed at point-of-care facilities.  We are also investigating the possible use of nanopores as the read head in molecular-based memory storage devices and the role of ion channels in the competition between bacteria.  This ongoing work is a collaborative effort with groups at Columbia University (Jingyue Ju)\, CY Cergy Paris Université (Abdelghani Oukhaled)\, Freiburg University (Jan Behrends)\, and the DoD (Sina Bavari\, Rekha Panchal\, Captain Rick Gussio\, and Colonel Kelly Halverson). \nBIO:   \nDr. Kasianowicz is the Leader of the Nanobiotechnology Project in the Physical Measurement Laboratory at NIST. He earned a Ph.D. in Physiology & Biophysics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook\, a M.A. in Physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook\, and a B.A. in Physics (with Distinction) from Boston University. He was a National Academy of Sciences/ National Research Council Research Associate in the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory at NIST prior to joining the staff and becoming a Leader of the Biomolecular Materials Group. Currently\, John directs the research efforts of staff scientists\, post-doctoral fellows\, and graduate/undergraduate students.  \nJohn pioneered research in five areas: 1) single molecule characterization\, quantification\, and identification; 2) nanopore-based DNA sequencing (he published work in 3 of the 4 methods proposed for this application); 3) elucidating the mechanisms of anthrax toxin action;\, 4) single molecule thermodynamics and kinetics; and 5) development of new methods for membrane protein structure determination. His seminal work in these fields opened other areas of investigation (e.g.\, nanopore-based single molecule force spectroscopy)\, new conferences dedicated to these subjects\, and NIH- and DARPA-based funding initiatives. A range of companies (e.g.\, IBM\, Oxford Nanopore\, Illumina\, Genia Technology (Roche)\, Stratos\, Electronic BioSciences\, and Quantum Biosystems) have been pursuing John’s applied research to develop practical devices for the electronic detection and characterization of individual biological molecules. Several that are using his nanopore-based DNA sequencing technologies are currently valued at $1.8B. His current major foci are the development of nanoscale electronic systems to measure the fundamental properties of single molecules. The work could be applied to storing and retrieving information in molecules\, and simultaneously quantifying many biomarkers (proteins\, DNA\, RNA\, etc.) in single cells\, tissue\, and blood. The latter work would have a marked impact on understanding basic cellular mechanisms and aid the development of quantitative personalized medicine.

SUMMARY:IER Seminar Series: Dr. Monroe Kennedy III
DESCRIPTION:*This event is virtual only* \nZoom: https://northeastern.zoom.us/j/98344781352 \nTitle: DenseTact: Calibrated Optical Tactile Sensing for the Next Generation of Robotic Manipulation \nAbstract: \nRobotic dexterity stands to be the key challenge to making collaborative robots ubiquitous in the home and industry environments\, particularly those that require adaptive systems. The last few decades have produced many solutions in this space that include mechanical transducers (pressure sensors) that while effective usually suffer limitations of the resolution\, cross-talk\, and limited multi-modal sensing at every point. There are passive\, soft sensors that through high friction and form-closure envelope items to be manipulated for stable grasps\, and while often effective at securing a grasp\, such sensors generally do not provide the dexterity needed to re-grasp\, perform finger gaiting or truly quantify the stability of a grasp beyond basic immobilization observed through action. Finally\, optical tactile sensors have presented many new avenues for research\, with leading designs being GelSight and GelSlim for surface reconstruction and force estimation. While optical tactile sensors stand to be robotics best answer so far to sensing sensitivity that approaches anthropomorphic performance\, there is still a noticeable gap in robotics research when it comes to performing manipulation tasks\, with end-to-end solutions struggling to extend to new complex manipulation tasks without significant (and often unscalable) training. \nIn this talk\, I will present DenseTact an optical tactile sensor that provides calibrated surface reconstruction and forces for a single fingertip. This calibrated\, anthropomorphically inspired fingertip design will allow for modularization of the grasping process and open new avenues of research in robotic manipulation towards collaborative robotic applications. \nBio: \nMonroe Kennedy III is an assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering and courtesy of Computer Science at Stanford University. Prof. Kennedy is the recipient of the NSF Faculty Early Career Award. He leads the Assistive Robotics and Manipulation laboratory (arm.stanford.edu)\, which develops collaborative robotic assistants by focusing on combining modeling and control techniques together with machine learning tools. Together\, these techniques will improve robotic performance for tasks that are highly dynamic\, require dexterity\, have considerable complexity\, and require human-robot collaboration. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics and Masters in Robotics at the University of Pennsylvania and was a member of the GRASP Lab.
