SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Cameron Abrams
DESCRIPTION:Molecular Dynamics Investigations of Thermosetting Polymers \nThermosetting polymers comprise a wide variety of monomer constituents and polymerization chemistries that in principle provide the degrees of freedom necessary to tailor these materials to a broad range of applications\, from structural composites\, coatings and barrier materials\, ballistic shielding\, and even solid rocket fuels. In this talk\, I will trace my group’s history in using molecular dynamics simulations to investigate conceptual links among molecular architectures\, intermolecular interactions\, and network structures and how they determine thermomechanical properties of polymerized materials that these applications demand. Highlights in this history include the discovery of the links between crosslink arrangements and protovoid-based toughening; toughening using partially reacted substructures; long-timescale material response through time-temperature superposition; and rationalizing improvements over petrochemically derived monomers using novel bio-based subunits. A consistent theme will be demonstration of how close collaboration with experimental groups allows for simulation predictions to be tested. I will conclude with a presentation of our group’s software package\, HTPolyNet\, that represents the first opensource\, end-to-end generator of all-atom models of network-polymerized monomer mixtures based only on monomer structures\, which should accelerate the community’s use of MD simulation to investigate thermosetting polymers. \n\nCameron F. Abrams is the Bartlett ’81 – Barry ’81 Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Drexel University\, where he has served on the faculty since 2002 and as Department Head since 2017.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Haotian Wang
DESCRIPTION:Electrochemical Approaches to Decarbonizing Fuels and Chemicals \nElectrochemical conversion of atmospheric molecules (CO2\, O2\, H2O\, N2) into fuels and chemicals represents a green and alternative route compared to traditional manufacturing approaches. However\, its practice is currently challenged at two systematic levels: the lack of active\, selective\, and stable electrocatalysts for efficient and reliable chemical bond transformations\, and the lack of novel catalytic reactors for practical reaction rates and efficient product separation. In this talk\, using CO2 reduction to gas and liquid products and O2 reduction to hydrogen peroxide as representative reactions\, I will introduce the rational design of both catalytic materials and reactors towards practical electrochemical manufacturing of fuels and chemicals. \n\nDr. Haotian Wang is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University. He obtained his PhD degree in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University in 2016 and his Bachelor of Science in Physics at the University of Science and Technology of China in 2011. In 2016 he received the Rowland Fellowship and began his independent research career at Harvard as a principal investigator. He was awarded the 2021 Sloan Fellow\, 2020 Packard Fellow\, 2019 CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar\, 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30\, highly cited researchers\, etc. He serves as the editorial board of Communications Materials. His research group has been focused on developing novel nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications including energy storage\, chemical/fuel generation\, and water treatment.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Malika Jeffries-El
DESCRIPTION:Design and Synthesis of Organic Electronic Material \nThe past two decades have seen a dramatic increase in the number of consumer electronics in use. Previously\, most households had a landline phone\, one or two televisions\, and the occasional desktop computer. These days\, most people own numerous electronic devices\, resulting in an increased demand for the semiconducting materials that drive this technology and the energy needed to power them. Accordingly\, there has been a lot of interest in developing organic semiconductors\, as many of the inorganic materials used in these devices are in limited supply. Organic semiconductors are either polymers or small molecules that feature an extended pi-conjugation. These materials possess many exceptional electronic\, optical\, and thermal properties and thus are well-suited for applications such as transistors\, solar cells\, and light-emitting diodes. Unfortunately\, several issues must be addressed before real-life products can be developed. Unfortunately\, several issues must be addressed before real-life products can be developed. Our group focuses on the design and synthesis of new organic semiconductors based on low-cost and/or easily prepared starting materials. Since the properties of organic semiconductors can be readily modified through chemical synthesis\, we have turned our attention towards the design and synthesis of novel aromatic building blocks. Our group developed several new materials\, including wide-band materials for organic light-emitting diodes and narrow-band gap materials for photovoltaic cells. Our recent work will be presented. \n\nDr. Jeffries-El’s research focuses on developing organic semiconductors–materials that combine the processing properties of polymers with the electronic properties of semiconductors. She has authored over 40 peer reviewed publications and has given over 180 lectures globally. She is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society (ACS)\, the Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)\, and the Royal Society of Chemistry.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Kevin Van Geem
DESCRIPTION:Driving Sustainability: Empowering Chemical Engineering for a Net Zero Process Industry \nDue to our increasing awareness of the impact of climate change on our society\, unit operations in our manufacturing processes\, including those in chemical industry\, have to be greenified and made less dependent of fossil resources. One option is to use plastic waste or biomass\, but this is less straightforward than what is generally believed. Additionally there is so-called electrification of the chemical industry. This is still in its infancy but there are many scientific and technological challenges to be solved. These important but far from trivial energy and materials transitions require not only the introduction of new ways of heat management and other\, often not yet fully explored\, chemical conversion processes in which green electrons are used\, but also the development of new materials including large-scale heating coils\, easily chargeable battery systems as well as catalyst materials. For each of these developments\, there is the issue of materials scarcity as well as durability as the introduction of these production processes should also be cost effective and overall more sustainable than the existing ones. \n\nKevin Van Geem is full professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University (UGent). He is director of the Center of Sustainable Chemistry and director of the board of the Laboratory for Chemical Technology of Ghent University. He is CTO of CAPTURE\, an inter-university platform grouping 100 faculty members of different universities with ambition to accelerate radical technological innovations in the field of sustainable resource recovery. His main research interest is reaction engineering in general\, with a focus in particular the transition from fossil to alternative resources such as biomass\, CO/CO2 and plastic waste. He is a former Fulbright Research Scholar of MIT and visiting professor at Stanford. He is in charge of the pilot plants for chemical recycling\, oxidative coupling of methane\, steam cracking\, biomass pyrolysis and super dry reforming. He is the author of more than two hundred scientific publications\, has 3 patents and he is managing director of his own spin-off company on modelling steam cracking. He is involved in electrification\, process intensification\, machine learning & data mining\, drug design\, scale-up and process modelling.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Glenn Gaudette
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Gaudette\, Ph.D. \nJohn W. Kozarich ’71 Chair of the Department of Engineering\, Boston College\, Newton MA \n“Crossing Kingdoms to Develop New Platforms for Tissue Engineering” \nWednesday\, November 10th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nBehrakis 010 \nABSTRACT: \nDevelopment of biomaterials for tissue engineering is challenged by the incorporation of a vascular network\, which is necessary to deliver oxygen\, nutrients\, and essential molecules required for cells to survive. Like humans\, plants have vascular networks. Removing plant cells from spinach leaves\, a technique known as decellularization that was developed for mammalian organs and tissues provides a scaffold with an inherent network of vessels. This scaffold can be seeding with multiple cell types\, including contracting human heart muscle cells and endothelial cells. After decellularization\, the inherent network of vessels remain open and perfusable. Given the vastness of the plant kingdom\, crossing it with the animal biological kingdoms may allow for new biomaterials with multiple applications in tissue engineering and beyond. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nGlenn R. Gaudette\, PhD\, is the inaugural John W. Kozarich ’71 Chair of the Department of Engineering at Boston College. Working together with his colleagues\, they have developed the first Engineering program in the history of BC. His research has pioneered the use of plants as scaffold for heart regeneration. This work lead to significant recognition\, including Prof Gaudette and his colleagues being featured throughout the world including Bill Nye Saves the World (on Netflix)\, CBS’s Innovation Nation\, the BBC (live interview) and Popular Science. The work was displayed at the Centre Pompidou (Paris) as part of an exhibit entitled “The Factory of Life”. Recently\, a children’s book (From Plant to Human: The Extraordinary Spinach-Leaf Heart by Oscar Silver) was published about this inspiring work. His recent research aims to develop cost-effective methods for growing meat in the laboratory setting\, which could reduce our reliance on conventional animal agriculture. Dr. Gaudette is a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and the National Academy of Inventors. \n

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Rebecca Heise
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Heise\, Ph.D. \nAssociate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director\, Department of Biomedical Engineering\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, Richmond VA \n“Breaking Barriers: Evaluating the Alveolar-Capilary Barrier in Lung Injury and Repair” \nWednesday\, October 27th\, 2021 \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST \nBehrakis 010 \nABSTRACT: \nLung injuries such as acute respiratory distress syndrome\, acute lung injury\, or ventilator-associated lung injury cause disruption in the alveolar-capillary barrier leading to edema and lack of gas exchange. The mechanical environment in the lung plays an important role in maintaining this barrier. The constantly moving lung subjects cells to mechanical strain and shear stress during normal breathing. Lung injury\, aging extracellular matrix\, and obstructive pulmonary diseases alter this mechanical environment\, changing the strain\, shear stress\, and stiffness of the pulmonary extracellular matrix. The present talk will discuss how these mechanical changes alter cellular signaling and function focusing on aging alveolar epithelial cells and macrophages in murine ventilator-induced lung injury and the role of extracellular matrix in alveolar epithelial barrier formation. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nDr. Heise is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director of Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). She holds an affiliate appointment in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at VCU and is a member of the Massey Cancer Center and the Johnson Center for Critical Care and Pulmonary Research.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar: The Case for Diversity and Inclusion\, From An Engineer’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Department of Bioengineering  \nSeminar Series  \nKarl W. Reid\, Ed.D.\, CDP   \nSenior Vice Provost and Chief Inclusion Officer\, Northeastern University  “The Case for Diversity and Inclusion\, From An Engineer’s Perspective”  \nBehrakis 010  \nABSTRACT:  \nThis talk makes the case for why diversity and inclusion matter and offers steps to creating more equitable and inclusive campuses and workplaces. \nBIOGRAPHY:  \nDr. Karl W. Reid was appointed Senior Vice Provost and Chief Inclusion Officer at Northeastern University on April  1\, 2021. He also holds the title of Professor of Practice in the Graduate School of Education in the College of  Professional Studies. Prior to joining Northeastern\, Dr. Reid served for seven years as the Executive Director of the  National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)\, marking his return to the organization that gave him his first major leadership experience 32 years earlier. A certified diversity professional\, Dr. Reid has been a leading national advocate for diversity and inclusion\, and increasing college access\, opportunity\, and success for low-income and minority youth. \nDr. Reid came to NSBE from the United Negro College Fund (UNCF)\, where he oversaw new program development\, research\, and capacity building for the organization’s 37 historically black colleges and universities and held the title of Senior Vice President for Research\, Innovation\, and Member College  Engagement. Before his service at UNCF\, he worked in positions of progressive responsibility to increase diversity at his alma mater\, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, which he left as Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Director of the Office of Minority Education. While working at MIT as Director of Engineering Outreach Programs\, Dr. Reid earned his Doctor of Education degree at Harvard University. His dissertation explored the interrelationship of race\, identity\, and academic achievement for African American males in college. He is the author of “Working Smarter\, Not Just Harder: Three Sensible Strategies for  Succeeding in College…and Life.” Dr. Reid is also a founding member of the 50K Coalition\, a national effort to produce 50\,000 diverse engineering graduates annually by 2025. \nDr. Reid was born in the Bronx\, New York\, and grew up in Roosevelt\, New York\, a mostly working-class\, African-American community on Long Island. The high value his parents placed on education\, and his admission to a well-resourced\, magnet high school near Roosevelt\, put him on a track to follow his older brother to MIT\, where he earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees in Materials Science and Engineering and was a Tau Beta Pi Scholar.
