SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Spring Seminar Series: Leslie Shor
DESCRIPTION:The “Root” of the Nexus: Soil-Based Biotechnology for a Sustainable Future \nThe function of any biological system depends on local environmental conditions. For bacterial systems\, micro-scale structures including the chemical properties and physical topography of surfaces\, micro-scale chemical gradients\, and patterns of biological distribution impact the diversity\, abundance\, and activity of microbial communities. However\, conventional microbial culture systems do not faithfully emulate microbial habitats; thus\, also cannot reflect realistic functionality of microbial systems. The Shor lab designs\, builds\, and operates emulated microbial habitats to better understand microbial system function. Recent applications include soil-emulating micromodels to accelerate the development of agriculture biotechnology. Emulated soil micromodels (ESMs) systematically replicate physical\, chemical\, and biological features while at the same time enabling direct\, real-time observation of biological responses. ESMs enable systematic hypothesis-driven research of rhizosphere processes and make the development of agriculture biotechnology less time-consuming\, expensive\, and difficult. Our work has shown that the microbe-extracellular matrix system in porous media can double evaporative resistance and dramatically improve system resiliency\, but this functionality is only realized in realistic pore-scale geometries. We have also used ESMs to screen microbes for sustainable agriculture applications and shown viable performance in subsequent full-scale testing. With the loom of climate change and its increasing demands on our water and food systems\, there will be rapidly-increasing demand for more productive and cost-effective sustainable agriculture technology\, including food production technology that also provides reliable and safe terrestrial carbon sequestration. This talk will illustrate how fundamental chemical engineering concepts and methods applied to soils can make important contributions towards a more sustainable future. \n\nLeslie Shor mentors an interdisciplinary team working at the intersection of chemical engineering\, microbiology\, and advanced manufacturing. The focus of her research work is developing biotechnology based on soil microbes to enhance sustainable food production.\nShe is the PI of an EFRI project on separation and elimination of microplastics from treated wastewater effluent. She is active in education\, mentoring\, and outreach initiatives aimed at increasing diversity in STEM and enhancing human welfare through high-tech innovation. Shor earned her BA in Environmental Sciences and Chemistry (double-major) from the University of Virginia\, and her PhD in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from Rutgers University. Prior to coming to UConn\, she was a research assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. In 2018 she spent six months at the University of Adelaide in South Australia as a visiting faculty member in the School of Chemical Engineering.

SUMMARY:Ignorance Is Bliss: A Career Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:  \nDean Gregory D. Abowd will present his SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award Acceptance Lecture \nDate: Tues.\, June 13\, 2023 \nTime: 5:30 to 7:15 PM\, reception following Dean Abowd’s talk \nPlace: In-Person and Livestream\nBostonCHI meeting at Northeastern University in ISEC Auditorium (102 ISEC)\, and reception in ISEC Atrium \nRegistration is appreciated but not required. View BostonCHI for more information. \nPresentation Abstract: In 1988\, as a graduate student grappling to find a research identity\, Gregory D. Abowd accidentally discovered the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). Over the past 35 years\, he pursued a passion for applying the tools and techniques of computing to uncover how the human experience with technology can be understood and transformed. That leap into HCI was just the first of a number of leaps of faith. Abowd’s career has been a series of shifting research agendas\, each one inspired by some life events. In all cases\, he was buoyed by a bevy of talented and supportive colleagues\, advisors and advisees alike\, who gave him the courage to jump into a research topic that he didn’t know much about. That “ignorance” has allowed him to be more fearless than he had the right to be. In this talk\, Abowd will reflect on his professional journey\, hoping to inspire others to dispel fear of the unknown and unlock their potential. Life\, like research\, is best when shared with others whom you can respect and befriend. \n—————————————— \nGregory D. Abowd\, dean of the College of Engineering and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northeastern University\, has received the Lifetime Research Award from the Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). The award is presented to individuals for “the best\, most fundamental\, and influential research contributions to the study of human-computer interaction (HCI)” and is awarded for a lifetime of innovation and leadership. \n

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Anticipating The Future Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Gerald E. BuckwalterChief Operating and Strategy Officer\,American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) \nIn celebration of National Engineers Week\, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University will host American Society of Civil Engineers Chief Operating and Strategy Officer Gerald Buckwalter for a Distinguished Seminar. \nThis event is brought to you in partnership with the Boston Association of Structural Engineers (BASE)\, Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (BSCES)\, and the Structural Engineers Association of Massachusetts (SEAMASS). \nThis seminar takes place in 102 Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC)\, located at 805 Columbus Avenue\, Boston\, MA 02120\, a short walk from the Ruggles Orange Line station. \nAnticipating the Future Built Environment \nABSTRACT: From climate change to autonomous vehicles\, engineers are confronting a variety of environmental challenges\, demographic shifts and technological changes that will require a drastic rethinking of how we build\, operate\, and maintain our infrastructure systems. Planning for the future is difficult for nearly every organization. ASCE decided to launch the Future World Vision project to help meet this challenge. We compiled and winnowed more than 100 global macrotrends to examine six important sociopolitical\, economic\, environmental\, and technological trends as key drivers of change for future built infrastructure. Our desire is that the Future World Vision project will establish ASCE and civil engineers as bold thought leaders\, provide a platform to envision the future built environment and ultimately optimize future system performance and the benefit to society\, and be a next-generation tool that interacts and resonates with those who will create the future built environment—the next generation of civil engineers. The Future World Vision platform is an immersive computer model\, using gaming engines\, that will create virtual future worlds with evocative visuals\, multiple characters and rich narratives that explore holistic city\, community and neighborhood systems\, including the cultural\, social\, economic\, political\, ethical and environmental aspects at different scales. This platform will enable engineers to ask the right questions about a future built environment that doesn’t exist yet\, contemplate solutions\, postulate the resulting benefit to society – well in advance of starting to design those solutions. This will enable us to better prepare engineers today for possible future needs and challenges. \nBIO: Gerald (Jerry) E. Buckwalter has more than 35 years of varied executive leadership in general management\, business development\, strategy and innovation\, program operations and policy development spanning military\, government\, international\, and commercial domains. He is the Chief Operating and Strategy Officer of ASCE\, overseeing all aspects of internal operations including Finance\, Administration\, Engineering\, Lifelong Learning\, and Human Resources. Prior to joining ASCE\, Mr. Buckwalter was a Northrop Grumman Corporate Director of Strategy. His responsibilities included reshaping the company’s business portfolio\, mergers and acquisitions\, long-term strategies\, innovation initiatives\, and professional development. Among many distinguished service positions\, Mr. Buckwalter was a member of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council reporting to the White House from 2008 to 2012. Mr. Buckwalter earned a degree in Physics from Monmouth University and has extensive continuing education at George Washington University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
