SUMMARY:MathWorks Week: Climate\, Energy and the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Join MathWorks engineers and Northeastern faculty for these insightful seminars in Climate Change\, Quantum Computing\, and AI. \n\nClimate\, Energy and the Built Environment\nTuesday\, March 1\, 10:30 am – 11:30 am\nRegister: MathWorksNUSymposiumClimate.eventbrite.com \nInsights of climate changes from the Common Era: an Artificial Intelligence view\nJianghao Wang\, MathWorks \nThe rapid global warming seen in observations over the past 150 years shows nearly global coherence\, the spatiotemporal coherence of climate epochs earlier in the Common Era (the past 2\,000 years)\, however\, has yet to be robustly tested. Understanding how the climate system works and how historical temperature changes shed light on the study of anthropogenic climate change. \nModeling the Stochastic Dynamics of Rotating Wind Turbine Blades\nLuca Caracoglia\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation describes the results of recent research activities\, examining the dynamic modeling of wind turbine blades under the influence of various sources of input error and noise. The presentation will focus on the flutter phenomenon. Flutter is a flow-induced dynamic instability that results from the coupling between flap-wise bending mode and torsional mode of the rotating blade. \nLocating Damage in Structural Systems\nDennis Bernal\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation outlines the basic ideas behind some techniques used to localize damage applicable in cases where the structure is large\, and the number of sensors is small. Visual inspection has been the traditional procedure used to check the condition of structural systems but there is significant interest in devising ways to replace or enhance this approach by incorporating information from sensors.

SUMMARY:Development of micro-magnets for bio-medical applications
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nNora M. Dempsey \nUniv. Grenoble Alpes\, CNRS\, Grenoble INP\, Institut NEEL\, 38000 Grenoble\, France \nAbstract: \nMagnetic flux sources are used to manipulate biological entities (cells\, embryos\, DNA\, proteins…). The magnetic field gradients produced by a flux source scales up as its size is decreased\, resulting in increased force per unit volume. Hard magnetic flux sources are particularly interesting for compact and / or portable applications while the force produced by soft magnetic flux sources on a target object are easily varied.  There is thus great potential for using both hard and soft micro-magnets as flux sources in biology and medicine. \nIn this talk I will briefly review our work on the development and micro-patterning of magnetic films\, in particular Rare Earth – Transition Metal hard magnetic films\, and the low-cost fabrication of micro-magnet arrays based on powder-polymer composites. I will then give examples of bio-medical applications of the micro-magnets we have developed. To wrap up I will discuss potential uses of high intensity pulsed magnetic field sources in bio-medical applications. \nBiography: \nNora Dempsey received her PhD from Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland\, in 1998. Since then she has been based at Institut Néel\, CNRS Grenoble in France. She works on functional magnetic materials\, with an emphasis on hard magnetic materials in film form. These films are used as model systems to guide the development of bulk magnets\, and also to develop micro-magnets for applications in biology\, medicine\, telecommunications and energy management. \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the remote seminar link.

SUMMARY:Open-Shell Molecules: A Radical Design for Organic Optoelectronic Materials
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Mark S. Chen \nAssistant Professor \nDepartment of Chemistry\, Lehigh University \nAbstract: \nOpen-shell molecules possess unpaired electron density (radical character)\, which makes them intriguing candidate materials for many optoelectronic applications. Air-stable structures have been reported\, but most require lengthy synthetic sequences with limited generality. Our lab has developed a concise strategy for rapidly accessing a variety of bisphenalenyls from commercial starting materials. We used this method to synthesize a neutral biradicaloid\, Ph2–s-IDPL\, and several novel heteroatom-substituted\, π-radical cations. One such molecule is O-substituted (Ph2-PCPL)(OTf)\, which displays electrostatically-enhanced\, intermolecular covalent-bonding interactions that impart remarkable charge transport properties. Specifically\, we have discovered that mixing soluble PCPL derivatives with polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) enables the formation of water-processable\, n-type conductive organic films that demonstrate high optical transparency (>94% transmission)\, electrical conductivity (σrt < 117 S/cm)\, and electron mobility (μe < 322 cm2 V-1 s-1). In these composites\, PSS not only serves as a counterion\, but also promotes n-doping and solution-phase aggregation\, which leads to molecular ordering in solid-state. We have also discovered a N-substituted\, red emissive\, π-radical cation [(Ph2-PQPL)(OTf)] that is structurally distinct from all other luminescent radicals\, and achieves rare antiambipolar charge transport in field-effect transistors. N-substituted bisphenalenyls also display self-sensitized and reversible reactivity with dioxygen that shows potential for use in colorimetric oxygen sensors and for on-demand singlet oxygen release. \nBio: \nMark Chen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Lehigh University. He received his B.A. and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard University with M.-Christina White developing catalytic C-H bond oxidation methodologies. As a Dreyfus postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Jean Fréchet at U. C. Berkeley\, he led a team developing polymeric and molecular materials for organic electronic devices. Since coming to Lehigh University\, the Chen Lab has investigated the synthesis of open-shell organic molecules and their application to optoelectronic materials and devices. Mark is the recipient of several awards\, including a Kaufman Foundation New Investigator Award (2015) and NSF CAREER Award (2021). \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the zoom link to attend remotely.
