SUMMARY:Tedori-Callinan Lecture: "Resist Fatigue by De-concentrating Stress"
DESCRIPTION:Most materials suffer from a disease: fatigue. Symptoms include degradation of properties and growth of cracks under cyclic stretch. These materials are unfit for applications involving prolonged and cyclic loads. A crack grows in a material because the crack tip concentrates stress. Recently\, we have been developing fatigue-resistant materials by de-concentrating stress\, through mechanisms at either microstructural or molecular scale. This talk describes the mechanics and implementations in materials.

SUMMARY:CIS Seminar:"David V.S. Goliath: the Art of Leaderboarding in the Era of Extreme-Scale Neural Models"
DESCRIPTION:Scale appears to be the winning recipe in today’s leaderboards. And yet\, extreme-scale neural models are still brittle to make errors that are often nonsensical and even counterintuitive. In this talk\, I will argue for the importance of knowledge\, especially commonsense knowledge\, and demonstrate how smaller models developed in academia can still have an edge over larger industry-scale models\, if powered with knowledge. \nFirst\, I will introduce “symbolic knowledge distillation”\, a new framework to distill larger neural language models into smaller commonsense models\, which leads to a machine-authored KB that wins\, for the first time\, over a human-authored KB in all criteria: scale\, accuracy\, and diversity. Next\, I will introduce a new conceptual framework for language-based commonsense moral reasoning\, and discuss how we can teach neural language models about complex social norms and human values\, so that the machine can reason that “helping a friend” is generally a good thing to do\, but “helping a friend spread fake news” is not. Finally\, I will discuss an approach to multimodal script knowledge\, which leads to new SOTA performances on a dozen leaderboards that require grounded\, temporal\, and causal commonsense reasoning.

SUMMARY:CEMB Future Leaders Seminar: "Enhanced matrix stress relaxation promotes cell migration"
DESCRIPTION:Launched in May 2021\, the Future Leaders in Mechanobiology is a monthly seminar series featuring up-and-coming leaders in mechanobiology–PhD students and postdocs from a wide range of fields\, backgrounds\, and institutions. By providing an international stage to share one’s work and opportunities to interact with researchers at all career stages\, we aim to create an inclusive and valuable series for early-stage researchers and the mechanobiology community as a whole. \nRegister HERE for access to the Zoom link and visit the CEMB website for more information.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "The Refinery of Today\, Tomorrow and the Future: A Separations Perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThe hydrocarbon processing industry is in the midst of a major shift in feedstocks\, structure\, and products. Aggressive carbon abatement targets and intrinsic efficiency advantages from electric vehicles strongly undercut the advantages of fossil fuels\, which are the majority product of this industry. However\, the immense value of the existing hydrocarbon infrastructure suggests that fossil feedstocks\, processing\, and products will be the dominant form for quite some time. Existing fossil-based plants with compatible equipment (e.g.\, hydrocrackers) will begin the externality-induced transition over to bio- and e-refinery formats to leverage this valuable existing infrastructure and logistical connections. Advanced separations play a role in this transition in several ways. First\, advanced separations can partner with existing separation units (e.g.\, distillation) to extend the time in which fossil-based processing remains competitive under modern externalities (e.g.\, CO2). \nMoreover\, energy- and capital-efficient separation technologies can mitigate the decrease in returns of energy invested in fossil-based refining\, due to greenhouse gas emission mandates. While bio- and e-refineries are often thought of as a greenfield for advanced separations technologies (thus bypassing the problem of working\, amortized capital in existing plants)\, in fact\, the adaptation of existing fossil-based refineries to renewable feedstocks suggests that the “hybrid” separation system paradigm is likely to be the standard for years to come. Nevertheless\, these “green refineries” introduce many new separations challenges that are likely to be poorly addressed by conventional technologies. Finally\, decades-old regulatory definitions of fuels will continue to promote distillation-centric refinery designs – flexibility in not only these regulations\, but also in end use will pave the way for low energy\, low carbon separation techniques. In this talk\, comments on the future of the refining industry and the role of separations systems in the future will be discussed\, in addition to specific research challenges facing membrane and adsorption technologies.
