SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Leveraging Unsteady Flows for Enhanced Performance in Wind-Energy Systems"
DESCRIPTION:Wind energy is poised to play a considerable role in the global transition to clean-energy technologies within the next few decades. Modern wind turbines\, like aircraft and other aerodynamic structures\, are typically designed with the assumption that the flows they encounter will be uniform and steady. However\, atmospheric flows are highly unsteady\, and systems operating within them must contend with gust disturbances that can lead to performance losses and structural damage. Therefore\, the next generation of wind-energy systems requires physics-informed design principles that effectively account for and even leverage these unsteady flow phenomena for enhanced power generation\, robustness\, and operational longevity. Accordingly\, this talk presents experimental and analytical efforts to characterize unsteady aerodynamics in wind-turbine contexts. First\, we study the effects of unsteady streamwise motion on turbine performance\, as recent work has suggested that these dynamics may enable time-averaged efficiencies that exceed the steady-flow Betz limit on turbine efficiency. The power production of and flow around a periodically surging wind turbine are thus investigated using experiments and analytical modeling\, which suggest that floating offshore wind turbines could leverage unsteady surge motions for power-production gains of up to 6% over the stationary case. Additionally\, field measurements in the wakes of full-scale vertical-axis wind turbines using artificial snow as tracer particles yield insights into the contributions of unsteady vortex dynamics to the performance of turbines in wind-farm arrays. These investigations provide the analytical and experimental foundations for future studies of unsteady atmospheric flows\, which will lead to the development of principles and techniques for wind-farm siting\, control\, and optimization.

SUMMARY:ESE Spring Seminar - "In pursuit of entanglement: XXZ interactions for spin-squeezing in atomic and solid-state spin ensembles"
DESCRIPTION:Controlling many-body entanglement promises to yield both fundamental insights and practical advances. In particular\, generating squeezed states for entanglement-enhanced metrology is an important near-term application of quantum systems. In past work\, squeezing has been achieved in a clean\, controlled setting using all-to-all Ising interactions between ultracold atoms in an optical cavity. By contrast\, optically-addressable spin defects in solids\, such as the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond\, are far more practical and versatile sensors\, but it is not known whether the requisite ingredients for generating and detecting squeezing are attainable in this platform. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss two complementary approaches for generating squeezed states using XXZ interactions. The first approach centers around a cavity QED platform designed to realize programmable\, nonlocal spin-spin couplings. Specifically\, we implement an all-to-all XXZ Hamiltonian with tunable anisotropy\, strength\, and sign. Images of the resulting magnetization dynamics show that XXZ interactions protect spin coherence against spatial inhomogeneities\, which may enhance the robustness of future spin-squeezing protocols. \nThe robustness of the XXZ model against disorder opens the door to squeezing via long-range dipolar interactions within an ensemble of spin defects in diamond\, for which we identify and achieve the key required ingredients: (i) a theory that elucidates if and how power-law XXZ interactions generate squeezing; (ii) a two-dimensional ensemble of strongly-interacting\, optically-polarizable spins; (iii) methods for detecting squeezing despite significant technical noise.

SUMMARY:CIS Seminar: "Secure Computation with Minimal Interaction"
DESCRIPTION:In the current digital and decentralized world\, there is an imminent need for technologies that can provide a fast approach to compute on private data while guaranteeing secrecy. Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) is one such cryptographic technology that provides an efficient approach to compute on private data. At a high level\, MPC is a distributed computation protocol that allows a set of mutually distrusting parties to compute a joint function on their private inputs while only leaking the output and hiding everything else. \nAny distributed computation protocol typically involves multiple rounds of back-and-forth interaction between the parties. A key question that is of both theoretical and practical importance is to minimize the number of rounds of such interaction to its absolute limit. This is the problem of constructing round-optimal MPC protocols. \nIn this talk\, I will describe new techniques to construct such round-optimal protocols. These techniques have been instrumental in resolving several long-standing open problems in the area and have also opened up the possibility of constructing practically efficient round-optimal protocols.

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 GRASP SFI: Jinwei Ye\, George Mason University\, "Seeing 3D with Polarized Light"
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week’s presenter will be in-person as well. \nABSTRACT\nPolarization is a fundamental property of light that describes the direction in which the electric field of light oscillates. Polarization\, as an intrinsic property of light\, provides an extra dimension of information for probing the physical world. Many insects can see and make use of polarized light. For example\, bumble bees use the sky’s polarization pattern for fast navigation. However\, the polarization of light is often overlooked in computer vision as human eyes do not have such sensitivity. In this talk\, I will talk about the principles of polarization sensing and the modeling of polarimetric appearance. I will showcase several polarimetric imaging solutions for performing high quality 3D reconstruction in challenging scenes. I will also demonstrate their applications in robotic sensing.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: "Developing Strategies for Polymer Redesign and Recycling Using Reaction Pathway Analysis" (Linda Broadbelt\, Northwestern University)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe current lack of sustainability of and the limited portfolio of recycling processes for synthetic polymers have posed serious threats to the environment. Using reaction pathway analysis\, we are pursuing a portfolio of strategies for redesign and recycling of polymers for sustainability. Pyrolysis is a promising method for resource recovery from plastic waste that is compatible with current petrochemical infrastructure that thermally converts polymers in the absence of oxygen into valuable chemical feedstocks and monomer. To provide further insight into polymer pyrolysis\, a greater understanding of the mechanistic and kinetic details of the underlying reaction network is needed. To handle the complexity of mechanistic modeling of polymer degradation\, we have developed both continuum and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) models. Alternatively\, redesign efforts focusing on polymers that can be reused and recycled to monomers can lead to sustainable solutions for the plastics waste problem. One pathway to success is to identify bioprivileged molecules\, biology-derived chemical intermediates that can be efficiently converted to a diversity of chemical products\, including both novel molecules and drop-in replacements\, and molecules emanating from them that can be used as monomers leading to recyclable polymers. We have developed a framework for molecule discovery and reaction pathway design that is automated and flexible and can be used to screen for bioprivileged candidates and target molecules. The application to discovery of known and novel monomers for poly(hydroxyurethanes) that are derived from biobased molecules and lead to recyclable materials will be discussed\, and computational methods to evaluate the recyclability of different polymers will be outlined. \n  \nBio: \nLinda Broadbelt is Sarah Rebecca Roland Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (ChBE) and Associate Dean for Graduate Research and Education of Engineering at Northwestern University. She was Chair of the Department of ChBE from 2009-2017.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Mechanics for Energy Sustainability: From Fatigue of 2D Materials to Dendrites in Solid-state Batteries"
DESCRIPTION:Achieving energy sustainability requires efforts from not only sourcing clean energy\, but also storing and dispatching energy whenever and wherever needed\, as well as being energy-efficient whenever possible. Two-dimensional (2D) materials hold great promises as mechanical reinforcement in high strength-to-weight ratio structural materials and as next-generation energy-efficient electronic materials\, both of which contribute to less energy consumption with improved performance. Among energy-storage technologies\, solid-state batteries (SSB) are particularly attractive due to potentially higher energy density and safer non-flammable solid electrolytes compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries. However\, both 2D materials and components of SSB are often exposed to static and dynamic mechanical stresses\, posing critical challenges towards their wide applications. The first part of the talk will discuss the mechanical fatigue behavior of 2D materials and their interfaces\, reveal their unconventional failure mechanisms\, and propose practical strategies to improve their mechanical reliability. The second part will focus on the lithium dendrite issues in SSB and discuss the coupled electro-chemo-mechanical effect in the failure of a garnet solid electrolyte. Through in-situ FIB/SEM experiments\, the critical role of stress in regulating the failure of SSB during fast charging is revealed.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: "Design of Stable Nanocrystalline Alloys: Thermodynamics\, Computation\, and Data Science" (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
DESCRIPTION:Over the last three decades\, nanocrystalline alloys (polycrystals with grain sizes of less than 100 nm) have been shown to exhibit superior material properties\, such as enhanced specific strength\, hardness\, wear resistance\, radiation resistance\, and magnetic properties. However\, such structures are inherently thermodynamically unstable; a nanocrystalline configuration comes with a large volume fraction of high-energy bearing defects that introduce a large excess of energy in the structure. The key route to overcome this limitation and thermodynamically stabilize nanocrystalline metals against grain growth is through intentional alloying for grain boundary segregation. To date\, the standard approach to designing and screening for nanocrystalline stability uses a highly simplified model in which grain boundary networks are treated as a “single” entity\, and the tendency of solute atoms to segregate at those boundaries is quantified by an “averaged” value. This simplification\, however\, ignores the fact that grain boundaries in polycrystals have a vast range of local atomic environments that can attract or repel solute atoms to different degrees. In this talk\, I will review our recent efforts to tackle this simplification by developing thermodynamic\, computational\, and data science frameworks to (i) thoroughly understand the phenomenon of grain boundary segregation at the atomistic scale\, (ii) develop comprehensive segregation databases for hundreds of substitutional alloys\, and (iii) leverage that knowledge and data into developing rigorous design and screening criteria for nanocrystalline alloys that take into account the spectrality of the grain boundary network.

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: Jitendra Malik\, University of California at Berkeley\, "Robots that Learn and Adapt"
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week’s presenter will be in-person as well.  \n  \nABSTRACT\nDeep learning has resulted in remarkable breakthroughs in fields such as speech recognition\, computer vision\, natural language processing\, and protein structure prediction. Robotics has proved to be much more challenging as there are no pre-existing repositories of behavior to draw upon; rather the robot has to learn from its own trial and error in its own specific body\, and it has to generalize and adapt. To make this feasible\, we have developed “Rapid Motor Adaptation”\, a novel technique for adaptive control in the framework of deep reinforcement learning. Using this\, we can train robots in simulation and then transfer the skills directly to robots in the real world. I will show multiple examples – quadruped legged locomotion\, biped locomotion\, in-hand rotation\, flying quadcopters – of the success of this approach. I will also show examples of life-long learning in robotics\, by continuous adaptation of perception and action in deployed systems.
