SUMMARY:Women in Engineering at Northeastern
DESCRIPTION:Women in Engineering (WIE) at Northeastern College of Engineering (CoE)\, in collaboration with the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) Departments\, ECE PhD Student Association (EPSA) and MIE Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) student groups\, is hosting a special gathering for female-identifying PhD students\, postdocs\, and faculty from the ECE and MIE departments. The purpose of this event is to check in with our students\, hear their thoughts and concerns\, and ensure they feel supported—not only to strengthen their sense of belonging but also to equip them with the necessary skills for their future careers. \nThe gathering will take place on Monday\, October 7th\, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm at the Curry Student Center Ballroom\, with lunch provided. \nTo better understand the experiences\, motivations\, and challenges faced by female-identifying PhD students and Postdocs at Northeastern University in the MIE and ECE departments\, we’ve prepared the following questions\, which will be answered anonymously: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd64OWZK3yxEQmzmn3yCXNYJyBi5GaiarxGJjUnTKWKtBFUTg/viewform?usp=sf_link \nYour feedback will play a crucial role in shaping college programming\, departmental support\, and potential admissions changes to better support female-identifying and non-binary individuals in the College of Engineering. While the survey is focused on driving meaningful changes within the CoE\, some areas\, like university-wide policies\, may be beyond its direct influence. Nonetheless\, your input will contribute to broader discussions and advocacy efforts across the university. We will report the cumulative results of this survey to your departments\, COE\, as well as Northeastern University.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Sujit Datta
DESCRIPTION:Life in a tight spot: Spying on bacteria in complex spaces \nLocation: Snell Engineering Center 168 \nAbstract: Bacteria are arguably the simplest form of life; and yet\, as multi-cellular collectives\, they perform complex functions critical to environment\, food\, health\, and industry. What principles govern how complex behaviors emerge in bacterial collectives? And how can we harness them to control bacterial behavior? In this talk\, I will describe my group’s work addressing this question using tools from soft matter engineering\, 3D imaging\, and biophysical modeling. We have developed the ability to (i) directly visualize bacteria from the scale of a single cell to that of an entire multi-cellular collective\, (ii) 3D-print precisely structured collectives\, and (iii) model their large-scale motion and growth in complex environments. I will describe how\, using this approach\, we are developing new ways to predict and control how bacterial collectives — and potentially other forms of “active matter” — spread large distances\, adapt shape to resist perturbations\, and self-regulate growth to access more space by processing chemical information in their local environments. \n\nSujit Datta is a Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Bioengineering\, and Biophysics at Caltech. Prior\, he was at Princeton University\, where he started his faculty career in 2017 and was promoted to Associate Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering in 2022. \nSujit earned a BA in Mathematics and Physics and an MS in Physics in 2008 from the University of Pennsylvania\, and then a PhD in Physics in 2013 from Harvard\, where he studied fluid dynamics and instabilities in soft and disordered media with Dave Weitz. His postdoctoral training was in Chemical Engineering at Caltech\, where he studied the biophysics of the gut with Rustem Ismagilov. \nThe Datta Lab studies the dynamics\, self-organization\, and applications of complex\, soft (“squishy”)\, and living systems\, with a focus on complex fluids\, gels\, and bacterial communities/active matter\, motivated by challenges in biotechnology\, energy\, environment\, and medicine. Their work integrates microscopy\, microfluidics\, materials science\, and biophysical characterization with theoretical & computational modeling\, applying ideas from fluid and solid mechanics\, colloidal science\, polymer physics\, statistical mechanics\, and network science. Altogether\, this research program has revealed and shed new light on the fascinating behaviors manifested by complex fluids and bacterial populations in complex environments\, guiding the development of new approaches to environmental remediation\, energy production\, agriculture\, water security\, and biotechnology. \nSujit’s scholarship has been recognized by awards from a broad range of different communities\, reflecting its multidisciplinary nature\, including through the AIChE Allan P. Colburn and 35 Under 35 Awards\, three awards from the APS (Early Career Award in Biological Physics\, Andreas Acrivos Award in Fluid Dynamics\, and Apker Award)\, Pew Biomedical Scholar Award\, Society of Rheology Arthur Metzner Award\, ACS Unilever Award\, Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award\, NSF CAREER Award\, and multiple commendations for teaching. In addition to leading professional activities for a number of scientific societies and agencies\, Sujit serves on the editorial boards of Annual Reviews of Condensed Matter Physics and the Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Matthew J. Eckleman
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability in the Chemicals Sector: From Green Synthesis to Global Systems\nLocation: 305 Shillman Hall \nAbstract: The chemicals sector is undergoing a transformation driven by decarbonization\, shifting feedstocks\, circularity\, and increasing demand for low-carbon\, non-toxic products. Globally\, chemicals production is responsible for approximately 5% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions\, stemming from fuel combustion\, process emissions\, and product use. A wide variety of new technologies are being proposed to decarbonize chemicals manufacturing\, but in many cases their environmental benefits are not obvious and they could even have the potential to degrade other aspects of environmental quality. Robust environmental assessment of energy use\, resource inputs\, and emissions over the entire chemicals life cycle is essential for to ensure that proposed green technologies will actually deliver promised environmental benefits. \nTo aid in this\, life cycle assessment (LCA)\, techno-economic analysis (TEA)\, and related tools are increasingly being used in regulation\, certification\, and corporate decision-making. For example\, US biofuels must meet a life cycle greenhouse gas emissions reduction target to be qualified as a renewable fuel\, including emissions from production of chemical inputs that can drive overall results. \nThis seminar will present several LCA-based sustainability modeling projects in the chemicals industry\, from single green syntheses to analysis of technology at the global systems scale. Case studies will include bio-based feedstocks\, decarbonization efforts in pharmaceuticals and medicines\, low-carbon fuels\, and electrochemical synthesis techniques. \n\nMatthew Eckelman is an Associate Professor of civil and environmental engineering and affiliated faculty in chemical engineering at Northeastern\, and adjunct Associate Professor at Yale School of Public Health. His research focuses on process simulation and life cycle assessment for industrial manufacturing\, including primary metals\, commodity and fine chemicals\, pharmaceuticals\, bio- and nano-materials. Dr. Eckelman worked previously for the Massachusetts executive office of environmental affairs and consults regularly on sustainability-related projects for industrial companies and non-profit institutions. He was awarded an NSF CAREER award in environmental sustainability in 2015 and is a member of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change. He holds a PhD in Chemical and Environmental Engineering from Yale\, where he was affiliated with the Center for Industrial Ecology and the Center for Green Chemistry and Engineering.

SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Ronodeep Mitra
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nRonodeep Mitra \nTitle: \nGlycocalyx Therapy to Restore Anti-Atherosclerotic Endothelial Cell Function \nDate:\n9/11/2024 \nTime:\n9:00:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Eno Ebong (Advisor)\nProf. Mansoor Amiji\nProf. Rebecca Carrier\nProf. Arthur J. Coury\nProf. Jessica M. Oakes \nLocation:\nEXP 610 and Zoom \nAbstract:\nThe endothelial cell (EC) glycocalyx (GCX) is a negatively charged complex sugar-rich layer that lines the endothelium. It is an important contributor to the physical and biochemical health of the vasculature and endothelium\, while mediating mechanotransduction and vascular signaling. For example\, when exposed to physiological (unidirectional and uniform in magnitude) levels of shear stress from the mechanical force of blood flow\, the GCX is abundant and aids in the production of vasodilator nitric oxide (NO)\, which regulates vascular tone. Furthermore\, the dynamics of the flow-regulated GCX determine the structural integrity of connexin proteins that comprises interendothelial gap junctions and control the flow of communication between neighboring ECs. Finally\, the GCX acts as a physical barrier to numerous components in circulating blood\, including low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and inflammatory cells such as monocytes that differentiate into macrophages and platelets. \nLoss of the EC GCX can be attributed to disturbed vasculature blood flow patterns. This condition renders the endothelium as adhesive and permeable\, resulting in infiltration of the vessel walls by blood circulating LDLs\, compromising active EC-EC communication via interendothelial gap junctions\, and reduction in NO production\, leading to vasoconstriction. These phenotypes lead to vascular dysfunction\, atherosclerosis\, and other serious secondary cardiovascular events\, such as myocardial infarctions and strokes. Hence\, we propose either repurposing therapies that were\nnot originally indicated for GCX therapy or the development of novel GCX therapies and hypothesize that targeting the EC GCX will restore vascular function and prevent further downstream cardiovascular events\, such as atherosclerosis. \nWe first tested our hypothesis by assessing the efficacy of repurposing diosmin\, a flavanone glycoside of diosmetin\, which is a nutraceutical used to currently treat chronic venous insufficiency. Previous studies have shown diosmin’s potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties on the endothelium. Hence\, we wanted to determine if diosmin would repair mechanically damaged endothelial GCX in regions of disturbed flow (DF) patterns and restore anti-atherosclerotic endothelium mechanotransduction function. For this study\, we utilized a unique murine in vivo DF model\, where the left carotid artery (LCA) is partially ligated\, while the right carotid artery (RCA) is not surgically intervened and was the designated uniform flow (UF) control for each mouse. Diosmin treatment elevated activated endothelial NO synthase level (p-eNOS)\, inhibited inflammatory cell uptake\, decreased vessel wall thickness and increased vessel diameter\, and increased GCX coverage on the endothelium in ligated LCA. This corroborated support that diosmin protects endothelial GCX integrity and preserves complex endothelial function. \nNext\, in vitro and in vivo DF models were used to assess a novel therapy\, combining sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)\, a bioactive lipid mediator\, and heparin in regenerating the endothelial GCX. We used a parallel-plate flow chamber to simulate flow conditions in vitro on human coronary arterial endothelial cells (HCAECs) and a partial carotid ligation murine model to mimic DF in vivo\, as mentioned above. In vitro data showed that heparin/S1P therapy improved the function of DF-conditioned ECs by restoring the GCX and promoting EC alignment and elevated p-eNOS expression. Furthermore\, heparin/S1P treatment restored GCX in the LCA\, enhancing GCX thickness and coverage of the blood vessel wall and reducing vessel wall thickness\, demonstrating advances in a novel therapeutic that regenerates EC GCX and restores complex vascular function in DF conditions. \nThis research work is an excellent step towards the development of repurposed or novel therapeutics that can be applied to replace\, stabilize\, or protect the GCX and restore GCX-mediated EC mechanotransduction\, particularly in DF conditions. These prospective mechano-therapeutics could represent breakthrough solutions for preventing cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis in the future.

SUMMARY:Rajiv Singh PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nRajiv Singh \nTitle:\nInterpolation and Convexification Methods for Tractable Learning of Dynamic Systems \nDate:\n9/9/2024 \nTime:\n9:00:00 AM \nLocation: https://northeastern.zoom.us/j/97729968899?pwd=WfExrC0k60ocNpzCrkJXK3HyJDptMK.1 \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Mario Sznaier (Advisor) \nProf. Lennart Ljung \nProf. Octavia Camps\,\nProf. Stratis Ioannidis \nAbstract:\nIn this thesis\, we present interpolation and convexification based system identification techniques that are geared towards producing\, practical\, engineering-friendly models. The models are either linear\, or close to being linear – they are either weakly nonlinear\, are described by a switching among linear models\, or linear models whose parameters are allowed to depend upon certain states or inputs or the system. A common objective in all the proposed approaches is to determine the lowest-order models that are consistent with the information available in the form of data and available priors. We leverage ideas from the rational interpolation community in order to create tractable algorithms that are efficient and often scale well with the amount of data. In addition\, we present control-oriented learning methods extend the basic approaches by directly incorporating the closed-loop objectives. The resulting models are self-certified in that they produce certificates of guaranteed closed-loop behavior. \nA summary of the essential ideas presented in this thesis follows next.\n1. Using the rank-revealing properties of Loewner and Hankel matrices\, we develop a convex algorithm for identification of low order stable transfer functions using time and frequency domain data. This results are guaranteed to meet prescribed worst case bounds. \n2. We propose a set of techniques geared towards control-oriented identification of potentially unstable linear models using open-loop data. These models come with a certification of robust stabilizability which greatly aids the control design procedure. The first technique leverages the concept of coprime factors of a linear system while the second technique uses robust identification of a system’s predictor as a vehicle towards identification of the plant model. The latter technique also directly incorporates the closed-loop objective of νgap minimization into the identification procedure. \n3. We present convex approaches to identification of nonlinear polynomial models with time-varying coefficients. The model coefficients evolution is governed by scheduling maps that are described by low-order linear differential equations. A first approach uses a Hankel matrix rank minimization technique towards a joint identification of the model’s parameters and the scheduling map. A second approach leverages the atomic norm minimization framework to extend the first approach to bilinear systems\, and also support easy incorporation of scheduling priors. \n4. We present some results regarding sparse identification of Nonlinear ARX models incorporating bounded nonlinear maps. We present approaches to achieve sparsity with respect to the number of regressors used\, and with respect to the maximum lag employed by any of the contributing regressors. The proposed algorithm leverages ideas from sparse learning and ensemble learning for sparse NARX models. \n5. We present a new framework for identification of switched linear and parameter-varying systems based on rational interpolation. We develop multivariate interpolation procedures based on the recent “block-AAA” algorithms. We demonstrate that this modeling framework leads to fast\, accurate\, and scalable algorithms that can be used in various settings where the data domain is described by correlations\, frequency\, or scheduling variables.
