Epstein Seminar: Yayue Pan (University of Illinois at Chicago) - Multi-functional Additive Manufacturing of Smart Materials and Devices
Tue, Sep 07, 2021 @ 03:30 PM - 04:50 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Yayue Pan, University of Illinois at Chicago
Talk Title: Multi-functional Additive Manufacturing of Smart Materials and Devices
Series: Epstein Institute Seminar
Abstract: By combining various materials that serve mechanical, electrical, chemical, thermal, and/or optical functions into a component with locally controlled distributions, we can produce composites and multi-material objects with a higher degree of functionality than would normally be found in a pure material part. In addition to material combination, by integrating hierarchial surface structures with dimensions spanning from nanoscale to macroscale, superior functions can be engineered and integrated into the component. However, to manufacture such multi-material multi-scale components directly out of a digital model without assembly, grand challenges still exist in material distribution and localized material phase control. In this talk, I will present our recent research in addressing these manufacturing challenges by integrating external fields in varied additive manufacturing processes. First, I will introduce external field assisted projection stereolithography technologies for productions of functional particle-polymer objects with hierarchical surface structures. After that, I will present a electrowetting-assisted direct ink writing technology for productions of conductive patterns on rough substrates at meters per second speeds for energy related applications. More energy related applications will be presented with a self-binding selective laser sintering method. In these additive manufacturing processes, I will discuss the effectiveness of integrations of external fields on controlling local material distributions and combining multiple materials. Applications of the 3D printed multi-functional materials and components in soft robotics, electronics packaging, and energy storage will be demonstrated.
More Info: Please email owh@usc.edu for Zoom Link
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.
Biography: Dr. Yayue Pan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Her research focuses on multi-material and multi-functional Additive Manufacturing processes for applications in anisotropic composites, sensing and actuating devices, energy management and storage. Dr. Pan holds a Ph.D. degree from the University of Southern California. Some of her recent awards include Outstanding Paper Award in 41st SME NAMRC conference, 2017 SME Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award, 2017 UIC College of Engineering Faculty Research Award, 2020 ASME CIE TC Leadership Award, and several awards from National Science Foundation of United States.

AME Seminar
Wed, Sep 08, 2021 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Tirtha Banerjee, UC Irvine
Talk Title: TBD
Abstract: The traditional motivation behind studying the dynamics of turbulent wind flow in vegetation canopies has been to understand the nature of mass, momentum and energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere. The nature of this interaction determines the microclimate in a forest environment where plants exchange carbon and water and its understanding is relevant for a plethora of applications ranging from ecology, hydrology, agriculture and the modeling of weather and climate. However, the fundamental nature of turbulence in a vegetation canopy is significantly different from the atmospheric surface layer lying above, which means that scaling laws and exchange coefficients from traditional wall bounded flows are not applicable. In a forest canopy, momentum absorption happens not only at the ground surface but throughout the depth of the canopy, resulting in a unique roughness sub layer. Instead of a log-layer, the mean velocity profile is inflected, second order moments are variable with height and skewnesses are large. Large scale coherent structures impart significant impact on the turbulence dynamics. Sweeping motions arising out of downdraft motions of counter-rotating vortices dominate eddy fluxes. A mixing layer model is found to be a better model for describing canopy flows. High frequency measurements and computational fluid dynamics modeling, especially Large Eddy Simulations (LES) has been instrumental in revealing the nature of canopy turbulence in the last few decades. Now this knowledge is being used to push the frontiers of our limited understanding of how wildland fires behave. The main controls on wildland fire behavior -“ fuel (canopy and grasslands), weather and topography are strongly influenced by fine scale physics of canopy turbulence. We will demonstrate that further developments in the understanding of canopy turbulence can benefit wildfire modeling tools and developing actionable management strategies.
Biography: Tirtha Banerjee is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Irvine. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Jadavpur University, Calcutta, India in 2011. During his undergraduate studies, he conducted research in the areas of structural dynamics and Aerospace Engineering in India and Germany as a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Fellow. Upon completion of his undergraduate studies in 2011, he moved to the U.S. and joined Duke University in Durham, NC, as a Ph.D. student and conducted theoretical, numerical and experimental studies involving environmental fluid dynamics and turbulent flows. He received his Ph.D. in 2015 and joined the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany for postdoctoral research in atmospheric boundary layer dynamics. He relocated to the U.S. in early 2017 to join the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico and started working on wildfires, ecosystem disturbance as well as wind energy resources. At LANL he received a Chick Keller Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2017 and a Directors Fellowship in 2018. He joined UC Irvine in fall 2019. Research in the Boundary Layers and Turbulence Lab led by Banerjee studies mass, momentum and energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere using a range of theoretical, numerical and experimental techniques. He currently serves as an associate editor of the journal Earth Systems and Environment (Springer) and as an editorial board member of the journal Agricultural and Forest Meteorology (Elsevier).

PhD Thesis Proposal - Rujun Han
Fri, Sep 10, 2021 @ 01:00 PM - 02:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
University Calendar
Name: Rujun Han
Time: 2-3:30pm, Sep 10th
Committee Members: Nanyun Peng (Chair), Aram Galstyan, Shrikanth Narayanan, Aiichiro Nakano, Xiang Ren
Title: Event-centric Reasoning in NLP with IE, QA, and NLG Applications
Abstract: Stories or narratives are composed based on events. Knowing how these events are connected logically and semantically is crucial for understanding human written texts. In the proposed thesis, we explore and invent algorithms, as well as construct novel datasets to facilitate future investigation and evaluation of automated event-centric reasoning. Specifically, we design structural deep neural networks, adapt continual pretraining methods, and leverage graph attention models to enhance machines' reasoning skills in text data. We then apply these techniques to solve event-centric tasks in information extraction, reading comprehension, question-answering, and natural language generation.
