an initially incoherent ensemble of quantum emitters s pontaneously synchronizes\, leading to a burst of coherent light. Traditi onally\, this process requires cryogenic conditions to suppress dephasing \, as the emergence of coherence demands that the collective light-matter coupling outpace decoherence processes.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present the discovery of an unconventional form of SF that persists at room temp erature in lead-halide perovskites\, enabled by the formation of solitons -self-organized quantum islands of coherence embedded in an incoherent ba ckground. These solitonic regions act as localized macroscopic quantum st ates that are vibrationally isolated from the thermal lattice via a mecha nism we term Quantum Analog of Vibration Isolation (QAVI). While conventi onal SF relies on radiative coupling to induce phase synchronization\, so litonic SF emerges from a nonlinear\, density-driven structural transitio n governed by exciton-lattice interactions.\n\nThis phenomenon not only c hallenges long-standing assumptions about coherence limits in solids\, bu t also points to a broader framework for realizing macroscopic quantum ph ases in thermally disordered environments-where self-localization and col lective order can coexist without global symmetry breaking.\n\nKenan Gund ogdu received his B.S. in Physics from Boğaziçi University in 1999 and hi s Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Iowa in 2004\, where he studied spin dynamics in semiconductors. He completed two postdoctoral appointme nts-first in the Chemistry Department at the University of Iowa and then at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since 2008\, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Physics at North Carolina State Unive rsity. His research focuses on ultrafast spectroscopy\, quantum coherence \, and emergent phenomena in quantum materials\, including recent work on room-temperature solitonic superfluorescence in lead-halide perovskites.

In a long-term follow-up\, we found that children livi ng from birth in households served by new sanitation facilities experienc ed reduced exposure to enteric pathogens (adjusted prevalence ratio acros s 22 gut pathogens [aPR] 0·88\, 95% CI: 0·83-0·93) compared with controls lacking upgrades\, with high reductions in enteric bacteria and helminth s. Children in intervention compounds grew significantly taller (adjusted mean height-for-age z-score [HAZ] difference +0·31\; 95% CI: 0·097\, 0·5 1) and had a substantially lower prevalence of stunting (aPR: 0·69\; 95% CI: 0·54\, 0·89) than control children lacking good sanitation. Findings strongly suggest that better urban sanitation can deliver on improved hea lth outcomes in kids. But can such strategies scale in an era of declinin g global health investment?

In recent years\, millions of peopl e have been exposed to tap water that violates federal guidelines for pat hogens\, nitrates\, arsenic\, and harmful disinfection by-products. In a community water system\, water quality problems arise when stagnation lea ds to depleted chlorine residuals\, growth of microbes\, and potential sp ikes in disinfection by-products and heavy metals. Inequities in affordab ility may be heightened when households purchase bottled water\, which is seen as a practical alternative in response to poor water quality at the tap. Similar dynamics occur on a smaller scale in premise plumbing\, whi ch is the portion of the drinking water distribution system inside buildi ngs that includes pipes and fixtures. Water stagnates in premise plumbing systems due to intermittent uses at fixtures\, which allows biofilms and opportunistic pathogens to flourish. Extended water age also increases t he risk of lead and other heavy metals leaching from premise pipes and pl umbing material. Water use habits around showering\, watering lawns and g ardens\, drinking tap water\, and washing hands affect not only the flows and quality of water in the premise plumbing\, but also the exposure of an individual to unique water quality signatures. Across scales\, exposur e to poor water quality emerges due to the interactions among people and infrastructure\, as changes in demands and intermittency of demands drive hydraulics and water quality dynamics.

In bi ological imaging applications\, however\, optical imaging is limited by t issue scattering to short imaging depths. This prevents large-scale bio-i maging by allowing visualization of only the outer superficial layers of an organism\, or specific components isolated from within the organism an d prepared in-vitro. I present recent developments in our lab that desig n inverse-scattering methods to computationally unscramble scattering eff ects and reconstruct 3D refractive-index (RI) in optically thick samples. I will specifically discuss 1) novel computational microscope systems th at enable high-NA\, coded illumination for collecting a sample's multiple xed scattering information\; and 2) the design and practical implementati on of large-scale computational nonlinear and nonconvex frameworks that e nable robust RI reconstruction based on correlation analysis\, digital re focusing\, and low-rank initialization. Real-world bio-imaging will be de monstrated on multiple-scattering organisms popularly used in the basic-s ciences. I will also discuss future research directions that can capitali ze and extend these developments towards non-optical imaging\, which may extend the utility of these computational frameworks to other regimes.\n\ n\nShwetadwip Chowdhury is an Assistant Professor in the Department of El ectrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.

Predicting where these things end up\, and in what a bundance\, is a difficult enterprise\; this difficulty impacts a huge ran ge of scientific disciplines\, and limits our ability to predict future e nvironmental conditions and engineer solutions. In particular\, turbulent motions are a highly nonlinear and small-scale phenomena that form the f oundation on which environmental transport is based. Making matters worse \, often it is hazardous or simply impossible to observe these motions in nature or recreate them in the laboratory.\n\nHere I will focus on one s uch effort of leveraging high-resolution\, high-fidelity simulations to e xplore complex flows and their accurate representation in coarse-scale mo dels: tropical cyclones and the problem of air-sea interaction. It has lo ng been hypothesized that sea spray generated at the ocean surface plays a large role in the transfer of heat\, moisture\, and momentum at the air -sea interface. In high winds\, it is well-known that spray is produced i n abundance\, but it is much less clear how spray may mediate air-sea tra nsfer in these conditions. A turbulence and droplet-resolving framework i s used as an idealized testbed to examine the assumptions and premises of commonly used bulk spray flux parameterizations. In multiple respects\, spray droplets limit their own ability to enhance air-sea heat and moistu re transfer due to the complex thermodynamic feedbacks that occur during their exchange with the surrounding air. Ultimately\, the primary factors determining whether or not spray can modulate air-sea energy and momentu m fluxes are the spray lifetimes and airborne concentrations -- both of w hich are quantities that are largely unknown or uncertain in high-wind co nditions.

A growing body of site investigations suggests that PFAS h ave accumulated significantly in soils at many contaminated sites\, posin g a long-term threat to contaminate the groundwater underneath. Understan ding and quantifying PFAS leaching in soils and mass discharge to groundw ater are therefore critical for characterizing\, managing\, and mitigatin g long-term groundwater contamination risks. Many PFAS are surfactants th at adsorb at air-water and solid-water interfaces\, which leads to comple x retention of PFAS in soils. Concomitantly\, PFAS present in porewater c an modify surface tension and in turn impact variably saturated flow\, wh ich further complicates the fate and transport of PFAS in soils. \nIn thi s talk\, I will discuss our recent work that aims to understand and quant ify the primary processes that control the long-term leaching of PFAS. I will start by presenting a mathematical model that represents a set of PF AS-specific transport processes including concentration-dependent capilla ry pressure\, and rate-limited and nonlinear adsorption at the air-water and solid-water interfaces. This will be followed by the discussion of ad ditional complexities to test hypotheses formulated from field observatio ns. Insights from these analyses allow us to develop simplified models wi th a focus on the primary processes that dominantly control PFAS leaching . The simplified models provide efficient and accurate screening-type too ls for quantifying long-term PFAS leaching from soils to groundwater.

Computer simulations of head-brain biomechanics offer enormous potential for improved understanding and prevention of TBI. However\, simulations must be complemented by biomechanical measurements to parameterize and ev aluate the underlying mathematical models. The nonlinear\, anisotropic\, viscoelastic\, heterogeneous character of brain tissue\, and the intricat e connections between the brain and skull all play important roles in the brain's response to skull acceleration. While studies of animal brains a nd ex vivo brain tissue have led to important insights\, measurements of the response of the intact human brain are necessary and complementary. O n the other hand\, efforts to understand the motion of the human brain in vivo are complicated by the fact that it is delicate\, hidden\, and well -protected by the skull. I will describe MR imaging techniques to charact erize brain deformation\, estimate brain material properties and stress s tate\, and illuminate the boundary conditions between brain and skull\, a ll aimed at improving the ability to model and simulate TBI.

In this presentation\, I will expl ain the coupling of the finite element framework FreeFEM with the PETSc l ibrary to enable the efficient and scalable solution of large-scale PDE p roblems arising in scientific computing.\n\nIn particular\, I will focus on the design and implementation of advanced solution strategies\, includ ing domain decomposition methods and tailored preconditioning techniques\ , within this coupled environment. By leveraging PETSc composable solver infrastructure and FreeFEM expressive formulation capabilities\, users ma y develop workflows that bridge high-level problem specification with low -level performance optimization.\n\nI will showcase a series of numerical experiments highlighting the scalability and robustness of the proposed approaches on distributed-memory architectures. Particular attention is g iven to the impact of preconditioning strategies on convergence and paral lel efficiency for challenging elliptic and multiphysics problems.\n\nPIE RRE JOLIVET is a CNRS senior scientist hosted by Sorbonne Université\, LI P6\, Paris\, France. He earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Univer sité de Grenoble in 2014. His research focuses on high-performance comput ing and scalable numerical methods for large-scale scientific simulations \, with particular expertise in domain decomposition and preconditioning techniques. He is a core contributor to computational toolkits such as PE TSc and FreeFEM\, and collaborates closely with industry partners worldwi de.\n\nHost: Christopher Douglas DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20260422T145211Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260428T123000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260422T145211Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-2825f3ad-0000002f:Fitzpatri ck Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B\, room 1466 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:MEMS Special Seminar: Pierre Jolivet\, " From Models to Solvers: P DEs with FreeFEM and PETSc.” UID:CAL-8a003384-9cc4d1fe-019d-b5ab2181-00006df5demobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Meeting:/user/public-user/Ot her/Meeting X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Conference_Symposium:/user/p ublic-user/Lectures_Conferences/Conference_Symposium X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Panel_Seminar_Colloquium:/us er/public-user/Lectures_Conferences/Panel_Seminar_Colloquium X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Engineering:/user/public-use r/Topics/Engineering X-BEDEWORK-CS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DESCRIPTION="/principals/users/agrp_PrattSc hool,":Pratt School of Engineering X-BEDEWORK-STUDENT-CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-EMAIL=christopher.douglas@duke .edu:Christopher Douglas X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Pierre Jolivet X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:MEMS Special Seminar X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:acs2 for Mechanical Engineering and Materials Scien ce (MEMS) (agrp_PrattSchool_MEMS) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
