Meas uring heat exposure in urban areas is important for protecting and improv ing human health and creating equitable outcomes. Accurate and timely mea surements are key for both micro-level policy decisions (e.g.\, where to undertake heat mitigation investments) and macro-level policy analysis (e .g.\, reducing disparities in exposure by race and income). Unfortunately \, comprehensive and scale-relevant measurements of individual heat stres s have proven elusive within cities. To begin to understand historical cl imate injustices\, where marginalized communities bear a disproportionate exposure and vulnerability to climate change impacts\, a key challenge i s to characterize vulnerability and risk of health disparities arising fr om climate impacts (including heat stress) at the community scale. Develo ping higher resolution\, more relevant metrics would provide multiple ben efits to understanding health impacts\, the extent of heat-related enviro nmental and climate disparities\, and the impact of heat mitigation measu res. In this talk\, I'll discuss our work integrating multiple modelling approaches and data sources to develop higher resolution human-centric me asures of heat stress and how this data can inform heat mitigation and ad aptation responses.

The portland cement component of concrete is a sig nificant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the high temperature manufacturing process that decomposes limestone (CaCO3) into CaO and CO2 and the fossil fuels burned to achieve the high processing te mperatures. One of the "easiest" methods to reduce emissions from cement manufacturing is to use less cement. However\, this is like dieting\, eas ier in concept than in implementation. A reduction method that has been s uccessful for decades and is favored because it improves concrete long-te rm performance and durability is to substitute a portion of cement in con crete with low carbon supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). From a n environmental perspective\, the optimum solution is to replace as much cement in concrete with SCMs as possible. This results in an interesting engineering (and economic) optimization problem where the best materials from a chemical reactivity perspective are not necessarily the ones that can be (or should be) used in the highest quantity. In this seminar\, we' ll talk about the complexity of the current SCM landscape and how to meas ure\, model\, and tailor their reactivity to optimize their use in concre te.

This need has resulted in a variety of modeling efforts focused on the representation of water infra structure operations. Yet\, the inclusion of human-water interactions in macro-scale hydrological models is still rather crude\, fragmented across models\, and often implemented at coarse resolutions that cannot accurat ely capture local water management decisions. In this talk\, we first foc us on the state-of-the-art\, and argue that the increasing interest in hy per-resolution models (~0.1-1 km) and the availability of new remotely-se nsed observations can help change the status quo. This would require addr essing three key challenges\, namely creating datasets that describe huma n actions with an unprecedented level of detail\, improving the accuracy with which anthropogenic impacts on water quality and quantity are repres ented in hydrological models\, and ensuring that models remain reliable a nd computationally efficient. We then turn of our attention to a specific case study\, that is\, the representation of reservoir operations in the Mekong River basin-a hotspot of hydropower development. For this basin\, we present a new dataset of remotely-sensed reservoir storage and then i llustrate how such information can be leveraged to improve the reliabilit y of a macro-scale hydrological model.

We draw inspiration from natural macromolecular assemblies such as viruses and molecular motors and seek to implement similar princi ples in synthetic molecular machinery. We use both DNA origami and de-nov o protein design in our research. Our efforts have lead to several intere sting accomplishments:\n(1) By studying viruses\, we have successfully pr ogrammed DNA blocks to self-assemble into icosahedral shells\, which have potential applications as programmable antiviral drugs and vaccine carri ers. (Wagenbauer et al\, Nature 2017\; Sigl et al\, Nature Materials 2021 )\n(2) We have developed DNA origami structures capable of carrying genet ic instructions that can be read by mammalian cells. This opens up possib ilities for a wide range of applications\, including gene therapy and tar geted drug delivery. (Kretzmann et al\, Nature Comms 2023\, Liedl et al\, JACS 2023)\n(3) We have constructed nanoscale assemblies with controllab le movements\, such as autonomous\, power-generating rotary DNA motors an d turbines driven by ion flux across membranes. These machines offer pote ntial for executing energy-consuming tasks in synthetic cells. (Pumm et a l\, Nature 2022\, Shi et al\, Nature Nanotech 2023)\n(4) We have built up and validated a novel computational protein design pipeline that enables building arbitrary shapes using protein backbones\, which we intend to p air up with DNA scaffolds to create multifunctional objects\, such as adv anced therapeutic vehicles.

Environmental engineers a re uniquely positioned to lead sustainable carbon management as the "circ ular carbon engineers". For example\, modern wastewater treatment is evol ving from "removal-centered" to a "recovery-oriented" approach\, and the increasing availability of low-cost renewable electricity presents new op portunities to convert "electrons to molecules". This presentation will h ighlight recent efforts to address knowledge gaps in the complex GHG emis sion profiles of the wastewater sector\, utilizing both field studies and data science methods. It will also discuss technologies for electrifying treatment processes\, co-valorizing wastewater and CO2\, performing elec trolysis of impaired water\, and producing commodity chemicals using elec troactive membranes.

These technologies are used i n a wide range of applications such as in the environmental\, pharmaceuti cal\, biotechnology\, energy\, food\, and beverage industries. Despite su ch diverse applications\, all molecular separations technologies use the common principle of exploiting differences in mass transport due to diffe rences in molecular physical and chemical properties\, including size\, c harge\, affinity\, and mobility\, among others. In this seminar\, we prov ide a brief background on key mass transport concepts and molecular prope rties relevant to separations technologies studied in the Coronell Labora tory. We then describe how\, through the study of these properties\, we h ave helped advance the understanding and/or performance of separations ma terials and technologies in diverse applications. We focus on membranes f or water desalination and more briefly cover contributions to energy stor age\, valuable resource recovery\, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance s (PFAS) removal from water.

This presents a tremendous opportunity for developi ng wearable devices toward predictive analytics and treatment. In this ta lk\, I will introduce our efforts in developing wearable biosensors for n on-invasive molecular analysis. Such wearables can autonomously access bo dy fluids (e.g.\, human sweat) across the activities and continuously mea sure a broad spectrum of analytes including metabolites\, nutrients\, hor mones\, proteins\, and drugs. To manufacture these high-performance nanom aterial-based wearable biosensors at a large scale and minimal cost\, we employ techniques such as laser engraving\, inkjet printing\, and 3D prin ting. The clinical utility of our wearable systems is assessed through a series of human trials\, focusing on precision nutrition\, stress respons e and mental health assessment\, chronic disease management\, fertility m anagement\, and drug personalization. I will also delve into our ongoing research into energy harvesting from both the human body and the surround ing environment\, with the ultimate aim of achieving battery-free\, wirel ess wearable biosensing. The integration of these wearable technologies h as the potential to unlock a wide spectrum of applications\, ranging from personalized monitoring and diagnostics to innovative therapeutic soluti ons.\n\nBIO: Wei Gao is an Assistant Professor of Medical Engineering\, R onald and JoAnne Willens Scholar\, and Heritage Medical Research Institut e Investigator at the California Institute of Technology.

We aim to create int elligent materials with better component controls at the atomic and molec ular levels. Speciically\, we are interested in designing bio-inspired mo lecular building blocks such as DNA\, RNA and proteins and programming th eir higher order assembly into systems that will perform complex function s. Our ultimate goals are 1) to engineer an information guided self-assem bling molecular system for the finest possible interactions of molecules in a three-dimensional space\; and 2) to create man-made molecular machin es/molecular robotics through molecular design\, molecular programming\, directed molecular evolution and molecular systems engineering. In this talk I will discuss some of our work along this line and present some of the challenges and opportunities that exist in DNA and RNA based molecula r design to engineer programmable materials and programmable medicine.

Early detection of water pollutants is critical to preventing community exposures and the subsequent onset of environmen tally linked diseases. However\, pollution assessment in economically cha llenged communities is hampered by the difficulty and high cost associate d with laboratory testing. In this seminar\, I will provide some examples of field-deployable sensors developed by our group for detecting various water pollutants of significance to rural communities in Colombia (South America)\, such as agricultural pesticide residues and fecal coliforms. I will further discuss the pollution and health risk assessments associat ed with water consumption in the studied communities and draw some lesson s for future work in this domain.

Data limitations and availability issues have hindered the ability of health departments t o quantify and characterize at-risk and vulnerable private wells. This pr esentation discusses lessons learned after three major hurricanes (2017 H arvey\, 2018 Florence\, and 2024 Debby) and our team's current strategies to support state and local health departments with GIS-enabled tools and associated training following Hurricane Helene.

Towards that end\, the goal of the Reactive Chemical Syst ems Program at the Army Research Office (ARO) is to achieve a molecular l evel understanding of surface/interfacial activity and dynamic nanostruct ured chemical systems to provide leap-ahead advancements in Army relevant materials for the benefit of the Soldier. This program supports basic\, fundamental research in the areas of surfaces\, catalysis\, interfaces\, coatings\, and novel and stimuli-responsive chemical systems. The program is divided into three primary focus areas: (i) Nanostructure Surface Int eractions and Reactivity\, (ii) Development of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl S ubstances (PFAS) Alternatives\, and (iii) Synthetic Molecular Systems. In this seminar\, Dr. Berry will provide an overview of ARO\, the Sciences of Extreme Materials Competency\, as well as the programmatic priorities of the Reactive Chemical Systems Program. Recent program highlights/acco mplishments and their potential applicability to the Army will be discuss ed. Finally\, engagement with ARO\, ranging from topics including fundin g mechanisms\, the proposal submission process\, and government service a s a career path will also be discussed.\n\nDR. JAMES BERRY is a Chemist s erving DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Aberdeen Proving Ground\, Maryland. He received his BS in Chemistry from Ursinus College\, College ville\, PA in 2005. From there\, he obtained his PhD in Chemistry from t he University of Delaware\, Newark\, DE in 2010.\nDr. Berry joined ARL as an ORISE senior researcher in 2013 following a postdoctoral fellowship a t the Brain Science Institute at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. W hile at ARL\, he has developed research-based solutions in the areas of n ovel polymers for multifunctional use within biological applications\, de velopment of novel mechanophores and their incorporation into elastomeric materials of interest for testing under high-rate impact\, and the inves tigation of reactivity between lithium-ion battery electrolyte solvents a nd materials of interest under Army relevant scenarios.

It is also well-known that port land cement production contributes approximately 8 to 10 percent of globa l anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However\, what is often overlooked in such statements is the fact that portland cement concrete-based materials con stitute about 50% of what humanity produces and 30% of what humanity uses \, including fossil fuels. Additionally\, we often fail to acknowledge th at the composition of the Earth's crust does not allow us to produce any other economically viable alternative material on such a large scale. Let me be clear: I do not suggest that we should not strive to reduce the ca rbon footprint of concrete\; however\, we need to be realistic and seek s olutions that are both feasible and economically viable. In this talk\, I will elaborate on my thoughts regarding potential solutions and the chal lenges involved.\nGiven the large-scale use of portland cement concrete\, it is no surprise that it has significant environmental emissions and im plications\, but the interaction of concrete with the environment goes be yond just CO2 release. Concrete forms a substantial part of our infrastru cture\, and in this talk\, I will discuss two topics related to how concr ete interacts with our environment beyond CO2 emissions. First\, I will e xplain how concrete can become a source of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) release due to exposure to Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF)\ ; PFAS can infiltrate concrete\, leading to its release from concrete ove r time. I will highlight some of our findings on the mechanisms of PFAS t ransport in concrete under unsaturated conditions. Secondly\, I will disc uss the transport of Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and benzene in concrete\, a problem that arises when a concrete pipe carries water through soils co ntaminated with chlorinated solvents or hydrocarbon fuels. I will describ e the transport mechanisms involved and how we have measured them. In eac h of these areas\, I will share my thoughts on future research directions and the fundamental questions that remain for the next generation of sci entists and engineers to address.

With the advent of Artificial Intel ligence (AI)\, we can now rigorously explore relationships that span acro ss distinct areas - such as\, mechanics and biology\, or science and art - to deepen our understanding\, to accelerate innovation\, and to drive s cientific discovery. However\, many existing AI methods have limitations when it comes to physical intuition\, and often hallucinate. To address t hese challenges\, we present research that blurs the boundary between phy sics-based and data-driven modeling through a series of physics-inspired multimodal graph-based generative AI models\, set forth in a hierarchical multi-agent mixture-of-experts framework. The design of these models fol lows a biologically inspired approach where we re-use neural structures a nd dynamically arrange them in different patterns and utility\, implement ing a manifestation of the universality-diversity-principle that forms a powerful principle in bioinspired materials. This new generation of model s is applied to the analysis and design of materials\, specifically to mi mic and improve upon biological materials. Applied specifically to protei n engineering\, the talk will cover case studies covering distinct scales \, from silk\, to collagen\, to biomineralized materials\, as well as app lications to medicine\, food and agriculture where materials design is cr itical to achieve performance targets.

Such models represent m icrobial processes\, such as photosynthesis and decomposition\, which act ively cycle nutrients and particulate material that influence hypoxia. Al though microorganisms are critical to such transformations\, these models do not typically incorporate any microbial observations\, except for chl orophyll a from phytoplankton\, into model validation in part because dat a to constrain such representation is lacking. Metagenomic information co uld provide useful constraints for these models although it is not clear how best to use this information in models. To advance the use of metagen omics to improve models used to manage water quality in the Chesapeake Ba y\, major trends were identified in metagenomic observations of metabolic gene abundance across an observational dataset taken during the spring a nd summer of 2017 in Chesapeake Bay\, including several gene sets that ar e strongly predictable from environmental variables typically simulated b y models. Next\, a subset of genes responsible for the largest amount of variation across the dataset and associated with primary production\, nit rification\, denitrification\, and sulfur cycling\, was compared to rates predicted by a numerical model that represents these processes. Modeled rates or biomass indicators (i.e. chlorophyll) are significantly correlat ed with many of the associated genes. However\, interesting discrepancies were found\, such as an overabundance of photosynthesis and denitrificat ion genes in the deep waters in the spring where they are not expected as sociated with taxonomic changes between spring and summer. Our work highl ights the potential of metagenomics as justification for adding taxonomic ally-resolved representations of key processes and could provide useful d ata to constrain a wide range of microbial processes in models.

The app lication of data-driven and machine learning approaches to the mechanics of structural materials under a range of representative applications will be discussed\, largely in the context of enabling high throughput experi mentation and analysis\, and in enabling new modes of structural health m onitoring.

Such autonomous agents are capable of handli ng dangerous tasks but are limited in their reactions to unforeseen event s. At the same time\, humans have more adaptive and creative problem-solv ing skills but are limited in terms of handling some specific tasks and m anaging cognitive loads. The inclusion of autonomy within a team requires a significant effort to train agents to distribute tasks dynamically for optimal operation. In addition\, the need to address diverse requirement s requires heterogeneous teams where agents can have different capabiliti es and levels of risk tolerance. While heterogeneity in multi-agent teams offers benefits\, new challenges arise including how to find optimal het erogeneous team compositions and how to distribute tasks dynamically amon g agents in complex operations.\n\nThis presentation will discuss modelin g tools for autonomous vehicles with focus on artificial intelligence alg orithms for heterogeneous agents to learn dynamically task distributions in teams with humans and other autonomous agents through reinforcement le arning in synthetic environments.\n\nBIO: Bogdan I. Epureanu completed hi s Ph.D. at Duke University in 1999. He is the Roger L. McCarthy Professor and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineer ing at the University of Michigan\, with a courtesy appointment in Electr ical Engineering and Computer Science. Dr. Epureanu is the Director of th e Automotive Research Center\, which leads the way in areas of autonomy o f ground systems\, including vehicle dynamics\, control\, and autonomous behavior\, human-autonomy teaming\, high performance structures and mater ials\, intelligent power systems\, and fleet operations and vehicle syste m of systems integration. His research focuses on nonlinear dynamics of c omplex systems\, such as teaming of autonomous vehicles\, enhanced aircra ft safety and performance\, early detection of neurodegenerative diseases \, and forecasting tipping points in engineered and physical systems such as disease epidemics and ecology.

Accordingly\, interfaces of image-based automatic defect-detection and v isual inspectors are explored focusing on Augmented Reality (AR) systems. A standalone human interface for automatic defect detection and localiza tion is developed by integrating an image-based pattern recognition algor ithm in AR headset's platform. The interface also quantifies anomalies in the pixel units using a horizontal measurement algorithm improved by the edge gradient analysis and employs a nonstationary pixel unit conversion algorithm to translate the size of anomalies to the engineering units. A dditionally\, human interfaces for intuitive robot programming are presen ted. Compared to other approaches\, AR interfaces enhance precision\, red uce setup time\, and allow for more intuitive interaction. This seminar a lso summarizes the research developing a new interactive interface for in tuitive robot programming that allows humans to adjust the kinematic cont roller's parameters or use a different outer-loop controller that is an a lternative to the time-consuming adjustments of the holograms. Automatic robot control in human proximity is examined where human intention predic tion is essential for safe robot planning. This automated control with th e AR interface open a bi-lateral communication line between humans and ro bots. The practical application and validation of the model is examined t hrough experiments related to inspections and manufacturing involving hum an upper limb movement in interaction with robots.

The 1922 Co lorado River Compact promoted growth by allocating a fixed amount of wate r to Upper and Lower Basin states\, not foreseeing potential conflicts ov er inadequate supply. Lakes Powell and Mead have the capacity to store up to four years' average use\, but storage has generally decreased since 2 000. Although the 2007 Interim Guidelines (IG) set up a system of water s hortages that were linked to reservoir storage elevations\, the IG and su bsequent drought management plans were not enough to protect system stora ge given continued drought. These regulations are set to expire in 2026\, with a new management plan currently being negotiated. In support of thi s effort\, the US Bureau of Reclamation has sponsored a research program on Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty (DMDU) methods at CU Boulder's Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environmental Systems (CADSWES). Reclamation created a publicly available DMDU web tool (https: //www.crbpost2026dmdu.org/)\, allowing anyone to create policies and eval uate their performance under a wide array of possibilities of future wate r supply and demand for multiple output dimensions.\nThis presentation wi ll discuss our ongoing research on DMDU methods in the CRB. DMDU seeks to address challenges including conflicting goals of multiple stakeholders (preserving storage versus preventing shortages)\, divergent potential fu ture conditions (a range of drier and wetter hydrologic inputs)\, and com plicated relationships between decisions and outcomes. We use multi-objec tive simulation-based optimization with the CRSS model to generate polici es. The Self Organizing Map (SOM) is introduced to intelligently organize a diverse range of scenarios\, allowing users to navigate the data and d iscover how policies' performance is transformed across a changing landsc ape of potential conditions. The SOM can visualize any policy's performan ce in coherent groupings of input scenarios\, and those groupings can sub sequently be used to select input scenarios for robust optimization and a daptive management. The ultimate goal of this work is to help Reclamation and Basin stakeholders maintain flexibility when future conditions becom e more severe than originally anticipated\, as is currently happening in the CRB.

Hence\, the current paradigm for drinking wat er quality management includes technologies (1) to inactivate\, starve\, or remove microorganisms during treatment and minimize growth during wate r distribution and (2) source-to-tap monitoring focused on harmful and pa thogenic microorganisms. Yet\, every liter of drinking water can contain tens of millions of diverse microorganisms that form a complex and dynami c drinking water microbiome. This talk will present hypotheses based on field data on potential ecological and physiological mechanisms underpinn ing the persistence and proliferation of the drinking water microbiome. T hese insights necessitate the development of novel approaches for holisti c monitoring and management of the drinking water microbiome.This talk wi ll also highlight ongoing work on the development of low-cost optical- an d DNA sequencing-based methods for real-time and quantitative characteriz ation of microbial communities in drinking water systems.\nBio: \nDr Amee t Pinto is an Environmental Engineer and Carlton S Wilder Associate Profe ssor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Institute of Techn ology (Georgia Tech).
