SUMMARY:How green hydrogen is made
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nMarc T.M. Koper \nLeiden Institute of Chemistry \nLeiden University\, Leiden\, The Netherlands \nAbstract:  \nThe electrocatalytic production of hydrogen through water splitting is a necessary approach for storing (excess) renewable electricity as chemical energy in fuels\, and for making green hydrogen as a building block for the chemical industry. Here\, I will discuss recent advances and challenges in the mechanistic understanding of electrochemical H2 formation. Specifically\, I will show that H2O activation is influenced by an intricate interplay between surface structure (both on the nano- and on the mesoscale)\, electrolyte effects (pH\, ion effects) and mass transport conditions. This complex interplay is currently still far from being completely understood. \nBio: \nMarc Koper is Professor of Surface Chemistry and Catalysis at Leiden University\, The Netherlands. He received his PhD degree (1994) from Utrecht University (The Netherlands) with a thesis on nonlinear dynamics and oscillations in electrochemistry. He was an EU Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ulm (Germany) and a Fellow of Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) at Eindhoven University of Technology\, before moving to Leiden University in 2005. His research in Leiden focuses on fundamental aspects of electrocatalysis\, theoretical and computational electrochemistry\, and electrochemical surface science\, in relation to renewable energy and chemistry. He has received various national and international awards\, among which the Spinoza Prize of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (2021)\, Allen J. Bard Award for Electrochemical Science of The Electrochemical Society (2020)\, the Netherlands Catalysis and Chemistry Award (2019)\, and the Faraday Medal (2017) from the Royal Society of Chemistry. He is currently President of the International Society of Electrochemistry.

SUMMARY:Leveraging the Natural Cellular and Biomolecular Interactions in Blood for the Design of Targeted\, Anti-Inflammatory Particle Therapeutics
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents:  \nDr. Omolola (Lola) Eniola-Adefeso \nAssociate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor \nAbstract:  \nVascular-targeted particle therapeutics offer the possibility of increased drug effectiveness while minimizing side effects often associated with systemic drug administration. Factors that influence the likelihood of targeted particle therapeutics to reach the vascular wall are the ability to identify: 1) a disease-specific target\, 2) the appropriate drug carrier type and geometry for efficient interaction with the vascular wall\, and 3) a drug-carrier combination that allows for the desired release of the targeted therapeutics. Our work focuses on probing the role of particle geometry\, material chemistry\, and blood rheology/dynamics on the ability of vascular-targeted drug carriers to interact with the blood vessel wall – an important consideration that will control the effectiveness of drug targeting regardless of the targeted disease or delivered therapeutically. This presentation will highlight the carrier-blood cell interactions that affect drug carrier binding to the vascular wall and alter critical neutrophil functions in disease. The talk will present the material design parameters for optimal drug carriers’ design for active and passive use in treating acute lung injury and other inflammatory diseases. \nBio: \nDr. Omolola (Lola) Eniola-Adefeso is the University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor of Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering and the Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.  She received a doctoral degree (2004) in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. She was a postdoctoral associate in the Pediatrics/Leukocyte Biology at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Eniola-Adefeso joined the faculty of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2006\, where she runs the Cell Adhesion and Drug Delivery Laboratory.   Since she arrived at Michigan\, Dr. Eniola-Adefeso has received several honors and awards\, including the NSF CAREER Award\, American Heart Association Innovator Award\, and most recently\, the BMES MIDCAREER Award. She is a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and the Biomedical Engineering Society and serves as Deputy Editor for Science Advances. Her research is currently funded by multiple grants from the NIH NHLBI\, American Heart Association\, and the National Science Foundation. \n

SUMMARY:Engineered cellular models to explore human disease heterogeneity
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents:  \nAlison McGuigan\, PhD \nProfessor\, Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry\, University of Toronto \nAbstract: \nEx vivo culture models provide powerful tools to interrogate the role of tumour heterogeneity in human cancers. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are emerging as powerful models to capture the genetic heterogeneity of human tumors. However\, extrinsic factors present in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of a tumour\, such as the presence of stromal cells and gradients of small molecules such as oxygen\, also affect cancer phenotype and response to therapy. This talk will describe tissue-engineered platforms we have developed 1) to enable controlled assembly and disassembly of organoid structures to study the impact of both genetic and microenvironmental heterogeneity on tumor cell behavior and 2) to explore tumour microenvironment remodelling\, heterogeneity in response to therapy\, and potential to re-grow after therapy. \nBio: \nDr. Alison McGuigan is a Professor in Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry and the Institute for Biomedical Engineering at University of Toronto. She obtained her undergraduate degree from University of Oxford\, her PhD from University of Toronto working\, and completed Post Doctoral Fellowships at Harvard University and Stanford School of Medicine. Dr. McGuigan research group is focused on the engineering of tissue models to explore mechanisms of disease and regeneration. Dr. McGuigan has established strategies to generate multi-component tissue systems with specified organization. Furthermore\, she has pioneered the design of tissue platforms for smart data acquisition\, with a focus on stratifying heterogeneous bulk data by cell population\, by spatial location\, or by time. In recognition of Dr. McGuigan’s work she has received numerous awards including the 2013 TERMIS-AM Young Investigator Award\, and the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering Hatch Innovation Award. In 2018 was elected to the Royal Society of Canada-College of New Scholars\, Artists and Scientists and in 2022 she was elected a Fellow of TERM by the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society. She serves on the executive leadership team of CFREF Medicine by Design program and on the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) incubation and outreach committee.

SUMMARY:Modular and Composite Approaches to Engineering Challenging Tissues with Polysaccharide Materials
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nHoward W.T. Matthew\, PhD \nProfessor\, Chemical Engineering\, Wayne State University \nAbstract: \nPolysaccharides have long been recognized as polymeric materials with an array of properties that have made them indispensable for applications ranging from adhesives to property-enhancing nanomaterials.  As a result\, they have found wide acceptance as food and drug additives.  Over the past thirty years\, a growing body of work has served to raise their profile as effectors and modulators of receptor-based phenomena including immune recognition as well as cell-matrix\, cell-pathogen\, and cell-growth factor interactions.  However\, these materials remained underutilized as components of implantable systems.  Within the last decade\, the explosion of research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has increased demand for biologically active materials\, and polysaccharides are receiving greater attention for their ability to facilitate tissue assembly and organization in vitro and in vivo.  While many polysaccharides possess potentially useful biological activities\, their mode of application has mainly been in bulk hydrogel form.  The Matthew group has been working with polyelectrolyte ionic complexes formed between oppositely charged polysaccharides.  These ionic complex membranes can be rendered as hollow microcapsules of controllable size.  This presentation will describe our ongoing studies focused on deploying these capsules as a versatile tool for generating tissue organoids and as a platform for assembling vascularized tissues with a range of physical and biological properties. \nBio: \nHoward Matthew is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Wayne State University (WSU) in Detroit\, Michigan.  He received a B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering (1984) from the University of the West Indies\, Trinidad.  After two years in the food processing industry\, he joined Wayne State University for graduate studies\, receiving an M.S. degree in 1988 and a Ph.D. in 1992.  He conducted two years of postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital.  He then joined the WSU faculty as an Assistant Professor in 1994.  He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation’s Early Faculty CAREER Award (1996)\, and was elected as a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE\, 2012).  His research spans the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering\, focusing on the use of polysaccharide materials in tissue design and assembly.  His work has two broad themes: modulating the mechanics and biological activity of polysaccharide materials; and developing methods to apply these materials in cell and tissue-based therapies.  Target applications include: heart valves for pediatric applications\, designing transplantable liver tissue\, and regeneration of musculoskeletal structures after surgical or traumatic loss.  To date\, Prof. Matthew has been research supervisor for over 40 graduate students 55 undergraduates and 43 high school students. \n

SUMMARY:Figuring it out: Student Engagement towards Conceptual Understanding and Disciplinary Practice
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: Milo Korestky\nMcDonnell Family Bridge Professor\nCo-Director\, Institute for Learning on Research and Instruction (IRLI)\nDepartment of Chemical and Biological Engineering\nDepartment of Education\nTufts University \nAbstract: \nThere has been considerable emphasis recently in transitioning chemical engineering classroom instruction from transmission-based lectures to active learning. Active learning has been defined broadly as “anything that you have your students do in class that gets them to actively engage with the material you’re trying to teach.”  This talk focuses on student engagement – that is\, how students take up the challenging and complex work that we ask them to do as they form into professional engineers. I explore fundamental questions about student engagement in the active learning classroom: Engagement in what? Are there different kinds of engagement? I contrast two forms of engagement. The first looks at engagement for conceptual understanding using the Concept Warehouse\, a tool developed around concept-based active learning. The second addresses engagement in disciplinary practices. When engaged in disciplinary practices\, students use the concepts and discourses of engineering to “get somewhere” on an engineering task (develop a product\, gain a better understanding). Neither way is inherently more correct or better\, rather they are representations of learning that might provide useful ways to think about design choices within a certain context. \nBiography: \nMilo Koretsky is the McDonnell Family Bridge Professor and co-Director of the Institute for Research on Learning and Instruction (IRLI) at Tufts University. He holds a joint appointment in Chemical and Biological Engineering and in Education. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from UC San Diego and his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley\, all in Chemical Engineering. He currently has research activity in areas related to engineering education. His group works on integrating technology into effective educational practices that promote the use of higher-level cognitive and social skills in engineering problem-solving and in promoting change towards motivating faculty to use evidence-based instructional practices. A particular focus is on what prevents students from being able to integrate and extend the knowledge developed in specific courses in the core curriculum to the more complex\, authentic problems and projects they face in professional practice. Dr. Koretsky has received recognition through university and international awards and is a Fellow of the American Society of Engineering Education and a Fellow of the Center for Lifelong STEM Education Research.

SUMMARY:Catalytic treatment of water contaminated with halogenated hydrocarbons
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nUmit Ozkan\, Chair & University Distinguished Professor \nDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, Ohio State University \nAbstract:  \nGroundwater contamination by halogenated compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) is an environmental concern due to their high level of toxicity and their potential impact on drinking water. Hydrogenation of chlorinated compounds offers an efficient and cost-effective way of decontaminating groundwater since it eliminates the chlorinated compounds by catalytically converting them to hydrocarbons and hydrogen chloride. Although promising conversions have been obtained with the palladium-based state-the-art catalysts\, slow kinetics at low temperatures and low concentrations as well as deactivation due to reduced sulfur and chlorine species (SO42-\, HS–\, Cl–) are still recurring problems. To overcome these issues\, we are using a newly-developed material\, a swellable organically modified silica (SOMS) as a catalyst scaffold. SOMS is a very hydrophobic material\, but it has a very high affinity for organics.  These characteristics allow the organic contaminants to concentrate inside the pores\, near the active sites\, hence helping the kinetics. Hydrophobicity serves as a deterrent to deactivation by keeping the water-dissolved poisons away from the active sites.  Activity measurements performed in liquid and gas phases as well as catalyst characterization results will be presented. \nBiography: \nUmit S.

SUMMARY:Deep Learning Guided Electrified Interfacial Chemical Processes
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Fanglin Che\, Assistant Professor \nDepartment of Chemical Engineering\, University of Massachusetts Lowell \nAbstract:  \nThe usability and costly storage issues of renewable electricity from solar or wind energy become major challenges on a global scale due to the daily and seasonal variability of sunlight or wind and the geographic inequality of energy needs. A promising solution to address the above challenges lies in electrified modular chemical processes\, which provide a sustainable approach to store the solar and wind electrical energy chemically. Theoretically determining and quantifying the roles of electrified interfacial structure and field-dipole interactions on controlling the activity and selectivity of chemical processes and then integrating these roles to establish deep collaborations between machine learning and electrified interfacial chemical processes is crucial for rationally designing these electrified modular systems for energy storage and sustainable chemical production. This talk will focus on two examples\, one is organic-inorganic interface and its impact on electrocatalysis of carbon dioxide and the other one is field-dipole interaction effects on sustainable ammonia synthesis. \nBiography: \nDr. Fanglin Che joined in Chemical Engineering department at UMass Lowell as an Assistant Professor in September\, 2019. Dr. Che earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Washington State University in December\, 2016\, under the advisement of Prof. Jean-Sabin McEwen. From 2017 to 2018\, she worked on electrocatalysis with Prof. Edward Sargent at University of Toronto as a Postdoctoral Researcher. From 2018 to 2019\, she worked on microwave heating as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at University of Delaware in Prof. Dionisios G. Vlachos’s laboratory. The overarching goal of Dr. Che’s research at UMass Lowell is to advance the knowledge of electrified interfacial phenomena via building data-driven multi-scale and multi-physics computational models. A special focus is placed on electric field-induced chemistry\, electrocatalysis\, plasma catalysis\, and microwave catalysis. Her group is currently funded by NSF\, Navy\, and Army.

SUMMARY:Design of Polymer Electrolytes with Superionic Ion Transport
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nRachel A. Segalman\, PhD. \nDepartment Chair\, Chemical Engineering\, University of California\, Santa Barbara \nAbstract: \nProgress toward durable\, high-energy density lithium-ion batteries has been hindered by instabilities at electrolyte-electrode interfaces leading to poor cycling stability\, and by safety concerns associated with energy-dense lithium metal anodes. Solid polymeric electrolytes (SPEs) can help mitigate these issues\, however SPE conductivity is limited by sluggish polymer segmental dynamics. Transport through the free volume of ordered\, superionically conductive domains results in decoupling of ion motion and polymer segmental dynamics. Although crystalline domains are conventionally detrimental to ion conduction in SPEs\, we demonstrate that semicrystalline polymer electrolytes with labile ion-ion interactions and tailored ion sizes exhibit excellent lithium conductivity (1.6 mS/cm) and selectivity (t+~0.6-0.8). This allows for simultaneous optimization of typically orthogonal properties including conductivity\, Li-selectivity\, mechanics\, and processability. \nBio: \nRachel A. Segalman received her B.S. from the University of Texas at Austin and Ph.D from the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Université Louis Pasteur before joining the faculty of UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories from 2004-2014.  During a portion of this time she also served as the Materials Science Division Director at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories. In 2014\, she moved to UC Santa Barbara to be the Kramer Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials and became Department Chair of Chemical Engineering in 2015. In 2018 she also became the Schlinger Distinguished Chair of Chemical Engineering and the Associate Director of the UT/UCSB/LBL EFRC: Center for Materials for Water and Energy Systems.  She is the co-editor of the Annual Reviews of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and an associate editor of ACS Macro Letters.  Segalman’s group works on controlling the structure and thermodynamics of functional polymers for energy applications including polymeric ionic liquids and semiconducting and bioinspired polymers.  Among other awards\, Segalman received the Journal of Polymer Science Innovation Award\, the Dillon Medal from the American Physical Society\, the Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering\, is an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and a Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar. She is also a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. \n  \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the remote link.

SUMMARY:Open-Shell Molecules: A Radical Design for Organic Optoelectronic Materials
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Mark S. Chen \nAssistant Professor \nDepartment of Chemistry\, Lehigh University \nAbstract: \nOpen-shell molecules possess unpaired electron density (radical character)\, which makes them intriguing candidate materials for many optoelectronic applications. Air-stable structures have been reported\, but most require lengthy synthetic sequences with limited generality. Our lab has developed a concise strategy for rapidly accessing a variety of bisphenalenyls from commercial starting materials. We used this method to synthesize a neutral biradicaloid\, Ph2–s-IDPL\, and several novel heteroatom-substituted\, π-radical cations. One such molecule is O-substituted (Ph2-PCPL)(OTf)\, which displays electrostatically-enhanced\, intermolecular covalent-bonding interactions that impart remarkable charge transport properties. Specifically\, we have discovered that mixing soluble PCPL derivatives with polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) enables the formation of water-processable\, n-type conductive organic films that demonstrate high optical transparency (>94% transmission)\, electrical conductivity (σrt < 117 S/cm)\, and electron mobility (μe < 322 cm2 V-1 s-1). In these composites\, PSS not only serves as a counterion\, but also promotes n-doping and solution-phase aggregation\, which leads to molecular ordering in solid-state. We have also discovered a N-substituted\, red emissive\, π-radical cation [(Ph2-PQPL)(OTf)] that is structurally distinct from all other luminescent radicals\, and achieves rare antiambipolar charge transport in field-effect transistors. N-substituted bisphenalenyls also display self-sensitized and reversible reactivity with dioxygen that shows potential for use in colorimetric oxygen sensors and for on-demand singlet oxygen release. \nBio: \nMark Chen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Lehigh University. He received his B.A. and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard University with M.-Christina White developing catalytic C-H bond oxidation methodologies. As a Dreyfus postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Jean Fréchet at U. C. Berkeley\, he led a team developing polymeric and molecular materials for organic electronic devices. Since coming to Lehigh University\, the Chen Lab has investigated the synthesis of open-shell organic molecules and their application to optoelectronic materials and devices. Mark is the recipient of several awards\, including a Kaufman Foundation New Investigator Award (2015) and NSF CAREER Award (2021). \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the zoom link to attend remotely.

SUMMARY:Development of micro-magnets for bio-medical applications
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nNora M. Dempsey \nUniv. Grenoble Alpes\, CNRS\, Grenoble INP\, Institut NEEL\, 38000 Grenoble\, France \nAbstract: \nMagnetic flux sources are used to manipulate biological entities (cells\, embryos\, DNA\, proteins…). The magnetic field gradients produced by a flux source scales up as its size is decreased\, resulting in increased force per unit volume. Hard magnetic flux sources are particularly interesting for compact and / or portable applications while the force produced by soft magnetic flux sources on a target object are easily varied.  There is thus great potential for using both hard and soft micro-magnets as flux sources in biology and medicine. \nIn this talk I will briefly review our work on the development and micro-patterning of magnetic films\, in particular Rare Earth – Transition Metal hard magnetic films\, and the low-cost fabrication of micro-magnet arrays based on powder-polymer composites. I will then give examples of bio-medical applications of the micro-magnets we have developed. To wrap up I will discuss potential uses of high intensity pulsed magnetic field sources in bio-medical applications. \nBiography: \nNora Dempsey received her PhD from Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland\, in 1998. Since then she has been based at Institut Néel\, CNRS Grenoble in France. She works on functional magnetic materials\, with an emphasis on hard magnetic materials in film form. These films are used as model systems to guide the development of bulk magnets\, and also to develop micro-magnets for applications in biology\, medicine\, telecommunications and energy management. \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the remote seminar link.

SUMMARY:MathWorks Week: Climate\, Energy and the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Join MathWorks engineers and Northeastern faculty for these insightful seminars in Climate Change\, Quantum Computing\, and AI. \n\nClimate\, Energy and the Built Environment\nTuesday\, March 1\, 10:30 am – 11:30 am\nRegister: MathWorksNUSymposiumClimate.eventbrite.com \nInsights of climate changes from the Common Era: an Artificial Intelligence view\nJianghao Wang\, MathWorks \nThe rapid global warming seen in observations over the past 150 years shows nearly global coherence\, the spatiotemporal coherence of climate epochs earlier in the Common Era (the past 2\,000 years)\, however\, has yet to be robustly tested. Understanding how the climate system works and how historical temperature changes shed light on the study of anthropogenic climate change. \nModeling the Stochastic Dynamics of Rotating Wind Turbine Blades\nLuca Caracoglia\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation describes the results of recent research activities\, examining the dynamic modeling of wind turbine blades under the influence of various sources of input error and noise. The presentation will focus on the flutter phenomenon. Flutter is a flow-induced dynamic instability that results from the coupling between flap-wise bending mode and torsional mode of the rotating blade. \nLocating Damage in Structural Systems\nDennis Bernal\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation outlines the basic ideas behind some techniques used to localize damage applicable in cases where the structure is large\, and the number of sensors is small. Visual inspection has been the traditional procedure used to check the condition of structural systems but there is significant interest in devising ways to replace or enhance this approach by incorporating information from sensors.

SUMMARY:Accelerating the Transition to Carbon Neutrality
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nMadga Barecka\, Ph.D. \nPost-Doc at University of Cambridge\, Research Centre in Singapore \nAbstract \nTransition to Net Zero 2050 requires immediate and drastic changes in the current manufacturing methods. This transformation is difficult to realize without disrupting the existing industries and putting at risk the delivery of the products that our society relies on. To address this challenge\, I proposed an alternative approach: use of novel\, carbon-neutral technologies such as CO2 electrolysis as a retrofit\, which operates in parallel to an existing chemical plant\, can be installed with a minimum disruption to the ongoing manufacturing activities and leads to a meaningful reduction of the carbon footprint. This technology\, Carbon Capture On-site Recycling\, will be illustrated with examples of several chemical manufacturing processes\, where\, if fully deployed\, it could allow to save annually up to 10 Gt of CO2 emissions by 2050. \nThis work is a part of my broader vision on disrupting the global carbon cycle through both discovery and scaling of circular production methods for chemical\, pharmaceutical and environmental sectors. How to encourage the industry to change and adopt innovative technologies? How to functionally reproduce photosynthesis to deliver carbon neutral chemicals? How to improve the access to medicines for those most exposed to distribution injustice? In my talk\, I will discuss my current and future research that will significantly contribute to answering these questions. \nBio \nDr. Magda H. Barecka is a Post-Doc at University of Cambridge\, Research Centre in Singapore. She is interested in accelerating the adoption of CO2 conversion\, powered by renewable energy\, and the development of economically viable and scalable carbon neutral production methods. Dr. Barecka holds a PhD degree from TU Dortmund University (Germany) and was the first PhD candidate to be awarded the title as a Double Diploma certificated together with Lodz University Technology (Poland). She is a chemical engineer with expertise in process intensification\, retrofitting and design\, developed in academia and private sector. As a part of her PhD thesis\, she developed a methodology supporting implementation of intensified technologies in the chemical manufacturing\, which was transferred to Industry (Processium company\, France/Brazil). After the completion of her PhD\, she joined pharmaceutical/fine chemicals sector in Switzerland and worked on the design of manufacturing lines\, as well as established collaborations with Academia towards the development of algorithms accelerating process development. After this\, she came back to the research sector to deploy her process design experience in the field of carbon capture and utilization. Dr. Barecka is currently working in the intersection of CO2 electrolysis process design\, reaction optimization\, integration with renewable energy sources\, and techno-economic analysis for CO2-based manufacturing methods that can disrupt the carbon cycle. \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the remote seminar link.

SUMMARY:Capture and Conversion of CO2 – Towards CO2 Recycling
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nJuliana Carnerio\, Ph.D \nPostdoctoral Research Fellow \nSchool of Chemical Engineering & Biomolecular Engineering\, Georgia Institute of Technology \nAbstract: \nOur current global fossil-based economy produces significant environmental\, economic\, and social challenges. Such complex challenges are the defining issues of our time\, pushing society toward stepwise decarbonization of our energy and consumption economy. Ideally\, the aim is a more just and reliable economy\, with minimal social and environmental burdens and the redistribution of economic and environmental benefits. To this end\, a circular carbon economy – which integrates energy\, chemical\, and waste management sectors – offers an opportunity to rethink our linear model. With the CO2 recycling system playing a central role in this proposed model\, the scientific community responds with efforts in R&D to create a suite of CO2 mining and utilization technologies. \nIn the first part of my talk\, I will tackle the electrochemical conversion of CO2 at an elevated temperature regime\, using Reversible Solid Oxide Electrochemical Cells (RSOECs). The optimization of the performance of the oxygen and fuel electrodes in these cells has been hindered by the limited understanding of the factors that govern the O2 and CO2 chemistries. As such\, I will discuss our efforts toward developing design principles for the identification of optimal electrocatalysts for these electrode reactions. We used a combination of theoretical calculations\, controlled synthesis\, advanced characterization\, and testing to show that the binding energy of atomic oxygen can be used as an activity descriptor for these processes. It was found that a compromise in the oxophilicity of the electrocatalyst was required to achieve optimal activity and stability. Our theory-guided design principles successfully identified: (i) Cobalt-doped La2NiO4 as a highly active material for O2 electrocatalysis\, and (ii) Fe\, the most oxophilic metal tested\, as a highly active metal for CO2 electrochemical reduction. However\, Fe exhibited unstable electrochemical behaviors induced by the oxidation of the metal under electrochemical CO2 reduction conditions in SOECs. This phenomenon ratifies the importance of the strength of oxygen binding on the electrocatalyst surface as a descriptor of activity and stability for CO2 electrolysis in SOECs. \nIn the second part of my talk\, I will highlight our work on adsorptive materials for the direct air capture (DAC) of atmospheric CO2. We explore the role of atmospheric humidity as an essential stability parameter for DAC processes employing solid amine adsorbents. We demonstrate this by using prototypical class 1 aminopolymer-type solid sorbents that allow for flexibility in the support use. Sorbent deactivation was investigated by means of several complementary factors\, including (i) the relative loss in amine efficiency determined via time-course CO2 sorption\, (ii) elemental analysis\, and (iii) in situ IR spectroscopy to obtain an understanding of the role of water on the sorbent degradation process. Our findings provide important insights into the relevant parameters that impact the effective design of DAC sorbents and processes for different climatic environments\, allowing tailoring of sorbent formulations to overcome the challenges associated with highly varied conditions in which a DAC process must operate. \nBio: \nDr. Juliana Carneiro is a postdoctoral research fellow in the School of Chemical Engineering & Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology with Professor Christopher W Jones. She received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Wayne State University in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Eranda Nikolla. Her research interests lie in developing active\, selective\, and stable electrocatalysis for electrochemical conversion and separation processes\, including the electrochemical recycling/upcycling of post-consumer plastics\, the capture and storage of CO2 from oceans\, and the capture and conversion of atmospheric CO2. She is the recipient of several awards\, including\, but not limited to the 2017-2018 Ralph H. Kummler Award for Distinguished Achievement in Graduate Student Research\, 2018 Women’s Initiatives Committee’s (WIC) AIChE Travel Award\, and the prestigious Student Presentation Awards at the (i) Gordon Research Conference on Catalysis\, (ii) the Michigan Catalysis Society.
