BNC Faculty Seminar Series - Presenter: Shriram Ramanathan-Thurs., 3/5 @ 12noon in BRK 2001
by Turner, Jaime J 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Dear all, Shriram Ramanathan<https://shriram-ramanathan.org/?_ga=2.120580936.1380123278.1583157462-12224…>, Professor of Materials Engineering will present this week’s faculty seminar series, Thursday, 3/5 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. The first half will be an overview of research and the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Natural and Artificial Intelligence Abstract: About a decade ago, Toshiyuki Nakagaki et al stunned the scientific world by demonstrating that non-neural organisms can predict periodic events, reminiscent of the Egyptian civilization evolving around the flooding of the river Nile. More recently, studies on Asian monkeys in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park in Thailand have shown that mastering tool-use can affect maturation of shellfish (prey). Such observations in nature force a fundamental re-think of how to design hardware for sustainable AI. I will discuss some ideas on electronic materials synthesis inspired by evolutionary dynamics and their potential relevance in neuromorphic computing. Please find below the BNC Spring Faculty Seminar Series schedule.

Dear all, A gentle reminder that Sunil Bhave<https://engineering.purdue.edu/oxidemems/?_ga=2.69363280.1327244249.1582556…>, Associate Director of Operations for the Birck Nanotechnology Center and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering will present this week’s faculty seminar series TODAY, Thursday, 2/27 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. The first half will be an overview of research and the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Micromachining YIG Abstract: We have designed, fabricated and characterized magnetostatic wave (MSW) resonators by patterning single-crystal ytterbium iron garnet (YIG) films on a gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate and exciting them using loop-inductor transducers. We achieved this technology breakthrough by developing a YIG film etching process and fabricating thick Aluminum CPW inductor loop around each resonator to individually address and excite magnetostatic waves with high coupling efficiency. At 4.77GHz the 0.68mm2 resonator achieves a quality factor (Q) > 5000 with a bias field of 987Oe. We also demonstrate YIG resonator tuning by more than one octave from 3.63GHz to 7.63GHz by applying an in-plane external magnetic field. Our Purdue micromachining technology enables fabrication of multiple single and two-port YIG resonators on the same chip with all resonators demonstrating octave tunability and high Q. I will end the talk by showing our first measurement results of our next generation YIG-on-Insulator technology. The fabrication technique and measurement results are performed by my senior graduate student Sen Dai. Our group works very closely with BAE Systems. Bio: Sunil received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Berkeley in EECS in 1998 and 2004 respectively. In April 2015, he joined the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University where he was recently promoted to Professor. Sunil received the NSF CAREER Award in 2007, the DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2008, the IEEE Ultrasonics Society’s Young Investigator Award in 2014 and the Google Faculty Research Award in 2020. His students have received Best Paper Awards at IEEE Photonics 2012, Ultrasonics 2009 and IEDM 2007. Sunil is a co-founder of Silicon Clocks which was acquired by Silicon Labs in April 2010. Before joining Purdue, Sunil was an associate professor at Cornell for 10 years. Please find below the BNC Spring Faculty Seminar Series schedule.

Dear all, A gentle reminder that Lia Stanciu<https://lia-stanciu.squarespace.com/>, Professor and Associate Head in the School of Materials Engineering will present this week’s faculty seminar series TODAY, Thursday, 2/20 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. The first half will be an overview of research and the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Inkjet Printed Nano-patterned Aptamer-Based Devices for Improved Optical Detection of Foodborne Pathogens Abstract: The increasing incidence of infectious outbreaks imposes a global burden for food safety, creating a market demand for on-site, disposable, easy-to-use and cost-efficient devices. This work aims to provide a cost-efficient, reliable and repeatable approach, for the detection of foodborne pathogens in real samples. We propose for the first time an optimized ink-jet printing platform, using a controlled nano-patterning of novel carboxyl-functionalized aptameric ink on nitrocellulose substrate for the highly efficient detection of E. coli O157:H7 (25 CFU ml-1 in pure culture and 233 CFU ml-1 in ground beef). This technology demonstrates the ability to control the variation within +/-1SD for at least 75% for data collected even at very low concentrations. We reported on the lowest LOD of the state-of-the art for paper-based optical detection of E. coli O157:H7, with enough evidence (p > 0.05) to prove its high specificity at genus, specie, strain and serotype level. Bio: Lia A. Stanciu, Ph.D. is a Professor and Associate Head in the School of Materials Engineering at Purdue University. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemistry from University of Bucharest in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Dr. Stanciu received a Ph.D. in Materials Science&Engineering from University of California Davis in 2003. Dr. Stanciu’s research interests are highly interdisciplinary . Currently, her research is focused two main areas: i. Rational design of materials for sensors and biosensors with applications in the food and water safety and ii/ Understanding the processing-microstructure-properties relationships in ceramics with energy applications. She has published over 100 journal articles, as well as book chapters, patents and conference proceedings. She served as a Chair of one of the largest Materials Research Conferences, MRS Spring Meeting in 2015.

Dear all, A gentle reminder, Guang Lin<https://www.math.purdue.edu/~lin491/>, Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics and School of Mechanical Engineering and Director, Data Science Consulting Service will present this week’s faculty seminar series TODAY, Thursday, 2/13 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. The first half will be an overview of research and the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Uncertainty Quantification and Scientific Machine Learning for Complex Engineering Systems Abstract: Experience suggests that uncertainties often play an important role in quantifying the performance of complex systems. Therefore, uncertainty needs to be treated as a core element in the modeling, simulation, and optimization of complex systems. In this talk, I will first present a review of the novel UQ techniques I developed to conduct stochastic simulations for very large-scale complex systems. First, I will present how to employ deep neural network to build a Processing-Microstructure-Mechanical Properties Relationship. In particular, we will use a fibre-reinforced polymer composite material as an example on predicting stress field based on material’s microstructure and loading condition. In addition, a robust data-driven discovery of physical laws with confidence will be introduced. Discovering governing physical laws from noisy data is a grand challenge in many science and engineering research areas. I will present a new Bayesian approach to data-driven discovery of ODEs and PDEs. The new approach will be demonstrated through a wide range of problems, including Navier–Stokes equations. In addition, solving PDEs and predicting material fracture in a fundamentally different way will be discussed. I will present a new paradigm in solving linear and nonlinear PDEs on varied domains without the use of the classical numerical discretization. Instead, we infer the solution of PDEs using a convolutional neural network with quantified uncertainty. The proposed neural network can predict the solution and its uncertainty simultaneously on-the-fly. Finally, I will introduce a new convolutional neural network named Peri-Net we developed to predict and analyze fracture patterns on a disk in real time. I will present and validate the results using the molecular dynamic collision simulations. Bio: GUANG LIN received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in applied mathematics from Brown University.
