Seminar “Microscale Multi-Phase Flow Technologies for Sustainability, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Nanomaterial Synthesis” by Milad Abolhasani, Ph.D., Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA

ABSTRACT:  Molecular transport spanning multiple phases and drastically different length scales occurs in our daily life and controls our health and surrounding environment; such transport phenomena include greenhouse gas generation from combustion of fossil fuels and drug transport and delivery within the human body.

Seminar - “Insights into Multiphase Flows in Porous Media from Direct Numerical Simulations” by Orest Shardt, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Complex Fluids Group, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University

ABSTRACT:  Lattice Boltzmann methods, due to their amenability to parallelization and ability to handle geometrically complex boundaries, are appealing for simulating flows with particles, droplets, and bubbles when experimental observations and manipulations are not possible. This talk will present recent advances in the use of these methods for simulating droplet coalescence and particle motion in confined geometries.

Seminar “Electrocatalysis in Oxygen Reduction Reaction: New Materials & Understandings for Fuel Cell & Lithium Air Battery Applications” by Di-Jia Liu, Chemical Sciences & Engineering Division, Argonne National Laboratory

ABSTRACT:  Globe warming and energy security are two major challenges the world is facing today. To preserve our environment and energy resource, it is imperative to maximize the utilization of existing fuels while exploring renewable sources. Fuel cell and lithium metal battery as the next-generation high-efficiency energy conversion and storage devices have attracted a great deal of attentions in recent years. This presentation summarizes some recent progresses in my laboratory in these two research areas.
