Whitaker HallBeyond the Bulk: Mechanistic Insights into Nanoplastic Release and the Environmental Fate of Polymers

Abstract:
The linear economy of synthetic polymers systematically results in the vast majority of the materials being relegated to landfill accumulation and environmental leakages. With global plastic production projected to triple by mid-century, understanding their environmental fate is paramount. While bulk plastics are visibly persistent, their environmental degradation generates a complex spectrum of highly mobile products, including micro- and nanoplastics (MP/NPs), dissolved carbon, and CO2. Among these, NPs are of particular concern because they readily infiltrate biological tissues and yet remain notoriously difficult to quantify and characterize. Furthermore, because accurate lifetime estimations rely on tracking the mass of full spectrum products, the current scarcity of data across all degradation pathways severely limits these calculations. Such foundational estimations are essential for conducting robust risk and life cycle assessments, ultimately informing science-based policymaking on how we should produce, use, and discard plastics.
In this talk, I will highlight our recent efforts to bridge these knowledge gaps by harmonizing plastic degradation data and advancing the mechanistic understanding of NP release. First, utilizing our comprehensive degradation database harmonized from 300 peer-review articles, I will present our population balance modeling of polystyrene degradation to predict its product mass distribution and MP/NP persistence across extended timescales. Second, I will explore mechanical degradation—a dominant yet understudied mechanism for NP release in terrestrial and coastal environments. Using novel lateral force microscopy-based nanoscratch methods and macroscopic abrasion experiments, I will discuss new release behavior of polyethylene at the single-asperity and sand grain level. I will reveal how factors such as photo-oxidation, normal force, and additive formulation could govern NP release. Finally, our quantitative nanomechanical mapping demonstrates that NPs possess distinct material properties from bulk plastics, challenging the current toxicity studies that largely rely on ideal model nanoplastics. Ultimately, this work advances our understanding and prediction for MP/NP exposure and effects, enabling the early design, selection, and management of polymer materials for responsible environmental outcomes.

Brauer HallOfer Manor, PhD, Chemical Engineering, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa

There is a growing interest in deploying rapid diagnostic platforms at point of care (POC) facilities, such as decentralized clinics, and at domestic environments. However, conventional capillary-driven dynamic-wetting assays remain constrained by slow reaction kinetics, limited sensitivity for low-concentration analytes, and viscous drag when processing viscous physiological matrices such as saliva. To overcome these limitations, we present an experimental and theoretical study utilizing active surface acoustic wave (SAW) microfluidic actuation of mass transport within standard porous nitrocellulose membranes to enable rapid and high-sensitivity detection of salivary biomarkers associated with physiological conditions.

We employ a 20 MHz SAW transducer that leaks ultrasonic energy into a porous nitrocellulose membrane to drive pore-scale mass transport. To realize the physics, we developed an analytical framework that models the porous medium as an ensemble of small, identical cylindrical pores with varied orientations. By evaluating ultrasound induced mass transport through individual pores using the Navier-Stokes equations and spatially averaging the local flow across random pore orientation and membrane thickness, our model establishes that macroscopic transport scales with the ultrasonic power, closely matching experimental observations.

Experimentally, SAW-induced streaming achieves up to a 9-fold increase in advective velocity over passive capillary wicking for pure water and effectively overcomes the viscous resistance of saliva to flow. This enhanced mass transport promotes intra-membrane micro-mixing and intensifies colorimetric reaction kinetics, thereby enabling rapid color-change based detection even at low biomarker-molecule concentrations. Ultimately, this active acoustic platform provides a tunable, robust framework for enhanced POC diagnostic devices and establishes a generalizable protocol for accelerating arbitrary biomarker detection assays.

Green HallLight + Sound: Peering into Brain Function and Energy Metabolism

Exploiting the optical absorption contrast of blood hemoglobin, photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an emerging technology for label-free imaging of the microvasculature, which plays an essential role in supplying oxygen to the biological tissue and maintaining the metabolic activity in vivo. The multi-parametric PAM developed in Dr. Hu’s lab enables, for the first time, comprehensive and quantitative characterization of the microvascular structure, function, and associated tissue oxygen metabolism at the microscopic level. In this seminar, Dr. Hu will present their latest progress on the development of PAM and the integration of PAM with other intravital light microscopy techniques for studying brain function and energy metabolism.

Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds and a Multidimensional Framework for Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality

Abstract
Microorganisms emit hundreds of volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) that serve as chemical signals and metabolic byproducts, yet their contribution to the air we breathe remains poorly constrained because they occur at low levels within complex mixtures. This seminar presents real-time measurements with sub-second resolution and sub-part-per-trillion sensitivity that resolve mVOC responses to microbial taxa, growth phase, substrate, humidity and light. Controlled experiments with environmental bacteria and fungi reveal more than 400 compounds that vary with species and life stage. In damp carpet, dust and drywall, microbial compounds can dominate odor even when non-microbial compounds dominate abundance. Light exposure rapidly shifts fungal emissions of isoprene and other mVOCs without changing total VOC levels, offering a route to detecting active fungi indoors. These findings motivate a multidimensional framework that evaluates abundance, atmospheric reactivity, toxicity, and odor activity (ARTO) rather than concentration alone. Applied to wildfires, fossil fuel extraction, battery gases and volatile chemical products across Texas and California, the ARTO framework shows that sources contributing little to total VOC abundance can dominate odor or toxicity impacts on communities. Emerging directions connecting microbial, environmental and human volatilomes are also discussed.

Duncan | Allan Thomas at Preston M. Green HallManaging Uncertainty During Image-Guided Procedures: Image Utility Versus Image Quality

Task-based assessment of image quality assumes a familiar arrangement: an image is acquired, and later, someone else uses it to answer a question. Image-guided procedures break all three parts of that assumption. The operator acquires the image, immediately analyzes it, and uses it not to classify a state but to choose the next action. Under those conditions the relevant question is no longer how good the image is, but whether it was sufficient — and sufficiency is a property of the image, the task, the operator, and the control loop taken together.

We contend that this makes image-guided intervention an unusually clean natural experiment for imaging science. Every acquisition is a deliberate, costed sensing action: fluoroscopic dose can be metered, logged in the radiation dose structured report, and time-stamped alongside a video of the procedure itself. Because the loop is observable, adequacy can be inferred indirectly from what the operator did next — advance, re-image, reangle the C-arm, or abandon the plan and switch tools.

Using patient procedure with synchronized dose and video records, we will develop a procedure-level figure of merit — procedural success at minimum justified cost. We close with a measurement agenda and open problems where imaging science and engineering could contribute directly.

Live, label-free microscopy reveals cellular metabolism and dynamics in a way largely orthogonal to other biomedical imaging modalities. The ultimate dream is to directly phenotype cells in living patients for intraoperative imaging, ICU monitoring, and point-of-procedure screening. However, the gift of subcellular resolution and intrinsic contrast comes at the cost of depth, speed, and molecular specificity. This talk presents our recent efforts of pushing these limits by squeezing information from each pulse in the major sequences of imaging, i.e., illumination, detection, and computation. These include nonlinear fiber shaping and self-localized pencil beam for light delivery, single-pulse fluorescence lifetime microscopy for photon-efficient detection, and microenvironment-aware distillation (MAD) for phenotype decoding. I will show how these methods together enable studies of drug trafficking, nucleolar dynamics, and immune cell phenotyping, and discuss a path towards richer, faster measurements in living biological systems.

A Retrospective of UW-Madison’s Discoveries on Nitrification in Drinking Water Systems

Abstract
Nitrification is a common concern for those drinking water systems that deploy chloramines for distribution system disinfection. Chloramines are deployed in systems that are either unable to maintain a free chlorine residual or produce unacceptable concentrations of chlorine byproducts. Chloramines are created by the reaction of free chlorine and ammonia, with ammonia often added in excess of stoichiometric need. In addition, ammonia is released as chloramines degrade. If present, ammonia oxidizing bacteria convert ammonia to nitrite, which consumes chloramines. This leads to loss of disinfectant residual and the potential for public health risk. This presentation will offer a retrospective view of UW-Madison’s decade of award-winning research on this topic, with contributions ranging from fundamental science to engineering application.

Short Biography
Greg Harrington is department chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, where he has been since 1996. Administrative accomplishments include the creation of the university’s undergraduate degree in environmental engineering. His research and teaching interests include drinking water treatment, distribution, energy use and regulatory policy. Greg also has 4 years of experience as a consulting engineer, having participated in design projects and numerous bench-scale, and pilot-scale studies for systems ranging in size from 1 to 1,000 million gallons per day. He has also participated in the development of federal regulations for control of disinfectants and disinfection byproducts. Finally, Greg served from 2000 to 2011 on the Board of the Madison Water Utility, with the latter two years as its president. His experience in research, teaching, practice, utility governance, and regulatory development give him a broad perspective of the issues involved in the drinking water industry.

Brauer HallSophie Wang, PhD, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Frost accumulation on heat-transfer surfaces poses serious challenges for air-source heat-pump systems. The low-thermal-conductivity frost layer reduces heat transfer and blocks air flow, increasing air-side fan power requirements. For most heat-pump systems, a routine reverse-cycle defrosting operation is used, which not only adds power consumption but also interrupts the heat supply and undermines indoor thermal comfort. In this talk, I will present solutions from two different angles: (1) Delaying or slowing frost formation via surface features - Passive icing control through surface design techniques, such as hydrophobic coatings and roughness, has been proved effective in delaying frost formation. However, most prior work has used a recipe-based approach, without careful recognition of the condensation and freezing dynamics. I will describe the underlying mechanisms by which ice initiation and propagation can be promoted or impeded using surface micro/nano-features along with wettability. Together with a general model of frost growth that includes these surface effects, this work can provide guidelines for surface design; and (2) Sensing real-time frost properties with flexible sensors for defrost control - Given enough time or severe enough conditions, frost will eventually nucleate and build up, and how to control the defrosting process is important for overall system efficiency and indoor thermal comfort. In this part, I will introduce different versions of capacitance sensors developed in our lab. The first-generation sensor, with careful calibration, can precisely capture frost growth dynamics after initiation, including how parameters such as frost thickness, frost density, and frost growth rate evolve as the frost layer grows. The second-generation sensor can capture the whole process from condensation and ice nucleation to mature frost growth. These flexible sensors can serve for both model validation and defrost control for high-efficiency heat-pump systems.

Whitaker HallRobust Deep Learning Models for Imaging Inverse Problems

Modern imaging problems increasingly rely on deep generative models, including score-based and flow-matching models, as well as neural networks used as implicit priors. Although these methods can produce high-quality reconstructions, their reliability may deteriorate when deployment conditions differ from those encountered during training. Such changes may affect the image distribution, the measurement process, or other characteristics of the imaging problem. This work investigates the impact of these mismatches on reconstruction algorithms and their performance. It develops theoretical tools for understanding their consequences, algorithms for detecting distribution shifts, and strategies for correcting or mitigating their effects. It also introduces frameworks for designing imaging methods that remain reliable and robust under changing conditions. Together, these contributions support the development of trustworthy learning-based imaging systems for real-world applications.
