SUMMARY:TexTalks: Bioinspired ideas for Sustainable Separations
DESCRIPTION:Membranes are rapidly becoming the fastest growing platform for many process applications in water treatment\, process industries\, pharmaceutical manufacturing and food processing. This talk will present ideas for bioinspired separations that could enable difficult separations while reducing the impact on the environment by reducing energy input\, both embedded and operational. All synthetic membranes (and indeed most separation processes) have selectivity-permeability tradeoffs\, i.e. if a membrane has high permeability\, it will have a lower selectivity between two solutes or between a solute and a solvent. In molecular separation dense membranes\, separation is due to the mechanism of solution-diffusion through a wide distribution of free volume elements which is responsible for the trade-off. A simple solution\, in concept\, to such a challenge is to do what nature does – design precise angstrom to micron scale pores or free volume elements with no polydispersity. We will discuss bioinspired ideas\, and its realization in our lab\, and possible applications of such an ideal membrane based on biological protein channels and artificial channels that mimic their structure. We will also describe an ongoing project in our lab to create interfacially polymerized channel-based membranes for highly selective gas separations and other applications.

SUMMARY:TexTalks Webinar with Dr. Peter Stone
DESCRIPTION:For robots to operate robustly in dynamic\, uncertain environments\, we are still in need of multidisciplinary research advances in many areas such as computer vision\, tactile sensing\, compliant motion\, manipulation\, locomotion\, high-level decision-making\, and many others. This talk will focus on two essential capabilities for robust autonomous intelligent robots\, namely online learning from experience\, and the ability to interact with other robots and with people. Examples of theoretically grounded research in these areas will be highlighted\, as well as concrete applications in domains including robot soccer and autonomous driving.

SUMMARY:Texas Engineering TexTalks: Advancing Industry Through Innovation - Michael Webber on Global Energy Trends and Transition Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The worldwide energy sector is going through dramatic shifts in energy demand\, end-uses\, and sources. Population growth and economic growth are driving up total demand. Industrialization\, urbanization\, electrification\, and motorization are changing how we use energy. And a policy push for domestic\, low-carbon and renewable fuels is changing our sources of energy. Join us and Dr. Webber to discuss the big-picture overview of global energy trends mixed in with humorous anecdotes\, historical snippets\, and unexpected examples that will give a surprising look into the future of energy.
