Ahmet Emrehan Emre, a biomedical engineering PhD candidate, sandwiches a thin sheet of artificial cartilage between a layer of zinc on top and a layer of manganese oxide underneath to form a battery in the University of Michigan North Campus Research Complex in Ann Arbor, MI on December 21, 2018.
This work is part of a research project led by Nicholas Kotov, the Joseph B and Florence V Cejka Professor of Engineering at U-M. Their team has created a prototype of a zinc structural battery that uses a cartilage-like material as a solid electrolyte, which could be integrated into the structural components of aircraft, cars, and many other vehicles or devices where weight and efficiency are a concern.

Molong Duon and Deokkyun Yoon, both mechanical engineering PhD students, and Chinedum Okwudire, associate professor in mechanical engineering, have developed what they call "filtered b-spline" algorithms to speed up consumer 3-D printers without sacrificing quality.
Desktop 3-D printers often use light and flexible parts to save costs and stay affordable, but this allows for unwanted flexing and vibrations when the movement of the printhead is accelerated. These vibrations can offset the printhead, and because the printer uses a stepper motor, it won't know there is a problem and will keep printing, resulting in an incredibly deformed final product.
The Michigan Engineering researchers developed algorithms that take into account the dynamics of the printer and refine the movement of the printhead and platform to mitigate vibration errors.

Current projects: IR Driven Electron Tunneling, Inverse Ligand Design
Research Description: I study the dynamics of electron tunneling in molecular donor-bridge-acceptor systems.
Electron tunneling is one way for electrons to move from one place to another within the realm of quantum mechanics i.e. electron tunneling is not described by classical mechanics. When an electron is excited from the ground state of a molecule to some excited state, it will eventually relax back down. There may be several steps in the relaxation process and one of these is electron transfer to some other part of the molecule. At low temperatures and/or high energetic barriers between the electron donating part of the molecule and the accepting part, tunneling dominates the transfer process. My work focuses on how interactions between
the tunneling electron and atomic vibrational modes in the molecule can influence the electron transfer rate. Specifically, I look at how the rate changes when vibrational modes are excited by a laser, before and during the electron transfer process. We know these electron-vibron interactions alter the dynamics, but we believe we can promote more electron-vibron interactions by placing the vibrational modes in an excited state, and thereby have some control over the electron transfer process. Electron transfer is ubiquitous in biological systems, but the most promising applications appear to be in artifical photosynthesis for solar energy

USGS and members of the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) embark on the Great Lakes to test out their autonomous underwater vehicle that can conduct image surveys. This image data would then be post-processed with various neural networks to detect and record the numbers of fish and mussels of certain species. This system would then be used to determine the populations of these species across the great lakes.
