SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment in Policy Making for Waste Management: the Case Study of Textile Waste in Lombardy
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 21 gennaio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Samuele Abagnato condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment in Policy Making for Waste Management: the Case Study of Textile Waste in Lombardy”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nProper planning of waste management systems for textiles is crucial to reduce the environmental impacts of textile sector. To support policy-making in Lombardy region\, first\, a Material Flow Analysis (MFA) of the region’s textile waste streams was conducted\, and municipal textile waste generation data of the Lombardy’s municipalities were analysed. Then\, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is applied to the textile waste management system of Lombardy region to quantify its environmental impacts and assess whether increased circularity leads to reduced impacts. The feasibility of applying LCA to textile waste management was explored in scientific literature\, and the current state of recycling technologies is discussed. LCA was applied to the management of post-consumer textile waste in Lombardy\, and some preliminary results are shown. \nSpeaker’s bio \nSamuele obtained the master’s degree in environmental engineering at the University of Bologna in 2021\, with a thesis about the application of life cycle assessment to carbon capture from flue gas. Then he spent one year as research fellow focusing on flue gas treatments for waste to energy plants. In 2022 he started his phd journey at Politecnico di Milano (38th cycle). His research project\, in collaboration with Regione Lombardia\, is focused on textile waste management in the context of Lombardy region\, with the aim to develop analyses to support policy making and public policies at the regional scale about waste management. \nIn his free time\, he loves playing (and watching) basketball\, he is interested in culture and politics\, and in a lot of other things that we do not have the time to list here.

SUMMARY:Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 10 Gennaio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A) dalle ore 14:30 dal titolo “Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Dott. Claus Claeys (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). \nInoltre il seminario potrà essere seguito tramite Webex al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nMetamaterials (MMs) have emerged as promising noise and vibration solutions which enable reconciling the often conflicting requirements of low mass and volume and high noise and vibration attenuation. Their superior performance arises from stop bands\, being frequency ranges of strong noise and vibration reduction\, which result from the addition or inclusion of locally resonant structures on or into a host structure on a sub-wavelength scale. Although their potential has been widely evidenced in a variety of (academic) demonstrators the manufacturing of MMs is far from mature while their performance is mostly limited to narrowband noise and vibration reduction. In view of merging the need for mass-manufacturable integrated MM solutions with the opportunity of broadening MM performance by embedding smart inclusions\, the mass- production process injection moulding comes to the fore: a wide range of polymer products is currently already injection moulded\, while the technology is particularly suitable to produce hybrid parts with embedded inclusions in a highly automated fashion through the process of insert moulding. Additionally\, designs are commonly obtained on a trial-and-error basis or with expert knowledge. To automate this design process and obtain high performant metamaterial designs\, optimization routines are important enablers. Topology optimization has shown its potential to achieve designs in many mechanical applications which outperform the state-of-the-art in terms of performance such as stiffness or strength\, but also for noise insulation. Optimized structures are discussed in this presentation\, together with first steps towards accounting for actual manufacturing constraints. \n

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | A downscaling method based on wet spell and analysis of future climate variation under CMIP6 Scenarios in Upper Yangtze River Basin\, China
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 19 novembre nell’aula Grandori (Edificio 4)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Xu Han condurrà un seminario dal titolo “A downscaling method based on wet spell and analysis of future climate variation under CMIP6 Scenarios in Upper Yangtze River Basin\, China”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nAccording to recent studies\, the past decade was the hottest on record\, and climate change is speeding up. As the largest basin\, and the primary source of hydropower in China\, the impact of climate change on the Upper Yangtze river Basin (UYRB) is particularly crucial. We downscaled GCMs’ outputs of precipitation (wet/dry spells considered to reduce GCMS wet days overestimation) and temperature projections (2024-2100)\, under four typical Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)\, and we pursued a trend analysis on these potential future climate projections. We found significant trends of precipitation in all months\, unless for August\, across all socioeconomic pathways. This could lead to future heatwaves\, and droughts. Additionally\, for SSP370 and SSP585\, there were no significant trends of precipitation in December\, but there were significant upward trends in temperature. This may result in drier winters than now\, increased potential evapotranspiration\, and reduced surface (snow) water storage\, impacting water resources availability. Consecutive dry/wet days at station\, and basin scale show spatial-temporal heterogeneity\, but generally wet spells are longer\, and dry spells shorten moving from S-E to N-W. In addition\, we carried out a comprehensive evaluation of past (1980-2014) monthly\, and annual climate output of chosen models. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMy name is Xu Han\, my hometown is in Handan\, northern China\, not far from Beijing. I came to Italy to study in 2021. My research is mainly related to meteorology and hydrology\, specifically climate change\, model evaluation\, downscaling methods\, extreme weather\, etc. \nI like traveling\, music\, movies\, running

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Innovative Inertial MEMS: Micro-Systems for Motion Detection for New Fabrication Process
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 12 novembre nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Yassine Banani condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Innovative Inertial MEMS: Micro-Systems for Motion Detection for New Fabrication Process”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nNavigation in environments without external references -such as open oceans or airspace above clouds- requires devices that can measure motion without the need to communicate directly with the outside world. This problem has found a solution in devices based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. In particular\, MEMS inertial sensors are now the most widely used option for accurately and reliably measuring accelerations and changes in orientation of an object in space. Due to their ability to detect motion and changes in orientation without the need for GPS signal or other external systems. MEMS devices are increasingly being applied in various fields\, from air and sea navigation to autonomous vehicles. In this presentation we propose innovative devices that take advantage of a new fabrication process to achieve high performance and reliability in measurements. \nSpeaker’s bio \nYassine holds an MSc in Civil Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, in 2020. He is currently a PhD candidate in Structural\, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (38th cycle). His research focuses on the design and numerical simulation of innovative MEMS(Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors and actuators for a new fabrication process. \nIn his free time\, he enjoys reading\, traveling with friends and eating pasta.

SUMMARY:Stabilità di Alberi: esperienze\, casi di studio e innovazioni da professionisti e ricercatori
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 25 ottobre\, a partire dalle ore 9:45\, presso l’aula Grandori (edificio 4\, piano seminterrato)\, si terrà una giornata di studio intitolata “Stabilità di alberi: esperienze\, casi di studio e innovazioni da professionisti e ricercatori”. \nA seguire la locandina con il programma completo. La partecipazione è gratuita\, ma con iscrizione obbligatoria al seguente link (posti limitati a 60 persone): Iscriviti qui. \n\n\nAbstract\nLa cura del verde\, la creazione e lo sviluppo di nuove aree alberate\, la protezione del patrimonio arboreo sono argomenti di rilevante interesse per tutti gli attori impegnati – a vari livelli – sul territorio\, tanto in ambito urbano quanto extraurbano e/o forestale. Gli eventi meteorologici estremi (in evidente e preoccupante crescita\, sia in frequenza che in intensità\, e che hanno purtroppo visto anche Milano come teatro di numerosi episodi di schianti e collassi) impattano sul “sistema albero” con particolare violenza. Venti forti\, piogge intense\, prolungati periodi di siccità\, dal punto di vista tecnico-ingegneristico rappresentano situazioni – una volta ritenute rare\, e quindi associate a bassi livelli di rischio – che oggi richiedono un approfondimento delle attuali conoscenze. La giornata di studio\, promossa dal dottorato di ricerca in Ingegneria Strutturale\, Sismica e Geotecnica del Politecnico di Milano vuole mettere l’accento sul carattere fortemente interdisciplinare e intersettoriale della problematica\, raccogliendo esperienze da parte di professionisti e tecnici\, per metterle a sistema con i risultati e gli orientamenti della attuale ricerca sviluppata nell’ambito del corso di dottorato al Politecnico e presso altri Atenei.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | AQUA-LIDAR: A novel and open source semi-automatic workflow for LiDAR DSM reconstruction in aquatic scenarios
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 15 ottobre nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Erika Piaser condurrà un seminario dal titolo “AQUA-LIDAR: A novel and open source semi-automatic workflow for LiDAR DSM reconstruction in aquatic scenarios”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nThe need for high-resolution\, three-dimensional water surface mapping in coastal environments is critical for accurately assessing the intricate interactions between environmental dynamics and anthropogenic activities. Traditional optical sensors struggle in providing accurate and complete digital surface models (DSMs) at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Single-wavelength LiDAR\, though useful for generating 3D point clouds\, results in laser dropouts over water bodies\, due to strong absorption of water in the near-infrared spectrum. AQUA-LIDAR is a four step semi-automatic workflow for high-resolution DSM reconstruction in aquatic environments\, using unsupervised machine learning and LiDAR-derived features. The proposed workflow was evaluated over six different\, real-world aquatic scenarios representing a range of challenging conditions. \nSpeaker’s bio \nErika holds an MSc in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, in 2020. She is currently a PhD candidate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (37th cycle) and has recently completed a four-year research fellowship with the Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment\, part of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-IREA). \nHer research focuses on a range of Earth Observation applications for monitoring wetlands and aquatic environments at different scales. Specifically\, she is mainly working on addressing ultra-high resolution UAV radiometric and geometric distortions on aquatic vegetation. \nIn her free time\, she enjoys watercolour painting and hiking up in the mountains with friends\, always fueled by her passion for polenta.

SUMMARY:Cognitive dynamical systems: Talking structures\, smart nano-robots and the limits of green computers
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 3 luglio alle ore 11:30 presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4\, piano seminterrato\, piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Cognitive dynamical systems: Talking structures\, smart nano-robots and the limits of green computers“\, tenuto da Marc Serra-Garcia (tenure-track group leader at the AMOLF institute on the physics of complex matter in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands). \nAbstract \nThe dynamic response of elastic structures can be very complex; surprising us with instabilities\, parametric resonances and chaotic dynamics. This complexity is responsible for unpredictable failure mechanisms and numerical modelling challenges. But could we use the richness of behaviour to our advantage? Can we design structures that solve problems using solid mechanics instead of electronics and software? In this talk\, I will show two examples of our recent work in cognitive elastic structures. First\, I will present a passive device that recognises spoken commands\, built by implementing machine-learning models in networks of elastic resonators. Such structure can detect relevant events (e.g. someone saying ‘OK Google’) while consuming zero standby power\, opening the door to smart devices (pacemakers\, sensors\, smart speakers) that do not require batteries to operate. Second\, I will show a mass-spring system that executes an algorithm to find the exit of a maze\, generated automatically from from a text description of the desired behaviour — written in a ‘mechanical programming language’. Such structure could one day form the basis for smart robots with no control electronics. A strong point of intelligent elastic structures is their high energy efficiency. At the microscopic scale\, thermodynamics restricts the computations that we can we perform\, given a fixed amount of input energy. To conclude the talk\, I will briefly show our recent simulations on the scaling-down of elastic intelligent structures. Our result suggests that\, while regular electronic computers consume around four orders of magnitude more power than fundamentally necessary\, the thermodynamically-limited regime may be accessible to smart elastic structures within the capabilities of current fabrication technology. While mechanical forms of information technology will most likely not replace electronics in general purpose computers\, the ability to function without a battery\, transducers or toxic materials makes cognitive mechanics a promising solution for a remarkable number of problems and use cases — such as implantable sensors\, zero-power IoT devices and other power or size constrained applications. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMarc Serra-Garcia is a tenure-track group leader at the AMOLF institute on the physics of complex matter in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands — A position he took after his studies at Caltech and ETH Zurich. His research focuses on developing elastic structures with novel functionalities by combining advanced design algorithms and precision microfabrication with insights from fundamental physics. His work includes the invention of a nonlinear system that extracts energy from random vibrations\, the demonstration of wave-controlling materials based on topological insulators\, and\, currently\, the development of elastic computing structures — from speech classifiers to entirely-mechanical microprocessors; area of research that has recently been recognised by an ERC Starting grant.

SUMMARY:A Bottom-Up approach to foster low carbon UHPC floors
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 28 giugno alle ore 11:45 presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4\, piano seminterrato\, piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) si terrà un seminario dal titolo “A Bottom-Up approach to foster low carbon UHPC floors“\, tenuto dal Prof. Luca Sorelli (Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile\, Università Laval – Canada). \nAbstract \nReducing carbon footprints in residential floors involves optimizing design and selecting eco-friendly materials. This presentation showcases Université Laval’s ongoing efforts to develop low-cement ultra-high-performance concrete with minimal embodied carbon\, achieved by substituting cement with mineral fillers and develop efficient structural solutions. The research methodology encompasses microindentation studies\, material property enhancements\, and optimized floor designs. The results feature eco-UHPC ribbed precast floors and composite floors with timber\, offering both reduced carbon footprints and lighter weight\, thereby providing sustainability solutions for construction practices.

SUMMARY:Breaking the stigma on academic mental health
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 11 giugno alle ore 16:00 presso l’aula Grandori (Building 4\, piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Breaking the stigma on academic mental health“\, tenuto dal Dr. Stefano Zucca (Marie-Curie Post-Doctoral Fellow\, Università di Torino). \nAbstract \nMental health and wellbeing in academia has recently been the focus of global investigations\, with several studies\, surveys and initiatives highlighting high level of stress and poor working conditions among researchers. In particular\, different studies found early-stage researchers to be at the highest risk of developing mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression. In this talk I will give an overview of the current academic environment using published studies. Through examples\, data and interactive discussion\, I will highlight the main common stressors among early-stage researchers\, providing ideas of possible strategies to improve mental health and wellbeing at work. \nSpeaker’s bio \nStefano is a neuroscientist interested in understanding how our brain integrates and uses sensory information from the outside world to guide our instinctive responses. He obtained a PhD in Neuroscience and Brain Technologies in Italy\, at the Italian Institute of Technology. He did a postdoc in the department of Experimental Psychology at University College London (UCL) and he is now a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at University of Turin. In the past years he has been involved in activities aimed in raising awareness and promoting discussion about Mental Health in academia. In 2019 he became a Mental Health First Aider. In 2020 he developed and implemented at UCL a scheme based on coaching skills to support researchers and improve their well-being. He has delivered several talks and workshops at national and international conferences speaking about stress in academic environments. Stefano strongly believes in the importance of expanding and improving the dialog on academic mental health across all career stages in research. Only by acting all together it will be possible to build a better and more supportive research culture.

SUMMARY:Air pollution health impacts & implications for environmental justice
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 11 giugno alle ore 11:30 presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4\, piano seminterrato\, piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Air pollution health impacts & implications for environmental justice“\, tenuto dalla Prof.ssa Paola Crippa (Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame). \nSarà anche possibile seguire l’evento da remoto tramite il seguente link. \nAbstract \nImplementing effective policy to protect human health from the adverse effects of air pollution\, such as premature mortality\, requires reducing the uncertainty in health outcomes models. \nThe main limitation of traditional uncertainty assessments is considering the pollutants fields (e.g.\, particulate matter finer than 2.5µm\, PM2.5) from air quality models as deterministic\, while using the uncertainty in exposure-response functions to estimate confidence intervals in the mortality estimates. However\, PM2.5 fields from air quality models are far from being perfectly known. To overcome this limitation\, I will illustrate a data assimilation framework that incorporates ground observations from air quality networks to (i) improve the reliability of the PM2.5 concentrations\, and to (ii) calculate the spatially-explicit variance of the PM2.5. I will discuss how the uncertainty from exposure-response functions and PM2.5 fields can be combined to estimate the overall uncertainty in mortality estimates and show that the associated confidence intervals are much wider than previously reported. I will illustrate such methodology on two case studies\, the first one focused on estimating recent trends of premature mortality burden in China and the second one on computing health benefits related to COVID-19 lockdowns during 2020 in China and Europe. \nIn the second part of this talk\, I will present a novel method to reduce mortality uncertainty by varying the amount of health and/or pollution data and employing information yield curves to identify which variables more effectively reduce uncertainty when increasing information. I will apply this method to a real case study for short-term PM2.5 mortality in North Carolina.  I will also consider the environmental justice implications of increased information in the assessment\, as both pollution and epidemiology data tend to be scarcer for communities in rural areas and/or of low socio-economic status. \nSpeaker’s bio \nPaola Crippa is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. Among her recognitions\, in 2015 she was awarded the L’Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland Fellowship For Women In Science to investigate the societal impacts of wildfires in South-East Asia and in 2023 the NSF CAREER award on multiscale model simulations. Her research focuses on investigating the spatio-temporal variability of atmospheric aerosols and associated impacts on human health and climate by using high resolution numerical models\, as well as on coupled meso- to micro-scale simulations for a variety of engineering applications in the atmospheric boundary layer.

SUMMARY:Strategies and construction materials to build a more sustainable future
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 29 maggio alle ore 11:30 presso l’aula Fassò (Building 4A\, piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Strategies and construction materials to build a more sustainable future“\, tenuto da Belén González-Fonteboa e da Sindy Seara-Paz (University of A Coruña\, Spain). \nAbstract \nEnvironmental degradation is one of the biggest problems mankind must confront. In the last decades\, concerns about the environment have risen in developed world societies. In this context\, the construction industry is one of the sectors with the highest demand for natural resources being concrete one of the most employed materials worldwide with more than six billion tons fabricated each year. \nDuring the last decades\, different strategies have been used to advance in the field of concrete sustainability. One of them is the design of concrete mixes with alternative raw materials sourced from industrial waste. In this context\, many recycled concretes have been explored incorporating different types of recycled aggregates: construction and demolition wastes\, mussel shells\, tyre rubber\, coal bottom ash\, wood ash…In addition\, supplementary cementitious materials (by-products from other industrial processes) have been incorporated in the concrete dosages replacing clinker\, i.e. metakaolin\, fly ash\, silica fume\, or different fillers such as granite powder\, biomass ash\, or wood ash. \nOn the other hand\, it is generally agreed that frequent repairs of civil infrastructure over their service life is unsustainable. The extension of the service life of a concrete structure will contribute to its sustainability. Within the frame of this strategy\, the development high high-performance concretes such as self-compacting concrete\, self-healing concrete (designed with autogenous or autonomous healing)\, fibre-reinforced concrete and more recently 3D printing concrete have emerged as a challenge in the construction field. \nThe combination of both these strategies is also being explored. Self-compacting or 3D printing recycled concrete\, self-healing concrete incorporating bacteria and recycled porous aggregate as internal curing water reservoirs or self-compacting fibre-reinforced concrete are some of the most promising concrete for the future. \nFinally\, in parallel to the development of these new concretes\, to suitably characterize them\, it will be necessary to use new advanced tools and techniques. Rheology to define fresh state and thixotropy\, techniques based on digital correlations or the employment of artificial intelligence are some of them. \nSpeaker’s bio \nBelén González-Fonteboa is full professor at the University of A Coruña in Spain and Sindy Seara Paz is Associate professor at the same university. They both are Civil Engineering and their main research lines are related to the analysis of the possibility of recovering by-products in the construction field: mussel shells\, ashes from different industrial activities\, construction and demolition wastes… The studies aim to develop new eco-concretes and mortars using innovative control systems and instrumentation\, highlighting the use of rheology as a new tool to control fresh state behaviour. These research lines have been developed throughout more than 50 competitive research projects and more than 25 contracts with private companies. They have published more than 60 indexed manuscripts and more 15 books or book chapters.

Quanto questa preoccupazione è giustificata? E soprattutto\, come possiamo fare scelte più consapevoli? Sebbene i PFAS siano diventati di recente un argomento di pubblico interesse\, la comunità scientifica li studia da tempo. In questo seminario\, vi condurremo attraverso un viaggio informativo per capire cosa sono i PFAS\, perché sono presenti nelle risorse idriche e come possiamo contribuire a ridurne l’uso e la diffusione nell’ambiente attraverso scelte più consapevoli. Impareremo anche a distinguere tra la “presenza” e la reale “pericolosità” di questi contaminanti nelle acque\, sviluppando capacità critica per valutare la qualità delle informazioni che riceviamo. Infine\, esploreremo il percorso sinergico tra ricerca scientifica e industria per gestire efficacemente questi contaminanti e garantire un’acqua potabile e acque reflue sempre sicure\, per l’uomo e per l’ambiente.

DESCRIPTION:Partecipa giovedì 23 Maggio\, dalle 17:30 alle 18:30\, al seminario condotto dal Prof. Massimiliano Cremonesi nell’ambito del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2024. Il seminario intitolato ‘La simulazione numerica nei film e nei videogiochi‘ sarà trasmesso online via Webex previa iscrizione\, una volta registrati si riceverà via e-mail il link per seguire il seminario. \n\nForm d’iscrizione all’evento\n\nDescrizione attività \nNell’ultimo decennio\, l’industria cinematografica e dei videogiochi è stata rivoluzionata dalla simulazione numerica. I metodi numerici\, originariamente concepiti per risolvere complessi problemi ingegneristici\, sono ora impiegati per la creazione di effetti speciali senza precedenti. Nei film\, vengono simulati fenomeni naturali come esplosioni\, incendi e catastrofi ambientali\, permettendo agli spettatori di immergersi in mondi fantastici e realistici\, generando così una maggiore suspense e coinvolgimento emotivo. Nei videogiochi\, la simulazione numerica è fondamentale per generare ambienti interattivi e dinamici\, rispondendo alle azioni dell’utente in modo sempre più realistico e coinvolgente. Durante questo seminario\, esploreremo non solo come questi effetti speciali vengo creati\, ma anche come con metodologie simili\, si affrontano complessi problemi ingegneristici.

SUMMARY:Overview of LEQUIA’s Adsorption and Drinking Water research lines
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 23 maggio alle ore 14:30 presso l’aula PT1 (Edificio 20) si terrà un seminario di dissemination e networking nell’ambito del progetto europeo safeCREW dal titolo: “Overview of LEQUIA’s Adsorption and Drinking Water research lines“\, tenuto da Alba Cabrera Codony (Laboratory of Chemical and Environmental Engineering\, University of Girona). \nAbstract \nIn this presentation\, we provide a brief overview of various research topics and ongoing projects that are currently going on in LEQUIA’s labs related to Adsorption technologies and to the Drinking Water Treatment. This includes fixed-bed adsorption models\, which are able of capturing the effects of the particle size and molecules diffusion. Also\, our research addresses multicomponent competitive adsorption\, where the displacement of the weakest adsorbed molecule causes increased concentrations. \nThe Drinking Water Treatment and Digitalization research line at LEQUIA-UdG began nine years ago with Dr. Hèctor Monclús and Prof. Manel Poch leading the efforts\, supported by ATL\, a major DW supply company. Since its start\, the research line has experienced significant growth\, securing four major national projects and numerous contracts with the leading DW companies in Catalonia. Three PhD theses have been already completed and four more PhD students are currently in progress\, with a total of four receiving industrial support. We will present the main outcomes of this research to date and discuss ongoing work. \nSpeaker’s bio \nAlba Cabrera-Codony is a research fellow at the LEQUIA-UdG dedicated to addressing environmental challenges specialized in Adsorption and AOPs for air\, gas and water treatment. Her PhD work focused on optimizing Sequential Adsorption/Oxidation processes for siloxane removal in biogas upgrading. She got a postdoctoral MSCA-TecnioSpring grant to conduct a research stay in Boston (USA) at R&D centre of Cabot Corportation\, where she developed innovative adsorbent materials\, focusing on indoor air purification applications and photocatalysis. \nIn the last years she has focused on drinking water treatment\, collaborating with several treatment plants in Catalonia to study Dissolved Organic Matter characteristics\, assess the performance of treatment operations such as AOPs and activated carbon in removing DOM\, and evaluate the potential formation of disinfection by-products.

SUMMARY:DICA4Agenda2030: Proteggiamo l’oro blu
DESCRIPTION:Partecipa martedì 21 Maggio\, dalle 17:30 alle 18:30\, al seminario condotto dalla Prof.ssa Anita Raimondi nell’ambito del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2024. Il seminario intitolato ‘Proteggiamo l’oro blu ‘ sarà trasmesso online via Webex previa iscrizione\, una volta registrati si riceverà via e-mail il link per seguire il seminario. \n\nForm d’iscrizione all’evento\n\nDescrizione attività \nIl legame tra acqua e uomo è essenziale e antico: l’acqua è indispensabile per la vita sulla terra e lo sviluppo delle civiltà. La risorsa idrica va non solo garantita ma anche tutelata perché sia disponibile sia in quantità che qualità adeguate. Le sfide di una crescente urbanizzazione e i cambiamenti climatici richiedono sforzi ulteriori nella gestione e nell’efficientamento del servizio idrico. Limitare le perdite negli acquedotti\, utilizzare risorse idriche alternative per usi non strettamente potabili\, favorire la ricarica degli acquiferi\, proteggere i corpi idrici ricettori dai fenomeni di inquinamento possono essere alcune tra le strategie su cui focalizzare l’attenzione\, in cui l’innovazione tecnologica e la ricerca scientifica possono giocare un ruolo chiave.

SUMMARY:DICA4Agenda2030: Il crollo delle torri gemelle: Ingegneria Strutturale vs. tesi complottiste
DESCRIPTION:Partecipa giovedì 16 Maggio\, dalle 17:30 alle 18:30\, al seminario condotto dal Prof. Enrico Masoero nell’ambito del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2024. Il seminario intitolato ‘Il crollo delle torri gemelle: Ingegneria Strutturale vs. tesi complottiste‘ sarà trasmesso online via Webex previa iscrizione\, una volta registrati si riceverà via e-mail il link per seguire il seminario. \n\nForm d’iscrizione all’evento\n\nDescrizione attività \n11 Settembre 2001: due aerei di linea\, dirottati da terroristi\, si schiantano sulle Torri Gemelle del World Trade Centre\, a New York City. Dopo ore di incendio\, entrambe le torri crollano\, facendo oltre 3000 vittime. L’evento ha trasformato la vita degli Americani e la politica internazionale\, a tal punto da destare sospetti che fossero coinvolti proprio i Servizi Segreti americani. Tra queste tesi complottiste\, il seminario affronterà la più estrema\, cioè che il crollo delle torri sia stato in realtà causato da esplosivi pre-impiantati dai Servizi Segreti negli edifici. Questa idea è nata guardando al modo in cui sono crollate le torri; modo che è difficile spiegare come risultato dell’impatto degli aerei ma che invece ricorda molto il crollo di edifici durante le demolizioni controllate con esplosivo. In questo seminario\, l’analisi strutturale del crollo proverà a dimostrarci che non c’era bisogno di esplosivi: riuscirà a convincerci?

SUMMARY:Simulation of concentrated non-Brownian frictional and adhesive suspensions in linear and nonlinear flows
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 16 maggio alle ore 14:30 presso l’Aula 7.1.3 (Edificio 7 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Simulation of concentrated non-Brownian frictional and adhesive suspensions in linear and nonlinear flows“\, tenuto da Michel Orsi (Postdoctoral Research Associate and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Levich Institute of the City College of New York). \nAbstract \nI present a particle-scale simulation method for non-Brownian suspension flows at low Reynolds number\, based on the Fictitious Domain Method and supplemented by sub-grid lubrication corrections. In their usual form\, sub-grid corrections involve the underlying linear flow. In the present work\, the conditions required to avoid considering this ambient flow while keeping frame indifference are determined\, and a sub-grid correction matrix is built for the particle-particle and particle-wall hydrodynamic interactions such that the mentioned conditions inherently hold. This procedure extends the correct use of such sub-grid corrections to nonlinear flows. Then\, I show the role of adhesive forces in frictional suspensions\, by varying both the intensity of adhesion and the volume fraction: after presenting the difficulties of simulating adhesive suspensions at low volume fractions due to particle depletion at the wall and shear-banding\, I show that the relative viscosity of the suspension is a function of both volume fraction and shear stress. The variation of the viscosity with these two parameters may be understood in the usual frame of suspension jamming\, provided that the jamming volume fraction now depends on the dimensionless suspension stress that involves the adhesive force between particles. The variation of the jamming volume fraction with stress may be interpreted as the variation of the yield stress with volume fraction. This curve separates the plane (volume fraction\, shear stress) into two regions: one in which the suspension flows and the other in which it jams. I continue by investigating the shear-induced particle migration in a pressure-driven channel suspension flow. In such a system\, particles are driven toward the channel center\, resulting in a volume fraction gradient across the channel and a plug region where the jamming volume fraction as measured in shear flow may be exceeded. The flow profile is thus highly nonlinear\, both due to the pressure gradient and the time-varying concentration gradient\, which justifies the use of the present numerical method. I compare the results to a modified version of the Suspension Balance Model\, confirming the well-known limits of such a model in the plug region. Finally\, I thoroughly show that the computed stresses obey the usual momentum balance in the channel: the tangential stress is indeed driven by the pressure gradient as predicted by theory and the second normal stress (parallel to the velocity gradient) does not vary over the channel width\, although contact and hydrodynamic contributions significantly do over both time and space. This confirms the good behavior of the present numerical method when nonlinear flows are tackled. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMichel Orsi got a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering with specialization in Aerodynamics\, both at Politecnico di Milano. To complete his Master’s thesis\, he went to the Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics Laboratory of the Ecole Centrale de Lyon\, where he studied the passive scalar dispersion and mixing in homogeneous isotropic turbulence under the supervision of Pietro Salizzoni\, Maurizio Boffadossi\, and Raffaele Marino. Then\, he joined Elisabeth Lemaire’s group at the Institute of Physics of Nice to pursue a PhD in Physics under the supervision of François Peters and Laurent Lobry\, during which he developed a cutting-edge particle-scale numerical method able to correctly simulate both the full hydrodynamics (short- and long-range) and the direct interactions between the particles. He is now a Postdoctoral Research Associate and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Levich Institute of the City College of New York\, where he is working with Jeff Morris on the direct visualization and mechanical analysis of roller processing of chocolate refining paste and on the rigidity development in shear-thickening dense suspensions.
