SUMMARY:Large-scale Renewable Energy Infrastructure Modeling: Application in Sustainable Bioenergy Systems Development\, Apr 20
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: Academic Surge 2050 \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                The transition to a more robust and sustainable energy system faces enormous challenges and requires effective strategies\, policies\, and planning for future expansion of renewable technologies and resources. Opportunities exist to improve overall sustainability and optimize system performance in redesigning energy infrastructure to accommodate greater use of renewables. \n                For example\, in attempting to meet the federal renewable fuel standard (RFS)\, an essentially new sustainable biorefining industry must be created to supply the required amounts of biofuels. To better understand how such an industry might be designed\, a geospatial bioenergy systems model (GBSM) has been developed to investigate the full fuel supply chain optimization. The GBSM combines geographic information system (GIS) models with optimization algorithms to identify potential preferred sites\, resource demand\, technology types\, and facility capacities. \n                The GBSM has been applied to a variety of system analyses at the state\, regional\, and national levels including scenario analysis using the federal Billion Ton study results as well as independent assessments of feedstock supplies. The model optimizes across the entire supply chain from biomass production to delivery of finished product into final demand. The model is also capable of estimating greenhouse gas and other sustainability effects to evaluate potential system level carbon and other environmental impacts. \n                The GBSM is also being integrated with other models such as the bioenergy crop adoption model (BCAM) being developed at UC Davis to better address higher resolution effects at the farm level. Models of this type address a continuing need for spatially explicit assessments of likely impacts from plans and policies relating to sustainable energy development.

SUMMARY:Object-based Audio Reproduction with the SoundScape Renderer\, Apr 19
DESCRIPTION:Matthias will talk about object-based audio reproduction\, which basically means that source signals are stored in a so-called audio scene together with \n                information about their positions\, movements and other parameters. The target system loads such a scene and produces the appropriate output signals in realtime. The advantages and disadvantages in comparison to traditional channel-based reproduction systems will be discussed. \n                The SoundScape Renderer\, an open-source software (for Linux and Mac OSX) for object-based audio reproduction will be presented as well as different ways of how to describe and store spatial audio scenes.

SUMMARY:Using Cell Phones for Biomedical Device Development and Education Applications\, Apr 18
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                As society struggles to continue to make strides in basic biological research and to continue to meet global demand for medical care at decreasing cost\, optical technologies offer compelling solutions by providing detailed chemical and structural information about biological samples\, often without the need for costly chemical consumables or labor and expertise-intensive biopsy procedures. In this talk\, I will present our group’s work to develop and apply novel optical technologies for telepathology. \n                We developed three attachments to a commercial cell phone that transform the phone’s integrated lens and image sensor into a 350x microscope\, visible-light spectrometer\, and particle-sizing device. The microscope is capable of transmission\, fluorescence\, and polarized microscopy modes and is shown to have 1.5 micron resolution and a usable field-of-view of ~150×150 microns with no image processing\, and approximately 350×350 microns when post-processing is applied. The spectrometer has a 300 nm bandwidth with a limiting spectral resolution of close to 5nm. The particle-sizing device records Mie scattering patterns from particles in suspension\, and can determine their size with high precision. \n                We show applications of the devices to medically relevant problems. In the case of the microscope\, we image both stained and unstained blood-smears showing the ability to acquire images of similar quality to commercial microscope platforms\, thus allowing diagnosis of clinical pathologies. With the spectrometer we demonstrate acquisition of a white-light transmission spectrum through diffuse tissue as well as the acquisition of a fluorescence spectrum.

SUMMARY:Nanobatteries And What We Learn From Them\, Apr 13
DESCRIPTION:Electrochemistry coupled with mechanics dictates the microstructural evolution and service life of many materials in the energy industry\, and underlies problems such as stress-corrosion cracking and battery cyclability. \n                While atomistic and first-principles modeling is adept at looking at the finer details of energetics and microstructural evolution\, it often needs help from experiments to identity the key performance-limiting processes. Here we report the creation of a nanoscale electrochemical testing platform inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM)\, consisting of electron-transparent single nanowire electrodes and an ionic liquid electrolyte\, and direct observations of the electrochemical lithiation and delithiation of the nanowires. \n                SnO2\, ZnO\, Si\, Ge\, graphene and carbon nanotube anodes and LiFePO4 nanowire cathode have been tested so far. Lithium embrittlement is found to be a persistent phenomenon in these materials. These in situ experiments greatly complement our modeling efforts\, and together they provide unprecedented details and deep insight into how materials degrade in service due to combined electrochemical-mechanical actions.

SUMMARY:Experiments and Modeling to Study Technologies Aimed at Behavior Change\, Apr 11
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                There are a growing number of persuasive technology apps and systems that aim to make individuals (and therefore society) healthier\, greener\, more financially sound\, smarter\, happier\, and so on. Analysis of such technologies often focuses on the aggregate results\, for example the total percentage of residential electricity saved across households. However\, an aggregate focus misses important aspects of the behavioral responses at an individual level. This talk focuses on experiments and models that examine behavior at the level of the individual\, and demonstrates how such analyses could guide the effective design of behavior change technologies and better predict their impacts on different users’ segments.

SUMMARY:Optimal Demand Response and Power Flow\, Apr 6
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\, the i4Energy Speaker Series is a weekly roundtable of lectures and discussions that highlight these research issues. All talks take place at noon on Fridays in 310 Sutardja Dai Hall\, Banatao Auditorium on the UC Berkeley campus\, unless otherwise indicated. All talks may be viewed on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/citrisuc. \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1065 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                We first propose a simple model that integrates two-period electricity markets\, uncertainty in renewable generation\, and real-time dynamic demand response. A load serving entity decides its day-ahead procurement to optimize expected social welfare a day before energy delivery. At delivery time when renewable generation is realized\, it coordinates with users\, in a decentralized manner\, to manage load \n                and purchase real-time balancing power in the real-time market\, if necessary. We derive the optimal day-ahead decision\, propose real-time demand response algorithm\, and study the effect of volume and variability of renewable generation on the optimal social welfare. \n                This simple model ignores constraints from the underlying power network. We then formulate the problem with these network constraints and consider optimal power flow (OPF) and VAR control. \n                These problems are well-known nonconvex optimization problems and we propose relaxations that can be solved efficiently. We prove conditions under which the relaxations are exact. In particular\, we show that a tree network always has zero duality gap. We apply this result to control voltage and reactive power in distribution networks\, and present results from realistic simulation of a Southern California distribution circuit. \n                (Joint work with Subhomesh Bose\, Mani Chandy\, Masoud Farivar\, Dennice Gayme\, and Libin Jiang\, Javad Lavaei\, Caltech\, and Chris Clarke\, SCE)

SUMMARY:Emily May\, founder of Hollaback!\, Apr 5
DESCRIPTION:Hollaback! is a movement dedicated to ending street harassment using mobile technology. Street harassment is one of the most pervasive forms of gender-based violence and one of the least legislated against. Emily May will talk about this movement and how you have the power to end street harassment in your community! \n                Emily May\, co-founder and Executive Director -named one of twelve women to watch in 2012 by the Daily Muse\, Emily is an international leader in the anti-street-harassment movement. In 2005\, at the age of 24\, she co-founded Hollaback! (iHollaback.org) in New York City\, and in 2010 she became the first full-time executive director. Hollaback!’s mission is to give women and LGBTQ folks an empowered response to street harassment\, and ultimately\, to end it. \n                Emily brings a fresh perspective to social action in the digital age. She argues that the internet has provided new opportunities to tackle discrimination\, by transforming discrimination from a lonely experience into a piece of a larger\, public movement. Her project Hollaback! gives women\, girls\, and LGBTQ individuals an empowered\, real-time response to street harassment that will build public awareness on why street harassment matters\, and how it hurts. Emily\, who hold a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics in Social Policy\, argues that a crowd-sourced movement is the key to changing policy and minds\, and ultimately\, creating a world where everyone has the right to feel safe and confident. \n                Prior to running Hollaback!\, Emily worked in the anti-poverty world as a case manager\, political action coordinator\, director of development\, and most recently\, a one-woman research and development team. She has also worked on four political campaigns.

SUMMARY:The Role of Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage in California's Energy Future\, Mar 23
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1065 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Biography: \n                Dr. Elizabeth Burton is the Technical Director of the DOE West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (WESTCARB) and a project manager in Carbon Management at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She has worked in the field of carbon capture and storage for over 10 years\, both as a researcher and as a technical consultant\, in industry as well as in government. She has extensive experience at the federal and state level in providing technical consultation for energy policymakers\, including as a team member in developing the Energy-Water Report to Congress and Energy-Water Roadmap\, in leading the Assembly Bill 1925 effort at the Energy Commission to report to the California Legislature on recommendations as to how to facilitate commercial-scale CCS adoption in the state\, and as a member of the Technical Advisory Committee to the California CCS Review Panel. She is the author or coauthor of over 100 published technical papers and a college textbook on oceanography. She received a PhD from Washington University in St. Louis\, a MS from the Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences in Miami\, and a B.S. from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. \n                Overview: \n                Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a mechanism that captures CO2 from stationary sources\, such as power plants and refineries\, which account for about half of California’s CO2 emissions. The captured CO2 is then stored underground where it will not become a greenhouse gas contributor. Other uses for CO2 are being researched\, but only enhanced oil recovery has been demonstrated at commercial scales. CCUS is being actively pursued in Europe\, Asia\, the Middle East and Australasia. The USA began CCUS activities in 2003 through the Department of Energy’s Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership program: these seven partnerships cover different areas of the country reflecting the geologic\, geographic and economic variations. The West Coast partnership\, WESTCARB\, stretches from Alaska to Arizona\, including Hawaii and California. California has stringent emission standards to limit its greenhouse gas contribution\, which by 2050 should be a fraction of 1990 levels\, which gives a strong incentive to encourage industrial emitters to sequester their CO2 emissions. \n                WESTCARB\, like other partnerships\, was directed to provide an analysis of \n                CO2 point sources and their position relative to potential ‘sinks’\, or geological basins that would have the capacity to store this gas indefinitely. WESTCARB was to undertake small scale pilot injection tests to validate the technology\, then large volume injection tests to monitor the behaviour of CO2 underground. The western region has unique attributes not found in other partnership regions that has enriched our understanding of CCUS. \n                CCUS is a new endeavour in California in which the current regulatory\, permitting and legal frameworks may require reassessment\, for which WESTCARB is informing policy and regulatory deliberations. WESTCARB is keenly aware of the need to reach out and demonstrate technically the safe operation and stewardship of sequestration projects across the region. \n                In order for California to meet its electricity generation needs that do not compromise its greenhouse gas emission goals\, CCUS will be a vital tool. \n                Commercially viable demonstration projects are needed for California energy future. Renewable power generation will be insufficient in the short to medium term.

SUMMARY:Panel on Information Access and Freedom in the Digital Age\, Mar 20
DESCRIPTION:Decentralized\, open\, interconnected\, layered — the unique characteristics of the Internet challenge the traditional tools of state governance and raise major policy questions. The Internet bridges political boundaries to increase information access and interaction among globally distributed individuals. That can increase freedom of expression and enable global association\, but it simultaneously poses challenges to governments trying to enforce domestic policies and laws. The challenges are compounded by the complex interactions required for Internet governance itself — among private-sector firms like Google and Twitter\, organizations like the World Wide Web Consortium\, international bodies\, and national governments. How can this communication ecosystem be streamlined and made transparent and responsive to public needs? How do we ensure that new technologies become media for the protection of human rights and the encouragement of free public expression? And what role must each of the stakeholders play? \n                \, Director-General of UNESCO \n                is the Director-General of UNESCO\, the United Nations Educational\, Scientific\, and Cultural Organization. She has previously served as a member of the Bulgarian Parliament for two terms\, minister and deputy minister of foreign affairs in the Bulgarian cabinet\, the Bulgarian ambassador to France and to Monaco\, and the permanent delegate of Bulgaria to UNESCO. She was elected as the tenth Director-General of UNESCO in 2009. Bokova is the first female and Eastern European to head UNESCO. \n                \, Assistant Professor\, School of Information \n                Chair of the Board\, Center for Democracy & Technology; Faculty Director\, Berkeley Center for Law and Technology \n                \, Lecturer\, School of Information \n                Former Vice-President and Deputy General Counsel at Google\, responsible for arbitrating issues of censorship; Board member\, First Amendment Coalition \n                \, Adjunct Professor\, School of Information \n                Human rights activist; Editor-in-Chief of China Digital Times; former MacArthur Fellow \n                \, Adjunct full professor\, School of Information \n                \, Dean\, School of Information

SUMMARY:Achieving UC Merced's Triple Zero Commitment: Zero Net Energy\, Zero Landfill Waste\, and Zero Net Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2020\, Mar 16
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1065 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Bio: \n                John Elliott is Director\, Energy and Sustainability in Facilities Management at UC Merced. As co-chair of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability\, he is also responsible for shaping and implementing the campus sustainability strategy\, which includes a “Triple-Zero” commitment to zero net energy\, zero landfill waste\, and climate neutrality by 2020. John is involved in new construction\, operations\, and planning\, as well as engaged in faculty teaching and research to create a sustainability “living laboratory.” John has previous experience in energy efficiency and renewable energy consulting\, as well as energy software. John received a BS in civil and environmental engineering from Stanford University and a masters degree from the Energy and Resources Program at UC Berkeley. \n                Abstract \n                John will provide an introduction to the new University of California campus at Merced and its sustainability commitments. John will present several approaches that the campus is pursuing to achieve its Triple Zero Commitment to zero net energy\, zero landfill waste\, and climate neutrality by 2020. From a technical perspective\, the campus zero net energy strategy relies primarily on energy efficiency\, solar energy\, and plasma gasification\, along with various smart grid strategies. Zero waste efforts currently emphasize composting and control of purchasing to simplify recycling efforts. Campus efforts are only beginning to address climate neutrality beyond initial attainment of zero net energy. From a methodological point of view\, the campus approach generally involves increasing efforts to leverage sustainability goals in support the core research and teaching mission of the university.

DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                In recent years\, there has been significant interest in the applications of printed electronics for the realization of flexible displays\, fully-printed RFID tags and embedded sensors. Printing of active circuitry is expected to enable a dramatic reduction in the overall cost of these systems\, allowing for integration of electronic barcodes and product quality detection systems into consumer goods\, as well as ushering in an era of low cost flexible displays and content delivery appliances. Printing techniques that have been considered range from high-speed commercial gravure printing through ultra-scaled inkjet printing. While many of the printing techniques under consideration have evolved from techniques already widely deployed in graphic arts applications\, the requirements for printed electronics are in many ways dramatically different from those that exist for conventional graphic arts. \n                In this talk\, I will review the tremendous progress that has occurred in printed electronics over the last decade\, and will discuss the challenges that remain. I will discuss the challenges associated with utilizing printing to realize printed semiconductor-based circuits. Additionally\, I will overview the state of the art in printed electronic materials. I will review our work on developing materials\, processes\, devices\, and circuit architectures for all-printed electronic systems including RFID tags\, displays\, and sensing systems.

SUMMARY:Real-time Field Monitoring of Levees within Comprehensive Health Assessment Framework\, Mar 14
DESCRIPTION:Assessing the health of and maintaining civil infrastructure has been an increased concern worldwide in the wake of natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the summer 2007 flood events in the United Kingdom. The variability of properties within geotechnical systems makes predictions of soil behavior extremely difficult\, especially when soil models are not calibrated with field-measured performance. Accordingly\, a need has arisen for a system capable of in situ\, real-time monitoring of critical levees\, embankments\, and other earthen structures. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)-based in-place inclinometer systems\, such as Measurand’s ShapeAccelArray or SAA\, have been developed in response to this need. This system is now being further developed to include digitally integrated pore pressure measurement in the form of vibrating wire piezometers equipped with microprocessors (called SAAPs). The SAAPs are able to convert vibrating wire data to digital data downhole and easily integrate into the SAA system. In situ testing was conducted in a levee in England subjected to significant tidal loading (up to six meters of fluctuation during spring tides) through collaboration with the European Union’s UrbanFlood project. In addition to the SAAs and SAAPs installed in three sections of the levee\, the site was also instrumented with other sensors from Alert Solutions and TenCate\, providing values for comparison. The likelihood of this levee to experience deformation and the density of instrumentation installed in the bank made this the ideal location to test the new SAAP system. The additional insight into subsurface behavior provided by the SAAPs is a component of a multi-scale health assessment framework for effective management of flood-control infrastructure. Preliminary testing indicates the suitability of this multi-scale framework and it will be further implemented in New Orleans\, LA in 2012.
