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.

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.

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) URL:https://citris-uc.org/event/optimal-demand-response-and-power-flow-apr-6/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120406T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120406T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T142020 CREATED:20140202T090101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140202T090101Z UID:4341-1333699200-1333731600@citris-uc.org SUMMARY:Carbon Nanoelectronics and Macroelectronics\, Apr 6 DESCRIPTION:Carbon nanotubes and graphene offer great promise\, but they also face significant challenges for future beyond-silicon nanoelectronics. \n This talk will focus on our recent work on nanoelectronics based on aligned nanotubes\, macroelectronics based on separated nanotubes\, and wafer-scale CVD graphene. \n We have developed the synthesis of massively aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes atop sapphire and quartz substrates\, and we will also present our recent progress toward type-controlled and chirality-controlled carbon nanotube synthesis. \n In addition\, we will report macroelectronics based on separated nanotube thin film transistors\, including key technology components such as assembly of separated nanotube networks\, high-yield fabrication of devices\, and applications for AMOLED displays and printed electronics. Furthermore\, we will present scalable fabrication of self-aligned T-gate graphene transistors for RF applications.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yet\, the micrometeorological community has been slow to adopt this new and novel technology in their research domain. This lecture covers many of the issues and complications associated with applying wireless networks in natural ecosystems. Topics covered include the need for power\, calibration\, representative exposure and the need to measure mass and energy fluxes instead of state variables. Suggestions and ideas for future collaboration and interactions are presented.
