Unfortunately, continuous, real-time molecular measurement is currently limited to a handful of analytes (i.e. glucose and oxygen) and these sensors cannot be generalized to measure other analytes. In this talk, we will present a biosensor technology that can be generalized to measure a wide range of biomolecules in living subjects. To achieve this, we develop novel reagents (molecular switches) that change its structure upon binding to its target analyte and emit light or produce an electrochemical signal. Our real-time biosensor requires no exogenous reagents and can be readily reconfigured to measure different target analytes by exchanging the molecular switches in a modular manner. Importantly, we will discuss methods for generating the molecular switches which are at the heart of this biosensor technology.</p><p>BIO<br>H. Tom Soh is the W.M.

It is a consequence of design decisions: whose voice an avatar speaks with, what color it wears, how the world responds to a keystroke. In this talk I present a decade of controlled experiments, often with more than a thousand players inside real games my lab builds, showing that seemingly small design decisions systematically change motivation, performance, and learning. I trace three threads: avatars and identity (why hearing your own voice in a game changes how you play), feedback and juice (what actually makes rich audiovisual feedback motivating), and virtual reality for learning (from tutorial design to a robotics assembly experiment testing how much help VR should give). I close with where the program is heading.</p><p><strong>Bio</strong>: Dominic Kao is an Assistant Professor in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he directs the Virtual Futures Lab. His research asks how virtual worlds shape the people who use them: how avatars and identity, feedback design, and virtual reality change motivation, performance, and learning. His lab builds its own games and VR systems and runs controlled experiments inside them, with more than 30,000 study participants to date. Before academia, he worked as a game developer at Electronic Arts.

Wang, staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory<br><strong>Date and Time:</strong>&nbsp;November 6, 2:00-3:00 p.m.&nbsp;<br><strong>Location:</strong>&nbsp;TBD<br><strong>Host:</strong>&nbsp;Qi Tang</p><p><strong>Title:</strong>&nbsp;<em>Bridging Particle-scale Physics to Continuum Closure for Particle-laden Flows</em></p><div><strong>Abstract: </strong>The phase interaction models for disperse multiphase flows are crucial for modeling various scientific and engineering applications. In the existing theory of disperse multiphase flows, phase interactions are represented as forces between the phases. It is well known that models using only force-based interactions are ill-posed, resulting in non-hyperbolic governing equations. In this work, using ensemble averaging and nearest particle statistics, the fluid-particle phase interaction is decomposed into a particle-mean-field force (representing the conventional drag force) and the divergence of the particle-fluid-particle (PFP) stress. To explore the physics of PFP stress and develop a practical mathematical model, a series of particle-scale-resolved simulations have been conducted using CFD-DEM-IBM.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>It is found that for a fluid-particle system with high particle-fluid density ratios, the PFP stress is attractive along the flow direction and repulsive in the direction perpendicular to the flow. This serves as the macroscopic representation of the well-known drafting-kissing-tumbling (DKT) phenomena observed in experiments, which is still absent in existing particle-laden flow theories. To quantify the essential physics, a preliminary PFP stress model, expressed in terms of particle volume fraction and Reynolds number, is proposed based on physical principles and particle-resolved direct numerical simulations.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Bio:</strong> Dr. Min Wang is a Staff Scientist in Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group at Theoretical Division in Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). He obtained his PhD in computational mechanics, DEM-LBM/CFD, from Swansea University in 2016. From 10.2015-06.2018, he worked in Rockfield Software L.t.d UK as a project engineer and focused on the development of Finite Element commercial software for multi-field coupling in geomechanics. In June 2018, he moved to Los Alamos National Laboratory, first as a Postdoc Research Associate, to perform research on the multiscale theory and technique for large material deformations, and on the multiphase flow theory and related closure issues using high-resolution CFD-DEM simulations and statistical mechanics. Then he was promoted to a Staff Scientist position. Dr. Wang's research interests include computational solid and fluid mechanics; multi-material/phase flow theory; multiphysics and multiscale geomechanics, and application of machine learning to enhance the understanding of materials and multi-material/phase flows. &nbsp;He has published over 60 journal articles and served as editorial roles in international journals, such as Computers and Geotechnics, Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Rock and Soil Mechanics and so on since 2019. His research work is primarily supported by Department of Energy, LANL and oil industries like BP.</div>]]></body>  <author>Bryant Wine</author>  <status>1</status>  <created>1791810159</created>  <gmt_created>2026-10-12 13:02:39</gmt_created>  <changed>1791810327</changed>  <gmt_changed>2026-10-12 13:05:27</gmt_changed>  <promote>0</promote>  <sticky>0</sticky>  <teaser><![CDATA[School of CSE hosts a seminar from Min Wang, staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory]]></teaser>  <type>event</type>  <sentence><![CDATA[School of CSE hosts a seminar from Min Wang, staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory]]></sentence>  <summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>Speaker:</strong>&nbsp;Min Wang, staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory<br><strong>Date and Time:</strong>&nbsp;November 6, 2:00-3:00 p.m.&nbsp;<br><strong>Location:</strong>&nbsp;TBD<br><strong>Host:</strong>&nbsp;Qi Tang</p><p><strong>Title:</strong>&nbsp;<em>Bridging Particle-scale Physics to Continuum Closure for Particle-laden Flows</em></p>]]></summary>  <start>2026-11-06T14:00:45-05:00</start>  <end>2026-11-06T15:00:00-05:00</end>  <end_last>2026-11-06T15:00:00-05:00</end_last>  <gmt_start>2026-11-06 19:00:45</gmt_start>  <gmt_end>2026-11-06 20:00:00</gmt_end>  <gmt_end_last>2026-11-06 20:00:00</gmt_end_last>  <times>    <item>      <value>2026-11-06T14:00:45-05:00</value>      <value2>2026-11-06T15:00:00-05:00</value2>      <rrule><![CDATA[  ]]></rrule>      <timezone>America/New_York</timezone>      <timezone_db>America/New_York</timezone_db>      <date_type>datetime</date_type>    </item>  </times>  <gmt_times>    <item>      <value>2026-11-06 02:00:45</value>      <value2>2026-11-06 03:00:00</value2>      <rrule><![CDATA[  ]]></rrule>      <timezone>America/New_York</timezone>      <timezone_db>America/New_York</timezone_db>      <date_type>datetime</date_type>    </item>  </gmt_times>  <phone><![CDATA[]]></phone>  <url><![CDATA[]]></url>  <location_url>    <url><![CDATA[]]></url>    <title><![CDATA[]]></title>  </location_url>  <email><![CDATA[]]></email>  <contact><![CDATA[<p>Qi Tang (qtang@gatech.edu)</p>]]></contact>  <fee><![CDATA[]]></fee>  <extras>      </extras>  <location><![CDATA[TBD]]></location>  <media>          <item>681407</item>      </media>  <hg_media>          <item>          <nid>681407</nid>          <type>image</type>          <title><![CDATA[Min-Wang.jpeg]]></title>          <body><![CDATA[]]></body>                      <image_name><![CDATA[Min-Wang.jpeg]]></image_name>            <image_path><![CDATA[/sites/default/files/2026/10/12/Min-Wang.jpeg]]></image_path>            <image_full_path><![CDATA[http://hg.gatech.edu//sites/default/files/2026/10/12/Min-Wang.jpeg]]></image_full_path>            <image_740><![CDATA[http://hg.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/styles/740xx_scale/public/sites/default/files/2026/10/12/Min-Wang.jpeg?itok=VBB1aOPN]]></image_740>            <image_mime>image/jpeg</image_mime>            <image_alt><![CDATA[CSE Seminar Min Wang]]></image_alt>                              <created>1791810220</created>          <gmt_created>2026-10-12 13:03:40</gmt_created>          <changed>1791810220</changed>          <gmt_changed>2026-10-12 13:03:40</gmt_changed>      </item>      </hg_media>  <boilerplate></boilerplate>  <boilerplate_text><![CDATA[]]></boilerplate_text>  <sidebar><![CDATA[]]></sidebar>  <related>      </related>  <files>      </files>  <groups>          <group id="47223"><![CDATA[College of Computing]]></group>          <group id="50877"><![CDATA[School of Computational Science and Engineering]]></group>      </groups>  <categories>          <category tid="1795"><![CDATA[Seminar/Lecture/Colloquium]]></category>      </categories>  <event_terms>          <term tid="1795"><![CDATA[Seminar/Lecture/Colloquium]]></term>      </event_terms>  <event_audience>          <term tid="194945"><![CDATA[Alumni]]></term>          <term tid="78761"><![CDATA[Faculty/Staff]]></term>          <term tid="177814"><![CDATA[Postdoc]]></term>          <term tid="78771"><![CDATA[Public]]></term>          <term tid="174045"><![CDATA[Graduate students]]></term>          <term tid="78751"><![CDATA[Undergraduate students]]></term>      </event_audience>  <keywords>          <keyword tid="166983"><![CDATA[School of Computational Science and Engineering]]></keyword>      </keywords>  <userdata><![CDATA[]]></userdata></node></nodes>
