🏆 A Sustainability Cup Dorm Competition Event as part of the 18th annual Notre Dame Energy Week 🏆 The global energy crisis affects us in many ways, from energy shortages and pollution to climate change. Fossil fuel-based energy production and traditional air conditioning systems are two of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Since most energy production still relies heavily on fossil fuels, finding ways to produce energy more efficiently, reduce energy consumption, and recover waste heat is crucial. Join Notre Dame’s solar club, SunRise ND, as the Dorini Family Professor for Energy Studies, Tengfeir Luo, presents three examples of how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to design and optimize materials that address these energy challenges. These include AI-driven improvements in thermoelectric materials for recovering waste heat, the discovery of gas separation membranes for more efficient energy production, and the use of quantum computing to design energy-efficient windows. These examples highlight AI's promising role in tackling global energy challenges. Biography Tengfei Luo is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Leading the MÖNSTER Lab (MOlecular/Nano-Scale Transport & Energy Research Laboratory) at Notre Dame, Luo’s research interests include engineering materials with tailored thermal properties, thermal management of electronics, improving efficiency of energy devices, designing molecules and systems for water desalination, high-sensitivity bio-sensing, and additive manufacturing. Vintage ND Energy shirts will be given out at this event while they last.

This 3-session body acceptance workshop supports students in directly challenging the cultural messages that appearance should fit within a narrow set of “ideals” that exclude diverse bodies based on race, gender, sexuality, and ability. You do not need to use any other UCC service or attend a drop-in appointment to come to any workshop or support space. https://ucc.nd.edu/news-events/events/2024/09/25/the-everybody-project-series-offering-1-1/
