The dynamics of spreading depolarizations (SD) operate at both the single cell and network level. As single cells bifurcate into extreme regions of their state space, network effects are all that remain to hold back the forthcoming wave of depolarization. Therefore, we investigated excitatory/inhibitory network effects near the leading edge of s...

Biofilms are often key players in human,animal, and plant infections, fouling of industrial equipment, contaminationof water systems, as well as in waste remediation, noteven to mention their central roles in all geochemical cycles.Viewed as materials, biofilms are quite interesting: they are living,growing viscoelastic fluids with surprising ab...

A brief historical review of various chemistries that have been used in batteries for automotive applications will be provided. This will be followed by an overview of Ford's electrification strategy and our research and advanced engineering efforts. Next, the material components of lithium-ion cells and modeling of these electrochemical energy ...

In an attempt to enhance the performance of the built environment, models are being used everywhere to better design or operate buildings. Whole-building energy models are being used for design trades and for compliance (e.g. LEED) in design firms and these or reduced order versions are used for online predictive optimization or fault diagnostic...

Due to the complexity of financial markets, financial derivative modeling requires both an ability to understand and implement theoretical mathematical objects as well as a reliance on simulation techniques. A well known economist, Eugene Fama, once said, "We know all models are false." This notwithstanding, an approximate model allows the pract...

Predictive modeling of physical processes in heterogeneous media requires innovations in mathematical and computational thinking. While multiscale approaches have been successful in modeling the effects of fine scales to macroscopic response, a significant grant challenge remains in understanding the effects of topological uncertainties in chara...
