Michigan Tech has worked hard to create a campus environment welcoming to everyone, committed to inclusivity and respectful of each person’s individuality.

This work will continue.

However, as a federal contractor, Michigan Tech is legally obligated to comply with all applicable federal policy. Compliance with federal policy is a condition of our federal contracts, and as such, we are required to implement changes to align with the law. This includes updating policies, procedures and practices where necessary.

To meet the new federal requirements, Center for Diversity and Inclusion staff will transition into new roles within the Waino Wahtera Center for Student Success. Wahtera Center staff will continue their efforts to create a supportive campus environment dedicated to student success for all.

“The success of every student is embedded in the mission of Student Affairs; it’s what we do,” said Laura Bulleit, vice president for student affairs. “Our new structure allows us to continue this mission and gives us the opportunity to expand our support through enhanced mentorship programs and a more robust structure for student organizations.”

The Office of Engagement and Belonging will sunset. Wayne Gersie will lead the new Office of Community Engagement. As vice president for community engagement, he will play a key leadership role in strengthening institutional partnerships to support innovation, external relations, student success and institutional growth in pursuit of the public good. Areas of focus include educational attainment, economic development and health and quality of life. A significant portion of this role is dedicated to supporting faculty, staff and students in pursuit of external funding to support these initiatives.

“As I transition into my new role as vice president for community engagement, my commitment to fostering collaborations that support the success of our students, faculty and staff remains steadfast,” said Gersie. “At Michigan Tech, our values, our community and our connections are foundational to all we do. I am confident that the meaningful work carried out by the Engagement and Belonging team as well as our partners in this work will continue to inspire the path ahead. This transition is not about change for the sake of change but about continuity and ensuring that our work evolves in ways that strengthen our shared mission. We remain dedicated to fostering an environment where every member of our campus community feels supported, valued and empowered. We are reaffirming what has always defined us: a culture of excellence, collaboration and innovation. Moving forward, I will focus on cultivating partnerships that create new opportunities for growth while reinforcing the deep, mutually beneficial relationships that advance the University’s mission and leadership in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

Services provided through Equal Opportunity Compliance and Title IX at Michigan Tech will continue as dictated by federal law.

“Michigan Tech remains committed to creating an environment where all our students have the opportunity to succeed,” said Rick Koubek, president. “I’d like to recognize the hard work of our faculty and staff in this regard and reiterate our continued commitment to creating a sense of belonging for each and every member of our community.”

During his storied five-year athletic career as goaltender for Michigan Tech’s men’s ice hockey team, Blake Pietila graduated with his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in 2023 and set his sights on a master’s in business administration in 2024.

Pietila, who was named the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s 2023 Player of the Year, 2023 Goalie of the Year and 2024 Student-Athlete of the Year, was signed to an amateur tryout contract with the Cleveland Monsters in the American Hockey League in April after the end of his final season with the Huskies. He said he plans to take his hockey career as far as he can, knowing that his future holds additional options thanks to his Michigan Tech education.

College of Engineering Dean Michelle Scherer has selected Kerri Sleeman, professor of practice in construction engineering with a joint appointment in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geospatial Engineering (CEGE) and the College of Business, for the Deans’ Teaching Showcase.

Sleeman will be recognized at an end-of-term event with other spring showcase members and is a candidate for the CTL Instructional Award Series.

“Kerri is the type of experienced professional who adds so much value to a Tech education,” Scherer noted. “Passing on her experience gives our students that extra edge as they begin their professional careers.”

With over 19 years of industry experience, Sleeman uses actual construction projects in her courses to be an effective and highly respected educator. She is familiar with the mechanical and electrical systems on campus from her time with MTU Facilities, so she organizes tours of mechanical and electrical rooms and data centers. In her Building Utility Systems course, Sleeman has students read and interpret real ongoing campus project drawings and takes them to tour the projects to identify items from the drawings. In her Construction Scheduling course, she uses a past project she managed for the University as the basis for the class final project, hosting contractors from the project to help students develop their own construction schedules. Her real-project-based approach is highly valued by her students. They come to class because they know what she is teaching them cannot be found in a textbook.

“Professor Sleeman is a superb professor because of her attention to detail and efforts to stay ahead of the curve on industry technologies,” said student Teddy Ellis. “She makes a concerted effort to bring relevant industry professionals to class to add their perspectives and wisdom to our curriculum.”

The construction industry strives to effectively use technology to bring projects in on time and under budget, and Sleeman wants her students to see technology as an asset when they enter the workforce. In her Construction Finance and Accounting course, students develop spreadsheets to take with them to use in their careers; Sleeman has used those same spreadsheets as a project manager. The students also learn three different common industry scheduling softwares in their Construction Scheduling course. Sleeman uses industry feedback to determine which software and technology she teaches the students to add value to their learning experience. Further, students in her Sustainable Construction course can take the LEED Green Associate sample exam and earn badges to include on their resumes and professional profiles. All of Sleeman’s efforts are to ensure students are prepared for industry.

“The extra step of preparing students to take and pass an industry certification is one way our program stands out above the rest. Kerri doesn’t just cover sustainability to meet construction management accreditation requirements, she covers sustainability in such a way as to give students an advantage when they are seeking their first full-time position,” says Audra Morse, CEGE department chair.

Student Hannah Baker said it best: “She has made a lasting impact on me, motivating me to continue learning and striving for success in the construction industry.”

The Board of Trustees will meet Feb. 21 from 9-11 a.m. in Memorial Union Ballroom B, and public attendance is welcome.

Members of the public are invited to make public comments to the board in accordance with Board of Trustees Bylaw 1.14.

Please join the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences (GMES) on Monday, Feb. 10, from 12-1 p.m. in Dow 610 for a research presentation by faculty candidate Daisy Ning, research assistant professor, Colorado School of Mines.

The title of Ning's presentation is “Advancing Subsurface Modeling and Monitoring for Geological Carbon Sequestration.”

From the abstract:
The urgent need for carbon management solutions has positioned geological carbon sequestration (GCS) as a critical strategy in mitigating climate change. However, successful implementation requires a deep understanding of subsurface processes, robust modeling tools, and advanced monitoring techniques to ensure safe and efficient storage. This seminar will explore the integration of subsurface fluid flow simulation, coupled fluid-geomechanical modeling, and fiber optic sensing to address key challenges in GCS.

This seminar begins by establishing the fundamentals of subsurface fluid flow simulation, emphasizing numerical modeling approaches for geological reservoirs. The discussion extends to coupled fluid-geomechanical simulations, essential for estimating reservoir deformation and ensuring long-term storage integrity. An integral component of the seminar is the application of distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) to monitor potential fractures induced by CO2 injection, a key factor in preventing leakage and induced seismicity. Additionally, the migration of CO2 contaminants into underground drinking water is examined, highlighting simulation-based risk assessments for groundwater protection. The integration of computational modeling with real-time monitoring aims to advance secure, large-scale CO2 storage solutions, supporting long-term carbon sequestration and global decarbonization efforts. Finally, this seminar will underscore the interdisciplinary nature of GCS research, highlighting how advanced modeling and monitoring techniques integrate with geological engineering and hydrology.

Please join the Department of Computer Science (CS) on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 3 p.m. in Rekhi 214 for a research presentation by tenure-track faculty candidate Bo Zhang, following the social hour in Rekhi 218 (coffee and snacks).

The title of Zhang's presentation is "Coupling Heterogeneous Components into Large-Scale Scientific Workflow."

From the abstract:
Emerging simulations running at extreme scales on leadership-class High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems enable the scientific discoveries that previously were out of reach by producing and analyzing massive volumes of data. Their need to process data more frequently than the temporal resolution of checkpoints in storage, along with the increasing disparity between HPC clusters' floating point operation rate and I/O bandwidth, motivate the use of in situ workflows. Unfortunately, although the extreme-scale computing landscape is increasingly dominated by HPC systems equipped with GPUs, coupled in situ workflows still cannot productively leverage the computing power of GPU-accelerated HPC clusters due to two outstanding heterogeneity challenges: interoperability across heterogeneous execution backends and performance portability. Moreover, recent discussions about the convergence of Hyper-Scale Data centers and High-Performance Computing infrastructure, as well as the emergence of digital twin workflows that incorporate edge devices, introduce unprecedented heterogeneity challenges in cross-site computing. Since in situ workflow consists of several scientific applications as its components that exchange shared data through interconnects, these challenges are not limited to individual components but also extended to the I/O between components. In this talk, I'll introduce an interoperable and portable coupling infrastructure that manages the heterogeneity in hybrid GPU-CPU in situ workflows. Specifically, it (i) automates the on-the-fly data layout conversions for heterogeneous applications to maintain the overall workflow performance, (ii) optimizes the inter-application data movements using GPUDirect RDMA, and (iii) maintains portable inter-application data movement performance across HPC platforms with heterogeneous hardware configuration. In addition, I will also share insights on coupling inter-site scientific workflows across HPC, cloud, and edge and building data-driven control-centric digital twin workflows upon these heterogeneous components.

Zhang is a postdoctoral research associate in the Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute at the University of Utah. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Utah in 2024 under the supervision of Professor Manish Parashar. He received his bachelor's degree in telecommunications engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2018. His research interests include high-performance computing, extreme-scale data management, in-situ processing and heterogeneous digital twin workflow. In the past five years, he primarily worked on the workflow-level I/O abstraction for GPU-dense supercomputers and the convergence of workflow infrastructure for hyper-scale data centers and HPC centers. He received the 2023 Euro-Par Best Paper Candidate award and the HPCwire 2024 Editors' Choice Awards – Best Use of High Performance Data Analytics & Artificial Intelligence for the National Data Platform (NDP) project.

A collaborative Michigan Tech research team has co-authored a paper published in ACS Applied Bio Materials.

The MTU team includes Department of Chemistry Ph.D. students Henry Lanquaye, Xinzhu Li, Peter Agyemang and Dilka Liyana Arachchige; research scientist Sushil K. Dwivedi (Chem); high school students Crystal Wang and Ivy Zhen; undergraduate students Grace Rickauer, Isabelle Knighton and Joseph Peters; and Professors Athar Ata (Chem), Thomas Werner (BioSci) and Haiying Liu (Chem).

The paper is titled "A Rhodamine-Based Ratiometric Fluorescent Sensor for Dual-Channel Visible and Near-Infrared Emission Detection of NAD(P)H in Living Cells and Fruit Fly Larvae."

This paper introduces a novel near-infrared ratiometric sensor, sensor A, designed to revolutionize the study of cellular metabolism and its relationship to disease. The sensor enables unprecedented precision in tracking the fluctuations of NAD(P)H, a critical molecule involved in energy production, redox regulation and stress responses. NAD(P)H plays a central role in maintaining cellular balance, influencing vital processes from energy homeostasis to cell survival. Fluctuations in NAD(P)H levels are often indicative of metabolic disruptions, making it a key marker in understanding diseases such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Traditional NAD(P)H sensors have struggled with inaccuracies due to experimental variability. However, sensor A overcomes these challenges by employing a ratiometric fluorescence approach with a self-calibrated capability, which improves measurement reliability and reduces experimental artifacts. This innovative sensor enables real-time, non-invasive monitoring of NAD(P)H dynamics within live cells and organisms, offering powerful new opportunities to explore cellular metabolism in both healthy and disease states.

The sensor's ability to precisely monitor NAD(P)H fluctuations opens new avenues for advancing therapeutic research by providing deeper insights into the metabolic changes driving disease progression and treatment responses. By offering a more reliable method for quantifying NAD(P)H levels, sensor A sets the stage for major breakthroughs in the study of redox biology, cellular function and disease mechanisms, with the potential to pave the way for more targeted and effective therapies.

This research was primarily supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health through grants 2R15GM114751, R15GM114751 and R15GM146206-01, with additional supplemental support from grants 1R15GM146206-01S1 and 3R15GM146206-01S2 awarded to Liu. These supplemental funds enabled the acquisition of vital equipment, including a cell incubator with oxygen level control and a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system.

Additional funding from the National Science Foundation under award number 2117318 supported the purchase of an NMR spectrometer, crucial for characterizing the chemical structures of the fluorescent probes used in the study. Liu served as one of the principal investigators on this grant.

CS Faculty Candidate Presentation with Evan Lucas

Please join the Department of Computer Science (CS) on Monday, Feb. 10, at 3 p.m. in Rekhi G005 for a research presentation by tenure-track faculty candidate Evan Lucas, following the social hour in Rekhi 218 (coffee and snacks).

The title of Lucas' presentation is "Detecting watermarks in large language models."

From the abstract:
Dr. Lucas works in the areas of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision. His specific areas of interest are applied computer vision to enable environmental science, building chatbots for educational purposes, and large language model watermarking. In this talk he will focus on model watermarking. Large language models are being used for an increasing number of applications and many released models use (or are theorized to use) different forms of watermarking. Watermarking can be used to assert ownership over generated content, aid in detection of model-generated context, or detect unauthorized use of training data. In this talk, Evan will discuss an attack to detect watermarks that he developed and presented at an Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) workshop, the countermeasure that was developed to mitigate this attack, and future research on evolving the attack to overcome this countermeasure. If time permits, he will discuss some of his other research interests.

Lucas is a research scientist in the Institute of Computing and Cybersystems at Michigan Technological University. His research interests fall within deep learning, specifically computer vision and natural language processing. He has co-authored 13 peer-reviewed papers, with seven published in top-tier machine learning venues, including the Association for Computational Linguistics, Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and the IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision.

Throughout his graduate studies, current position and industry work, he has mentored 12 students and interns. He enjoys teaching and has taught as an adjunct professor for seven semesters at Michigan Tech, Gogebic Community College and Western Carolina University. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Michigan Tech, with his dissertation research focusing on natural language processing.
