MS Thesis Defense - Andrew Pack

A Masters of Science Thesis Defense:  Geometric Modulation of Microfluidic Channels to Improve Recovery Efficiency in Plume Ice Capture By: Andrew Pack   June 24th, 2026 MEK 3660   Committee Members:  Dr. Jungkyu (Jay) Kim Dr. Bruce Gale Dr. Jiyoung Chang   Project Summary  Saturn's moon Enceladus is one of the most promising places in the solar system to search for biosignatures. Ice particles are continuously expelled from its subsurface ocean through geothermal geysers, making flyby missions that capture and analyze this ocean-derived material feasible. Such particles can be assayed for amino acid chirality, one of the strongest potential indicators of life. The quantity of collectable material is severely limited, however, so both capture and recovery efficiency must be maximized. This work investigates geometric optimization of the capture plate within an ice plume capture system, where the plate serves as both a capture surface and a microfluidic recovery channel. Increasing recovery efficiency — the… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Wednesday, June 24, 2026, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM.

MS Thesis Defense - John Gardner

A Master of Science Thesis Defense:   Propagation of Detonations in Stratified Mixtures    By: John Gardner  Date:  6/24/26  Time: 10:00 AM Location: MEK 3350    Committee Members:   Alex Novoselov  Amir Arzani  Todd Harman     Project Summary     Detonation-based pressure-gain combustion systems, such as rotating detonation engines, offer a promising path toward compact and efficient propulsion. However, practical devices contain highly nonuniform flow fields, including incomplete fuel-air mixing and regions of partially or completely burned product gases. This thesis investigates how these inhomogeneities affect detonation propagation and performance using high-resolution simulations of ethylene-air detonations. Two forms of stratification are considered: parasitic preburned regions ahead of the detonation, and fuel-air composition gradients. The results show that preburned regions can significantly alter detonation structure and dynamics, weakening the detonation in the reactive… Campus Wide Event: Yes.
