SUMMARY:September 2025: Joint Meeting with Akron section
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us\, together with the Akron section to learn about: \n“Data and AI-Driven Material Development in the Tire & Rubber Industry“; Ron Shaffer\, Rocco Panella; Bridgestone Americas Technology Center in Akron\, Ohio \nclick here for a brief bio of our speakers \nThere are over 300 million new tires produced each per year in the United States.  Tires are a complex blend of materials\, engineering\, and design.  The typical tire is made up of approximately 80-85% rubber compound by weight.  These compounds require constant improvement to meet the changing demands of customers (e.g.\, longer lifetimes\, better grip in snow/ice) and to keep up with broader changes in society (e.g.\, environmental sustainability\, transition to battery electric vehicles). For the past century\, the tire industry has accumulated vast amounts of data and expertise on rubber compounds\, their compositions/properties\, and how these relate to tire performance. \nIn the last decade\, the chemical industry\, including tire and rubber\, have started employing data driven approaches such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for material\ndevelopment.   A typical problem involves developing ML/AI models to predict compound properties using information about the raw materials in the compound formula\, process parameters\, and other relevant factors.  The benefits of using ML/AI tools include accelerating the pace of product development by reducing the volume of experimental testing needed and using the tools in an inverse fashion to suggest compound formulas likely to achieve certain targets. However\, the relationships between the rubber compound formulae and performance are complex. Nonlinearities\, missing/incomplete data\, noisy data\, sparseness of the data\, and high-dimensional feature spaces pose technical challenges requiring expertise at the intersection of material science and data science. \nThis presentation will discuss some of the unique opportunities and challenges faced by scientists and engineers in the tire and rubber industry responsible for data driven material\ndevelopment. \nSchedule: \n4:30pm: Executive Committee Meeting\n5:30pm: Social time\n6:00pm: Dinner\n7:00pm: Talk \nMenu: TBD \nRegistration:

Buffet dinner. \nPlenary Talk: Keeping Eyes on Innovation: Injectable Polymeric Materials for Transformative Biomedical Applications \n \nDr. Metin Karayilan\, Assistant Professor at CWRU \n  \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, I will present the materials and technologies developed in the Karayilan Research Lab\, with a focus on ocular research\, specifically addressing challenges in ocular trauma and cataract surgery. Cataracts\, the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment\, result from the degradation and aggregation of lens proteins due to genetic and environmental factors. The current treatment\, as recommended by the NIH National Eye Institute\, is cataract surgery. During cataract surgery\, viscoelastic materials are critical for protecting the corneal endothelium from trauma and maintaining the capsular bag’s shape to facilitate the insertion of intraocular lens implants. However\, retained viscoelastic materials can cause a sharp postoperative increase in intraocular pressure (IOP)\, potentially damaging the optic nerve and leading to vision loss or blindness. To prevent these complications\, all viscoelastic materials must be fully aspirated at the end of surgery. This task is complicated by the fact that commercially available viscoelastics are clear and colorless\, making them difficult to detect. \nOur lab addresses this issue by designing and synthesizing transparent yet visible\, fluorescent viscoelastic materials for use in intraocular surgeries. These fluorescent materials enable easy visualization and complete aspiration at the end of surgery\, reducing the risk of postoperative complications without interfering with surgical procedures. This talk will highlight our most recent advancements and future plans in developing polymer melts and gels for applications in intraocular surgery\, with the goal of improving patient outcomes. \n  \nBio: Metin was originally born in the Aegean region and raised in Istanbul. He earned his BS in Chemistry and MS in Chemical Engineering in Turkey before moving to the “dry heat” state of Arizona to pursue his PhD at the University of Arizona. Missing humidity and green\, he moved to Durham\, North Carolina\, for his postdoctoral work at Duke University. In July 2022\, Metin joined the Department of Chemistry at Case Western Reserve University as an Assistant Professor\, moving from “First in Flight” North Carolina to the “Birthplace of Aviation” Ohio. As a polymer chemist\, his research focuses on developing materials for biomedical and sustainable chemistry applications. \n\nRegistration:

The car was lighter than other electric cars and used twelve lead acid batteries designed by Thomas Edison who famously drove a Baker. In New York City\, there were 15\,000 on the streets and charging stations scattered throughout the area. Cleveland architect Frank B Meade designed the Baker Electric Building for Walter C Baker as his car showroom in 1910. Rohrheimer-Brooks\, Cleveland’s top interior design studio\, designed and decorated the showrooms and associated spaces. Faced with competition from gasoline-powered automobiles production ceased in 1919. The building was listed on the National Register for Historic Places in 2007 and was redeveloped into a LEED Silver certified tech incubator providing 52\,000 square feet of office and wet/dry laboratory space for emerging local companies. In 2010\, the city of Cleveland installed the city’s first public electric vehicle recharging station. \nHere is a video with Jay Leno showing off the Baker Electric from his collection. \nSpeaker Biography: \nEric Rivet\, Curator WRHS  \nEric Rivet has been a Curator of Collections and Exhibits at the WRHS since 2015. His responsibilities include planning and installing exhibitions that highlight the rich and diverse history of the region. Previously\, he was a Curator at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans and holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Louisiana State University.

SUMMARY:2023 Edward W. Morley Award Address and Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the 2023 winner of the Edward W. Morley award\, Prof. Ryan Bailey of the University of Michigan. \nRegistration by June 22 \nThursday June 29th Michaelson & Morley Restaurant\, Veale Center\nCase Western Reserve University\n\n\nDr. Ryan Bailey\, Robert A. Gregg Professor\, Department of Chemistry\, University of Michigan\n\nMultiplexed Biomarker Analysis to Improve Diagnostics of Infections and Infectious Disease\nThe concept of precision medicine is predicated on an ability to comprehend a patient’s disease state in a highly informed manner that ideally illuminates an effective treatment strategy. While commonly discussed in the context of diseases that progress relatively slowly\, such as cancer\, where genotyping has proven valuable in understanding somatic mutations\, the application of precision medicine to infections and infectious diseases can be more challenging—especially for rapidly progressing conditions. To this end\, our group is developing multiple technologies that aim to increase the depth of biomarker analysis that can be performed in a clinical laboratory setting. One such technology leverages well-established semiconductor fabrication methods to create highly multiplexed and robust silicon photonic biosensor arrays that are extremely sensitive and readily scalable to emerging challenges in point-of-care clinical diagnostics. Furthermore\, the rapidity and multi-marker analytical capabilities of this technology assays offer benefits over conventional clinical diagnostic tools. In this talk I will discuss applications of this technology in the early detection of acute infections\, longitudinal monitoring of emergent infections\, and stratifying the risk of latent disease reactivation.\n\nSocial with drinks: 5:30pm\nDinner: 6:15pm \nMorley Award Presentation and Address: 7:15 – 8:30pm\n\nFirst Course: \n\nHouse Salad – mixed greens\, kalamata\, feta\, red onion\, tomato\, cucumber\, red-wine vinaigrette\n\n\nEntree choice of:\n\nGrilled Faroe Island Salmon – roasted fingerling potatoes\, grilled asparagus\nGrilled Strip Steak – rosemary potato puree\, broccolini\, chimichurri sauce\nRoasted Airline Chicken Breast – roasted tomato\, spinach\, roasted sweet potato\, cranberry\,\nbeurre blanc\nWild Mushroom Tart – caramelized leeks\, almond cream\, baby carrot\, beet reduction\n\n\n\nDessert Course:\n\nchocolate mousse dome\n\nRegistration:

SUMMARY:2023 Meeting in Miniature (MIM)
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Meeting in Miniature (MIM) of the Cleveland Section will be held Wed. March 15 at Baldwin Wallace University \n3pm: registration\, Knowlton Atrium \n3:20-6:00pm: Technical sessions (Abstract submission by Mar. 6) \n6:15pm: Keynote\, Telfer 115 (see below) \n7:30pm: Buffet dinner\, Knowlton Atrium  \n8:15pm: Student awards presentation\, Knowlton Atrium  \n  \n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker: Markus J. Buehler\, McAfee Professor of Engineering\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (https://meche.mit.edu/people/faculty/mbuehler@mit.edu) \n \nProtein Counterpoint in Music Human creativity has advanced the way we understand the world\, including scientific and artistic work. However\, until now\, the convergent use of disparate knowledge bases has remained elusive\, especially connecting art & science. In this talk I will present recent research to achieve such translations\, whereby salient relationships are discovered in an unsupervised fashion\, without knowledge of pairing or domain\, thereby expanding the concept of bio-inspiration to encompass vast swaths of human creativity and knowledge. The method is demonstrated in the reversible\, bidirectional translation of musical data (based on Bach’s Goldberg Variations published in 1741) to protein sequences\, discovered in a fully autonomous manner. The general method has broader applications for other discovery platforms in a variety of engineering\, scientific\, cultural\, artistic\, and environmental data\, opening possibilities for further experimental and computational studies of chemistry and chemical engineering. Speaker bio: Markus J. Buehler is the McAfee Professor of Engineering at MIT (an Institute-wide Endowed Chair)\, a member of the Center for Materials Science and Engineering\, and the Center for Computational Science and Engineering at the Schwarzman College of Computing. He holds academic appointments in Mechanical Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering. In his research\, Professor Buehler pursues new modeling\, design and manufacturing approaches for advanced biomaterials that offer greater resilience and a wide range of controllable properties from the nano- to the macroscale. His interests include a variety of functional material properties including mechanical\, optical and biological\, linking chemical features\, hierarchical and multiscale structures\, to performance in the context of physiological\, pathological and other extreme conditions. An expert in computational materials science and AI\, he pioneered the field of materiomics\, and demonstrated broad impacts in the study of mechanical properties of complex materials\, including predictive materials design and manufacturing. Between 2013-2020\, Buehler served as Department Head of MIT’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. He has held numerous other leadership roles at professional organizations\, including a term as President of the Society of Engineering Science (SES). He received numerous awards\, including the Feynman Prize\, the ASME Drucker Medal\, the J.R. Rice Medal\, and many others. In 2023\, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Call for Abstracts: A highlight of the MIM is the 10-15 minute talks across all areas of chemistry. Again this year there will be cash awards given for the best undergraduate and graduate student talks. Although awards are given to encourage participation by students\, we welcome talks by all practicing chemists at the MIM. Please limit the abstract to 250 words and include names and affiliations of all authors with the presenting author’s name underlined. Abstracts will be due by Monday\, March 6. An online portal for abstract submissions is now available. \nParking InfoTBA. \nRegistration:
