In May 2025, after campus quieted down following the spring semester, 16 students from Michigan Tech's College of Business traded their textbooks for passports and their backpacks for suitcases, swapping the Portage Canal for hundreds of canals in the major port city of Hamburg, Germany.

Alongside COB Professors Junhong Min and Ulrich Schmelzle, Huskies embarked on an in-depth exploration of global supply chain management, learning directly from industry giants such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Airbus and more during the College's Study Abroad in Germany program.

The trip isn't just about touring factories. It's about stepping into the heartbeat of global commerce. Hamburg is one of Europe's strategic hubs for manufacturing, logistics and distribution. Students saw how raw materials, components and finished products move seamlessly across borders, supported by high technology, precise scheduling and cross-continental coordination.

Find out more about the program — and how Business Huskies get an insider's view of supply chain operations — at the College of Business Newsblog.

Starting college is a pivotal moment, and at Michigan Tech, we've designed a first-semester experience to help new students navigate it successfully. The Michigan Tech Seminar, part of our Essential Education program, is offered through a wide variety of introductory courses. The seminar helps students not only get acclimated but also chart their academic journey, practice reflection and build a sense of community. This isn't just another class; it's an integrated experience with core modules that are adapted by instructors to fit the unique needs of different majors.

The Michigan Tech Seminar is built on three key pillars:

• Essential Education: Essential Ed modules help students understand the "why" behind their education. They introduce Michigan Tech's Essential Abilities, which prompt students to reflect on Tech's key learning outcomes and their own strengths and areas for growth. This self-assessment is more than an exercise; it's a tool for creating a unique academic plan. Students are encouraged to explore a wide range of opportunities early on, including Essential Ed minors, undergraduate research opportunities, study away programs and student organizations, helping them set concrete goals and map out a pathway to achieve them.

• Husky Life: The Husky Life modules focus on crucial aspects of student success: academics, community and well-being. These modules connect students with vital campus resources and encourage them to build relationships with peers, faculty and staff. Instructors can tailor assignments to fit specific professional development needs, with many sections focusing on resume building and departmental networking. The modules also address key life skills, with instructors able to choose topics like time management, stress reduction and coping with loneliness, ensuring a holistic approach to student wellness.

• Husky Folio: Michigan Tech's Husky Folio, a teaching approach to help students recognize, reflect on and collect evidence of their learning, is a powerful tool for career readiness. The Husky Folio modules introduce students to the practice of documenting and reflecting on their learning. Through a series of assignments, students learn how to use our Husky Folio platform to tell the story of their academic and personal growth. This is valuable practice prepares students not only for future classes but also to articulate their skills and experiences in job interviews.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is hosting a seminar presented by Stephen Raiman, assistant professor, University of Michigan, tomorrow, Sept. 12, at 3 p.m. in M&M 610.

Raiman will present "The Forge and the Fume Hood: Making and Breaking Materials to Help Build Better Nuclear Reactors."

From the abstract:
The new age of nuclear power is finally upon us. As our energy-hungry world recognizes the need for reliable and clean baseload, nuclear is suddenly in vogue again.

However, new nuclear is not without its challenges, especially for materials. The environments in nuclear reactors can present corrosive environments, ionizing radiation, high temperatures, mechanical stresses, and often a combination of all of these at the same time. As reactor designers challenge the limits of material performance, corrosion scientists work on controlling material and environmental properties to meet these challenges and ensure long economic service times.

This talk will discuss recent research showing how corrosion science and radiation materials science are used to address challenges with current light water reactors and enable next-generation molten salt reactors. I will discuss flowing experiments in both high temperature water and molten salt, along with effects of radiation, fission products, and stress corrosion cracking. I will also present our recent work on manufacturing and processing power-metallurgical materials using hot isostatic pressing. I hope to link the work we do in our lab to actionable engineering knowledge that can be deployed to help current and future nuclear power plants last longer, and run cleaner, safer, and more efficiently.

Raiman is an assistant professor of nuclear engineering and radiological sciences at the University of Michigan, with an appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, where he is the principal investigator of the Materials in High Temperature Extreme Environments (MiHTEE) Lab. He is interested in understanding corrosion and degradation of materials in extreme environments. Prior to joining U-M, he was an assistant professor of nuclear engineering and materials science at Texas A&M University, and before that he spent four years as a staff researcher in the Materials Science and Technology Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He graduated from U-M in 2016 with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences with a concentration in materials. He also holds a B.S. in Physics from the University at Buffalo. He likes riding bikes, dislikes driving cars, and is pretty good at making pizza.

Daisy Ning, assistant professor in the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences at Michigan Tech, will give a talk as part of the Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences Institute (EPSSI) Fall 2025 Seminar Series on Monday, Sept. 15, at 4 p.m. in GLRC 202.

Distinguished Ecologist Lecture: Dr. Ankur Desai

Thursday, September 11, 12:30 p.m.–12:30 p.m. | Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), 202

Title: The space-time continuum of ecology: Making ecosystem studies scale-aware Ecosystems and their processes exist in space and evolve in time. In physics, including the atmospheric and oceanic sciences, there is strong desire to developing theory that unites understanding across as many space and time scales as possible. Can we do the same for ecosystem ecology? Maybe, but unification seems elusive. Still, scale-aware thinking in ecology can lend us new insight, especially when new techniques and technologies allow us to resolve across more scales. I’ll share some of those we have gained from work in our lab and with collaborators on mapping of carbon and water cycles, plant traits, and forest and agricultural management. Dr. Ankur Desai is the Vilas Distinguished Achivement Professor and Department Chair of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Madison. His lab investigates how regional spatial patterning, scale, and human modification of land-atmosphere exchanges of heat, water, and carbon influence the lower atmosphere, and how those meteorological and climatic responses modify terrestrial ecosystem ecological functioning.

Physics Colloquium with Dolendra Karki

Thursday, September 11, 3:30 p.m.–4:00 p.m. | Fisher Hall, 139

Dolendra Karki from National Energy Technological Laboratory (NETL) will present at this week's Physics Colloquium. Dr. Karki's presentation is titled "OPTICAL FIBER SENSORS FOR MONITORING ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURES". The seminar will be presented at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday (Sep.11) in Fisher 139. The coffee hour will be held at 3:30 in the Fisher Hall Lobby. Abstract The optical silica-fibers primarily used in high-speed data transmission and telecommunication are also fundamental to the rapidly emerging fiber-optic sensor technology. The low transmission loss and intrinsic optical scattering effects (Rayleigh, Brillouin, and Raman scattering) upon external perturbation of acoustic vibration, strain, temperature, pressure etc., make these fibers inherent sensors for remote and distributed sensing over a long distance. Higher sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), thanks to dielectric silica material, flexibility, compactness, low size and weight are other clear advantages of optical fiber-sensors over their electronic counterparts. Moreover, as a single point or multi-point sensors, the optical fiber platform offers a combination of various sensing architectures (e.g. gratings, interferometers & other specialty fibers), integration with functional sensing materials sensitive to a particular physical parameter/analyte of interest, interrogation and multiplexing methods for tailoring bandwidth, sensitivity, and range. Therefore, the wide application of fiber optic sensors spans from real-time structural health monitoring of critical civil infrastructures such as buildings, bridges, oil & gas pipelines via static and dynamic strain sensing, monitoring of energy infrastructures such as electrical grids and transformers via detection of current, temperature and gas to biomedical applications in monitoring blood components, PH, and glucose levels. With hardened silica fibers through metallic coating and fluorine-doping, the application of sensors extends to harsh environments (corrosive, high temperature, high energy-radiation) of energy power plants including nuclear reactors. However, the degraded optical and mechanical properties above 1000 C set the limit for these amorphous silica fibers and comes short when intended to measure temperature beyond. The single crystalline fibers of sapphire and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), which are not available commercially yet in single-mode fiber form and still the subject of R&D efforts, are the alternate optical fibers sought for applications beyond silica fibers reach. In this presentation, I will discuss some of my fiber-optic sensor development work, primarily focused on the magnetic nanoparticles-functionalized fiber optic sensors for current and current-induced magnetic field monitoring of electrical power grids. I will also report on the progress made towards growth and development of single-mode single-crystal fibers of refractory oxides via the laser heated pedestal growth (LHPG) method. Bio Dr. Dolendra Karki is a senior research scientist working at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technological Laboratory (NETL) branch in Morgantown, West Virginia. He is a scientific member of Leidos research support team (LRST) contributing to NETL’s research efforts in developing advanced sensors and control systems for energy-related applications. Dr. Karki received his PhD degree in physics from Michigan Technological University (MTU) in 2018 and continued his research as a postdoctoral researcher, both under supervision of Prof. Miguel Levy. He joined MEMS department, University of Pittsburgh as a senior research associate in 2021 and as an assistant research professor in 2023 prior to joining NETL in 2024.
