SUMMARY:NASA Tech Talks
DESCRIPTION:We want HOU! Join us to discover NASA’s toughest tech challenges–and apply your skills and expertise to solve them. \nIn these presentations\, occurring the fourth Thursdays of the month\, Mr. Montgomery Goforth and other aerospace subject matter experts will discuss the technology development challenges faced by NASA’s Johnson Space Center and the surrounding Aerospace community in our ongoing efforts as the hub of human spaceflight. Presentations will focus on the ways in which these challenges\, and the associated opportunities\, can be leveraged by Houston’s innovation community. \nDr. Jeffrey J. Sweterlitsch has collaborated with Faraday Technology\, Inc.\, since 2017 when he served as a NASA Technical Monitor for Faraday Technology. During the September 28th presentation\, Dr. Sweterlitsch will discuss the hydrogen peroxide solution that Faraday Technology developed.  This solution can be used for several cleaning and disinfection applications\, including hard surfaces\, laundry\, medical applications\, and urine stabilization – all challenges that must be overcome for long-term human spaceflight missions to be feasible and successful\, as current state-of-the-art technologies rely on regular resupply of chemicals and consumables from Earth.  \nJoin us after the talk for drinks and networking at Second Draught! \nPast NASA Tech Talks have included: Montgomery B. Goforth discussing NASA Intellectual Property suitable for commercialization by small/start-up companies and Jared Daum discussing Orion’s parachutes and risk identification and mitigation that are showstoppers for the spaceflight parachute industry. Future NASA Tech Talks will include: dual-use (space/terrestrial) technologies in the areas of: \n\nAvionics / Communication / Sensors\nRadio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for ultra-long lived wireless sensors\nPower Storage and Distribution\nAutonomous & Robotics Systems\nExtra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) Systems\nVirtual/Augmented Reality in Human Spaceflight Training & Execution\nHuman Health & Performance / Human Systems Research\n\nAbout the Speakers \nJeffrey J. Sweterlitsch serves as the Atmosphere Revitalization Systems Technical Discipline Lead for the Life Support Systems Branch as part of the Crew and Thermal Systems Division at NASA\, JSC.  \nDr. Sweterlitsch joined Atmosphere Revitalization Systems group at JSC in 2005\, serving as a Project Engineer and Principal Investigator for several projects focusing on carbon dioxide removal systems and oxygen generation systems. He served as the Principal Investigator for a series of ground-based tests of an amine-based carbon dioxide and humidity control technology\, culminating in a human test subject test that was the first human test of Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) hardware that was planned for the Orion Crew Module. Following the success of the ground-based tests\, he served as the Principal Investigator for the Amine Swingbed Payload that operated onboard the International Space Station (ISS)\, where the technology successfully operated for more than twice its intended period of performance ending in 2014. Since 2017 he has coordinated oxygen generation technology maturation efforts for Exploration Missions across multiple projects and NASA centers\, focusing on both low-pressure and high-pressure oxygen systems. He has also served as the NASA Technical Monitor for a variety of Small Business Innovation Research projects\, including trace gas analyzers\, novel sorbent technologies\, and electrolysis technologies\, including in-situ hydrogen peroxide generation for spacecraft habitation systems. Dr. Sweterlitsch was born in Indiana\, raised in Vermont\, received his BSE (‘96) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania\, and his MS (‘99) and PhD (‘02) in Chemical Engineering from Iowa State University. \nDr. Sweterlitsch has collaborated with Faraday Technology\, Inc.\, since 2017 when he served as a NASA Technical Monitor for a series of Phase II\, Phase IIE\, and Phase III SBIR contracts with Faraday. Faraday Technology developed a technology to electrochemically generate aqueous hydrogen peroxide using only air or oxygen and deionized water as the feedstock\, resulting in up to one liter per day of 3% aqueous hydrogen peroxide. This hydrogen peroxide solution can be used for several cleaning and disinfection applications\, including hard surfaces\, laundry\, medical applications\, and urine stabilization – all challenges that must be overcome for long-term human spaceflight missions to be feasible and successful\, as current state-of-the-art technologies rely on regular resupply of chemicals and consumables from Earth. Dr. Sweterlitsch will be presenting Faraday’s technology development efforts over the past 5+ years. \nMontgomery B. Goforth serves as the Assistant Director\, Strategic Pursuits & Partnerships – Engineering Directorate\, NASA JSC. \nMr. Goforth has more than 30 years of experience as both Engineer and Manager in a variety of highly technical space and defense-related efforts. He joined NASA in 1990 as part of the Mission Operations Directorate\, working on planning systems and automated procedure execution tools for the International Space Station (ISS). He became Deputy Project Manager for the Portable Computer System\, the laptop used for command and control of the ISS\, in 1996\, and ultimately became Chief of the Branch responsible for all laptops onboard ISS and the Space Shuttle. \nIn 2002 he moved to the ISS Avionics and Software Office as Manager of the Flight Software Development Office and later served as Chief Engineer. During 2005 he spent several months at NASA Headquarters working in the Robotics Lunar Exploration Program. In 2006 he joined the Constellation Program as Chief of Avionics and Software Test and Verification and became Chief of the Software and Avionics Integration Office in 2007. In this role he was responsible for leading a large nation-wide Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) organization which provided program-level coordination\, oversight\, integration and management of the system-of-systems avionics and software\, including the coordination of integrated modeling and simulation and test activities across the Constellation program and the technical integration of Constellation’s Command\, Control\, Communications\, and Information (C3I) architecture.  \nIn 2011\, he joined the Avionic Systems Division to support their Strategic Planning and Partnership efforts. In 2015\, he moved onto Engineering Directorate Staff to support Strategic Pursuits and Partnerships. In this role\, he put together a framework to better focus Engineering’s efforts toward Human Spaceflight technology and systems development consistent with JSC and Agency goals for exploration. This framework guides Engineering’s internal investments and external partnerships supporting Lunar and Mars Exploration.  \nMr. Goforth was born in East Texas\, raised in Southern California and Arizona\, and graduated from Rice University (BSME 1982\, MSME 1987). Prior to coming to Johnson Space Center\, he was employed by a small defense contractor specializing in anti-submarine warfare.

SUMMARY:Innovation on Tap: Marcia O'Malley\, Rice University
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Marcia O’Malley\, Associate Dean for Research and Innovation\, George R. Brown School of Engineering\nThomas Michael Panos Family Professor in Mechanical Engineering\, Rice University.  \nConveying touch feedback via wearables \nVibrotactile haptic feedback is ubiquitous for notifications and alerts in portable devices such as phones\, smart watches\, and fitness trackers\, but the set of possible notifications is limited by the nature of the small vibration motors so often used to deliver such cues. Wearable haptics refers to systems worn on the body or integrated into clothing that can provide haptic feedback to the wearer in a wide range of forms\, such as vibrotactile\, skin stretch\, pressure\, and kinesthetic feedback. The potential for wearable haptics is supported by technological advancements in sensing and actuation that allow for the design and deployment of flexible materials\, fabrics\, and small-footprint actuators that can augment and enhance human performance. While rigid and grounded haptic feedback devices have been explored as a means to train new motor skills\, rehabilitate movement coordination after neurological injury\, and even augment human force output capabilities in tasks such as lifting or running\, the application space is limited due to the weight and scale of such devices. Wearable haptic devices seek to overcome the limitations of rigid and grounded haptic devices. In recent years\, my group has been designing novel wearable haptic systems that provide multiple haptic modalities of feedback to the user\, including vibration\, skin stretch\, pressure\, and kinesthetic feedback\, all packaged in bands that can be worn on the arm. We have developed these systems to enhance communication\, provide haptic feedback to amputees using prosthetics\, to train surgeons using virtual reality simulators\, and to enhance user experiences in VR. In this talk\, I will present some of our wearable haptic systems\, describe our target applications\, and highlight the distinguishing features our hardware and haptic rendering paradigms. \nWe invite attendees to join the featured speaker and event attendees for networking at Second Draught after the talk. \nMarcia O’Malley is the Thomas Michael Panos Family Professor in Mechanical Engineering\, Computer Science\, and Electrical and Computer Engineering\, and the Associate Dean for Research and Innovation in the George R. Brown School of Engineering at Rice University. In July of 2023\, she will transition from Associate Dean to Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Rice. She is also an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at both Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. She received her BS in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University\, and her MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Vanderbilt University. Her research is in the areas of haptics and robotic rehabilitation\, with a focus on the design and control of wearable robotic devices for training and rehabilitation. She has twice received the George R. Brown Award for Superior Teaching at Rice University. O’Malley was a recipient of both the ONR Young Investigator award and the NSF CAREER Award. She is a Fellow of the ASME\, the IEEE\, and the AIMBE. \nAbout Innovation on Tap: Disruptive Technology Talks with Houston’s Leading Researchers \nIndustrial innovation is in the DNA of Houston (energy\, health\, space\, and transportation)\, and the Ion is at the forefront of moving the city to become a technology destination\, a central place where we support bold moves that embrace the innovation economy at an industrial scale. The Ion is a place where we accelerate disruption by connecting people and ideas to create a future that will not only change Houston but change the world. \nIon Innovation on Tap lecture series is focused on bridging world-leading academic research to the broader innovation ecosystem\, creating connections and partnerships that will not only accelerate translation and commercialization but form relationships that will drive future fundamental advances needed to address fundamental problems like decarbonization\, personalized health care\, and create resilient and sustainable livable communities. \nExamples of disruptive technology include but are not limited to AI and machine learning\, robotics\, synthetic biology\, neuro-engineering\, nano-materials\, cyber security\, imaging\, blockchain\, and quantum computing. \nThe lecture series will feature leading researchers spanning engineering\, science\, and design\, showcasing advanced technology and innovation from academic research labs and programs. Largely inaccessible and buried in journals and conference proceedings\, technology will be presented in an accessible TED-style lecture format with ample networking opportunities. The disruptive technology lecture series will serve as a magnifying glass connecting fundamental technology to people and organizations that can benefit and help activate technology through commercialization. More than that\, the lecture series will serve as a front door for collaboration between researchers and industry partners and/or the formation of new technology startups that will help establish Ion and Houston as a global hub for innovation.
