Using molecular simulation\, kinetic modeling\, and multiscale co mputation\, the work reveals how reaction pathways\, transport\, and parti cle growth govern combustion chemistry\, nanoparticle formation\, and inte ractions at complex interfaces\, where the most important events are often too small and too fast to observe directly. This mechanistic perspective extends beyond flames toward engineered particles and health-relevant mate rials designed for increasingly complex environments. The unifying thread is the use of molecular insight to understand mechanisms\, guide design\, and connect fundamental processes to applications in energy\, environment\ , and health. \nBio \nAngela Violi is the Dennis Assanis Collegiate Profes sor at the University of Michigan\, where she is also the Arthur F. Thurna u Professor and Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Mechanic al Engineering. She holds appointments in Mechanical Engineering\, Chemica l Engineering\, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Applied Phys ics\, and the Biophysics Program. Her research lies at the intersection of combustion\, nanoscience\, molecular simulation\, and biological systems\ , with a focus on using computational methods to understand how molecular- scale processes determine the formation\, transformation\, and function of particles and materials. \nVioli received her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Naples “Federico II” in Italy. Bef ore joining the University of Michigan faculty in 2006\, she held research appointments at the University of Utah\, and at a Department of Energy AS CI center focused on science-based simulations of accidental fires and exp losions. \nHer work has made foundational contributions to computational n anoscience in combustion\, including multiscale approaches to carbonaceous nanoparticle formation and atomistic descriptions of particle inception a nd growth. Her research has also addressed reaction mechanisms for novel f uels\, combustion-generated nanoparticles and their environmental and heal th effects\, and interactions between engineered nanomaterials and biologi cal systems. \nIn 2019\, she led a U-M BlueSky Initiative that expanded he r research into a new interdisciplinary direction\, bringing together expe rtise in engineering\, medicine\, microbiology\, chemistry\, and computati onal science to explore nanoparticle design for health-relevant applicatio ns. \nShe has delivered numerous invited\, keynote\, plenary\, and disting uished lectures internationally and has mentored research scientists\, stu dents\, and postdoctoral researchers across multiple engineering and scien ce disciplines. \nHer honors include the University of Michigan College of Engineering Research Excellence Award\, the Arthur F. Thurnau Professorsh ip\, selection as U-M’s nominee for the Michigan Distinguished Professor of the Year competition\, the ASME George Westinghouse Silver Medal\, the NSF CAREER Award\, and election as a Fellow of the Combustion Institute. \n  \n  \nThe lecture will be followed by a reception from 4:00 – 5:00 PM. \nRSVP by September 4 LAST-MODIFIED:20260828T022418Z LOCATION:Johnson Rooms\, LEC\, 1221 Beal Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI\, 48109\, Un ited States URL:https://me.engin.umich.edu/news-events/event/angela-violi-collegiate-p rofessorship-lecture-and-reception/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Mechanical Engineering X-SOURCE-URL:https://me.engin.umich.edu/news-events/news/living-and-learni ng-at-the-university-of-michigan END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Meet Michigan: Mechanical Engineering Graduate Discovery Series – General Session DTSTART:20260914T230000Z DTEND:20260915T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260905T002446Z UID:10002472-1789412400-1789416000@me.engin.umich.edu CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Discover University of Michigan Mechanical Engineering\nThe M eet Michigan: Mechanical Engineering Graduate Discovery Series offers exc lusive virtual sessions and an in-person event experience designed for pro spective graduate students like you.

Join our informational webinar to lear n about four distinct programs: Automotive Engineering (MEng)\, Manufactur ing (MEng and DEng)\, and Global Automotive and Manufacturing Engineering (MEng).\nThis session will give you a comprehensive overview of each degre e. You will learn what makes each program unique\, who it serves\, and how it can help you achieve your professional goals. Whether you are a workin g engineer looking to deepen your expertise\, a recent graduate exploring your next step\, or a professional considering a career pivot\, this webin ar will help you understand your options and determine which program is th e right fit for you. \nDuring the session\, you will hear about the struct ure and focus of each program\, the types of courses and experiences you c an expect\, and how graduates have applied their degrees in the field. We will also discuss the flexibility built into each program to accommodate w orking professionals and students with varying schedules and commitments. \nFaculty members will join the webinar to share their perspectives and pr ovide additional context about the programs. They will answer your questio ns about the academic experience\, explain how the programs differ from on e another\, and help you understand what to expect as a student. You will have the chance to engage directly with the people who design and teach in these programs. \nThis is a great opportunity to get the information you need in a low-pressure setting. No matter where you are in your decision-m aking process\, you are welcome to attend and explore what these graduate engineering degrees have to offer. We encourage you to bring your question s and take advantage of this time with our faculty and staff. \nWe look fo rward to seeing you there. \nRegister for the October 5 webinar.

Join our informational webinar to lear n about four distinct programs: Automotive Engineering (MEng)\, Manufactur ing (MEng and DEng)\, and Global Automotive and Manufacturing Engineering (MEng).\nThis session will give you a comprehensive overview of each degre e. You will learn what makes each program unique\, who it serves\, and how it can help you achieve your professional goals. Whether you are a workin g engineer looking to deepen your expertise\, a recent graduate exploring your next step\, or a professional considering a career pivot\, this webin ar will help you understand your options and determine which program is th e right fit for you. \nDuring the session\, you will hear about the struct ure and focus of each program\, the types of courses and experiences you c an expect\, and how graduates have applied their degrees in the field. We will also discuss the flexibility built into each program to accommodate w orking professionals and students with varying schedules and commitments. \nFaculty members will join the webinar to share their perspectives and pr ovide additional context about the programs. They will answer your questio ns about the academic experience\, explain how the programs differ from on e another\, and help you understand what to expect as a student. You will have the chance to engage directly with the people who design and teach in these programs. \nThis is a great opportunity to get the information you need in a low-pressure setting. No matter where you are in your decision-m aking process\, you are welcome to attend and explore what these graduate engineering degrees have to offer. We encourage you to bring your question s and take advantage of this time with our faculty and staff. \nWe look fo rward to seeing you there. \nRegister for the November 9 webinar LAST-MODIFIED:20260828T022418Z URL:https://me.engin.umich.edu/news-events/event/graduate-engineering-degr ees-webinar-november-2026/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Mechanical Engineering X-SOURCE-URL:https://me.engin.umich.edu/news-events/news/living-and-learni ng-at-the-university-of-michigan END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Write with ME!
