Achieving net-zero transport requires coordinated action across energy carriers, carbon flows and mitigation of other pollutants. This talk presents a multiscale engineering framework for sustainable mobility, organised around three complementary pathways: <u>f</u>uel development (F), <u>g</u>reenhouse-gas management (G) and mitigating <u>h</u>armful emissions beyond CO<sub>2</sub> (H). First, using solar-driven CO<sub>2</sub> conversion as an example, I will show how the precise transport of light, heat and fluids enables the coordinated design of materials, devices and systems, maximising solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency. Second, I will explore on-board carbon capture for road and maritime transport, together with distributed carbon-removal networks that use existing vehicles, ventilation systems and transport infrastructure. Third, I will discuss particulate matter generated by brake and tyre wear, illustrating how materials engineering can balance filtration efficiency, pressure drop and energy demand. Finally, the talk considers how techno-economic assessment and the interplay between technology, business and policy can move laboratory innovations towards industrial deployment.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Dr Xiangkun (Elvis) Cao (<a href=\"https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/elvis.cao\">https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/elvis.cao</a>) is currently an Assistant Professor at Imperial College London, holding joint appointments in Mechanical Engineering and the Grantham Institute.

However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFrom <strong>October 8 to December 17, 2026</strong>, the <strong>Sustainable Labs: Get Involved</strong> sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>. This tool enables laboratories, platforms, centers, and central units to estimate their carbon footprint, identify major emission hotspots, and support informed decision-making to reduce their environmental impact through targeted actions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHere are the planned sessions : \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 8th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 13th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 22th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 27th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 5th 12:15-13:00(online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 10th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 19th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 24th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 3rd 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday December 8th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 17th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSessions can be held in English and/ or French depending on the participants. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n→ Please register <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7Cp6LevgtBLtsWIsKr2Ec_HPGjJgimmwEaGAN5U4M4-2rrg/viewform\">here</a>.

This talk asks a simpler question that has received far less attention. When should students be allowed to use AI so that it helps their learning?<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this lunch&LEARN session, Janne Rotter turns to a question that's been largely overlooked: not how, but when should students be allowed to use AI for it to actually support learning? Janne will present findings from a study of 105 university students comparing three conditions: unrestricted AI access, no access at all, and a \"timed\" condition where students could only turn to AI after first attempting the task on their own.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDrawing on multiple pedagogical theories to build a decision rule for when access should open up, the results show that students in the timed condition outperformed those with unrestricted access on an objective post-test, and had a more accurate sense of their own understanding, without an explicit metacognitive prompting.

There exists a critical Weber number which separates, on average, breaking from non-breaking bubbles. However, this limit is only defined in a statistical sense as an a priori stable bubble can encounter a large velocity or pressure fluctuation and break. In addition, real flows are rarely homogeneous and stationary. In this work, we aim at quantifying the probability for a bubble to break as a function of the time spent within the turbulence region and to rationalize the bubble breakup time.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTo do so, running direct numerical simulations, we first characterize the linear stochastic deformations of bubbles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We show that a 1D model describing oblate/prolate deformations is sufficient to capture most of bubble deformations, as well as predicting bubble lifetime provided the forcing statistics and the bubble response are correctly parametrized. To further rationalize the forcing statistics measured in the DNS, we propose to decompose the turbulent flow field into a sequence of elementary flows and to characterize bubble dynamics in each of them. We identify two main effective flow candidates, namely the uniaxial straining flow (USF) and the biaxial straining flow (BSF). While the first one has received considerable attention, little is known on the dynamics of bubble in BSF. In this talk, we present the linear stability analysis of bubble deformations in this flow. We enlighten surprising drift modes moving upstream as well as a new deformation mode with azimuthal wave number m=2, which might explain some of the breakage observed experimentally in turbulence.</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"> </div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><strong>Bio: </strong></div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Aliénor Rivière is an SNSF Fellow at the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Instabilities (LFMI) at EPFL, where she works with François Gallaire on the stability and dynamics of bubbles in model flows.

A prominent rupture mode is self-healing slip pulses, which feature a finite slipping zone. The physics of slip pulses is qualitatively different from their expanding crack-like counterparts, as they involve the interplay between leading-edge contact breakage and trailing-edge re-strengthening (healing). The latter is intrinsically related to generic properties of frictional interactions at contacting interfaces, absent in ordinary fracture of bulk materials. In this talk, I will review a recently developed theory of two-dimensional slip pulses, which revealed intriguing dynamical properties of slip pulses and provided extensive predictions for their spatiotemporal evolution. The theoretical predictions are supported by large-scale numerical simulations and, more recently, by extensive laboratory experiments. The implications and potential applications of the theory will be discussed as time permits. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong>:\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2309374120\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in new window\">The dynamics of unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [PNAS 120, e2309374120 (2023)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X26000142\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">An equation of motion for unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [EPSL 678, 119831 (2026)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.26065\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">Lab earthquakes confirm the theory of frictional slip pulses</a> [arXiv:2608.26065 (2026)]</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography:</strong><br>\r\nEran Bouchbinder is a Professor at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.
