Fluorescent Biosensor-Guided Engineering Of Enzyme Cascades For Electrochemical Applications, Nathan J. Ricks, Monica Brachi, Fnu Arun, Egor Baiarashov, Shelley D. Minteer, Ming C. Hammond

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Substrate channeling is a strategy for enhancing flux and yield in enzymatic cascades and is increasingly relevant for applications in biocatalysis, biotechnology, and bioelectrochemical systems. However, efforts to engineer channeling are limited by the lack of high-throughput methods to evaluate and optimize channeling efficiency. Here, we present a fluorescence-based screening assay to rapidly assess substrate channeling in a model system involving fumarase and malate dehydrogenase, two sequential enzymes from the Krebs cycle. By expressing genetic fusions in Escherichia coli, quantifying intermediate (malate) and product (NADH) formation in lysate using orthogonal fluorescent readouts, and comparing product-to-intermediate ratios, we screened a library …

Can Ai Fix Anti-Money Laundering? The Case For Federated Intelligence In Financial Crime Prevention, Matthias Connelly Mar 2026

Can Ai Fix Anti-Money Laundering? The Case For Federated Intelligence In Financial Crime Prevention, Matthias Connelly

Student Journal of Information Privacy Law

The global anti-money laundering (AML) regime is failing. Trillions of dollars are laundered each year, yet governments detect only a fraction of that activity, even as financial institutions spend hundreds of billions on compliance. In the United States, AML regulation has evolved from a retrospective, prosecution-oriented framework into an expansive, preventative regime that measures inputs rather than enforcement outcomes. Although artificial intelligence has demonstrated potential to improve detection, firm-siloed AI systems introduce substantial financial, technological, and systemic risks, including prohibitive development costs, data- privacy constraints, and market concentration among third-party service providers. This Article argues that federated learning offers a …

Friend Or Tether: How Regulation Can Cut The Strings Of Manipulative Chatbots, Steve Hammerton Mar 2026

Friend Or Tether: How Regulation Can Cut The Strings Of Manipulative Chatbots, Steve Hammerton

Student Journal of Information Privacy Law

In the time since AI chatbots and other LLMs became widely available to the public, there has been a pattern of deaths linked to interactions with this technology. While it was settled in early 2026, Garcia v. Character Technologies serves as a case study of how AI chatbots can negatively prey on vulnerable groups in the absence of interventions to mitigate harmful AI behaviors and tragic human outcomes. There is not a singular approach to regulating the harmful effects of predatory chatbots; however, this paper advocates for a harms-based regime influenced by protections in human-subject research. In a sense, AI …

A Hybrid Physics-Constrained Dnn Framework For Long-Term Cumulative Oil Production Forecasting, Mohamed H. Mohamed, Ghazwan N S Jreou Mar 2026

A Hybrid Physics-Constrained Dnn Framework For Long-Term Cumulative Oil Production Forecasting, Mohamed H. Mohamed, Ghazwan N S Jreou

Engineering and Technology Journal

Accurate long-term forecasting of cumulative oil production (Np) is critical for effective reservoir management, reserve estimation, and field development planning. However, existing decline curve analysis (DCA) techniques have limited extrapolation capability, while data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) models tend to produce physically unreasonable cumulative production profiles when extrapolated beyond the data range. Specifically, conventional AI-based forecasting models may display unreasonable long-term forecasting characteristics because of their inability to leverage basic knowledge of reservoir physics. This paper presents a new physics-constrained deep learning model to improve long-term cumulative oil production forecasting and overcome the existing limitations and challenges. The proposed model combines …
