Many interesting problems in nonlinear mechanics, from classical to more recent, pertain to applications with high initial symmetry: from the buckling of thin walled structures to the morphing in architected […]
Ten years into the revival of deep networks and artificial intelligence, we propose a theoretical framework that sheds light on understanding deep networks within a bigger picture of intelligence in […]
This talk will begin by discussing phase transitions in high-dimensional statistical inference problems. Some effort will be made to distinguish between problems with random structure (e.g., random codes and sparse […]
Effective theories play a fundamental role in how we reason about the world. Although real physical processes are very complicated, useful models abstract away the irrelevant degrees of freedom to […]
In this talk, I will discuss my group’s work on fabricating micro- and nanosensing platforms for health monitoring. My group has developed novel electronic sensing modalities and has demonstrated their […]
Advancements in semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) “chip” technology over the past 60+ years have enabled exponential growth in chip functionality with exponential reduction in cost per transistor, resulting in the […]
A non-local (gradient) plasticity model for porous metals that accounts for deformation-induced anisotropy is presented. The model is based on the work of Ponte Castañeda and co-workers on porous materials […]
Data compression is enjoying a renaissance fueled by an unprecedented growth in both the amount of data being generated and our reliance on powerful computation. At its heart is an […]
Abstract: Vibrational spectroscopies at mid-infrared frequencies provide excellent probes to characterize functional groups and their immediate chemical environment. However, from a thermodynamic and dynamic point of view, only the ground […]
The end of traditional transistor scaling brings unprecedented new opportunities to semiconductor devices and electronics. We are at the onset of a new technology revolution, which will focus on distributed […]
