ESE PhD Defense: “Orbital angular momentum microlasers: From the first demonstration to ultrafast tunability”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) carried by structured vortex light establishes a new information dimension, thereby promising high capacity optical communication and high performance computation in both classical and quantum regimes. Meanwhile, laser is the key driver in the field of optics and photonics over other photonic components. Since its discovery, laser technology has demonstrated strong […]

MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Delivering Expressive and Personalized Fingertip Tactile Cues”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

Wearable haptic devices have seen growing interest in recent years, but providing realistic tactile feedback is not a challenge that is soon to be solved. Daily interactions with physical objects elicit complex sensations at the fingertips. Furthermore, human fingertips exhibit a broad range of physical dimensions and perceptive abilities, adding increased complexity to the task […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Polymer Mechanics and Dynamics in Polymer Nanoparticle Composites

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  "Polymer nanoparticle composites (PNCs) have become an important topic of research due to their highly tunable macroscopic properties. Compared to the pure polymers, PNCs exhibit increase in mechanical strength, altered thermodynamic properties, and simultaneous improvement in permeability and selectivity in small molecule transport. Understanding the fundamental physics that control the behavior of both components […]

Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Light-inducible control of microtubule organization in minimal cell-like compartments” (Jessica Bermudez)

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Matthew Good are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Jessica Bermudez. The public is welcome to attend the Zoom meeting via the details below. Title: Light-inducible control of microtubule organization in minimal cell-like compartments Date: Wednesday, November 11th, 2020 Time: 12:30 PM EST Join Zoom Meeting […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “All-Passive Hardware Architectures for Neuromorphic Computation”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

Human brains demonstrate how simple computational primitives can be combined in massively parallel ways to produce networks capable of identifying complicated patterns in sensory data. In contrast, electronic computers adopt hardware architectures that process information serially, leading to higher latency and power consumption when implementing intrinsically parallel algorithms, such as neural networks. This software-hardware architectural […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | 3D Porous High Areal Capacity Lithium-ion Micro-Batteries Enabled by Electrochemical Techniques

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract: This study involves design and fabrication of scalable, high surface area, and porous 3D metal network-based Li-ion micro-batteries with energy and power that meet the demands of commercial microelectronics. A facile high current hydrogen-templated electroplating technique is utilized to generate 3D structures millimeter scale in z-direction through a facile route, which serve as the […]
