MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Social Robot Augmented Telepresence for Remote Assessment and Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper Extremity Impairment”

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

With the shortage of rehabilitation clinicians in rural areas and elsewhere, remote rehabilitation (telerehab) fills an important gap in access to rehabilitation. We have developed a first of its kind social robot augmented telepresence (SRAT) system — Flo — which consists of a humanoid robot mounted onto a mobile telepresence base, with the goal of […]

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Integrated Diamond-based Devices for Quantum Sensing and Communication”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has been integral to the advancement of quantum technologies. It has enabled key demonstrations in quantum networks and distributed quantum computing, as well as impressive proof-of-concept devices in nanoscale, sub-cellular imaging and sensing. The NV center - a point defect in diamond with an optically addressable electron spin - […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “The effects of platelet signaling inhibitors on clot development under flow”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract:  "Syk and Src family kinases (SFK) inhibitors interfere with signaling from GPVI, α2β1, αIIbβ3, and GPIb-IX-V to reduce thrombotic risk or induce bleeding episodes. Collagen-mediated clustering of platelet GPVI results in phosphorylation of SFKs such as Lyn and Fyn, and active Lyn is constitutively bound to GPVI to allow rapid signaling. During clotting under […]

MSE Ph.D. Defense: “Understanding the Fracture Behavior of Polymer-infiltrated Nanoparticle Films” (Yiwei Qiang)

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films (PINFs) are a new class of polymer nanocomposites that overcome many of the challenges in manufacturing highly loaded nanocomposite films (PNCFs). PINFs have a wide range of applications as functional coatings and membranes and have excellent mechanical properties, including high stiffness, hardness, scratch and wear resistance. Fracture toughness is another critical […]
