MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Imperfect Adhesion Between Elastic Solids”

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

Surface force-mediated adhesion, i.e. via van der Waals forces, is critical for the direct bonding of bulk solids in the absence of an adhesive layer. However, no two surfaces are perfectly flat nor conformal and some have intentional patterns, which leads to imperfect adhesion, i.e. interface adhesion strength that is below its ideal strength. In […]

CBE Dissertation Defense: “Visualizing Genetics: Quantifying Gene Expression Through Genetic and Epigenetic Modifications”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

"Visualizing Genetics: Quantifying Gene Expression Through Genetic and Epigenetic Modifications" Abstract: Precise control over gene expression is essential for proper development of an organism. However, genes are regulated in a variety of ways, the mechanisms of which are not well understood. This thesis explores gene regulation at two different levels: genetic control and epigenetic control. […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “A Spin-Lattice Dynamics Model with Improved Energy and Angular Momentum Conservation”

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

Magnetic materials are critically important in a wide range of application areas including data storage, medicine, energy harvesting, and refrigeration. Atomistic numerical simulations of magnetic materials can provide important insight in these applications because they offer the ability to track phenomena such as magnon-phonon interactions, ultrafast demagnetization processes, and magnetization and energy at time and […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation: “Biomechanical Evaluation of the Role of Decorin and Biglycan during Neonatal Tendon Development and Healing” (Zak Beach)

JMB Reunion Auditorium 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Lou Soslowsky are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Zak Beach. Title:  Biomechanical Evaluation of the Role of Decorin and Biglycan during Neonatal Tendon Development and Healing Date: Tuesday, September 13, 2022 Time:  2pm-3pm Location: JMB Class of 62 Auditorium

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Lattice Theory in Multi-Agent Systems”

Moore 317 200 S 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Ordered sets model signals such as binary relations, concepts, partitions, rankings, matchings, events, as well as other taxa of information, temporal, hierarchical, relational, or, in general, logical in nature. We argue that (order-) lattice-based (networked) multi-agent systems constitute a broad class of systems in which data fusion, consensus, synchronization, and other collaborative tasks are described […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Room-temperature Electrochemical Healing of Structural Metals”

Greenberg Lounge (Room 114), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

For over 6,000 years, repairing high-strength metallic materials has required high temperatures and large energy inputs. Likewise, recent innovations in self-healing and repairable metals have remained limited by the need for heating, the small size of repairable cracks, and the low strength and constrained chemical composition of healed metals. While welding remains the most widely […]
