MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Implementation and Performance of Wall Models for Large Eddy Simulation of Non-equilibrium Turbulent Boundary Layers”

Room B13, Chemistry Building 231 S. 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Accurate prediction of high-Reynolds-number wall-bounded turbulent flows is essential for the understanding and flow control of many engineering applications such as aircraft, turbomachinery, and marine vehicles. Additionally, most practical flows […]

ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Multiferroic Micro Electromechanical Systems for Magnetic Sensing and Wireless Power Transfer in Biomedical Applications”

Fisher Bennett Hall, Room 401 3340 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Multiferroic micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) enable small, room temperature, low power magnetic sensing and wireless power transfer (WPT) in biomedical applications. Current biomagnetic sensing relies on sensitive magnetometers like superconducting quantum […]

ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Cellular Cosheaves, Graphic Statics, and Mechanics”

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

Methods from algebraic topology enable simplifications and extensions of fundamental concepts in structural and mechanical engineering. Chief among these tools are cellular sheaves and cosheaves - abstract mathematical data structures […]
