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 […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Identifying Material Fingerprints of Relevance to Understand Adsorbate-Surface Interactions Using First Principles Modeling and Machine Learning” (Genesis Quiles-Galarza)

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

Abstract: Adsorption of chemical species on surfaces of materials is one of the critical phenomenon governing the reactivity and activity of the material for surface and interface driven chemical reactions. […]
