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 exhibit nonequilibrium effects such as pressure gradient, flow separation, and mean three-dimensionality. However, the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of high-Reynolds-number wall-bounded turbulent flows is not […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Controlling Fracture Behavior Through Architecture”

DRL A8 209 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Many natural materials achieve excellent combinations of mechanical properties through their micro- and nano-scale structures, which leverage a level of complexity currently unmatched in engineering design. Recent advances in digital manufacturing have enabled the introduction of these fine-scale architectures to improve the mechanical properties of materials, but their intricacy still lags far behind that of […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “A Multifaceted Approach to CO2 Emissions Reductions and Removals” (Maxwell Pisciotta)

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: The scientific consensus is that climate change is not only actively occurring, but that it is irrevocably due to human activities associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions have been accumulating in the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution. This thesis specifically focuses on one greenhouse gas in particular, CO 2 […]

Title: The Origin and Factors Affecting Differentiation of Progenitor Cells in Tendon-to-Bone Integration Date: April 16, 2024 Time: 9:00 AM Location: SCTR (Smilow Center for Translational Research) 12-146AB The public is welcome […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Do the Twist: Toward Agile Control of an Axially Twisting Robotic Quadruped”

David Rittenhouse Laboratory Building, Room 4C4 209 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Even as they continue to improve, legged robots pale in comparison to their biological counterparts. This discrepancy is at least partly due to robots possessing an order of magnitude fewer degrees of freedom. In fact, most dynamically capable quadrupedal robots lack any degrees of freedom in the torso, opting instead for a simpler, single, rigid […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Proteome-seq: Sequencing-Based Readout of Proteomic Analytical Assay” (Mariia (Masha) Alibekova Long)

Smilow Center for Translational Research in SCTR 11-146AB

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. At the core of the analytical $d$-band adsorption model is the correlation between the adsorption energy of a chemical species (molecule or reaction intermediate) on […]
