CBE Seminar: “Engineering Pathways Across Biological Barriers”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract Engineering pathways across biological barriers is entering a new era with the rapid advancement of computational resources. My research group focuses on developing multi-scale simulation methods to elucidate the interfacial phenomena associated with biological barriers that play a role in life-threatening diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, and chronic infections. Our goal is to influence […]

MEAM MSE Thesis Defense: “Design and Characterization of an Origami-Inspired Robot that Swims via Jet Propulsion”

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

Underwater swimmers present unique opportunities for using bodily reconfiguration for self-propulsion. Origami-inspired designs are low-cost, fast to fabricate, robust, and can be used to create compliant mechanisms useful in energy-efficient underwater locomotion. This thesis demonstrates an origami-inspired robot that can change its body shape to ingest and expel water, creating a jet that propels it […]

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 - […]
