MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Shedding Light on Pain Therapeutics: From Externally-Triggerable Drug Delivery Systems to Bioelectronics”
Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesMEAM/GRASP Seminar: “Geometric Biologically Inspired Robots that Span Industries from Medical to Manufacturing”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThe animal kingdom is full of both human and non-human animals worthy of investigation, emulation and re-creation. As such, my research group has created a comprehensive research program focusing on biologically-inspired robots, and has applied them to search and rescue, minimally invasive surgery, and manufacturing. These robots inspire great scientific challenges in mechanism design, control, […]
MEAM Seminar: “Elastomeric Materials for Autonomic Force Transmission, Optoelectric Sensing, and 3D Printing Soft Robots”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThis talk will present multidisciplinary work from material composites and robotics. We have created new types of actuators, sensors, displays, and additive manufacturing techniques for soft robots and haptic interfaces. For example, we now use stretchable optical waveguides as sensors for high accuracy, repeatability, and material compatibility with soft actuators. For displaying information, we have […]
CIS Seminar: “Made to Order: Verifying Correctness and Security of Hardware through Event Orderings”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCorrectness and security problems in modern computer systems can result from problematic hardware event orderings and interleavings during an application’s execution. Since hardware designs are complex and since a single user-facing instruction can exhibit a variety of different hardware execution sequences, analyzing and verifying systems for correct event orderings is challenging. My work addresses these […]
MEAM Seminar: “Hairy Hydrodynamics”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesFlexible slender structures in flow are everywhere. While a great deal is known about individual flexible fibers interacting with fluids, considerably less work has been done on fiber ensembles — such as fur or hair — in flow. These hairy surfaces are abundant in nature and perform multiple functions from thermal regulation to water harvesting […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Disorder and Superconductivity in 2D TMD Heterostructures”
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCBE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Novel Electrolyte Design to Control Electrochemistry in Energy Storage Systems”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesESE Seminar: “Liquid Silicon: A New Computing Paradigm Enabled by Monolithic 3D Cross-Point Memory”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAlmost every subfield of electrical engineering and computer science are undergoing disruptive times. With Moore's Law coming to an end, an expanded roadmap for semiconductors beyond traditional CMOS scaling becomes unclear. At the other end, traditional application software development is being replaced by emerging machine learning techniques whose success will, in turn, rely on the […]
MEAM Seminar: “Fluid Mechanics and Turbulence in Extended Wind Farms”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesIn this presentation we discuss several properties of the flow structure and turbulence in the wind turbine array boundary layer (WTABL). This particular type of shear flow develops when the atmospheric boundary layer interacts with an array of large wind turbines. Based on such understanding, we aim to develop reduced order, analytically tractable models. These […]
