MEAM Seminar: “Hierarchical Methods for Geometric Control of Underactuated, Free-Flying Robotic Systems”
Towne 337Free-flying robotic systems (such as multibody aerial and space vehicles) evolve on high-dimensional non-Euclidean manifolds subject to nonlinear, underactuated dynamics. Because such systems can rely only on the severely limited […]
Nano Seminar: “Conductive Nitrides for Plasmonics in the Visible Region: Properties and Applications”
Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesPlasmonic nanostructure based on silver and gold that produces LSPR to withstand ultrahigh temperatures without damage remains a great challenge for future ultra-compact integrated circuits, and high-power enabled photonic devices. […]
MEAM Seminar: “Photophoretic Levitating Structures Enabling Mesospheric and Martian Exploration”
Towne 337Studying certain regions of the atmosphere is hindered by available propulsion technologies. For example, the mesosphere, ranging from about 50 to 80 km in altitude, has air too thin for […]
MEAM Seminar: “Vibrating Beam MEMS Accelerometers for Gravity and Seismic Measurements”
Towne 337Advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have enabled the widespread development of sensors for a variety of consumer, automotive, and wearable healthcare electronics applications. However, there is increasing interest in the […]
