Superhydrophobic surfaces, formed by air entrapment within the cavities of hydrophobic solid substrates, offer a promising potential for hydrodynamic drag reduction. In several of the prototypical surface geometries the flows […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Decades of rigorous research in dynamical systems and control helped us integrate […]
Abstract The richness of liquid-liquid phase separation behavior in mixtures of oppositely-charged polyelectrolyte has been greatly illuminated recently in the polymer physics literature. Precise determinations of phase diagrams, measurements of […]
Despite the recent flurry of work employing machine learning to develop surrogate models to accelerate scientific computation, the "black-box" underpinnings of current techniques fail to provide the verification and validation […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Foundation models, trained on vast and diverse data encompassing the human experience, are […]
I will discuss the collective modes that spontaneously emerge in ciliary carpets and fish schools. In both systems, the fluid medium couples the motion of individuals in the group. Flow […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in the GRASP Treehouse and virtual attendance via Zoom. RSVPs required for in-person attendees. Please RSVP here. 9:30am – Welcome Remarks […]
Abstract Advancing the synthesis of small molecules is critical to the advent of new medicines, materials, and agrochemicals. Our lab has been exploring strategies in chemical synthesis -- both in […]
An incredible diversity of organisms, from bacteria and social insects to bird flocks and fish schools, self-organize to achieve collective tasks. They have inspired the development of decentralized algorithms and […]
*This seminar will be held in-person in Wu and Chen as well as virtually via Zoom. The seminar will NOT be recorded. ABSTRACT Imagine two people living in different parts […]
