The elastic properties of materials are determined by a few material constants such as the Young’s modulus. Using super-structures one can effectively change these “constants”. In this way we obtain […]
Abstract In recent years, a new type of synthetic microparticle has captured the imagination of researchers across the physical and biological sciences. These so-called active colloids convert chemical or environmental […]
I will present recent work on the modeling of the structural response of shape memory alloy tubes, bars, and beams. We have developed a new constitutive model that captures pseudoelastic […]
Abstract Machine learning and multiscale modeling complement each other in a unique way, enabling us to seamlessly integrate big data and biophysical pathways and interpret the results while formulating truly […]
This event will be held virtually on Zoom - check email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. The idea that mechanical stresses influence the growth and form of organs and organisms […]
Abstract: Over the last decade, the idea that robots and agents might participate meaningfully in complex group and organizational contexts has developed from a promising vision into a reality. Robots […]

Until such a time when the world’s population has achieved herd immunity either through vaccination against or exposure to the SARS-Cov-2 virus, the most effective means for controlling the COVID-19 […]
Abstract In living organisms, translation of genetic information by the ribosome transforms the information embedded in DNA into actuating components, namely proteins. Though life itself is incredibly diverse at the […]
Abstract: With the shortage of rehabilitation clinicians in rural areas and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, remote rehabilitation (telerehab) fills an important gap in access to rehabilitation, especially for the treatment […]
