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 […]

ESE Seminar: “High-Frequency Power Conversion with Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

With the commercialization of wide-bandgap power semiconductors, multi-MHz switching frequencies are more compelling and critical to meet new applications demanding leaps in power density and efficiency. In the past, studies of these converters reported significant gaps between measured and modeled performance, often attributed to dynamic RDS,ON in GaN HEMTs. In particular, the power semiconductors – […]
