MEAM Seminar: “Tribofilms at the Asperity Scale”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The presentation will start with an introduction to tribology. This term was first used in a 1965 UK government report which identified the economic loss due to preventable wear and poor friction performance. It helped bring together the diverse community of engineers and scientists that need to collaborate in order to tackle the complex interactions […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Coarse-graining of Atomistic Models to the Continuum Scale with Applications to Elastodynamics and Diffusive Processes”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Nonequilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous in nature as well as industrial applications. However, their modeling and simulation faces a strong compromise between physical fidelity and computational efficiency, with atomistic simulations and continuum descriptions lying towards the two ends of this spectrum. In this dissertation we will first revisit several continuum modeling strategies for the formulation of […]

ESE Seminar: “Caching and Coding in Networks: Rate Efficiency, Age Efficiency”

Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Caching is of primary importance in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and in particular in information-centric network (ICN) architectures where the focal point is content rather than where it can be retrieved from. As a result, in ICN networks one can replicate and store (or cache) content at various nodes throughout the network so that it can […]
