CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Establishing the Transient Mass Balance of Thrombosis Under Venous Flow: From A Microfluidic Approach To A Reduced Model

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  Coagulation kinetics are well established in well plates assays in which human plasma clots isotropically. However, less is known about thrombin kinetics and transport within clots formed under hemodynamic flow. Using microfluidic perfusion of Factor XIIa-inhibited human whole blood over a 250-micron long patch of collagen/tissue factor and immunoassays of the effluent for fragment […]

MEAM Seminar: “Breaking Bones In situ: Multiscale Bioinspired Functional Materials”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

In structural materials engineering, we often aim to create materials that are simultaneously strong, tough and lightweight- a combination classically considered mutually exclusive. Biogenic composite materials such as bone exhibit a combination of these properties exceeding that of their constituents, a feat generally credited to their hierarchal structure, down to the nanoscale. In this talk, […]

ESE Seminar: “Integrated Nonlinear and Quantum Photonic Devices”

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

Recent advances in nanofabrication technology have allowed for the realization of ultra-low loss nanophotonic waveguides and is opening up exciting opportunities for next-generation nonlinear photonic circuits with higher integration density, advanced functionalities, and ultralow energy consumption. Those features are critical for advancing photonic technologies in both classical and quantum domains. In this talk, I will […]

CIS & ESE Seminar: “Wireless Systems that See the Invisible with Machine Learning: Through-Wall Vision, Emotion Recognition, and Health Monitoring”

Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

Today, there is a huge interest in sensing technologies that can sense people and monitor their health. Yet, existing solutions require people to wear different sensors and devices on their bodies. In contrast, my research uses wireless signals to sense people without any physical contact. Wireless signals, which have been traditionally used for data communication, […]
