CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Understanding and Predicting the Chemical Properties of Complex Oxides using First-principles Methods

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  Transition metal oxides are at the forefront of several applications in catalysis, energy conversion and storage, and are bound to play a pivotal role in our transition to a sustainable energy future. However, vast differences in the electronic structure among different transition metal oxides make them highly complex materials to understand and predict chemical […]

MEAM Seminar: “Mechanical Properties of Fibrous Network Materials”

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

Fibrous network materials are ubiquitous both in nature and in synthetic materials, and therefore it is important to understand the general properties of the materials and the physics and microstructures on which those properties depend. Specifically, since fibrous networks generally perform a structural function, their mechanical properties are of critical importance. We discuss here certain […]

MEAM Seminar: “Dynamic Response of Resonant Metamaterials and Other Composites”

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

Composite materials under dynamic loading exhibit interesting emergent phenomena. Most notably are phononic crystals and metamaterials which can possess frequency dependent and negative elastic moduli and density. In general, the constitutive response is non-local in space and time and depends on both the strain and velocity. Additionally, scattering and local resonance effects can lead to […]

Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Machine Learning for Robot Motion Planning”

Robot motion planning is a field that encompasses many different problems and algorithms. From the traditional piano mover's problem to more complicated kinodynamic planning problems, motion planning requires a broad breadth of human expertise and time to design well functioning algorithms. A traditional motion planning pipeline consists of modeling a system and then designing a […]
