MSE David P. Pope Distinguished Lecture: “Intelligentsia of Nano-Architected Hierarchical Materials”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

  Creation of reconfigurable and multi-functional materials can be achieved by incorporating architecture into material design. In our research, we design and fabricate three-dimensional (3D) nano-architected materials that can exhibit superior and often tunable thermal, photonic, electrochemical, biochemical, and mechanical properties at extremely low mass densities (lighter than aerogels), which renders them useful and enabling […]

Penn Engineering Commencement 2023: Doctoral Ceremony

Irvine Auditorium 3401 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Control and Optimization over Large-Scale Networks”

Room 452 C, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The future of the Internet of Things (IoT) envisions very large networks of spatially distributed devices cooperating to solve common tasks in both industrial and urban environments. That vision fundamentally relies on the use of wireless communication across such networks to enable flexibility, mobility, and dynamic configurations. To help realize that vision, we discuss three […]

Physics PhD Thesis Defense: “Characterization of Solid State Defect Systems For Quantum Computing, Communication, and Sensing”

Towne 319 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, United States

Solid state defects have emerged as a leading candidate for platforms in quantum computing, communication, and sensing. The electronic spins localized around these defects have many advantages such as room temperature coherence, spin dependent optical transitions which enable visible-wavelength initialization and readout, and resonant frequencies compatible with widely available off-the-shelf microwave hardware. Furthermore, the nuclear […]

MEAM Seminar: “Addressing Sensitivity-Induced Challenges in Modeling Rigid-Body Systems with Frictional Impacts”

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

Imperfect but useful physical models play a crucial role in planning and controlling robot locomotion and manipulation. However, as the field shifts toward complex real-world applications, model accuracy requirements are increasing while calibration data is becoming scarcer. Consequently, model inaccuracy or the sim2real gap often hinders the development of performant robotics algorithms. Frictional contact, the […]
