Abstract: Emerging networking architectures are allowing for flexible and reconfigurable packet processing at line rate both on the switch and the NIC. Despite their promising new functionality, programmable switches and […]
Abstract: Biological species routinely collaborate for their mutual benefit or compete for available resources, thereby displaying dynamic behavior that is challenging to replicate in synthetic systems. Here, we use computational […]
Additive manufacturing (AM) greatly expands the design freedom and near-net shape production of metallic components across multiple length scales. However, defects arising from starting materials, processing conditions, and post-processing may […]

Liquid crystal elastomers are rubbery solids with liquid crystal mesogens incorporated into their main chains. They display an isotropic to nematic phase transformation accompanied by a large spontaneous deformation. This […]
In the first part of the presentation, we discuss a double-stranded elastic rod (birod) model and apply it to study allosteric interactions between two ligands on DNA. Next, we combine […]
Abstract: Biomaterial implants have a long history in the clinic, but regenerative biomaterials and regenerative medicine therapies, in general, have been slow to reach patients. Clinical translation provides a unique […]
Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are under intense investigation due to their interesting physical properties and superior performance in thin-film based optoelectronic devices. The structural diversity embedded in the system […]
Abstract: Mathematical Justification of Slender Body Theory Systems in which thin filaments interact with the surrounding fluid abound in science and engineering. The computational and analytical difficulties associated with treating […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. David Meaney are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of David Gabrieli. This event is open to the public.
