Sustainable transportation and aviation are critical to address climate change and renewable energy powered battery electric vehicles represent a promising path towards this goal. I will discuss the performance metrics needed of batteries for electric land and air vehicles, and assess the energy-efficiency of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft compared to ground vehicles. […]

Our current data ecosystem leaves individuals, groups, and society vulnerable to a wide range of harms, ranging from privacy violations to subversion of autonomy to discrimination to erosion of trust in institutions. In this talk, I'll discuss the Data Co-ops Project, a multi-institution, multi-disciplinary effort I co-lead with Kobbi Nissim. The Project seeks to organize our understanding of […] |

ABSTRACT: Neurosymbolic learning is an emerging paradigm which, at its core, combines the otherwise complementary worlds of classical algorithms and deep learning; in doing so, it ushers in more accurate, interpretable, and domain-aware solutions for today’s most complex machine learning challenges. I will begin by reviewing the various fundamentals, such as algorithmic supervision, symbolic reasoning, […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT The human fascination to mimic ultra-efficient living beings like insects and birds has led to the rise of small autonomous robots. Smaller robots are safer, more agile and are task-distributable as swarms. One might wonder, why do we […]

Pathological calcification is a wide-spread phenomenon in the human body, in which calcium minerals form in soft tissues and are found in both healthy and diseased tissues. One example are microcalcifications (MCs), which are primarily biological apatite and occur in cancerous and benign breast pathologies. MCs are key mammographic indicators, however, little is known about […]

*This is a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Domains such as high-mix manufacturing, domestic robotics, space exploration, etc., are key areas of interest for robotics. Yet, the difficulty of anticipating the role of robots in these domains is a crucial hurdle for the adoption of robots. […]

This is a hybrid seminar: Check email for the zoom link and passcode. "Cellular and Acellular Strategies for Heart and Lung Repair" Therapeutic tissue regeneration using stem cells has been hampered by the controversial identity of resident stem cells, low cell retention/engraftment, tumorigenecity and immunogenicity issues. Taking a bioengineering/biomaterials approach, this lecture will introduce the uses of drug delivery and biomaterials […] |

A non-local (gradient) plasticity model for porous metals that accounts for deformation-induced anisotropy is presented. The model is based on the work of Ponte Castañeda and co-workers on porous materials containing randomly distributed ellipsoidal voids. It takes into account the evolution of porosity and the evolution/development of anisotropy due to changes in the shape and […] |

As 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing techniques have become more common, it is increasingly possible to produce structures with nearly arbitrary internal geometric and compositional features, opening up vast new design space for engineers. In this work, we consider a kirigami-inspired, flexible architected material comprising rotating squares joined at their vertices. The rotational degrees […] |

Fluids confined in nanopores are ubiquitous in nature and technology. In recent years, the interest in confined fluids has grown, driven by research on unconventional hydrocarbon resources -- shale gas and shale oil, much of which are confined in nanopores. When fluids are confined in nanopores, many of their properties differ from those of the […]

Data compression is enjoying a renaissance fueled by an unprecedented growth in both the amount of data being generated and our reliance on powerful computation. At its heart is an increasingly intricate interplay between compression, artificial neural networks, and (our) biological neural networks. I will survey some related research in which I have been involved, […]

Aquatic modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems (MSRRs) have incredible potential for bringing practical, flexible, and adaptable robotic tools to challenging environments. They could build mobile ocean platforms or bridges for larger vehicles, act as ocean-going manipulators to perform repairs on infrastructure, or function as oceanographic research platforms, using reconfiguration to achieve precise spatial resolution when sensing […] |

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT If I show you a photo of a place you have never been to, you can easily imagine what you could do in that picture. Your understanding goes from the surfaces you see to the ones […]

Abstract: Vibrational spectroscopies at mid-infrared frequencies provide excellent probes to characterize functional groups and their immediate chemical environment. However, from a thermodynamic and dynamic point of view, only the ground state of these vibrations is significantly populated. Most of the “jiggling and wiggling” of atoms and molecules (referred to in the famous quote by Feynman) […] |

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Teams of 3-4 students will compete head-to-head in a block stacking challenge as their class final project for MEAM 5200: Introduction to Robotics. Each team controls one 7 DOF Franka-Emika Panda manipulator arm using their modeling/planning […] |

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Area coverage path planning is the problem of finding an efficient path that traverses the region of interest while avoiding existing obstacles. When dealing with real systems, the dynamic changes and uncertainties of the environments increase the […]

ABSTRACT Machine learning traditionally does not get at causality and causality research traditionally treats machine learning as a dangerous set of highly biased estimators. In my talk I will talk about our lab’s efforts to use machine learning as a component of more traditional quasi-experimental techniques. I will also discuss meta-learning approaches to causal inference, […]

The end of traditional transistor scaling brings unprecedented new opportunities to semiconductor devices and electronics. We are at the onset of a new technology revolution, which will focus on distributed intelligence and will be pushing the limits of sensing and computing at the edge of the cloud. This seminar will describe some of our work […] |

Since the first discovery of semiconductors, materials synthesis has been the driving force for new devices, new applications, and new markets. In this presentation, Professor Doolittle will provide two examples of “counterculture synthesis methods”, methods that buck literature tradition, that enable new devices, applications, and potentially vast new markets. Emphasis will be given to non-standard […] |
