Doing Good Science When Resources are Limited

This event is hoted by the Community for Rigor What does scientific rigor look like when time is limited, funding is finite, and real projects don’t unfold under ideal conditions? Scientific rigor is often discussed as an ideal—but real biomedical research unfolds under constraints. Time is limited. Funding runs out. Reagents, animals, access to specialized […]

MEAM Seminar: “Integrating Statistical Physics and Data-Driven Methods for Modeling Inelastic Material Behavior”

June 12 @ 10:15 am

MEAM Seminar: “Integrating Statistical Physics and Data-Driven Methods for Modeling Inelastic Material Behavior”

This talk will focus on my doctoral research and consists of two parts. In the first part of the seminar, I will introduce my work on data-driven discovery of internal variables. Internal variable theory has been highly successful in continuum mechanics, but its reliance on phenomenological intuition—often without a direct connection to lower-scale structure—can lead […]

MEAM Seminar: “Developing Physically Consistent Coarse-grained Models and Generative Backmapping Frameworks”

June 16 @ 10:15 am

MEAM Seminar: “Developing Physically Consistent Coarse-grained Models and Generative Backmapping Frameworks”

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations must solve Newton’s equations at the femtosecond scale to resolve atomistic vibrations. However, most phenomena of scientific interest occur at the micro to millisecond scale. This massive timescale discrepancy creates a severe computational bottleneck, requiring traditional MD to run an impractical number of simulation steps. To bypass this limitation, researchers frequently […]

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “2D/3D Heterostructures & Ultrathin AlScN Devices for Emerging Applications in Memory & Space”

June 18 @ 10:00 am

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “2D/3D Heterostructures & Ultrathin AlScN Devices for Emerging Applications in Memory & Space”

The semiconductor industry’s ever-growing demand for smaller device dimensions, better power efficiency and lower prices has pushed state of the art silicon-based computing technology to its physical limits. Ferroelectric non-volatile technology could be the answer to this challenge as it enables memory and logic tasks to be performed in the same physical units. This could […]

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Decomposition Methods for Safety-Aware Design: From Conservatism to Performance in Layered Control”

June 18 @ 11:00 am

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Decomposition Methods for Safety-Aware Design: From Conservatism to Performance in Layered Control”

Layered control is a concept in decision-making that separates responsibilities across different optimization problems designed to collectively perform an overall task. This concept is well-understood among robotics and control engineers, since computation is a fundamental bottleneck in real-time, safety-critical applications. However, the failure of a system performing a task is often attributed to the layered […]

MEAM Seminar: “Experimentally Validated Reduced-order Modeling for the Control of Flow in Compliant Tubes”

June 18 @ 11:00 am

MEAM Seminar: “Experimentally Validated Reduced-order Modeling for the Control of Flow in Compliant Tubes”

While the movement of fluid through rigid conduits is a well-characterized classical problem, predicting the behavior of fluid flow through a compliant tube, in which tube deformation and the behavior of the fluid are strongly coupled, remains a challenge. There are many applications related to soft actuators, adaptive structures, and biomedical transport devices in which […]

MEAM Seminar: “Continuum Modeling of Hydrogels: Poroelasticity, Poro-viscoelasticity, and Phase Transition”

June 23 @ 10:15 am

MEAM Seminar: “Continuum Modeling of Hydrogels: Poroelasticity, Poro-viscoelasticity, and Phase Transition”

Hydrogels are fluid-filled polymer networks whose mechanical behavior is governed by the coupling between network deformation, solvent transport, molecular architecture, and time-dependent dissipation. In this seminar, I will present a continuum modeling framework for hydrogels that progressively incorporates these physical mechanisms across several material systems. I will begin with a poroelastic model for brush gels, […]
