BE/MEAM Seminar: “Synthetic Embryology for Constructing Human Embryo and Organ Models” (Jianping Fu, University of Michigan)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid seminar held in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom. Check email for the zoom link or contact cd0318@seas.upenn.edu. "Synthetic Embryology for Constructing Human Embryo and Organ Models" Early human development remains mysterious and difficult to study.  Recent advances in developmental biology, stem cell biology, and bioengineering have contributed to a […]

MEAM Seminar: “Open Access Benchmark Datasets and Metamodels for Problems in Mechanics”

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

Metamodels, or models of models, map defined model inputs to defined model outputs. When metamodels are constructed to be computationally cheap, they are an invaluable tool for applications ranging from topology optimization, to uncertainty quantification, to real-time prediction, to multi-scale simulation. In particular, for heterogeneous materials, metamodels are useful for exploring the influence of the […]

MEAM Seminar: “Manually-Operated, Slider Cassette for Multiplexed Molecular Detection at the Point of Care”

Room 2C8, David Rittenhouse Laboratory Building 209 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Effective control of epidemics, individualized medicine, and new drugs with virologic response-dependent dose and timing require, among other things, simple, inexpensive, multiplexed molecular detection platforms suitable for point of care and for home use. Conventional molecular detection methods such as PCR tests, require bulky and expensive equipment, trained personnel, and specialized laboratories, limiting their use […]

MEAM Seminar: “Development of Astronomical Instrumentation to Study the Birth and Evolution of the Universe”

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

The study of the early universe requires deep high-resolution maps of the sky at millimeter and submillimeter. This requires the development of state-of-the-art cryogenic receivers and custom built telescopes. These instruments operate in extreme locations including from NASA launched high-altitude balloons over Antarctica and high (5,200m/17,000ft) mountain tops in Northern Chile adding a level of […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Surface and Interface Engineering in Manipulation and Fabrication of Colloid-Based Sub-Microporous Hierarchical Materials and Their Applications”

Moore 212

Nanolattices exhibit attractive mechanical, energy conversion, and optical properties, but it is challenging to fabricate nanolattices in large scale while maintaining the dense hierarchical nanometer features that enable their properties. Current advanced fabrication methods, like 3D printing or self-assembly, are significantly limited by their scalability or the cracking problem in the assembled templates. This work […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Room-temperature Electrochemical Healing of Structural Metals”

Greenberg Lounge (Room 114), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

For over 6,000 years, repairing high-strength metallic materials has required high temperatures and large energy inputs. Likewise, recent innovations in self-healing and repairable metals have remained limited by the need for heating, the small size of repairable cracks, and the low strength and constrained chemical composition of healed metals. While welding remains the most widely […]

MEAM Seminar: “Harnessing Physical Intelligence for High-Performance Soft Robots”

Towne 227 (MEAM Conference Room) 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Different from neuron-based computational intelligence through the brain, physical intelligence leverages structural designs and smart materials to physically encode sensing, actuation, control, adaption, and decision-making into the body of an agent. The stimuli-responsive body materials can enable autonomous sensory, actuation, powering, and other physical intelligence functions. The structural designs of soft body can simplify the […]

MEAM Seminar: “Manipulation of Micro/Nano Particles Using Acoustic Waves”

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

Manipulation of particles in micro and nano scale has been invaluable in a variety of scenarios in applied physics, chemistry and biomedicine. Acoustic microfluidics has emerged as a powerful and novel platform for micro/nano manipulation in many applications recently due to its advantages in versatility, low cost, easy to integrate and manufacture, miniaturization, energy efficiency, […]

MEAM Seminar: “Materials and Manufacturing Solutions for Sustainable Energy”

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

In response to the grave and escalating threat of climate change, the US Department of Energy has announced a series of ambitious Energy Earth Shot Initiatives. These target an 80% reduction in the cost of clean hydrogen by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The first of the initiatives focuses on establishing a green […]

MSE Seminar: “Additive Manufacturing of Compositionally Complex Alloys with Engineered Microstructures”

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

The increasing demand for structural metals has driven increasingly complex compositions, which bring critical challenges in processing of these materials. Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is a disruptive technology for creating structural materials and components in a single print. In this talk, I will present our recent work on additive manufacturing of compositionally complex […]
