MEAM Seminar: “Wall-modeled Large-eddy Simulation of Non-Equilibrium Turbulent Boundary Layers”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAccurate prediction of high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows is essential for the understanding and flow control of many engineering applications such as aircraft, turbomachinery, and marine vehicles. Additionally, most practical flows exhibit […]
MEAM Seminar: “Hierarchical Methods for Geometric Control of Underactuated, Free-Flying Robotic Systems”
Towne 337Free-flying robotic systems (such as multibody aerial and space vehicles) evolve on high-dimensional non-Euclidean manifolds subject to nonlinear, underactuated dynamics. Because such systems can rely only on the severely limited […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Exploiting Flows for Orienteering and Planning Problems”
Towne 337Task and path planning algorithms for robots in the presence of flows confront a fundamental dichotomy between the continuous and the discrete: task planning algorithms discretize the world and their […]
Nano Seminar: “Conductive Nitrides for Plasmonics in the Visible Region: Properties and Applications”
Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesPlasmonic nanostructure based on silver and gold that produces LSPR to withstand ultrahigh temperatures without damage remains a great challenge for future ultra-compact integrated circuits, and high-power enabled photonic devices. […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Mobile Wireless Infrastructure on Demand in Robot Teams”
216 Moore BuildingCommunication is fundamental to successful coordination in teams of robots. Indeed, the promise that robot teams can complete tasks faster and more efficiently than any single agent depends on their […]
MEAM Seminar: “Photophoretic Levitating Structures Enabling Mesospheric and Martian Exploration”
Towne 337Studying certain regions of the atmosphere is hindered by available propulsion technologies. For example, the mesosphere, ranging from about 50 to 80 km in altitude, has air too thin for […]
MEAM Seminar: “Vibrating Beam MEMS Accelerometers for Gravity and Seismic Measurements”
Towne 337Advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have enabled the widespread development of sensors for a variety of consumer, automotive, and wearable healthcare electronics applications. However, there is increasing interest in the […]
MEAM Seminar: “The Multiphysics Stochastic Brain”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesFuelled in particular by current medical challenges in Traumatic Brain Injury, the field of brain mechanics has progressed tremendously in the last decade. Simulations that required months in development and […]
MEAM Seminar: “Data-Driven Computational Design of Engineered Material Systems”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesDesigning advanced material systems poses challenges in integrating knowledge and representation from multiple disciplines and domains such as materials, manufacturing, structural mechanics, and design optimization. Data-driven machine learning and computational […]
