MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Room-temperature Electrochemical Healing of Structural Metals”
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 […]
MEAM Seminar: “Development of Astronomical Instrumentation to Study the Birth and Evolution of the Universe”
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 […]
MEAM Seminar: “Manually-Operated, Slider Cassette for Multiplexed Molecular Detection at the Point of Care”
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 […]
MEAM Seminar: “The Challenges and Opportunities of Battery-Powered Flight”
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 […]
MEAM Seminar: MEAM Faculty Research Overview
Please join us on Tuesday, September 13 for a series of short research talks by MEAM faculty. Five MEAM faculty will give “flash talks” to introduce their research activities and recent […]
MEAM Seminar: “Exergy-based Methods as a Promising Modern Thermodynamic Evaluation and Optimization Tool”
Exergy-based methods are powerful tools for developing, evaluating, understanding, and improving energy conversion systems. In addition to conventional methods, advanced exergy-based analyses consider (a) the interactions among components of the […]
