Please join us for this distinguished lecture given by Dr. Gilda Barabino, President of Olin College of Engineering. “Engineering for Everyone: Centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” At its core, engineering […]
MEAM Seminar: “Mechanistic Insights into Crystalline Interfaces via Thermal Fluctuations”
Interfaces such as grain boundaries are ubiquitous in crystalline materials and have provided a fertile area of research over decades. Their importance stems from the numerous critical phenomena associated with […]
PICS Colloquium: “Preserving microscale features in continuum models of fiber network materials”
Fiber networks at different length scales represent a prevalent microstructure of highly deformable materials and biological matter. At the microscale, these fiber networks are key for the function of biological […]
MEAM Seminar: “Assembly Engineering of Patchy Particles into Complex Structures, and Beyond”
The ability to predict, design and make the perfect material with just the right properties to do what we want, how we want, and when we want is the holy […]
PICS Colloquium: “Taking a layman’s perspective to turbulence modeling”
Abstract: Turbulence is an unsolved problem in classical physics. Its modeling often involves physical, mathematical, and numerical concepts that are daunting to even experienced engineers. This makes it very hard […]
MEAM Seminar: “Continuum Mechanics of Non-equilibrium Phenomena: A Journey Through Space and Time Scales”
The fascinating diversity of material behavior at the macroscopic scale, including plasticity, phase transformations, viscoelasticity or diffusion, can only emerge from the underlying atomistic or particle behavior. Yet, the direct […]
MEAM Seminar: “Architected Nanoscale Plates for Thermionic Energy Conversion and Relativistic Interstellar Travel”
Architected plates feature geometrical patterns that provide advantageous mechanical properties, such as an enhanced bending stiffness or a reduced tendency to tear. In this talk I will introduce our research […]
MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “High Throughput Immunospecific Detection and Analysis of Subcellular Nanomaterials at the Single Particle Level”
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown great potential in diagnostics, therapeutics, and have been discovered to play a key role in intercellular communication. The study of EVs in biological fluids has […]
