MEAM Seminar: “Engineering Solutions for Tough Problems in Trauma: From Occlusion Balloons to Decision-Support”
Acute hemorrhage and hemorrhagic shock result in approximately 60,000 annual deaths in the United States. The vast majority of these deaths are in severely injured patients, but experts in trauma […]
MEAM Seminar: “Data-driven Physics Discovery and Scale Bridging in Materials”
In this talk I will provide an overview of our recent work in data-driven methods—mainly machine learning—to enhance computational materials physics models. This body of work has proceeded along two […]
MEAM Seminar: “Robots and Mechatronic Systems can help us identify, assess, and treat Motor and Cognitive Impairment after Brain Injury”
The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicate that in 2017 about 12.7% of adults and children had some form of disability. Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term […]
MEAM Seminar: “’Smart’ Biodegradable Polymer at Nano and Micro Scales for Medical Applications”
The ability to transform medical polymers, commonly used for resorbable surgical sutures, into desired 3D forms/shapes/structures at nano and micro scales with “smart” functions, while sustaining the materials’ excellent biocompatibility […]
MEAM Seminar: “Merging Human-Machine Intelligence with Soft Materials Technology”
Whereas human tissues and organs are mostly soft, wet and bioactive; machines are commonly hard, dry and biologically inert. Merging humans, machines and their intelligence is of imminent importance in […]
MEAM/GRASP Seminar: “Saltatorial Locomotion on Terrain Obstacles”
Robots often struggle to move through complicated environments from cluttered living spaces to treetop canopies where humans and animals flit with ease. Jumping is an exciting locomotion mode that can […]
MEAM Seminar: “Real-Time Reduced Order Modeling using Time-Dependent Basis: Applications in Turbulent Flows and Combustion”
The question of “what set of basis functions should be used?” is of fundamental importance to scientific computing. The performance of different choices of basis is assessed primarily by the […]
MEAM Seminar: “Aluminum Scandium Nitride Microdevices for Next Generation Nonvolatile Memory and Microelectromechanical Systems”
Aluminum Nitride (AlN) is a well-established thin film piezoelectric material. AlN bulk acoustic wave (BAW) radio frequency (RF) filters were one of the key innovations that enabled the 3G and […]
MEAM Seminar: “Tackling Energy Sector Challenges with Interdisciplinary Research and Education Initiatives”
