MEAM Seminar: “Breaking Bones In situ: Multiscale Bioinspired Functional Materials”
In structural materials engineering, we often aim to create materials that are simultaneously strong, tough and lightweight- a combination classically considered mutually exclusive. Biogenic composite materials such as bone exhibit […]
MEAM Seminar: “Design, Fabrication, and Control of Biologically Inspired Soft Robots”
Robotics has the potential to address many of today’s pressing problems in fields ranging from healthcare to manufacturing to disaster relief. However, the traditional approaches used on the factory floor […]
MEAM Seminar: “Lubrication and Tribology Trends and Challenges in Passenger Electric Vehicles”
It is becoming more difficult and expensive to continue developing internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles to meet the increasingly tight emissions goals addressing global climate change. Over the last […]
GRASP/MEAM Seminar: “Towards Safe and Efficient Learning and Control for Physical Human Robot Interaction”
From factories to households, we envision a future where robots can work safely and efficiently alongside humans. For robots to truly be adopted in such dynamic environments, we must i) […]
Technology, Business and Government Lecture: “STEM and the Future of Work- A Conversation with Rep. Chrissy Houlahan”
Representative Houlahan will speak about how her experiences as a former teacher and engineer have shaped her priorities and work in Congress, and about the importance of STEM work/jobs across […]
MEAM Seminar: “Exploring the Structure of Sediment-Laden Turbidity Currents”
Turbidity currents are sediment-laden turbulent shear flows that run over a sloping bed, submerged beneath a deep layer of quiescent ambient fluid, driven by the excess hydrostatic pressure. As the […]
MEAM Seminar: “Fusion for Robot Perception and Controls”
Machine learning has led to powerful advances in robotics: deep learning for visual perception from raw images and deep reinforcement learning (RL) for learning controls from trial and error. Yet, […]
MEAM Seminar: “Understanding and Controlling Pattern Formation of Soft Materials”
Soft elastic solids, such as elastomers and hydrogels, are used in many practical applications ranging from adhesives to biocompatible scaffolds for tissue engineering. Biological cells and tissues have very similar […]
Inaugural Joseph Bordogna Forum: “A Call to Action for Racial Justice and Equity in Engineering”
Racism and anti-Blackness are crises that jeopardize our democracy, productivity and well-being and call into question whether we can all live together peaceably and harmoniously in a just and equitable […]
MEAM Seminar: “Nonintrusive Reduced Order Models Using Physics Informed Neural Networks”
The development of reduced order models for complex applications, offering the promise for rapid and accurate evaluation of the output of complex models under parameterized variation, remains a very active […]
