MEAM Seminar: “Origami Micro, Bio, and Nanosystems “
Due to the inherent planarity of conventional micro and nanofabrication, it is challenging to pattern and assemble micro, bio, and nano-materials and devices in all three dimensions. Origami inspired mechanical […]
MEAM Seminar: “Micro/Nanomanufacturing of 3D Functional Coatings via Self-Limiting Electrospray Deposition”
Recent developments in nanostructured materials have demonstrated myriad desirable properties ranging from optical and mechanical metamaterials to biomanipulative surfaces. To bring these properties from the lab to the commercial space […]
MEAM Seminar: “Scalable Fabrication of Nanostructured Energy Storage Systems”
The demand for autonomous devices, including intelligent sensor platforms for IOT applications, is driving a parallel need for efficient energy storage systems that are inexpensive to produce, exhibit high power […]
Tedori-Callinan Lecture: “Isogeometric Analysis”
The vision of Isogeometric Analysis was first presented in a paper published October 1, 2005 [1]. Since then it has become a focus of research within both the fields of […]
MEAM Seminar: “Engineering Microdevices Using Atomic Layer Deposition and Electrowetting”
This talk will cover 1) devices created one atomic layer at a time and 2) electrowetting optical elements. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) are self-limiting processes […]
MEAM Seminar: “Robot Design Concepts for Intuitive Physical Human-robot Interaction”
Physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) aims at taking advantage of the complementary capabilities of robots and humans. One of the key challenges in pHRI is to provide a high-bandwidth human-robot interaction […]
MEAM Seminar: “Dynamical Systems Approach to Geophysical and Aerospace Flows”
A dynamical systems approach is taken to explain the dynamics of two classes of ‘gap-leaping’ geophysical flow as well as the hypersonic second-mode instability. First, in the context of a […]
MEAM Seminar: “Small, Autonomous, Flying Robots that can Feel and Map their Environment”
Autonomous flight through unknown environments in the presence of obstacles is a challenging problem for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). A majority of the current state-of-art research focuses on modeling obstacles […]
MEAM/LRSM Seminar: “Enabling Soft, Flexible 2D Materials and Sensors”
Low temperature synthesis of high quality 2D materials directly on flexible substrates remains a fundamental limitation towards realization of robust, strainable electronics possessing the unique physical properties of atomically thin […]
MEAM Seminar: “Mechanical Models for DNA”
We will discuss two complementary mechanical models for DNA that deal with, respectively two problems: one, phase transitions in a DNA molecule, and two, allosteric interactions between two ligands bound […]
