BE Seminar: “Bioengineered Platforms for Mechanistic Understandings and Therapeutic Interventions” (Shyni Varghese, Duke University)
This talk will be held in person in Glandt Forum; snacks will be served. Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field that has significant promise for treating compromised tissues and organs. […]
MSE Seminar: “Compressibility of Nanoconfined Fluids: Relating Atomistic Modeling to Ultrasonic Experiments”
Fluids confined in nanopores are ubiquitous in nature and technology. In recent years, the interest in confined fluids has grown, driven by research on unconventional hydrocarbon resources — shale gas […]
MEAM Seminar: “Nonlinear Mechanical Behavior of Kirigami-inspired Architected Materials”
As 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing techniques have become more common, it is increasingly possible to produce structures with nearly arbitrary internal geometric and compositional features, opening up vast […]
MSE Seminar: “Biomineralogical Signatures of Pathlogical Mineralization”
Pathological calcification is a wide-spread phenomenon in the human body, in which calcium minerals form in soft tissues and are found in both healthy and diseased tissues. One example are […]
MSE Special Seminar: “From sustainable Flooring to Sustainable Business: What you Don’t Learn in School”
In this open conversation, he will share his experience as a glass-ceiling breaking executive who has successfully built the HMTX from a small retailer to a business of $800M revenue […]
MSE Seminar: “Advanced Microscopy Techniques for Understanding Dislocation Interactions & Damage in Complex Microstructures”
Microstructurally and compositionally complex alloys (MCCA) such as Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze (NAB) are important to Navy and maritime applications due to their high strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance, as well as excellent […]
MSE Seminar: “Understanding Degradation in Metal Halide Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules”
Halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been the focus of much research in recent years due to their extremely high photoconversion efficiencies and their ability to be synthesized by solution […]
MSE Seminar: “Emerging Energy Materials: Joule Heating and Wood”
I lead an Energy Materials and Devices research group at the University of Maryland, College Park, with a major mission to address the CO2 challenge. Our current research interests include […]
MSE Seminar: “A More Sustainable Future via Polymer Circularity”
In a Circular Economy, atoms and molecules are kept inside the economy where they continue to produce value, and they are kept out of unwanted places like our environment. At […]
MSE Seminar: “What Governs Grain Boundary Migration?”
Curvature is the common driving force for grain boundary motion in all polycrystals. However, models and simulations derived from curvature-based motion cannot predict irregular, albeit commonly observed, grain growth behavior. […]
