MSE Senior Design Presentations
MSE Doctoral Student Seminar
MSE Seminar: “Bio-like Structural Hydrogels with Life-like Intelligence”
From the cellular level up to the body system level, living organisms present elegant designs and strategies to realize the desirable structures, properties and functions. For example, tendons and muscles […]
MSE Seminar: “Reaction-Diffusion Driven Pattern Formation in Thermosetting Polymers”
Reaction-diffusion processes are versatile, yet underexplored methods for manufacturing that provide unique opportunities to control the spatial properties of materials, achieving order through broken symmetry. The mathematical formalism and derivation […]
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 […]
MSE Seminar: “Future Directions in Self-Assembly for Nanopatterning”
Macromolecular self-assembly has evolved to become an important and valuable tool for bottom-up patterning and fabrication at the nanometer scale. From block copolymer lithography to nanocrystal superlattices to biomolecular assemblies, […]
MSE Seminar: “When ions meet electrons — Modeling the interfaces in Solid-State Batteries”
With the rapid development of fast Li-ion conductors, the major bottleneck for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries lies at the high interfacial resistance and Li dendrite growth. These problems require a fundamental […]
MSE Seminar: “Tailoring materials properties by ultrafast laser driving of collective modes”
MSE Seminar: “Controlling ferroelectricity at the nanoscale: from oxide heterostructures to freestanding crystalline membranes”
Complex oxides are fascinating material systems exhibiting a diverse set of electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties. In particular, ferroelectric oxides with an electrically switchable polarization and large dielectric and piezoelectric […]
MSE Seminar: “Engineering nanoparticle-cell interactions: using a library-based approach to guide drug carrier design”
Nanoparticles offer huge promise as drug delivery vehicles, though their translation to the clinic is hampered due to limited accumulation at target disease sites. To overcome this hurdle, we have […]
