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 […]
MSE Seminar: “Engineering topological phases in graphene moiré heterostructures”
Taming topological electronic phases is a fundamental challenge and an important milestone on the way towards novel electronic devices and topological quantum computation. Recent advances in fabrication techniques have made […]
MSE Seminar: “Harnessing Temporally Controlled Biophysical Cues To Direct Stem Cell Phenotype”
Endogenous tissue-specific stem cells are crucial regulators of tissue health throughout life, orchestrating diverse functions ranging from learning and cognition to skeletal muscle homeostasis. The local microenvironment, or stem cell […]
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 […]
MSE Seminar: “Spirals and skyrmions in magnets and their emergent electromagnetism”
MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Structures”
I will present recent work on the modeling of the structural response of shape memory alloy tubes, bars, and beams. We have developed a new constitutive model that captures pseudoelastic […]
MSE Seminar: “The light stuff: sculpting photons at the molecular-scale for sustainability”
We present methods to sculpt light at the atomic and molecular scale to detect and control chemical transformations, en-route to improved planetary and personal health. First, we study plasmon-driven chemical […]
ESE Seminar: “Quantum Dot Plasmon Nanolasers”
Miniaturized light sources are critical for next-generation on-chip photonic devices. Plasmon-based lasers and surface plasmon amplified spontaneous emission of radiation (spasers) have received significant attention since their prediction over a […]
MSE Seminar: “How to Care for Yourself While Navigating a Complex World”
As graduate students, it can be difficult to maintain a sense of balance throughout your academic career. There are often multiple demands on your time, from having a social life […]
