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 […]
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 […]
