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 […]
