    LAMP Seminar: “Mechanics of Contact, Friction, and Fracture (by design) – Towards the Interaction between the Natural and Built Environment”

    December 5, 2025 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM /
    LRSM Reading Room 3231 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Contact, friction, and fracture are fundamental processes governing the emergent (mechanical) behaviors of various complex (material) systems, from as large as tectonic slip to as small as third-body wear. In this talk, we briefly discuss (1) challenges in understanding the (nonlinear) mechanics of these processes, specifically focusing on those designed into metamaterials, and (2) novel […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Real Time Local Wind Inference for Robust Autonomous Navigation”

    December 10, 2025 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Urban air mobility and autonomous package delivery represent promising avenues for integrating aerial robots into everyday life. However, operating these systems safely and efficiently in windy urban environments remains a major challenge due to the complexity of urban wind flow fields. Existing methods for predicting and navigating wind fields rely on precise environmental knowledge, distributed […]

    ASSET Seminar: “Reality Checks”

    December 10, 2025 @ 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM /
    Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States

    Despite its success, leaderboard chasing has become something researchers dread and mock. When implemented properly and executed faithfully, leaderboard chasing can lead to both faster and easily reproducible progress in science, as evident from the amazing progress we have seen with machine learning, or more broadly artificial intelligence, in recent decades. It does not however […]

    Doctoral Dissertation Defense – Spencer Averbeck “Advancing neural interface technologies for high-fidelity cortical recording and stimulation”

    January 12 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Class of 62 Auditorium, John Morgan Building 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA
    Wednesday Jan 14

    ASSET Seminar: “Formal Methods for Language Model Systems”

    January 14 @ 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM /
    Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States

    Formal methods are often dismissed as too rigid, complex, or unscalable for frontier language model systems (e.g., LLMs, VLMs, agentic systems). In this talk, I will challenge this assumption with both theoretical insights and empirical evidence across various domains, including chatbots, autonomous driving, mathematical reasoning, code generation, and agentic AI. I will present a new set of efficient formal frameworks for […]

    MSE Seminar: “Polymer Chain-End Chemistry: Unlocking Next-Generation Functional Materials”

    January 15 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    End-group functionalization has become a powerful and versatile strategy in polymer science, enabling precise control over physical properties, nanoscale self-assembly, and interfacial functionality without modifying the polymer backbone. In our group’s research, we have investigated (1) how tailored end groups affect intrinsic polymer characteristics such as thermal transitions, solubility, and crystallization behavior, and (2) how […]

    Doctoral Dissertation Defense – Paul Jacobs, “Novel Metasurfaces for Mitigation of B1 Inhomogeneities in NOE and CEST MRI at 7T: Clinical Applications in White Matter Demyelinating Pathology”

    January 15 @ 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM /
    BRB Auditorium
    Friday Jan 16

    BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense – David Gonzalez-Martinez, “Dissecting mechanisms and consequences of oncogenic RTK fusion signaling”

    January 16 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM /
    Class of 62 Auditorium, John Morgan Building 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA
    Tuesday Jan 20

    MEAM Seminar: “Nonlinear Modeling, Synthesis, and Design-for-Additive Manufacturing of Smart Compliant Mechanisms”

    January 20 @ 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Compliant mechanisms have been the subject of intense research in recent decades. Making compliant mechanisms “smart” to form flexible, adaptive structures is the focus of my research group, with applications ranging from medical devices to aerospace structures. This seminar will describe recent work on modeling and synthesis approaches for compliant mechanisms with both superelastic material […]
