SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Exploiting Interface Patterning for Adhesion Control"
DESCRIPTION:Surface force-mediated adhesion\, e.g. van der Waals forces\, is critical for direct bonding of bulk solids in the absence of an adhesive layer. However\, no two surfaces are ideally flat or perfectly conformal due to surface roughness or intentional patterning. When in the adhered state\, non-zero surface tractions arise wherever the local separation of the surfaces differs from an intrinsic equilibrium separation\, for which surface tractions vanish\, hence regions of tensile and compressive loads are induced across the interface. A fundamental understanding of such imperfect adhesion is important and unlocks opportunities to control interfacial strength and toughness in various applications including MEMS/NEMS\, micro-transfer printing\, and processes to manufacture advanced 3D integrated-circuits. The aim of this work is to understand the fundamentals of direct adhesion of non-conformal surfaces by examining the interplay of (1) the intrinsic adhesive properties of traction-separation relation (TSR)\, (2) interface geometry\, and (3) elastic deformation of the adhered bulk solids. The TSR we adopted accounts for strong repulsion when the interface separation is less than the equilibrium separation\, and only the normal surface tractions were considered. The effective TSR properties\, including the effective adhesion strength and work of separation\, are determined from numerical calculations. Simple closed-form solutions are obtained when assuming rigid bulk solids. A finite element model utilizing cohesive elements in a periodic cell was constructed to study cases with non-uniform deformation in the elastic solids under pure normal separation without shear.

SUMMARY:MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: "Controlled Levitation of Nanostructured Thin Films for Sun-Powered Near-Space Flight"
DESCRIPTION:Earth’s mesosphere is the least studied part of our atmosphere. The data it contains within itself can help develop more comprehensive and accurate models of the atmosphere and can help us understand our climate better. The main challenge before scientists is the inaccessibility of this region. The pressure is not high enough for aircraft and balloons and it is too high for satellites. There are remote sensing methods as well as transient rockets to collect data\, though they are expensive and collect data for a few minutes at a time. In this thesis\, we present photophoresis or light-driven motion as an alternative flight mechanism for long-duration access to this region. \nPhotophoretic force has long been studied for micron scale particles. However\, in order to leverage photophoresis to levitate large microflyers capable of carrying useful payloads under sunlight\, the structure of microflyers need to be ultralight\, with areal densities of no more than a few g/m2. Creating a large scale structure with thicknesses that result in temperature difference and weigh only a few g/m2 is a challenge. The approach we present in this thesis is to generate photophoretic force that leverages heat transfer between gas molecules and surface molecules/structure. By altering this heat transfer on either side of a thin disc we can generate large photophoretic forces that can levitate cm-scale samples with several milligrams of payload. \nIn this work we propose and validate a predictive theoretical framework that accounts for conductive\, convective\, and radiative heat transfer and determines the temperature of illuminated thin disc microflyers as well as their lift force and payload capacity with sizes ranging from millimeters to centimeters over pressures ranging from 10 to 120 pascals. \nWe used cheap and fast methods to fabricate cm-scale thin disc microflyers with areal density of ~ 1 g/m2 and test them in vacuum and under variable light intensity. We fabricated four generations of microflyers starting by dropcasting carbon nanotubes onto thin disc-shaped mylar films. Atomic layer deposition and laser micromachining enabled stiffer continuous and porous samples to be created as well. Moreover\, we used different microfabrication techniques to improve the performance of microflyers and increase their range of operation. Lastly\, we used our validated theoretical model to predict the performance of the microflyers in upper atmosphere under natural sunlight\, and we further propose different approaches that can lead to better performance and higher payload carrying capabilities.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "A Differential Homogenization Framework for Precipitation Strengthened Metals"
DESCRIPTION:Precipitation-strengthened alloys are a commercially important class of materials because their mechanical properties can be altered by changing the microstructure through heat-treatment. Specifically\, precipitates are introduced into the bulk (matrix) material to interact with dislocations and affect their mobility. It is known that the size\, shape\, orientation and stiffness of the precipitates\, which can be altered during the age-hardening process\, have a strong influence on the alloy and its plastic behavior. In this talk\, I will discuss a differential homogenization framework that has been developed to model elasto-viscoplastic particulate composites which exhibit hardening at the local scale. The new homogenization estimates incorporate the second moments of the local hardening fields and improve on existing formulations which only take into account the first moment. First\, we’ll consider the simple case of linear viscoelasticity and show that by using differential equations instead of difference equations\, the new formulation is more robust than earlier incremental approaches and recovers exact results for certain classes of composites. Next\, we provide estimates for creeping single crystals with elastic particles and find that neglecting the elasticity of the crystal\, an assumption which is typically made\, can lead to an overestimation of the effective creep-rate. Last\, we examine the role of microstructure on the effective workhardening of precipitation-strengthened crystals. We focus on the interplay between crystallographic and morphological anisotropy and how these can reduce the overall anisotropy\, as well as how the choice of the crystal matrix(either FCC or HCP) leads to markedly different work-hardening behavior.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Accelerated Design of Heterogeneous Materials for Improved Failure Characteristics"
DESCRIPTION:Nature provides countless examples of the use of heterogeneity to enhance the failure properties of materials. Many biological materials\, such as bone\, marine shells\, and fish scales\, are extremely resilient to fracture and failure. These often consist of regions that are highly mineralized and stiff and regions of biopolymers that are extremely soft. In practice\, combining such disparate materials in synthetic systems is fraught with difficulties\, such as poor interfacial adhesion. However\, as we show in our work\, other types of heterogeneities lead to similar enhancements to failure characteristics\, including voids (inspired by bamboo) and spatial variations in fiber orientation (inspired by many materials\, such as aorta). With the rise of 3D printing technology\, it is possible to arbitrarily place materials with spatially-varying microstructure to mimic biological materials\, ultimately with the goal of achieving comparable improvements to failure properties in synthetic materials. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss three different types of heterogeneities that can be easily introduced to enhance failure characteristics. First\, inspired by the microstructure of the Mantis shrimp club\, we show how process defects that are intrinsic to extrusion-based additive approaches (voids and weak interfaces) can be spatially arranged in a helical (Bouligand) pattern to produce complex crack patterns and enhanced energy absorption. Next\, we show how arrangements of voids (inspired by conch shells) can deflect cracks and enhance energy dissipation during fracture. Finally\, we show how spatial variations in fiber orientation (inspired by aorta) can be produced using direct ink writing (DIW)\, leading to soft composites with high toughness and fatigue threshold. \nHeterogeneities in materials\, and the 3D printing processes used to create them\, introduce a large number of parameters into the material design process\, such as infill layer angle\, fiber orientation\, void placement\, etc. Bio-inspiration provides a starting point and some basic intuition about how to design heterogeneous materials for improved failure properties\, but it cannot guarantee optimal failure properties. I will therefore conclude the talk with a discussion of the use of Bayesian optimization for the acceleration of the design of architected heterogeneous materials with optimal failure properties. This will include the use of Bayesian optimization to design optimal architectures for energy dissipation using arrangements of voids inspired by conch shells. The second example uses a multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization approach to accelerate the design of heterogeneous triangular lattices with maximal energy absorption during compressive loading.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Metal and Air Generate Power for Robots"
DESCRIPTION:In many cases\, the size and weight of energy storage technologies required to power robotic systems are too large or massive for a robot to carry\, leading to limited operational times and long recharging times over which the robot remains unused. Computer-free autonomous decision making based on environmental cues provides exciting alternatives to classic control systems for robots and smart materials. Although this functionality has been studied in microswimmers and active colloids where energy in the surrounding liquid is prevalent\, there are no devices that can provide sufficient power from environmental chemicals to move and steer larger scale robots and vehicles in dry environments. \nIn this talk\, I will show a new approach for powering robots and electronics by electrochemically scavenging energy from metal surfaces. This approach overcomes energy storage scaling laws by allowing robots and electronics to extract energy from large volumes of energy dense material without having to carry the material on-board. Next\, we demonstrated an environmentally controlled voltage source (ECVS) that\, when directly attached to electric motors on a vehicle\, can increase the energy available to the vehicle and provide computer-free autonomous navigation toward chemical fuels in the environment and away from hazards. The ECVS uses electrochemistry to extract power from the chemical fuels\, and the vehicle avoids hazards that reduce the output voltage or electrochemical kinetics. \nThese works present a new method to simultaneously steer and power vehicles and robots without computers by directly responding to a wide variety of chemical fields in their environment using electrochemistry.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Deep Learning and Uncertainty Quantification: Methodologies and Applications"
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty is ubiquitous in physical and engineering science because of the lack of knowledge\, inaccuracy in measurements\, objective stochastic nature. “You cannot be certain about uncertainty”. Uncertainty quantification plays an essential role in decision making\, solutions of partial differential equations\, optimal design\, etc. However\, quantifying the uncertainty is not trivial in computational science. The difficulty of uncertainty quantifications increases dramatically with for instance\, the dimensionality of the problems\, the type of noise in the data\, the complexity of black box functions where the data is obtained (large scale simulations\, expensive experiments)\, etc. Moreover\, with the knowledge of physics\, how to quantify uncertainty with only a few numbers of data should be considered properly. \nUncertainty quantification and its interactions with deep learning is a recently emerging interdisciplinary area that leverages the power of statistical methods\, machine learning models\, numerical methods and data-driven approach to provide reliable inference for quantities of interest in natural science and engineering problems. Given the fast growth in deep learning\, probabilistic methods and the large volume of data available across different research areas (computer visions\, natural language processing\, decision making)\, we aim in taking advantage of these recent advances to propose novel methodologies to solve problems where uncertainty quantification plays important roles. \nThis talk will highlight our recent process on the interaction between deep learning and uncertainty quantifications in the aspects of methodologies and applications. On the methodology side\, solutions regarding partial differential equations (forward problems) and system identifications (inverse problems) will be discussed with robust uncertainty estimations. Active learning and data acquisition will also be covered in the presence of uncertainty. Equipped with the methodologies we have developed\, we will briefly discuss some applications of such uncertainty quantification techniques in real-world problems such as cardiac flow activation mapping\, optimal design as well as analysis for high dimensional data.

SUMMARY:BE Doctoral Dissertation: "Biophysical dynamics of RGS-LOV proteins as systems for light-induced membrane recruitment" (Ivan Kuznetsov)
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and \nDr. Brian Chow are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Ivan Kuznetsov. \nTitle: Biophysical dynamics of RGS-LOV proteins as systems for light-induced membrane recruitment \nDate: August 30\, 2021 \nTime: 10:00 AM \nLocation: Levine 307 and via zoom at the link below: \n\nhttps://upenn.zoom.us/j/93272141232?pwd=TWRMb2V5Wmg3Mk92aFlCcjk5cFM4UT09 \nAbstract: \nLight–oxygen–voltage sensitive (LOV) domains represent a ubiquitous family of blue-light photoreceptors. Recently\, we reported BcLOV4\, a LOV protein from B. cinerea\, which demonstrates a light-induced protein-lipid interaction with the plasma membrane. Previous work demonstrated preliminary characterization of BcLOV4 but stopped short of demonstrating its applications as an optogenetic tool. Here\, we report a 3D non-linear finite element model of the cell-wide spatiotemporal dynamics of BcLOV4 membrane recruitment. Inputs were data from single cells unique in morphology and initial absolute protein concentration\, as opposed to fitting an idealized cell to population data. All necessary BcLOV4 biophysical parameters were measured with recombinant protein or in HEK cells. The model outperforms existing (2D and/or linear) approaches and recapitulates observed complexities\, including cell-geometric effects on recruitment efficiency and inter-instrument diffractive effects. It also highlights underappreciated determinants of signaling magnitude\, contrast\, and spatial confinement – such as the nonlinearity introduced by finite membrane-binding sites\, outsized role of rebinding kinetics\, and impact of excitation volume on the signaling impulse response. By capturing both intrinsic biophysical contributions of the optogenetic tools and extrinsic contributions of the optical hardware\, this framework improves understanding of how to spatiotemporally shape signaling.\nThe biophysical and computational study of BcLOV4 suggest that it has great utility as a generalizable modality for optogenetic tool development. We leverage this to construct a multitude of BcLOV4-based tools\, focusing primarily on Rho GTPases\, specifically Rac1 and RhoA. We demonstrate that these tools can generate physiologically relevant downstream signaling\, including cell motility and\, in the case of RhoA\, YAP-TEAD-dependent transcriptional activity. This work sets the groundwork for a BcLOV4-based optogenetic toolkit for accurate dissection of mechanotransduction.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Synthetic Biochemistry: Engineering Molecules and Pathways for Precision Medicine" (Michael Lin)
DESCRIPTION:Update 9/2/21: Unfortunately due to the flooding in Philadelphia we will not be able to hold this seminar on campus. Check your email for the zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. \nThe most effective medicines are those that target the earliest causes of disease\, rather than later manifestations. Engineering of biomolecules is a promising but underexplored approach to precisely detecting or targeting disease causes. I will present our work to develop a novel approach to treating cancer by detecting the signaling abnormalities that give rise to cancer. Interestingly\, this effort involves biomolecular engineering at multiple scales: proteins\, pathways\, and viruses. I will also discuss how our work has translated serenditously to developing treatments for SARSCoV2.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "The Role of Manipulation Primitives in Building Dexterous Robotic Systems"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will illustrate four different perspectives that we as a community have embraced to study robotic manipulation: 1) controlling a simplified model of the mechanics of interaction with an object; 2) using haptic feedback such as force or tactile to control the interaction with an environment; 3) planning sequences or trajectories of manipulation actions to achieve long-horizon goals; and 4) using visual cues to guide manipulation actions. These are complementary perspectives\, and building general dexterous robotic manipulation systems requires integrating them. I will discuss the key role that manipulation primitives play at integrating these perspectives. In particular I will present recent work on tactile dexterity to embed tactile feedback into the mechanics models of frictional contact\, and on planning with visual affordances to execute dexterous long-term behavior on novel objects. I will illustrate this work in the context of a dual-arm dexterous robotic system.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "No Equations\, No Variables\, No Space\, No Time: Data and the Modeling of Complex Systems”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nObtaining predictive dynamical equations from data lies at the heart of science and engineering modeling\, and is the linchpin of our technology. In mathematical modeling\, one typically progresses from observations of the world (and some serious thinking!) first to equations for a model\, and then to the analysis of the model to make predictions. Good mathematical models give good predictions (and inaccurate ones do not)\, but the computational tools for analyzing them are the same: algorithms that are typically based on closed form equations. \nWhile the skeleton of the process remains the same\, today we witness the development of mathematical techniques that operate directly on observations data\, and appear to circumvent the serious thinking that goes into selecting variables and parameters and deriving accurate equations. The process then may appear to the user a little like making predictions by “looking in a crystal ball”. Yet the “serious thinking” is still there and uses the same – and some new – mathematics: it goes into building algorithms that jump directly from data to the analysis of the model (which is now not available in closed form) so as to make predictions. Our work here presents a couple of efforts that illustrate this ”new” path from data to predictions. It really is the same old path\, but it is traveled by new means. \n

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Dynamics of 3D Cell Migration and Organ Formation" (Kenneth Yamada)
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held virtually on zoom – link coming soon. \nReal-time microscopy of the dynamics of cells and tissues in 3D environments is opening new windows to understanding the biophysical mechanisms of complex biological processes. Direct visualization is allowing us to explore fundamental questions in more depth that include: How do cells migrate in 3D? How do cancer cells invade? How is the extracellular matrix assembled? How are organs formed?  Visualizing how cells move and organize into tissues is not only providing descriptive insights\, but is also leading to the identification of novel\, unexpected physical and mechanical mechanisms relevant to tissue engineering. Cells can use varying combinations of cell adhesion to adjacent cells and to the surrounding extracellular matrix with localized cellular contractility to migrate\, invade\, and produce the complex tissue architecture needed for organ formation.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Soft-Matter Engineering for Robotics and Wearables"
DESCRIPTION:Progress in soft lithography and soft materials integration have led to extraordinary new classes of soft-matter sensors\, circuits\, and transducers. These material technologies are composed almost entirely out of soft matter – elastomers\, gels\, and conductive fluids like eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) – and represent the building blocks for machines and electronics that are soft\, flexible\, and stretchable. Because of their intrinsic compliance and elasticity\, such devices can be incorporated into soft\, biologically-inspired robots or be worn on the body and operate continuously without impairing natural body motion. In this talk\, I will review recent contributions from my research group in creating soft multifunctional materials for wearable electronics and soft robotics using these emerging practices in “soft-matter engineering.” In particular\, I will focus on elastomer composites and microfluidic EGaIn architectures for highly stretchable digital electronics\, wearable energy harvesting\, and electrically-responsive actuation. When possible\, I will relate the design and operation of these soft-matter technologies to underlying principles of soft matter physics and practices in controls and machine. In addition to presenting my own research in the field\, I will also briefly review broader efforts and emerging challenges in utilizing soft multifunctional materials for applications in wearable electronics\, bioelectronic interfaces\, and soft robotics.
