MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Manually-Operated, Slider Cassette for Multiplexed Molecular Detection at the Point of Care”
/
Zoom - Email MEAM for Link
peterlit@seas.upenn.edu
Personalized medicine requires the identification of disease-causing agents prior to prescribing therapy. Currently, molecular detection requires shipping bio samples to centralized laboratories. The time delay between sample collection and test […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “High Performance Electroadhesives for Materials and Robots with Electroprogrammable Stiffness”
/
Room 2C8, David Rittenhouse Laboratory Building
209 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Materials with electroprogrammable stiffness and adhesion can enhance the performance of robotic systems, including prosthetics, medical devices, wearables, exoskeletons, and grippers. However, achieving large changes in stiffness and adhesive forces […]
