    ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Energy-efficient Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing Systems for the Next Generation of Optical Transceivers”

    July 11, 2025 @ 9:00 AM /
    Towne 337

    The rapid growth of data traffic in data centers and AI applications demands faster, more energy-efficient communication solutions to scale up parallel computing capabilities. This dissertation explores integrated photonic-electronic systems […]

    Tuesday Jul 15

    MEAM Seminar: “Modularity Strategies for Pneumatic Control in Soft Robotic Systems”

    July 15, 2025 @ 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Soft robotic systems, defined as both compliant robotic platforms and mechanically adaptive structures, offer unique advantages such as safe human-machine interaction, structural flexibility, and environment-driven reconfigurability. By relying on deformable […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Exploring Jet-Propelled Soft Robots: Design, Experiments, and Theory”

    July 22, 2025 @ 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Understanding how marine animals migrate is critical for assessing the impacts of climate change on ocean ecosystems—and yet current Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), with their noisy propellers and rigid hulls, […]

    Tuesday Jul 29

    ESE Guest Seminar: “On-Device Probabilistic AI: From Gaussian Transistors to Light-Driven Spike Encoding”

    July 29, 2025 @ 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM /
    Room 221, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Emerging edge AI systems call for device-level approaches that are inherently low-power, secure, and capable of managing uncertainty. In this talk, I will share our recent exploratory efforts toward realizing […]

    Wednesday Jul 30

    ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Novel van der Waals Chalcogenides for Sustainable Light Harvesting”
