Abstract: Genetic engineering of plants is at the core of sustainability efforts, natural product synthesis, and agricultural crop engineering. Plant bioengineering requires delivery of biomolecules for genetic or post-transcriptional manipulation […]
The realization of next-generation electrochemical technologies demands anion-conducting polymers that break the fundamental trade-offs between conductivity, stability, and swelling. Ion transport in these materials is a complex, emergent property that […]
Fold It. Stretch It. Build it. Shape it. Responsive Materials Meet Intelligence. Keynote Speakers: H. Jerry Qi Woodruff Endowed Professor George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering Georgia Institute of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is an in-person event with in-person attendance in Levine 307. 10:00am – Lightning Talks and Poster Session Welcome Remarks Dr. Ani Hsieh – ROBO Program Chair Kashish Garg Advised […]
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 […]
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 […]
