    • SIG Seminar:”Computational Design for the Next Manufacturing Revolution”

    /
    Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

    Abstract: 3D printers are radically transforming the aerospace and automotive industries. Whole-garment knitting machines allow the automated production of complex apparel and shoes. Manufacturing electronics on flexible substrates enable a new range of integrated products for consumer electronics and medical diagnostics. These advances demonstrate the potential for a new economy of on-demand production of objects […]

    CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Polymer Mechanics and Dynamics in Polymer Nanoparticle Composites

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract:  "Polymer nanoparticle composites (PNCs) have become an important topic of research due to their highly tunable macroscopic properties. Compared to the pure polymers, PNCs exhibit increase in mechanical strength, altered thermodynamic properties, and simultaneous improvement in permeability and selectivity in small molecule transport. Understanding the fundamental physics that control the behavior of both components […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Merging Human-Machine Intelligence with Soft Materials Technology”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Whereas human tissues and organs are mostly soft, wet and bioactive; machines are commonly hard, dry and biologically inert. Merging humans, machines and their intelligence is of imminent importance in addressing grand societal challenges in health, sustainability, security, education and joy of living. However, interfacing humans and machines is extremely challenging due to their fundamentally […]

    ESE Grace Hopper Lecture: “Scalable Photonics: An Optimized Approach”

    /
    Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

    Classical and quantum photonics with superior properties can be implemented in a variety of old (silicon, silicon nitride) and new (silicon carbide, diamond) photonic materials by combining state of the art optimization and machine learning techniques (photonics inverse design) with new fabrication approaches. In addition to making photonics more robust to errors in fabrication and […]

    CIS Seminar:”Critical Computing Education

    /
    Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

    Computing can be a wondrous, powerful tool, bringing us information, experiences, and connections that transform our lives for the better. However, as many of us have learned, computing has also contributed to great injustices, increasing surveillance of our most vulnerable populations, eroding the middle class through economic displacement, and amplifying historical injustices embedded in society. […]

    CBE Seminar: “The Role of Utilization in Meeting Mid-Century Carbon Removal Targets”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract The utilization of CO2 broadly applies to any process that transforms captured CO2 into valuable products. These processes strive to achieve any of the following objectives: (1) permanent storage (2) revenue generation and/or (3) avoiding emissions of conventional products with high amounts of embodied carbon. This talk will explore how carbon utilization can be […]

    MSE Seminar: “Nano-Volumetric Materials Properties of Ferroelectrics and Photovoltaics via Tomographic AFM”

    /

    Nano- and meso- scale materials properties are crucial to the macroscopic performance of a wide range of functional and photovoltaic devices. In 2-dimensions, photoconductivity, ferroelectricity, and even domain dynamics have thus been investigated for decades now especially using variations of Atomic Force Microscopy. Our work and others reveals how these properties are frequently mediated by […]
