    ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Integrated photonic-assisted electronics for phased array beamforming and delay control”

    /
    Towne 337

    In recent years, electronic-photonic co-design and co-integration has emerged as a disruptive technology to augment the power of integrated circuits and deliver enhanced chip scale solutions for a variety of applications ranging from communication and sensing to imaging and computation. Coupled with the versatility of electronics, integrated photonic techniques may be employed to assist in […]

    • ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Compositional Methods for Agile Quadrupedal Behaviors”

    /
    PERCH 303, Pennovation 3rd Floor 3401 Grays Ferry Avenue, Bldg 6176, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of legged machines with high power and force densities, as well as a commensurate development of locomotion controllers which achieve impressive empirical demonstrations. Yet, despite showing promise as a means of navigating rough terrain, these machines – and the locomotion controllers which animate them – are still restricted […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Role of Water in the Mechanics of Cells and Tissues”

    /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    A large fraction of cell and tissue mass is made of water. The flow of water across the cell surface follows osmotic and hydraulic pressure gradients, and is actively controlled by the cell. This physical fact suggests that the mechanical behavior of cells is intimately connected with cell ionic homeostasis and osmotic control. In this […]

    MSE Seminar: “Building With Fluids: A Lazy Approach to Fabrication”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    In nature, organized arrays of elements arise spontaneously from the interactions between their component parts, e.g. reaction-diffusion problems, clustering colloidal particles and granular media, wrinkling surfaces, propagating cracks and flowing liquids. In the wake of biomimicry, I will discuss several strategies aiming to harness mechanical instabilities in flowing liquids, e.g. coiling, droplet formation, digitation, drainage, […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Multifunctional Soft Materials for Electronics, Robots, and Adhesives”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Multifunctional soft materials and interfaces create intriguing new opportunities to enhance performance through programmable and adaptable properties. I will discuss: 1) Novel material architectures of solid-liquid soft composites for electronics, 2) Switchable and programmable materials for adhesion control, and 3) Morphing materials for soft robotics. For soft composites, I will show how liquid metal droplets […]

    ASSET Seminar: Domain Adaptation Under Causally Structured Distribution Shifts, Zachary Lipton (Carnegie Mellon University)

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Presentation Abstract: Faced with unlabeled data in deployment that is sampled from a different distribution than that which generated the training data, all bets are off. Moreover, while numerous heuristics have been proposed for this vague setting, it remains unclear when any among them are applicable. One way to render these problems identifiable is to […]
