MEAM Seminar: “Viewing Earth’s Surface as a Soft Matter Landscape”
The Earth's surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate-fluid mixtures: dry to wet, dilute to dense, colloidal to granular, attractive to repulsive particles, laminar to turbulent flows, and steady to highly-unsteady forcing. This material variety is matched by the range of relevant stresses and strain rates, from rapid and catastrophic landslides to the […]
ESE Seminar: “Efficient Mid-Infrared Photodetection Using Graphene Plasmons at Room Temperature”
In the history of materials development, many classic materials (Si, III-Vs, organics, etc.) which can be produced reliably at large scale eventually have found critical applications after decades of intensive research, leveraging their distinctive properties. For example, silicon dominates the field-effect-transistor technology because perfect dielectric-silicon interface can be readily realized. Organic materials are currently widely […]

MEAM/GRASP Seminar: “Geometric Biologically Inspired Robots that Span Industries from Medical to Manufacturing”
The animal kingdom is full of both human and non-human animals worthy of investigation, emulation and re-creation. As such, my research group has created a comprehensive research program focusing on biologically-inspired robots, and has applied them to search and rescue, minimally invasive surgery, and manufacturing. These robots inspire great scientific challenges in mechanism design, control, […]
ESE Seminar: “Hardware Acceleration in the World of Emerging Applications”
Abstract: Semiconductor technology scaling coming to a screeching halt, coupled with the explosion of data in almost every facet of our lives, makes processing large volumes of data efficiently a critical problem to solve. In this talk, I will highlight three main challenges in designing accelerators and demonstrate that domain-specific hardware acceleration and specialization can […]
