April 16, 2019 -MEAM Seminar: “Wrinkles, Spaghetti, and Knots”
MEAM Seminar: “Wrinkles, Spaghetti, and Knots”
Buckling, twisting and fracture are ubiquitous phenomena that, despite having been studied for centuries, still pose many interesting conceptual and practical challenges. In this talk, I will summarize recent theoretical and experimental work that aims to understand the role of curvature and torsion in wrinkle pattern selection, fragmentation cascades and knots. First, we will show […]

MEAM/MSE Special Seminar: “Scalable Functional Phase Change Materials for Displays and Photonic Non-von Neumann Computing”
In electronics, doping silicon results in one of the most versatile functional materials ever employed. The pursuit of such functional materials in the optical domain is an area of great interest in the photonics community. I hope to convince you that whatever route photonics takes, a class of materials known as phase change materials, will […]

April 19, 2019 -PICS Seminar: “Topology, Geometry, and Fracture in Networked Materials: A Tale of Scales”
PICS Seminar: “Topology, Geometry, and Fracture in Networked Materials: A Tale of Scales”
The skeleton of many natural and artificial structures may be abstracted as networks of nonlinearly interacting elements. Examples include rubber, gels, soft tissues, and lattice materials. Understanding the multiscale nature of deformation and failure of networked structures hold key for uncovering origins of fragility in many complex systems including biological tissues and enables designing novel […]
