MEAM Seminar: “Multi-Stable Morphing Structures”
Variable geometry “morphing” structures can achieve different geometric configurations through overall deformation, but usually many actuators are required for shape control. In this talk we consider a particular type of morphing structure that is able to switch configuration with only a few actuators. It is based on the concept of embedding by design local energy […]
ESE Seminar: “Metasurface Computational Imaging”
Modern image sensors consist of systems of cascaded and bulky spherical optics for imaging with minimal aberrations. While these systems provide high-quality images, the improved functionality comes at the cost of increased size and weight. One route to reduce a system’s complexity is via computational imaging, in which much of the aberration correction and functionality […]
CIS Seminar: “Contesting Secure Development to Understand Security Mistakes”
Abstract: With the ongoing, frequent disclosure of the existence and exploitation of security vulnerabilities, one might wonder: How can we can build software that is more secure? In an attempt to focus educational attention on this question, and gather empirical evidence at the same time, we developed the Build it, Break it, Fix it (BIBIFI) […]

CBE Seminar: “Tailoring Processes and Assembly of Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Storage”
Abstract: Despite their promise to mitigate many problems and offer new opportunities in energy storage systems, nanomaterials have proven to be difficult to tailor and preserve their assembly throughout manufacturing processes when a scale-up is considered. My group has been working on understanding and modification of instability-driven processes to devise scalable manufacturing processes such as […]
Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture: “Engineering human tissues for medical impact”
The classical paradigm of tissue engineering involves the integrated use of human stem cells, biomaterial scaffolds (providing a structural and logistic template for tissue formation) and bioreactors (providing environmental control, dynamic sequences of molecular and physical signaling, and insights into the structure and function of the forming tissues). This “biomimetic” approach results in an increasingly […]

November 8, 2019 -PICS Seminar: “Mathematical Modeling of Thrombin-Fibrin Binding Dynamics”
PICS Seminar: “Mathematical Modeling of Thrombin-Fibrin Binding Dynamics”
Abstract: Blood clot formation involves the coupled processes of platelet aggregation and coagulation, which are triggered when there is break in a blood vessel. Platelet aggregation is largely a physical process while coagulation is biochemical, consisting of a large network of reactions that culminate in the generation of the enzyme thrombin. Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen into […]
