January 28, 2020 -MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Applications of a Double-stranded Elastic Rod Model to DNA”
MEAM Seminar: “Liquid Crystal Elastomers”
Liquid crystal elastomers are rubbery solids with liquid crystal mesogens incorporated into their main chains. They display an isotropic to nematic phase transformation accompanied by a large spontaneous deformation. This in turn leads to rich variety of phenomena including ultra-soft behavior, stripe domains, shape-morphing etc. Further, when made as slender structures, the structural instability of […]
MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Applications of a Double-stranded Elastic Rod Model to DNA”
In the first part of the presentation, we discuss a double-stranded elastic rod (birod) model and apply it to study allosteric interactions between two ligands on DNA. Next, we combine the birod model with statistical mechanics and use it to study the temperature-induced strand separation in dsDNA. Allosteric interaction between two ligands on DNA is […]

January 29, 2020 -Britton Chance Distinguished Lecture: “Regenerative Immunology: The Role of Technology Translation in Guiding Discovery”
Britton Chance Distinguished Lecture: “Regenerative Immunology: The Role of Technology Translation in Guiding Discovery”
Abstract: Biomaterial implants have a long history in the clinic, but regenerative biomaterials and regenerative medicine therapies, in general, have been slow to reach patients. Clinical translation provides a unique and critical opportunity to investigate the key therapeutic drivers of technology efficacy in people. Careful evaluation of clinical outcomes and reevaluation of design parameters is […]

January 30, 2020 -MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Structure-property relations in hybrid 2D halide perovskites”
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Structure-property relations in hybrid 2D halide perovskites”
Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are under intense investigation due to their interesting physical properties and superior performance in thin-film based optoelectronic devices. The structural diversity embedded in the system provides a variety of parameters to target favorable properties for applications in photovoltaics (PV) and light emitting diodes (LEDs). In this talk, Dr. Mao will […]

January 31, 2020 -Thesis Defense: “Multiscale Predictions of Mechanical Response and Computational Circuit Dynamics After Traumatic Brain Injury”
PICS Seminar – Dr. Yoichiro Mori of the University of Pennsylvania & the University of Minnesota
Abstract: Mathematical Justification of Slender Body Theory Systems in which thin filaments interact with the surrounding fluid abound in science and engineering. The computational and analytical difficulties associated with treating thin filaments as 3D objects has led to the development of slender body theory, in which filaments are approximated as 1D curves in a 3D […]
