SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Wave Engineering: From Geometry to Fragility"
DESCRIPTION:The elastic properties of materials are determined by a few material constants such as the Young’s modulus. Using super-structures one can effectively change these “constants”. In this way we obtain functionalities such as wave-guiding\, acoustic lensing or programmable failure. I will show how topological band theory\, known from the description of electrons in solids\, provides us with a powerful design-principle for such mechanical metamaterials. Moreover\, mechanical metamaterials offer a powerful platform for the study of fundamentally new phenomena that are hard to observe in other arenas. Here\, I will highlight the first measurement of a quadrupole topological insulator in a silicon based metamaterial\, the implementation of an axial gauge field in an acoustic Weyl system and the measurements of fragile topology.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Phase Behavior and Self-Assembly of Active Colloids"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nIn recent years\, a new type of synthetic microparticle has captured the imagination of researchers across the physical and biological sciences. These so-called active colloids convert chemical or environmental free energy into irreversible directed motion. Impressively\, the active force generated by the particles can lead to self-propelling speeds of tens of hundreds of microns per second. Active colloids challenge our theoretical understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena and simultaneously represent a potentially innovative approach to directed transport and material design at the microscale. In this talk\, I will discuss one of the most striking features of active colloids\, which is their rich and complex nonequilibrium phase behavior. Special emphasis will be given to motility-induced phase separation where purely repulsive active colloids undergo a liquid-gas phase transition. This talk will provide a quantitative understanding of this phenomenon by generalizing concepts in classical statistical mechanics and liquid state theory to active systems. This newfound understanding can be leveraged to improve the self-assembly of many complex colloidal structures using active colloids.

SUMMARY:ODEI Spotlight: The 20th Annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture in Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Cornel West is Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy at Harvard University and Professor Emeritus at Princeton University. Cornel West graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard in three years and obtained his M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy at Princeton. \nHe has written 20 books and has edited 13. He is best known for his classics\, Race Matters and Democracy Matters\, and for his memoir\, Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud. His most recent book\, Black Prophetic Fire\, offers an unflinching look at nineteenth and twentieth-century African American leaders and their visionary legacies. \nDr. West is the co-host along with Dr. Tricia Rose of The Tight Rope which is a weekly podcast where they take time to welcome listeners and guests as thought collaborators with revered hosts and public intellectuals. \nDr. West is a frequent guest on the Bill Maher Show\, CNN\, C-Span and Democracy Now. He has a passion to communicate to a vast variety of publics in order to keep alive the legacy of Martin Luther King\, Jr. – a legacy of telling the truth and bearing witness to love and justice.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Designing Biology for Detection and Control" (Pamela A. Silver)
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will be held virtually – Zoom link coming soon. \nThe engineering of Biology presents infinite opportunities for therapeutic design\, diagnosis\, and prevention of disease.  We use what we know from Nature to engineer systems with predictable behaviors.  We also seek to discover new natural strategies to then re-engineer.  I will present concepts and experiments that address how we approach these problems in a systematic way.  Conceptually\, we seek to both design cells and proteins to control disease states and to detect and predict the severity of emerging pathogens.  For example\, we have engineered components of the gut microbiome to act therapeutics for infectious disease\, proteins to prolong cell states\, living pathogen sensors and high throughput analysis to predict immune response of emerging viruses.

SUMMARY:GRASP On Robotics: "Wearable Haptic Devices for Ubiquitous Communication"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Haptic devices allow touch-based information transfer between humans and intelligent systems\, enabling communication in a salient but private manner that frees other sensory channels. For such devices to become ubiquitous\, their physical and computational aspects must be intuitive and unobtrusive. The amount of information that can be transmitted through touch is limited in large part by the location\, distribution\, and sensitivity of human mechanoreceptors. Not surprisingly\, many haptic devices are designed to be held or worn at the highly sensitive fingertips\, yet stimulation using a device attached to the fingertips precludes natural use of the hands. Thus\, we explore the design of a wide array of haptic feedback mechanisms\, ranging from devices that can be actively touched by the fingertips to multi-modal haptic actuation mounted on the arm. We demonstrate how these devices are effective in virtual reality\, human-machine communication\, and human-human communication. \nZoom Webinar Link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/94052429739
