September 28, 2021 -MEAM Seminar: “Kirigami: Programming Cutting and Folding from Microscale to Meter Scale”
MEAM Seminar: “Kirigami: Programming Cutting and Folding from Microscale to Meter Scale”
Programmable shape-shifting materials can take different physical forms to achieve multifunctionality in a dynamic and controllable manner. By introducing holes and cuts in 2D sheets, we demonstrate dramatic color and shape change and super-conformability via collapsing or expanding of the hole arrays in the micro- and macroscales. When choosing the cuts and geometry correctly, we […]

September 29, 2021 -CBE Seminar: “Shake It Off: Dynamics of Bacterial Adhesions at Interfaces”
CBE Seminar: “Shake It Off: Dynamics of Bacterial Adhesions at Interfaces”
Abstract Control over adhesion of bacteria on solid and liquid interfaces underlies a spectrum of practical applications, ranging from preventing the formation of destructive biofilms on medical devices and on resource pipelines to removing pollutants from water. Because microscale bacteria are similar in size to colloidal particles, bacterial adhesion has long been studied using models […]

September 30, 2021 -MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “A Differential Homogenization Framework for Precipitation-Strengthened Metals”
ODEI Spotlight: Promoting LGBTQ+ Inclusivity
Are you looking for a way to expand your understanding of what it means to be a member of LGBTQ+ communities? Do you feel uneducated in conversations surrounding LGBTQ+ language and preferred terms? Join us for this interactive session which provides participants with an overview of LGBTQ+ history, terms, and current issues. It is a […]
MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “A Differential Homogenization Framework for Precipitation-Strengthened Metals”
Composite materials, such as metal- and polymer-matrix composites, exhibit both elastic and dissipative effects when subjected to macroscopic loadings. Even when the phases of the composite are characterized by a simple Maxwell rheology, the complex viscoelastic interactions between the phases give rise to emergent behavior at the macroscopic scale. Incorporating these ``long-memory'' effects in the […]

October 1, 2021 -ODEI Spotlight: Career Services Q&A zoom session for International Students
Fall 2021 GRASP Seminar: Rahul Mangharam, University of Pennsylvania, “What can we learn from Autonomous Racing?”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom here. Balancing performance and safety are crucial to deploying autonomous vehicles in multi-agent environments. In particular, autonomous racing is a domain that penalizes safe but conservative policies, highlighting the need for robust, adaptive strategies. Current approaches […]
ODEI Spotlight: Career Services Q&A zoom session for International Students
Are you an international student at Penn with questions about your resume, cover letters, interviewing, LinkedIn, using Handshake, finding opportunities, career fairs, virtual interviews, networking, negotiations, or other job search topics? Join this informal zoom session where Jillian Cener, Associate Director of Penn Career Services, will answer your questions and have a discussion with the […]
