Tedori-Callinan Lecture: “Resist Fatigue by De-concentrating Stress”
Most materials suffer from a disease: fatigue. Symptoms include degradation of properties and growth of cracks under cyclic stretch. These materials are unfit for applications involving prolonged and cyclic loads. A crack grows in a material because the crack tip concentrates stress. Recently, we have been developing fatigue-resistant materials by de-concentrating stress, through mechanisms at […]
CIS Seminar:”David V.S. Goliath: the Art of Leaderboarding in the Era of Extreme-Scale Neural Models”
Scale appears to be the winning recipe in today's leaderboards. And yet, extreme-scale neural models are still brittle to make errors that are often nonsensical and even counterintuitive. In this talk, I will argue for the importance of knowledge, especially commonsense knowledge, and demonstrate how smaller models developed in academia can still have an edge over larger industry-scale models, if powered with knowledge. […]

CEMB Future Leaders Seminar: “Enhanced matrix stress relaxation promotes cell migration”
Launched in May 2021, the Future Leaders in Mechanobiology is a monthly seminar series featuring up-and-coming leaders in mechanobiology–PhD students and postdocs from a wide range of fields, backgrounds, and institutions. By providing an international stage to share one’s work and opportunities to interact with researchers at all career stages, we aim to create an inclusive and […]
CBE Seminar: “The Refinery of Today, Tomorrow and the Future: A Separations Perspective”
Abstract The hydrocarbon processing industry is in the midst of a major shift in feedstocks, structure, and products. Aggressive carbon abatement targets and intrinsic efficiency advantages from electric vehicles strongly undercut the advantages of fossil fuels, which are the majority product of this industry. However, the immense value of the existing hydrocarbon infrastructure suggests that […]
