MEAM Seminar: “Mechanical Behavior of Self-healing Hydrogels with Chemical and Physical Cross-links: Theory and Experiments”
In recent years polymer chemists have made tremendous strides in the synthesis of biocompatible, tough, self-healing hydrogels. However, there are not many comprehensive mechanical models that capture the observed time dependent mechanical behavior of these gels (especially fracture) to the underlying, rate dependent bond breaking and reformation processes. In this talk I will summarize some […]

November 2, 2022 -CBE Seminar Series: “It Takes Two: Conserved Bimodal Interactions between the Coronavirus Fusion Peptide and Calcium Ions Promote Host Membrane Insertion and Viral Entry” (Susan Daniel, Cornell University)
ASSET Seminar: Building certifiably safe and correct large-scale autonomy, Chuchu Fan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
ABSTRACT: The introduction of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) creates unprecedented opportunities for achieving full autonomy. However, learning-based methods in building autonomous systems can be extremely brittle in practice and are not designed to be verifiable. In this talk, I will present several of our recent efforts that combine ML with formal methods […]

November 3, 2022 -Fall 2022 GRASP Industry Talk – Zoox Company Info Session: The Future of Transportation & Autonomous Vehicles
MSE Seminar: “Emerging Energy Materials: Joule Heating and Wood”
I lead an Energy Materials and Devices research group at the University of Maryland, College Park, with a major mission to address the CO2 challenge. Our current research interests include (1) ultrahigh-temperature synthesis of new materials and their use in advanced energy devices, (2) beyond Li-ion batteries for transportation and the grid, and (3) wood […]
BE Seminar: “Precision Engineering for Cancer Immunotherapy” (James Moon, University of Michigan)
This is a hybrid seminar which will be held in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom (link coming soon). Precision Engineering for Cancer Immunotherapy Cancer immunotherapy is now considered the fourth pillar of cancer therapy, joining the ranks of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, only a small subset of cancer patients responds to cancer […]
Fall 2022 GRASP Industry Talk – Zoox Company Info Session: The Future of Transportation & Autonomous Vehicles
Overview: Come network with Zoox employees as we discuss Zoox’s mission, the challenges we’re encountering in the industry, and the internship opportunities available in 2023. About us: Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine […]

November 4, 2022 -PICS Colloquium: “Group-Theoretic Approach for Nonlinear Problems in Mechanics with High Symmetry Avoids Use of Imperfections”
Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: Wenzhen Yuan, Carnegie Mellon University, “Making sense of the physical world with high-resolution tactile sensing”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT In this talk, I will introduce the development of a high-resolution robotic tactile sensor GelSight, and how it can help robots understand and interact with the physical world. GelSight is a vision-based tactile sensor that measures the […]
PICS Colloquium: “Group-Theoretic Approach for Nonlinear Problems in Mechanics with High Symmetry Avoids Use of Imperfections”
Many interesting problems in nonlinear mechanics, from classical to more recent, pertain to applications with high initial symmetry: from the buckling of thin walled structures to the morphing in architected materials – the list is long! A common feature of these problems, in addition to their importance for engineering applications, is their great theoretical interest […]
