SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Multifunctional Soft Materials for Electronics\, Robots\, and Adhesives"
DESCRIPTION:Multifunctional soft materials and interfaces create intriguing new opportunities to enhance performance through programmable and adaptable properties. I will discuss: 1) Novel material architectures of solid-liquid soft composites for electronics\, 2) Switchable and programmable materials for adhesion control\, and 3) Morphing materials for soft robotics. For soft composites\, I will show how liquid metal droplets incorporated into elastomers enables exceptional combinations of soft elasticity and electrical and thermal properties for self-healing and recyclable circuits. For adhesives\, I will discuss how we couple switchable\, octopus-inspired adhesives with embedded sensing\, processing\, and control for robust underwater manipulation. This enables a wearable glove where an array of adhesives and sensors creates a biomimetic adhesive skin to manipulate diverse underwater objects. Metamaterial adhesives are also created that exhibit strong and reversible adhesion with spatially selective adhesion strength through programmed cut architectures in adhesive films. These properties are achieved by using cuts to trap adhesive cracks at predetermined locations and then forcing the crack to reverse direction and propagate backwards to separate. By combining active materials with programmed geometry\, I will then introduce multifunctional morphing materials with reversible\, rapid\, and lockable polymorphic reconfigurability. By integrating these materials with onboard control\, motors\, and power\, we can create a soft robotic morphing drone which autonomously transforms from a ground to air vehicle for multiple locomotion modes. These approaches provide model systems to study fundamental material properties while enabling electronic skins\, soft robots\, and advanced adhesives for a variety of soft matter systems.

SUMMARY:ASSET Seminar: Domain Adaptation Under Causally Structured Distribution Shifts\, Zachary Lipton (Carnegie Mellon University)
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Abstract: \nFaced with unlabeled data in deployment that is sampled from a different distribution than that which generated the training data\, all bets are off. Moreover\, while numerous heuristics have been proposed for this vague setting\, it remains unclear when any among them are applicable. One way to render these problems identifiable is to impose some (assumed) causal structure\, both over how the variables are related to each other\, which factors are potentially manipulable (and\, complementarily\, which are domain-invariant). Unlike conventional problems in causality\, where the goal is to estimate the effect of a manipulation (a change in the policy for prescribing the treatment)\, here the manipulation has already happened\, and our goal is to leverage the causal structure to adapt our predictors appropriately. In this talk\, I will discuss some structures under which these problems are identifiable and some of the challenges (and solutions) for applying these ideas in deep learning settings.

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 GRASP SFI: Michael Johnson\, Philadelphia Robotics Coalition "Building STEM Equity through Robotics"
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom.  \nABSTRACT\nPhiladelphia Robotics Coalition founder\, and School District of Philadelphia engineering teacher Michael Johnson discusses how Philadelphia public schools are using the competitive FIRST robotics programs to build STEM equity in our city. With the goal to inspire and prepare the next generation of STEM leaders in Philadelphia\, the Coalition provides training\, support\, and resources for 180 robotics teams so that students in any neighborhood can access the learning\, experiences\, and networks surrounding them in the Philadelphia STEM community. Michael will also explain ways that GRASP students and researchers can get involved in this effort in a meaningful way across a continuum of time commitment levels.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - MSE Seminar: “Additive Manufacturing of Intermetallic: A Designer’s Approach”
DESCRIPTION:Modern materials contain extraordinary levels of complexity\, with components spanning a hierarchy of length scales. Designing materials with complex microstructures and demonstrating unique behaviors would be difficult solely using a reductionist approach to materials development.   A powerful utility in this endeavor is using multiple\, correlative\, and scaffolding computational tools.  This talk focused on using an integrated materials design approach spanning electronic structure calculations to thermodynamics modeling and paired with combinatorial experimental methods to produce a high-temperature aluminum-based intermetallic for additive manufacturing.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Tissue Architecture Driven by Immune Cells" (John Hickey\, Stanford University)
DESCRIPTION:“Tissue Architecture Driven by Immune Cells” \nJohn has developed multiplexed spatial omics techniques and computational tools to decode critical interactions within the multidimensional data (e.g.\, multiscale models and deep learning algorithms). He applied these tools to understand spatial relationships of cells within the healthy human intestine\, inflammation induced cancers (esophageal cancer)\, and in T cell therapy for cancer. His lab will bridge spatial-omics technology\, computational algorithm development\, and engineering biology\, to resolve spatiotemporal mechanisms governing multiple scales of biology\, with a first application in cell therapies. His interdisciplinary training enables him to “speak” multiple scientific languages to facilitate critical collaborations across scientific disciplines.

SUMMARY:PICS/MEAM Seminar: "A Low Rank Tensor Approach for Nonlinear Vlasov Simulations"
DESCRIPTION:In this work\, we present a low-rank tensor approach for approximating solutions to the nonlinear Vlasov equation. Our method takes advantage of the tensor-friendly nature of the differential operators in the Vlasov equation to dynamically and adaptively construct a low-rank solution basis through the discretization of the equation and an SVD-type truncation procedure. We utilize finite difference WENO and discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretizations\, along with a second-order strong stability preserving multi-step time discretization. To preserve conservation properties\, we develop low-rank schemes with local mass\, momentum\, and energy conservation for the corresponding macroscopic equations. The mass and momentum are conserved using a conservative SVD truncation\, while the energy is conserved by replacing the energy component of the kinetic solution with one obtained from a conservative scheme for the macroscopic energy equation. We employ hierarchical Tucker decomposition for high-dimensional problems\, and demonstrate the high-order convergence\, efficiency\, and local conservation properties of our algorithm through a series of linear and nonlinear Vlasov examples.
