MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Data-Driven Model Discovery for Non-Equilibrium Phenomena: Unraveling Continuum Behavior from Stochastic Dynamics”
Non-equilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous across material systems and of great technological relevance. Examples of such phenomena include diffusion processes in liquid and gases, viscoelasticity and plasticity in solids, and rheological behavior of colloidal and granular media. Despite their ubiquity and importance, the understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena remains in its infancy compared with classical equilibrium thermodynamics […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “A Robot’s Search for Meaning: Semantics as a Common Representation for Heterogeneous Robot State Estimation and Collaboration”
Mapping and navigation have gone hand-in-hand since long before robots existed. For almost as long, maps have also been a key form of communication, allowing someone who has never been to an area to nonetheless navigate that area successfully. In the context of multi-robot systems, the maps and information that flow between robots are what […]

MEAM Seminar: “Semantic Localization, Mapping, and Exploration by Multiple Aerial Robots”
Traditional approaches for active mapping focus on building geometric maps. For most real-world applications, however, actionable information is related to semantically meaningful objects in the environment. We propose an approach to the active metric-semantic mapping problem that enables multiple heterogeneous robots to collaboratively build a map of the environment. The robots actively explore to minimize […]

July 12, 2023 -MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Transport and Mixing with Swimming Microorganisms in Chaotic Flows”
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Transport and Mixing with Swimming Microorganisms in Chaotic Flows”
Microorganisms, primitive unicellular forms of life, form the basis of the food web and play crucial roles in the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Habitats of microorganisms, from oceans and lakes to soil and human intestines, are often characterized by constant fluid motion. Fluid flow exerts forces and torques on microorganisms that affect their movement and distribution, […]

July 14, 2023 -CBE PhD Thesis Defense: “BIJEL-Templated Advanced Functional Materials for a Sustainable Future”
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Discrete and Continuous Optimization for Collaborative and Multi-task Learning”
This thesis is dedicated to addressing the challenges of robust collaborative learning and optimization in both discrete and continuous domains. With the ever-increasing scale of data and the growing demand for effective distributed learning, a multitude of obstacles emerge, including communication limitations, resilience to failures and corrupted data, limited information access, and collaboration in multi-task […]
CBE PhD Thesis Defense: “BIJEL-Templated Advanced Functional Materials for a Sustainable Future”
Advanced functional materials comprising multiple components with nano- and microscopic features typically rely on expensive and time-consuming fabrication methods. Kinetically-trapped disordered structures provide a powerful alternate route to fabricate fault-tolerant, multi-component functional structures at scale. Developing such structures with controllable features that could serve as materials templates for various applications is of great importance. Bicontinuous […]
