ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Multiferroic Micro Electromechanical Systems for Magnetic Sensing and Wireless Power Transfer in Biomedical Applications”
Multiferroic micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) enable small, room temperature, low power magnetic sensing and wireless power transfer (WPT) in biomedical applications. Current biomagnetic sensing relies on sensitive magnetometers like superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), but their reliance on cryogenic temperatures is undesirable. This thesis presents the theory, design, microfabrication, and characterization of multiferroic MEMS magnetic […]
MEAM Seminar: “Cardiovascular Engineering – A ‘Personal’ Journey from Bench to Bedside”
Over the past few decades, significant contributions have been made by engineers to healthcare. The successful translation of fundamental engineering concepts has helped improve patient care and diagnosis.

ASSET Seminar: “Reasoning Myths about Language Models: What is Next?” (Dan Roth, University of Pennsylvania)
ABSTRACT: The rapid progress made over the last few years in generating linguistically coherent natural language has blurred, in the mind of many, the difference between natural language generation, understanding, and the ability to reason with respect to the world. Nevertheless, robust support of high-level decisions that depend on natural language understanding, and one that […]

Spring 2024 GRASP SFI: Karl Pertsch, University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, “Building Open-Source Generalist Robot Policies”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Towne 337 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Generalist robot policies, trained on large and diverse robot datasets, have the potential to transform how robot learning research is done: in the same way that current models in NLP are almost universally derived from pretrained large […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Cellular Cosheaves, Graphic Statics, and Mechanics”
Methods from algebraic topology enable simplifications and extensions of fundamental concepts in structural and mechanical engineering. Chief among these tools are cellular sheaves and cosheaves - abstract mathematical data structures over polyhedra and discrete spaces. The homology of cellular cosheaves (and cohomology of cellular sheaves) combines and distills distributed data into the most meaningful algebraic-topological […]
CBE Seminar: “Creating Real Steak Without the Cow: Using Insights from Wine and Biopharmaceutical Production to Commercialize Cultivated Meat”
Abstract Between a growing global population and increased consumption of meat from developing countries, it is projected that meat production will have to increase by at least 60% by 2050 to meet demand. It is unlikely that expanded conventional animal agriculture alone will be able to meet this need. Therefore, alternatives to conventional meat will […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Do the Twist: Toward Agile Control of an Axially Twisting Robotic Quadruped”
Even as they continue to improve, legged robots pale in comparison to their biological counterparts. This discrepancy is at least partly due to robots possessing an order of magnitude fewer degrees of freedom. In fact, most dynamically capable quadrupedal robots lack any degrees of freedom in the torso, opting instead for a simpler, single, rigid […]
A Franklin Medal Laureate Lecture: “Building Therapies Layer-By-Layer”
Recipient of the 2024 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry
Benjamin Franklin Medal in Mechanical Engineering Lecture: “Molecular and Micro-Structural Mechanics and Design of Soft Materials”
Soft synthetic and natural polymeric-based materials offer particular new avenues for the design and fabrication of materials and devices. Engineering the molecular and geometrical structures of the constituent materials, together with utilizing their ability to sustain large deformations enables materials and designs with novel properties and functional behavior. We begin with the development of physically-based […]

BE Seminar: “Using Computers to Derive Protein Structure from Sparse Data – A Case Study for Mass Spectrometry” (Steffen Lindert, Ohio State)
Mass spectrometry-based methods such as covalent labeling, surface induced dissociation (SID) or ion mobility (IM) are increasingly used to obtain information about protein structure. However, in contrast to other high-resolution structure determination methods, this information is not sufficient to deduce all atom coordinates and can only inform on certain elements of structure, such as solvent […]

PICS Colloquium: “Physics-compatible kinetic-energy and entropy preserving (KEEP) scheme for high-fidelity simulation of compressible turbulence”
Low (or ideally zero) numerical dissipation is always critical for high-fidelity scale-resolving flow simulations, as numerical dissipation prevents the physics of inviscid kinetic energy and entropy conservation, which is an essential attribute of compressible turbulence. However, contrary to the requirement, numerical schemes in compressible flow heavily rely on numerical dissipation for stable computation, preventing high-fidelity […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Identifying Material Fingerprints of Relevance to Understand Adsorbate-Surface Interactions Using First Principles Modeling and Machine Learning” (Genesis Quiles-Galarza)
Abstract: Adsorption of chemical species on surfaces of materials is one of the critical phenomenon governing the reactivity and activity of the material for surface and interface driven chemical reactions. At the core of the analytical $d$-band adsorption model is the correlation between the adsorption energy of a chemical species (molecule or reaction intermediate) on […]
