July 1, 2024 -MSE Thesis Defense: “Alloy Anodes for Alkali-Metal Batteries: Elucidating Lithiation Pathways of Metal/Metal Composites and Solid Solution Alloys Using Novel Nanoporous Tri-Layer Metal/Metal/Metal Composites”
MSE Thesis Defense: “Alloy Anodes for Alkali-Metal Batteries: Elucidating Lithiation Pathways of Metal/Metal Composites and Solid Solution Alloys Using Novel Nanoporous Tri-Layer Metal/Metal/Metal Composites”
The pressing issues of global warming and the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves have prompted both private and governmental organizations to seek clean, renewable energy alternatives. Solar and wind energy have been extensively researched, leading to significantly reduced costs for energy production. However, to address the intermittent nature of these energy sources, reliable methods […]

July 2, 2024 -MSE Thesis Defense: “High-Resolution Characterization of Solid-Liquid Interfaces in Energy Storage Materials Using Microscopy: From Lithium Metal Anodes to Liquid Sodium-Potassium”
MEAM Seminar: “Macroscopic Ensemble Methods for Robot Team Data Collection in Dynamic Environments”
Data is necessary to improve our understanding of dynamic environments, like the ocean. With limited sensing resources, the challenge lies in identifying and acquiring sensor measurements over large spatial and temporal scales. One solution is to use a team of robots equipped with sensors to collect data. However, robot teams still require methods that effectively […]
MSE Thesis Defense: “High-Resolution Characterization of Solid-Liquid Interfaces in Energy Storage Materials Using Microscopy: From Lithium Metal Anodes to Liquid Sodium-Potassium”
Battery technologies are crucial for reducing greenhouse gases by enabling the use of renewable energy and facilitating the transition to electric vehicles, thereby lowering emissions. Lithium metal anodes are ideal for next-generation batteries in automotive applications due to their high energy density. However, issues such as dendrite formation and solid electrolyte interphases (SEI) affect their […]

July 3, 2024 -MEAM Seminar: “Fingertip Friction, Materials, and Tactile Perception”
MEAM Seminar: “Fingertip Friction, Materials, and Tactile Perception”
Sliding touch is one of the key inputs for the perception of materials in our environment. We are interested in the contribution of fingertip friction to the process of tactile exploration and perception. Psychophysical studies address correlations between subjective judgements of perception and measured physical parameters of interactions, in our case of friction on materials […]
