August 20, 2024 -MEAM Seminar: “Impulse-Induced Dynamic Transitions in Flexible Mechanical Metamaterials: Harnessing Nonlinear Wave Dynamics for Advanced Engineering Applications”
MEAM Seminar: “Impulse-Induced Dynamic Transitions in Flexible Mechanical Metamaterials: Harnessing Nonlinear Wave Dynamics for Advanced Engineering Applications”
Mechanical metamaterials are artificially designed structures that offer unique properties like negative Poisson’s ratio, tunable stiffness, and advanced thermal characteristics. While the static properties of mechanical metamaterials have been widely studied, their nonlinear dynamics stemming from the structural and geometric designs remain largely unexplored, which could pave ways for innovative design and optimization for novel […]

August 21, 2024 -BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Engineering Magnetic Devices and Nanoparticle Platforms to Improve Drug Accumulation and Penetration in Tumors for Enhanced Cancer Treatment” (Bian Jang)
MEAM Seminar: “Programmable Strain-responsive Biopolymer Networks Adapt to High Magnitudes of Mechanical Loading”
Biopolymer hydrogel materials typically exhibit relatively low range of programmable modulus less than 100 kPa, which limits their biomedical applications, such as in articular cartilage and synthetic joints, where tissues are cyclically loaded with high magnitudes of peak stress on the order of 10MPa, and applications in soft robotics require moduli across orders of magnitude […]

August 22, 2024 -BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Right ventricular remodeling in tetralogy of Fallot” (Beth Thompson)
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Enhancing Photophoretic Levitation using Three-dimensional Structures for Flight in the Mesosphere and on Mars”
Current propulsion and flight mechanisms limit atmospheric observations. The mesosphere is too dense for satellites and too thin for typical planes and balloons, with similar conditions found in the Martian atmosphere, especially at Olympus Mons. Photophoresis, the movement of gas molecules due to light, has been studied for microscale objects like aerosols and operates optimally […]
