ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Wave Interaction with Nonreciprocal Swift-Electron Platforms and Reconfigurable Metasurfaces”
The study of electromagnetic wave interactions with various media is of fundamental significance in both theoretical and applied sciences. Understanding how electromagnetic waves propagate, reflect, refract, and scatter when encountering different materials is essential for the design of advanced technologies in telecommunications, imaging, sensing, and computation. Furthermore, the ability to manipulate wave behavior within diverse […]
MSE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Controlling Assembly of Polymer-grafted Nanoparticles to Enhance Mechanical Properties in Polymer Nanocomposite Films”
Polymer nanocomposite (PNC) films are of interest for many applications including electronics, energy storage, and advanced coatings. In phase-separating PNCs, the interplay between thermodynamic and kinetic factors governs the assembly of polymer-grafted nanoparticles (NPs), which directly influences material properties. Understanding how processing parameters affect the structure-property relationship of PNCs is important for designing advanced materials. […]

January 15, 2025 -ASSET Seminar: “Poison and Cure: Non-Convex Optimization Techniques for Private Synthetic Data and Reconstruction Attacks”
ASSET Seminar: “Poison and Cure: Non-Convex Optimization Techniques for Private Synthetic Data and Reconstruction Attacks”
Abstract: I will survey recent results describing the application of modern non-convex optimization methods to the problems of reconstruction attacks on private datasets (the “poison”), and the algorithmic generation of synthetic versions of private datasets that provably provide strong privacy guarantees (the “cure”).

January 16, 2025 -MSE Grace Hopper Lecture: “Bioelectronics to Probe Brain-Body Physiology” (Polina Anikeeva – Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
MSE Grace Hopper Lecture: “Bioelectronics to Probe Brain-Body Physiology” (Polina Anikeeva – Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Biological signaling in the mammalian nervous system spans a dizzying range of spatial and temporal scales. To understand how cellular and molecular signals contribute to physiology and behavior and to treat the neurological and psychiatric conditions our group designs tools that mimic biological complexity yet match the materials properties of tissues. By combining polymer engineering, […]
