Summer 2025 GRASP Seminar: “Brain orchestra in resting-state: Identifying communication modules from the functional architecture of area V1”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in AGH 306 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT How does the brain perform the complicated computations that allow us to learn about and interact with the environment? The rapid advances in optical imaging, machine learning, and the availability of computational resources, provide a unique opportunity to […]
MSE Ph.D. Thesis: “Metasurfaces For Environmental Refractive Index Sensing: Design, Fabrication And Interrogation”
Metasurfaces are artificial materials composed of sub-wavelength building blocks whose size, shape, periodicity and composition are tailored to engineer their optical response and achieve arbitrary control of their interactions with light. Their phase discontinuities or resonances are critically dependent upon the local dielectric or refractive index environment, thus making metasurfaces excellent candidates as refractive index […]

June 10, 2025 -MEAM Seminar: “SLAM in Hard Places”
MEAM Seminar: “SLAM in Hard Places”
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is a fundamental problem for robots interacting with a novel environment and has been a densely studied area of research for several decades. The modern paradigm of feature extraction and matching coupled with advancements in sensor technology have allowed robots to achieve sub meter localization accuracy over kilometer long trajectories in […]

June 11, 2025ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Tunable Dielectric Nanocrystal Metasurfaces for Colorimetric Sensing”
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Tunable Dielectric Nanocrystal Metasurfaces for Colorimetric Sensing”
Optical metasurfaces enable strong light–matter interactions, making them ideal platforms for high–figure-of-merit (FOM) sensing. When fabricated from colloidal nanocrystal dispersions, these metasurfaces offer unique advantages in fabrication flexibility, reconfigurability, and cost-effectiveness. However, conventional fabrication approaches often rely on toxic material systems. In this thesis, we enhance the FOM of titanium dioxide (TiO₂)-based dielectric metasurfaces by […]

June 12, 2025 -MEAM Seminar: “Discrete and Continuous Modeling of Fibrous Biological Materials: Compressible Large Deformations, Damage, and Crack Propagation”
MEAM Seminar: “Discrete and Continuous Modeling of Fibrous Biological Materials: Compressible Large Deformations, Damage, and Crack Propagation”
Random fiber networks are integral to biological materials such as the extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton, and blood clots. A random fiber network is the main structural component of the extracellular matrix, the cytoskeleton, and our blood clots. The mechanical behavior of these materials is characterized by large deformations, non-linear stress-strain response, and large compressibility. Experimental and […]
