ESE Guest Seminar – “Van der Waals Quantum Materials for Magnetism and Clean Energy”
In recent years, numerous magnetic van der Waals layered quantum materials have been reported, including transition-metal halides, transition-metal chalcogenides, transition-metal phosphorus chalcogenides, and metal oxy- and chalco-halides. Unlike 3D counterparts, layered magnets can be easily and rapidly exfoliated to yield ultra-thin magnets, providing unique opportunities for both fundamental physics and new technologies. Furthermore, these materials […]
ESE Ph.D. Seminar: “Nonconvex Linear System Identification”
The goal of system identification (SysID) is to learn a mathematical model from a corpus of temporal observations of a system's inputs and outputs. SysID is a fundamental problem in engineering, with applications ranging from circuit design to robot control. Classical approaches to linear SysID rely on convex relaxations that offer strong theoretical guarantees. However, […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “QuINT – Quantum Integrated Network Timing”
This dissertation presents QuINT, a modular platform for integrating new quantum and optical science into the Internet’s IP-based optical network infrastructure. Building on a recently developed chip-powered quantum-classical hybrid networking framework, QuINT provides a detailed analysis and design for enhancing the precision of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) beyond that of existing standalone synchronization systems. […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Colloidal Propulsion by a Topological Flagellum in a Nematic Liquid Crystal” (Jacky Zhang)
Abstract: Swimming, self-organization, and collective behaviors of active and driven colloids have implications in nature and applications to reconfigurable materials. Here, we focus on swimming or displacement made possible by the complex topologies of defects within nematic liquid crystals (NLCs). In Newtonian fluids, colloidal swimming is challenging; broken symmetries or non-reciprocal forcing are needed to […]

November 25, 2025 -ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Design and optimization of laminated metallic cores for high-frequency transformers and inductors”
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Design and optimization of laminated metallic cores for high-frequency transformers and inductors”
High-frequency power converters increasingly require magnetic components that are compact, efficient, and compatible with advanced integration. Conventional ferrites face limitations in scaling and high-frequency performance. This work introduces laminated NiFe magnetic structures fabricated through CMOS-compatible multilayer electroplating as a promising alternative. The materials and fabrication approach are demonstrated through silicon TSV inductors and transformers, PCB-integrated […]
