ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Toward Scalable Synthesis of High-Quality Two-Dimensional Materials”
Hybrid Event
Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a route to sustain semiconductor device scaling beyond the limits of silicon, providing atomically thin, dangling-bond-free channels and a versatile platform for further device scaling and […]
MEAM Seminar: “Exploiting Bistability for the Static, Dynamic and Aerodynamic Control of Mechanical Metamaterials”
Mechanical metamaterials achieve extraordinary physical properties through their internal geometric architectures. While traditional metamaterials are limited by fixed designs, multistable reprogrammable metamaterials can modify these properties post-fabrication and morph into […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Multiscale Molecular Simulation Approaches to Small Molecule Permeation in Glassy Polymers” (Sam Layding)
Abstract: Glass-forming, disordered materials are ubiquitous in our world. Systems lacking long-range order like a liquid but with many of the mechanical properties of a solid have countless applications and […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Optical Interfacing of Solid-State Spin Defects”
Hybrid Event
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/94300725438?pwd=ULEYFh03w6gJQemJJ1rx6HlaPA2kZn.1 Solid-state spin defects are a versatile class of systems for emerging quantum technologies. This thesis focuses on the optical interfacing of such defect platforms. In the first […]
