MEAM Seminar: “Developing Physically Consistent Coarse-grained Models and Generative Backmapping Frameworks”
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations must solve Newton’s equations at the femtosecond scale to resolve atomistic vibrations. However, most phenomena of scientific interest occur at the micro to millisecond scale. This massive timescale discrepancy creates a severe computational bottleneck, requiring traditional MD to run an impractical number of simulation steps. To bypass this limitation, researchers frequently […]

CBE Special Seminar: “How Trees Pull Water without Breaking It” (Matej Kanduč, Department of Theoretical Physics, Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia)
Abstract: It may seem surprising that we can lower the pressure in a liquid to negative values, far below the saturated vapor pressure at which a vapor phase should form. In water, such deeply metastable states are possible only when it is exceptionally pure and free of nucleation sites. It is therefore even more striking […]

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “2D/3D Heterostructures & Ultrathin AlScN Devices for Emerging Applications in Memory & Space”
Zoom Link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/92711825975?pwd=t5bjbMBW8FmePQfQVpwYAs7SyENU1r.1 Meeting ID: 927 1182 5975 Passcode: 429961 Abstract: The semiconductor industry’s ever-growing demand for smaller device dimensions, better power efficiency and lower prices has pushed state of the art silicon-based computing technology to its physical limits. Ferroelectric non-volatile technology could be the answer to this challenge as it enables memory and logic tasks […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Decomposition Methods for Safety-Aware Design: From Conservatism to Performance in Layered Control”
Zoom Link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/7354979301?pwd=lQzV6QIdj4Br8fQvim4PJgV8GSl1Cp.1&omn=99268288296 Meeting ID: 735 497 9301 Passcode: 94358124 Abstract: Layered control is a concept in decision-making that separates responsibilities across different optimization problems designed to collectively perform an overall task. This concept is well-understood among robotics and control engineers, since computation is a fundamental bottleneck in real-time, safety-critical applications. However, the failure of a […]
MEAM Seminar: “Experimentally Validated Reduced-order Modeling for the Control of Flow in Compliant Tubes”
While the movement of fluid through rigid conduits is a well-characterized classical problem, predicting the behavior of fluid flow through a compliant tube, in which tube deformation and the behavior of the fluid are strongly coupled, remains a challenge. There are many applications related to soft actuators, adaptive structures, and biomedical transport devices in which […]
