Abstract: For centuries, researchers have sought out ways to connect disparate areas of knowledge. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we can now rigorously explore relationships that span across distinct areas - such as, mechanics and biology, or science and art - to deepen our understanding, to accelerate innovation, and to drive scientific discovery.

As the volume of hypoxic waters grows around the globe, numerical models are increasingly used to understand the drivers of hypoxia and guide decisions that will mitigate its impacts. Such models represent microbial processes, such as photosynthesis and decomposition, which actively cycle nutrients and particulate material that influence hypoxia. Although microorganisms are critical to such […]
This seminar will discuss core opportunities and challenges at the intersection of experimental mechanics and machine learning. The application of data-driven and machine learning approaches to the mechanics of structural materials under a range of representative applications will be discussed, largely in the context of enabling high throughput experimentation and analysis, and in enabling new […]
Composite materials, due to their anisotropic stiffness, offer an improved potential for aeroelastic tailoring over isotropic material, e.g. metallic fan blades. This is because the anisotropy enlarges the degrees of freedom available. The presentation will show examples for using the orientation of the fibers in the composite, i.e. the lay-ups, for aeroelastic tailoring. It will […]

This seminar summarizes human-computer interfaces for quality inspection aided by robotics applications, enhancing human decision-making with Artificial-Intelligence (AI) and machine-enabled visual analysis. Accordingly, interfaces of image-based automatic defect-detection and visual inspectors are explored focusing on Augmented Reality (AR) systems. A standalone human interface for automatic defect detection and localization is developed by integrating an image-based […]
Join the rest of the Pratt School of Engineering Community in a special dedication of a special new place on our campus -- the Thomas E. Harrington E'66 GREAT IDEAS BENCH. The dedication will take place at the BENCH, located where Hudson Hall meets Harrington Engineering Quad.
ABSTRACT: Electrochemical processes are vital for global decarbonization efforts because they are central to many energy-efficient storage and conversion technologies and can also be leveraged for large scale chemical manufacturing. In the context of these energy applications, it is necessary to understand factors that control the kinetics and selectivity of electrochemical reactions. At the electrode […]

The Colorado River Basin (CRB) is a vitally important resource for Western US water supply, agriculture, and hydropower. The 1922 Colorado River Compact promoted growth by allocating a fixed amount of water to Upper and Lower Basin states, not foreseeing potential conflicts over inadequate supply. Lakes Powell and Mead have the capacity to store up […]

Join us for a special screening of Force of Water, a documentary film that follows two communities, one in Ecuador and one in Uganda, as they mobilize to build their own piped water systems. This one-hour documentary follows two communities - one in Ecuador and one in Uganda - as they embark on the monumental […]
