Abstract: During cardiovascular development, peristaltic contraction of the embryonic heart tube produces time-varying hemodynamic forces and pressure gradients across the atrioventricular canal. However, the relative importance of myocardial contraction and […]
In recent years, there has been growing interest in applying neural networks to the data-driven approximation of partial differential equations (PDEs). In this talk, we present GenCFD, a generative AI […]
Motivated by the need to better understand and predict exchange processes between the land surface and the atmosphere and their impact on weather and climate, the past decades have seen […]
From autonomous vehicles navigating busy intersections to quadrupeds deployed in household environments, robots must operate safely and efficiently around people in uncertain and unstructured situations. However, today's robots still struggle […]
Biofilms are viscoelastic materials. Biofilm viscoelasticity is an evolved property of these communities, and the production of multiple extracellular polymeric slime components appears to be a mechanism to ensure the […]
Preventing injury and restoring mobility following injury, both musculoskeletal and neuromuscular, is challenging. In recent years, the fields of biomechanics and clinical rehabilitation have informed the development of wearable devices […]
Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) has the promise of modulating deep brain structures with small focal spots. Early work by Fry (Science 1958) in modulating the visual system is reproducible and […]
Robots are traditionally designed with fixed physical hardware and control policies that make them specialized for repetitive tasks and structured environments. This talk discusses foundational work toward robots that "evolve […]
Efficient and resilient coordination among autonomous agents plays an important role in various domains such as energy management, robotic swarms, autonomous vehicles and beyond. As these systems grow in complexity […]
Biological wastewater treatment systems are ideal models with which to study "eco-systems biology" of microbial communities. Polyphosphate accumulating bacteria are used world-wide to remove phosphorus from wastewater but the most […]
Optional make-up day (for February 19 classes)
Our next KEEN-sponsored Lunch-N'-Learn. These workshops are focused on engineering education topics that could benefit faculty instructors and our students. Lunch is provided. RSVP: https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8v01bDKVbkkMQFU
