An interactive symposium on the frontiers of soft matter, Duke Soft Matter Day is a collaboration between Duke University and the International Program Committee of ISMC 2024.
Abstract: A crucial yet unavailable component in high-performance photonic integrated circuits (ICs) and other chip-scale photonic systems is an on-chip light source that is efficient, economical, IC-compatible, and electronically addressable. In this talk, I will cover several types of on-chip sources, including III-V nanoLEDs and topologically protected microlasers, perovskite microlasers and luminescent hyperbolic metamaterials, and […]
Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Fall 2024 Seminar Series, welcomes Shu Yang, Professor of Materials Science & Engineering and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, at the University of Pennsylvania. ABSTRACT: Our living environment plays a critical role in the quality of our life and well-being. To combat greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and […]
Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Fall 2024 Seminar Series, welcomes Ann Majewicz Fey, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, at The University of Texas at Austin, who will present a lecture entitled, "Towards More Human-Aware Robotic Systems for Surgical Training and Intervention." ABSTRACT: Human-generated, preventable errors, particularly those made intra-operatively, can lead to […]
Abstract: Our research is focused on understanding and creating molecular devices and machines that can perform specific tasks as directed by users. We draw inspiration from natural macromolecular assemblies such as viruses and molecular motors and seek to implement similar principles in synthetic molecular machinery. We use both DNA origami and de-novo protein design in […]
Attention Undergraduates! Your perfect graduate school program may be *very* close by. Drop in at the Fitzpatrick Atrium for pizza, swag, and info about the growing variety of master's degree programs at Duke Engineering. Stop by and see us on October 2nd from 11-1:30 pm. No RSVP needed.
Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science Fall 2024 Seminar Series welcomes Douglas Holmes, professor of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University, for a talk on "Engineering with Instability: From Battling Beams and Kirigami Computing." ABSTRACT: Engineers design structures to predictably resolve forces and moments through a primary load path in which deformations are […]
Duke community invited. Come, see -- and play -- new twists on classic boardwalk and carnival games designed by seniors in Mechanical Engineering. Through hands-on application of all they have learned at the Pratt School of Engineering, these newest Duke Engineers have answered a design challenge for safe, fun games designed specifically for children aged […]
All members of the Pratt School of Engineering's faculty are invited to the Fall Meeting. Presenters will include Dean Jerry Lynch. Hosted by the Engineering Faculty Council. 11:30 am to 2:00 pm, Tuesday, October 8, in the Holsti-Anderson Family Assembly Room in Rubenstein Library. Find more at https://inside.pratt.duke.edu/EFC
We invite Pratt faculty & staff to join us for a Character Forward Workshop where we will learn about character education, reflect on the history of engineering ethics education, identify character traits we want to cultivate, and consider strategies for cultivating those traits inside and outside the engineering classroom.
Designer Nucleic Acid Architectures for Programmable Molecular Systems. My lab uses nature's design rules as inspiration to advance biomedical, energy-related, and other technological innovations through the use of self-assembling molecules and materials. We aim to create intelligent materials with better component controls at the atomic and molecular levels. Speciically, we are interested in designing bio-inspired […]
