This talk will consist of parts: The first provides an overview of some interesting and challenging problems that have been studied over the past three decades by my research group. […]
VPG Laserone, a successor of IRE-Polus Ltd founded in 1991 by physicist Valentin P. Gapontsev, represents over three decades of scientific leadership in high-power fiber laser technology. The company has […]
Non-Hermitian wave dynamics challenge our conventional understanding of wave propagation, revealing transport behaviors inaccessible in Hermitian systems. In this seminar, I will present a few intriguing phenomena arising from these […]
The next frontier of materials innovation lies in designing systems that not only survive but thrive under harsh environments. From hypersonic vehicles and next-generation defense systems to lunar construction and […]
Electrospinning has emerged as one of the most versatile and impactful techniques for producing nanofibers in various applications, including healthcare, biotechnology, filtration, and advanced materials. This seminar offers a comprehensive […]
In this two-part talk, I will present an overview of my research over the past ten years in the academia and the industry. In the first part, I will talk […]
Multi-robot systems can significantly expand our ability to operate in complex and hazardous environments, from disaster response and environmental monitoring to national security. Achieving this requires robotic teams that are […]
In this seminar, I will first introduce an empirical four-parameter formula for lift and drag on an airfoil, which shows good fits to experimental data. I will then use this […]
Data-driven approaches have generated tremendous excitement in turbulence modeling, but enthusiasm has often outpaced scientific rigor. Many current AI/ML turbulence models lack physical interpretability, exhibit limited generalizability across flow regimes, […]
Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) is transforming the fabrication of high-performance thermoplastic composites by enabling precision layup of fiber tows with spatially controlled heating and compaction. Yet, the interplay of radiative […]
he constructive role of temporal disorder (random noise) in facilitating responses of nonlinear systems will be explored in this talk, through a combination of experimental and numerical investigations. In particular, […]
Innovative high-performance structural designs play a critical role in mitigating insecure events such as low-velocity and ballistic impacts. These events involve significant kinetic energies, requiring structures that are lightweight, safe, […]
