Controllable Microstructure Synthesis for Energetic Materials Using Generative Machine Learning

Thursday, March 26, 2026 3:30pm to 4:20pm
Seamans Center

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: The performance and sensitivity of polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs) are strongly influenced by their complex heterogeneous microstructures. Microstructural characteristics such as binder fraction, porosity, and particle morphology govern mesoscale processes including hotspot formation and shock propagation. However, systematic computational investigation of these effects is constrained by the limited availability of experimentally...

Integrating Fluid Dynamics With Virology: An Intra-airway Model for Inhaled Transmission of Pathogens

Thursday, April 2, 2026 3:30pm to 4:20pm
Seamans Center

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: While substantial research has focused on the spatial transmission of human respiratory ejecta, progress has been relatively limited in understanding how the physics of inhalation flow within an exposed subject's airway affects the local transport of pathogen-laden particulates, ultimately influencing infection onset. In the first part of this talk, Dr. Basu will present a pathogen-agnostic fluid dynamics model that explores...
