Object Transport by Confined Active Fluids
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar
PRESENTATION: Active fluids, and more generally active matter, are out of equilibrium systems emblematic of biological materials, such as a cell interior or a developing multicellular organism. Chemical energy is locally converted into work that can guide their evolution through internal stresses in ways that lead to instabilities and generally rich phenomenology. Means to organize such systems to perform life-like tasks is particularly interesting...
Expecting Turbulence: Flow-informed Machine Learning for Prediction and Control
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar
PRESENTATION: Advances in data-driven and learning-based methodologies have enabled unprecedented autonomy in many engineered systems, but intelligent modeling and control of fluid flows have yet to be realized. Motivated by the enormous potential of intelligent interactions between engineered systems and fluid flows across many applications, my research seeks to bridge the gap between data-driven, computational, and experimental fluid mechanics...

Maker Breaks: Pop-up light-up greeting cards
Take a break and get creative with monthly, themed crafts. Each activity takes only 10 to 20 minutes. Stop by at any time during the 1.5-hour session and explore your creativity! No registration required for this drop-by event.
Express yourself with a unique card with light-up and pop-up elements. Make a card for a friend, sweetheart, or even yourself!
Design Challenges: Water Filtration
Grab your friends and dive into two exciting hands-on challenges! No need to prepare or plan ahead—all materials will be provided—and, yes, there will be pizza both nights. Show up ready to build, create, eat pizza, and have fun. Are you up for the challenge?
Think you can turn simple materials into a working water filter? It’s time to find out!
This event is sponsored by the Lichtenberger Engineering Library, KEEN, NEXUS, the Hanson Center for Communication, and the Water Environment Federation.
Library Workshop: Reading Scientific Articles
Learning to efficiently read and understand scientific literature can be a time-consuming process. In this workshop, improve your understanding of scientific literature in both your field and others. Presented by Laurie Neuerburg, sciences head engagement librarian at the Sciences Library.
This workshop will be presented virtually and in-person
Design Challenges: Shoe Design
Grab your friends and dive into two exciting hands-on challenges! No need to prepare or plan ahead — all materials will be provided — and, yes, there will be pizza both nights. Show up ready to build, create, eat pizza, and have fun. Are you up for the challenge?
Can you design a winter-ready shoe using everyday items? Bring your creativity and teamwork to make something impressive and useful!
