Object Transport by Confined Active Fluids

Thursday, February 19, 2026 3:30pm to 4:20pm
Seamans Center

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

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

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...
