Title: Conformations of Polyampholytic Disordered Proteins: Does Nature Use Multicriticality Abstract: Recent advancements in understanding intracellular organization have been significantly attributed to the application of polymer physics methods. A notable example is the formation of membraneless organelles from intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which can be described as liquid-liquid phase separation in a polyampholyte (PA) solution.…
Title and Abstract details are forthcoming.
Title: Communicating Science to the Public (Workshop) Abstract: Gain hands-on practice in explaining your research without using jargon. You’ll learn how to craft an elevator pitch to help you get the attention of people outside your field — including potential supporters of your work.
Title: Shape-shifting mechanics for adaptive cities Abstract: Rapid urbanization is intertwined with urgent, climate change related threats to human well-being and environmental health. Meanwhile, much of our built environment relies on static structures, which require substantial energy input for cooling and other interventions -- resources often unavailable to much of the global population. Addressing these challenges requires sustainable designs,…
Electrical Noise in RuCl3 memristor.
Title: Adaptability Through Control in Robotic and Active Systems Abstract: One of the hallmarks of adaptive matter is the ability to sense and respond to the environment. How can we engineer soft matter systems to exhibit such behavior? In this talk, I will present our recent findings on systems driven by centimeter-scale actuators (electric motors)…
