Birck Nanotechnology Seminar Series

In This Series

  1. Directional Scattering of Light by Silicon Nanoparticles and Nanostructures due to High-Order Multipoles Contribution

    Online Presentations | 31 Oct 2018 | Contributor(s): Pavel D. Terekhov

    Here we consider both the scattering properties of single dielectric nanoparticles and optical characteristics of 2D periodic arrays. We use the method of the multipole decomposition of electromagnetic fields scattered by dielectric nanostructures to investigate their electromagnetic...

  2. Progress in Vacuum Pressure Measurement

    Online Presentations | 07 Nov 2018 | Contributor(s): Martin Wuest

    For many years standard vacuum pressure measurement sensors consist of capacitance diaphragm gauges, Pirani heat transfer gauges as well as ionization gauges. Development has progressed from passive gauges with a detached controller to combination gauges with integrated electronics. Market...

  3. Spatially Resolved Electrochemical Imaging on Energy Materials

    Online Presentations | 12 Nov 2018 | Contributor(s): Akichika Kumatani

    In this talk, we will show recent progress of nanoscale electrochemical imaging on energy materials from battery electrodes to two-dimensional materials by SECCM.

  4. Uncertainty Quantification and Scientific Machine Learning for Complex Engineering Systems

    Online Presentations | 17 Aug 2020 | Contributor(s): Guang Lin

    In this talk, I will first present a review of the novel UQ techniques I developed to conduct stochastic simulations for very large-scale complex systems.

  5. Fusing Light With Heat: Polaritons for Nanoscale Thermal Transport & Sensing

    Online Presentations | 07 Oct 2021 | Contributor(s): Thomas Beechem

    Light exhibits a wave nature.  Phonons do too.  Within the infrared portion of the spectrum, these differing “waves” can interact to form hybrid energy carriers called polaritons.  Polaritons, in turn, provide fundamental advantages for optical functionality and...

  6. Rethinking the Nature and Nurture of Discovery Research

    Online Presentations | 25 Dec 2021 | Contributor(s): Venkatesh Narayanamurti

    Research powers innovation and technoscientific advance, but it is due for a rethink, one consistent with its deeply holistic nature, requiring deeply human nurturing.

  7. Organic-Perovskite Hybrid Quantum Wells, Heterostructure, and Optoelectronics

    Online Presentations | 17 Feb 2022 | Contributor(s): Letian Dou

    I will present a molecular approach to the synthesis of a new family of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite quantum wells incorporating widely tunable organic semiconducting building blocks.

  8. Engineer and Manufacture Off-the-Shelf CAR-Natural Killer Cells for Targeted

    Online Presentations | 07 Oct 2022 | Contributor(s): Xiaoping Bao

    Cancer is a major threat for humans worldwide, with over 18 million new cases and 9.6 million cancer-related deaths in 2018. Although most common cancer treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, unsatisfactory cure rates require new therapeutic approaches, particularly for...
