Adaptive Data-Driven Modeling of Complex Systems

Teer 203

In this talk, we present a multiscale adaptive data-driven framework to simulate the behavior of complex systems. Such complex systems typically display non-linear, non-local, micro-morphic features that have challenged continuum and discrete models for over a century. We use granular materials as canonical examples of complex systems to contextualize our proposed data-driven framework, highlighting its […]

Pratt Story Circles Mondays

As we move forward into the fall semester and onwards to winter we would like to highlight an engaging and community-building activity called Story Circles. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) developed Story Circles to equip participants with intercultural competency building skills, and proficiency in these skills will enable interactions across differences […]

Physics and Models for Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Teer 203

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are a fascinating class of materials that display soft and semi-soft elastic behavior as well as a less explored viscoelastic behavior. These materials are composed of liquid crystal molecules and polymerizing agents to form a solid that behaves as an elastomer but also like a liquid crystal. The interaction of these […]

Character Forward Workshop

We invite Pratt faculty & staff to join us for a Character Forward Workshop where we will learn about character education, reflect on the history of engineering ethics education, identify character traits we want to cultivate, and consider strategies for cultivating those traits inside and outside the engineering classroom.

FIP Seminar: Development and application of a calcium sensor for recording neuronal activity in freely-moving mice at cellular resolution

Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

Recording large-scale brain activity patterns at cellular resolution in freely-behaving mice using current recording approaches presents several challenges. First, linear microscopy methods lack the depth penetration and optical sectioning required for deep-tissue recording, while multiphoton microscopy allows for recording neuronal activity only from a single plane or few axially-shifted planes. In addition, cellular-resolution recording requires […]
