Our goal is to achieve ultra-low po wer communication (100 GHz)—performance that goes far beyond what today’s silicon systems can deliver.\n\n\nAt the core of our approach is a zig-zag photonic structure that shrinks device footprint by up to 1000× while pre serving signal quality. A key innovation is the introduction of unidirecti onal on-chip isolation and coupling\, which allows a Transverse Cavity Sur face Emitting Laser (TCSEL) to connect seamlessly with a modulator and wav eguide. This architecture achieves no noticeable insertion loss\, ensures high linearity\, and enables terabit-scale throughput.\n\n\nBut we are goi ng beyond device-level breakthroughs. Our work lays the foundation for a s calable III–V integration platform that can cut power consumption by over 90%\, extend device lifetimes to more than a billion cycles\, and support sub-millimeter integration for compact\, deployable systems. Importantly\, our strategy moves from lab to fab by using standard microlithography\, w hich boosts yield\, lowers cost\, and makes mass production practical.\n\n \nLink: Hamed Dalir : ECE FLORIDA\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, September 26\, 2025 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLAR 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250926T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250926T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250924T173501Z LOCATION:LAR 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar: Dr. Hamed Dalir URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2530/img-seminar-dr-hamed-dalir END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2514.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20250829T141018Z DESCRIPTION:Title: 'Systems and Circuit Techniques to reduce frequency drif ts in MEMS BAW Resonators' \n\n\nby Dr. Baibhab Chatterjee\n\n\nWe are exc ited to invite you to our next IMG seminar\, featuring a distinguished spe aker from the University of Florida's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.

They have been extensively exploited for a wide spectrum o f technological applications ranging from smart biomedical devices to aero space morphing structures. Unfortunately\, most of the currently available SMPs are thermoresponsive and they suffer from heat-demanding shape memor y programming and recovery processes. Additionally\, the intriguing nanosc opic shape memory effects\, which could significantly enhance the response speed and greatly expand the application scopes of SMPs\, are largely une xplored. In this presentation\, I will discuss unconventional nanoscopic s hape memory effects exhibited by a new series of multi-stimuli-responsive SMPs. When combined with a unique macroporous photonic crystal structure t emplated from self-assembled colloidal crystals\, these smart SMPs enable nontraditional “cold” programming and instantaneous shape recovery at ambi ent conditions triggered by multiple nontraditional stimuli\, such as stat ic pressure\, lateral shear stress\, a large variety of liquids and vapors \, ultrasonic waves\, and laser illumination. Additionally\, striking chro mogenic responses associated with a full all-room-temperature shape memory cycle could render a new and sensitive optical technology for investigati ng the intriguing nanoscopic deformation and recovery of SMPs. Moreover\, the stepwise recovery of collapsed macropores leads to easily perceived co lor changes that can be correlated with concentrations of various analytes in gas\, liquid\, and solid phases\, promising for developing novel chrom ogenic sensors. These smart polymers provide vast opportunities for a plet hora of applications ranging from reconfigurable nanooptical devices to ch romogenic pressure and chemical sensors to novel biometric and anti-counte rfeiting materials.\n\n\nInteractive Q&A Session Following the talks\, we will have a 20-minute Q&A session where attendees can engage directly with our speakers\, asking questions and seeking advice on research and career development.\n\n\nWhether you are a student\, faculty\, or professional i n the fields of engineering\, law\, or technology management\, this semina r promises valuable insights and networking opportunities.\n\n\nWe look fo rward to your participation in what promises to be an informative and insp iring session.\n\n\nBest Regards\, Trevor Free\, Interdisciplinary Microsy stems Group\n\n\nRSVP: Please RSVP on the IMG Wiki\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFr iday\, April 11\, 2025 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLAR234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250411T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250411T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250407T172233Z LOCATION:LAR234 SUMMARY:[IMG] Upcoming IMG Seminar : Exploring the Frontiers of Engineering with Dr. Peng Jiang URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2489/img-upcoming-img-seminar-e xploring-frontiers-engineering-dr-peng-jiang END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2488.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20250401T171914Z DESCRIPTION:Dear IMG Members and Guests\,\n\n\nWe are excited to invite you to our next IMG seminar\, featuring a distinguished speaker from the Univ ersity of Florida's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.

In contrast\, animal eyes have fast mecha nical movements that control how the scene is imaged in detail by the fove a\, where visual acuity is highest. The prevalence of active vision during biological imaging\, and the wide variety of it\, makes it very clear tha t this is an effective visual design strategy. In this talk\, I cover our recent work on creating *both* new camera designs and novel vision algorit hms to enable adaptive and selective active vision and imaging inside came ras and sensors.\n\n\nInteractive Q&A Session Following the talks\, we wil l have a 20-minute Q&A session where attendees can engage directly with ou r speakers\, asking questions and seeking advice on research and career de velopment.\n\n\nWhether you are a student\, faculty\, or professional in t he fields of engineering\, law\, or technology management\, this seminar p romises valuable insights and networking opportunities.\n\n\nWe look forwa rd to your participation in what promises to be an informative and inspiri ng session.\n\n\nBest Regards\, Trevor Free\, Interdisciplinary Microsyste ms Group\n\n\nRSVP: Please RSVP on the IMG Wiki\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFrida y\, April 4\, 2025 - 12:15pm to 1:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLAR234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250404T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250404T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250401T171940Z LOCATION:LAR234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar: Exploring the Frontiers of Engineering with Dr. Sanjee v Koppal URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2488/img-seminar-exploring-fron tiers-engineering-dr-sanjeev-koppal END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2486.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20250307T144617Z DESCRIPTION:This is a friendly announcement that 3/14 at noon will be our S eminar presentation from Dr. Dennis Kim & Ishir Mehta. \n\n\nIf you will n ot be able to attend in person\, please find the Zoom link below.

This is largely motivated by the wide bandgap of GaN\, which offers a unipolar limit of performance that is larger than that of silicon and silicon carbide. While lateral transistors have already been commerci ally adopted\, high power applications require vertical devices to control chip size. Recent improvements in native GaN substrate quality and epitax y have unlocked the potential of vertical GaN power devices\, but effectiv e strategies for selective area doping\, in particular p-type doping\, rem ain a major challenge.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn this talk\, two vertical devices tha t rely on selective area doping will be discussed. Firstly\, the use of ma gnesium (Mg) implantation and ultra-high pressure annealing (UHPA) will be explored for the development of GaN junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diode s. Effective crystal repair and carrier activation post implantation via U HPA\, which is a capless technique\, will be demonstrated. The impact of U HPA on the formation of rectifying contacts will then be investigated\, fo llowed by the key demonstration of a 900 V GaN JBS diode with state-of-the -art specific on resistance (RON\,sp). The second device that will be stud ied is the GaN superjunction (SJ) diode. Here\, lateral polar junctions (L PJs) are adopted. This approach exploits the natural doping asymmetry betw een the N-polar and Ga-polar crystal orientations to simultaneously grow N -polar GaN for the n-type pillars and Ga-polar GaN for the p-type pillars\ , which represents a uniquely different strategy compared to conventional semiconductor technologies. It will be shown that the N-polar GaN camel di ode can be used to tune the barrier height and reduce leakage. In this way \, the first charge-balanced GaN superjunction device will be demonstrated . All in all\, these innovations represent key experimental building block s for future high-power GaN power devices.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, N ovember 18\, 2022 - 11:45am to 12:45pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nECE Larsen - Room 234\, https://ufl.zoom.us/j/96427760491 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T124500 LAST-MODIFIED:20221114T164638Z LOCATION:ECE Larsen - Room 234\, https://ufl.zoom.us/j/96427760491 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar wtih Prof. Spyridon Pavlidis from NCSU URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2360/img-seminar-wtih-prof-spyr idon-pavlidis-ncsu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2359.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20221109T200104Z DESCRIPTION:For several decades implantable bioelectronic neural interfaces have provided significant health benefits for patients suffering from var ious neurological diseases\, deficits\, or injuries. As the channel counts have increased\, often so to do the therapeutic benefits of neuromodulati on-based therapy. However\, the lack of development of implantable connect or technology for high-channel-count implants is limiting their successful development and translation to clinical trials. Existing commercial impla nt connector technology is limited to low channel counts (8 ch/lead). The proposed research described aims to overcome this implant-connector limita tion by developing a new high-channel-density implantable connector techno logy that is scalable to high-channel-counts.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nThursda y\, November 10\, 2022 - 10:00am\n\nEvent location: \n\nZoom (Online) DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221110T100000 LAST-MODIFIED:20221110T021649Z LOCATION:Zoom (Online) SUMMARY:Ph.D. Defense: Next-Generation High-Channel-Density Implant-Connec tor Technology URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2359/phd-defense-next-generatio n-high-channel-density-implant-connector-technology END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2352.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20221019T164641Z DESCRIPTION:Speakers TBD\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, November 18\, 2022 - 11:45am to 12:45pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T124500 LAST-MODIFIED:20221019T164834Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2352/img-seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2351.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20221019T164600Z DESCRIPTION:Speakers TBD\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, October 28\, 2022 - 11:45am to 12:45pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221028T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221028T124500 LAST-MODIFIED:20221019T164823Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2351/img-seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2350.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20221019T164500Z DESCRIPTION:11:45am - 12:00pm\nLAR 234\nSidharth Sanadhya (IMG Student Seri es- Moghaddam Group)\nTopic TBA\n12:10pm - 12:15pm\nAdam Kriz (IMG Student Series- Moghaddam Group)\nMicrochannel Flow Boiling Characterization for Compact Energy Systems\n12:15pm - 12:30pm\nSai Amirrisetti (IMG Student Se ries- Arnold Group)\nFabrication of thick\, laminated\, electro-infiltrate d magnetic nanocomposites to reduce dimensional resonance effects\n12:30pm - 12:45pm\nSuhas Tamvada (IMG Student Series- Moghaddam Group)\nEnabling Next Generation Computing - A Thermal Perspective\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFri day\, October 21\, 2022 - 11:45am to 12:45pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221021T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221021T124500 LAST-MODIFIED:20221019T164802Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2350/img-seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2349.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20221017T150742Z DESCRIPTION:Carlos will defend his Ph.D. dissertation titled 'Miniaturized Platforms for on-site Pathogen Detection using Paper-Based Nucleic Acid Ex traction and Isothermal Amplification' this Tuesday (10/18/2022) at 1 PM. \n\n\nPlease join us on zoom to support Carlos at his dissertation defense .\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, October 18\, 2022\n\n\nTime: 1:00 PM\n\n\nZoom Link : https://ufl.zoom.us/j/97870851544?pwd=WXVoL1RURU1aS3JnaTlmeC8yVHhmdz09  \n\n\nZoom Meeting ID: 978 7085 1544\n\n\nZoom Passcode: 937077\n\n\n \n\n \nEvent date: \n\nTuesday\, October 18\, 2022 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nZoom (link below) DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221018T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221018T140000 LAST-MODIFIED:20221017T150810Z LOCATION:Zoom (link below) SUMMARY:Dissertation Defense - Carlos Manzanas URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2349/dissertation-defense-carlo s-manzanas END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2346.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20220912T205524Z DESCRIPTION:This semester’s inaugural IMG seminar will be this Friday (9/16 )  at 11:45 AM.

12:25 pm: Dr. J ennifer Andrew: Nanomaterials for Electronic and Medical Applications: An Overview of the Andrew Research Group\n\n\n12:25 pm - 12:50 pm: Dr. Ann Ra mirez: Machine Learning-based Prediction for Dynamic\, Runtime Architectur al Optimizations of Embedded Systems\n\n\n \n\n\nNanomaterials for Electro nic and Medical Applications: An Overview of the Andrew Research Group: \n \n\nNanostructured materials and nanocomposites have the potential to over come challenges in many areas of materials research\, which cannot be addr essed by more conventional single-phase materials. Additionally\, the real ization of certain properties at the nanoscale can also unlock new applica tion spaces. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of the various rese arch projects in my group\, including the use of magnetoelectric materials as low-power magnetic field sensors\, as well as their potential for neur al tissue engineering. Results will also be presented on the use of electr ophoretic deposition for the fabrication of thick films of nanoparticles. \n\n\n \n\n\nMachine Learning-based Prediction for Dynamic\, Runtime Archi tectural Optimizations of Embedded Systems:\n\n\nEmbedded systems have bee n becoming increasingly complex over recent years\, with performance becom ing comparable to desktop computing systems. However\, embedded systems ne ed to adhere to greater design constraints (e.g.\, area and energy constra ints) compared to desktop computing systems. Architectural specialization is a technique that can aid in meeting the stringent design constraints by introducing configurable hardware that can be tuned at runtime to optimiz e a goal (e.g.\, minimum energy\, minimum execution time) for an applicati on. However\, traditional approaches (i.e.\, exhaustive\, heuristic search es) often take considerable time to search a large design composed of diff erent configurable parameters (e.g.\, cache size\, associativity\, etc.) a nd parameter values (e.g.\, 4 kB\, 2-way\, etc.). In addition\, the presen ce of application phases (i.e.\, repeating execution behavior) allow for f iner-grained tuning at the cost of even greater exploration overhead. In t his paper\, we apply machine learning to reduce/eliminate the design space exploration overhead associated with finding the best set of configurable parameters for configurable L1 instruction and data caches. Our predictio n methodology consists of artificial neural networks (ANNs) which take the execution statistics of an application phase as input and outputs a best  cache configuration (i.e.\, combination of configurable parameter values) for the instruction and data caches). Our results show that we can achieve an average energy degradation of less than 5% for the instruction and dat a caches with an average of 20% phase misclassification percentage and 20% less cache switches than the case where the best cache configuration is c hosen for every application phase.\n\n\n \n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, Oc tober 23\, 2020 - 11:45am to 1:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nZoom DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201023T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201023T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20201022T164410Z LOCATION:Zoom SUMMARY:IMG Seminar Series 10/23/2020 URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2152/img-seminar-series-1023202 0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2150.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20201011T225415Z DESCRIPTION:Timpthy Clingenpeel will defend his dissertation entitled 'Nano -Layered Nonmagnetic/Ferromagnetic Metaconductors for Energy Efficient Rad io Frequency Passives' at 8:00 am on October 15th.\n\n\nZoom info: https:/ /ufl.zoom.us/j/3523925985\n\n\nMeeting ID: 352 392 5985\n\n\nOne tap mobil e\n\n\n+13017158592\,\,3523925985# US (Germantown)\n\n\n+13126266799\,\,35 23925985# US (Chicago)\n\n\nDial by your location\n\n\n        +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n\n\n        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n\n\n        +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n\n\n        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n \n\n        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n\n\n        +1 669 900 6833 US ( San Jose)\n\n\n \n\n\nEvent date: \n\nThursday\, October 15\, 2020 - 8:00a m to 10:00am\n\nEvent location: \n\nZoom DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201015T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201015T100000 LAST-MODIFIED:20201011T225506Z LOCATION:Zoom SUMMARY:Timothy Clingenpeel's Dissertation Defense URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2150/timothy-clingenpeels-disse rtation-defense END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2142.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20200806T031233Z DESCRIPTION:Liang Zhou will defend his dissertation entitled 'Electrotherma l MEMS Scanning Mirrors and Lenses with Large Range and High Robustness fo r Two-Photon Microscopy' at 03:00 pm on Wednesday\, August 12th.\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://ufl.zoom.us/j/7380294173?pwd=ZmlyUUlPUmtQalkrYmcybnla dGtDQT09\n\n\nMeeting ID: 738 029 4173\nPasscode: 434254\n\n\nEvent date:  \n\nWednesday\, August 12\, 2020 - 3:00pm to 5:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n \nZoom DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200812T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200812T170000 LAST-MODIFIED:20200806T031342Z LOCATION:Zoom SUMMARY:Dissertation Defense - Liang Zhou URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2142/dissertation-defense-liang -zhou END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2109.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20200527T180008Z DESCRIPTION:Haocheng Zhou will defend his dissertation titled 'A MEMS-based Five-Hole Probe with Optical Pressure Transducers' on Monday\, June 1st\, at 10:30 AM. \n\n\nThe presentation will be held online through Zoom.

To establish direct relat ionships between unique materials properties and structural characteristic s\, development of analytical tools and techniques with high sensitivity a nd spatial resolution\, down to single-atom precision and picometer-scale detection accuracy\, is key to success in the discovery of new functionali ties and development of relevant devices. Advances in scanning transmissio n electron microscopy (STEM)\, e.g. aberration correction of probe forming lens\, have brought about significant enhancements of image resolution an d signal-to-noise ratio\, allowing for imaging of a single atomic column i n a crystal. However\, precise quantification of the structure and chemica l information from STEM images is often hampered by scan distortion and in stabilities of the electron beam and sample position. Novel approaches tha t acquire and analyze STEM data are thus a necessity to overcome the curre nt limitations and provide access to previously unattainable materials inf ormation. In this seminar\, I will discuss recent advances in novel quanti tative STEM (QSTEM) imaging and analysis techniques and demonstrate how th ese advances have enabled the direct observation of cation vacancies in\n \n\nSrTiO3 films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The second part of this seminar focuses on the use of QSTEM techniques to elucidate the latt ice response to dopants in Sr-doped SmTiO3 films and demonstrate a second- order phase transition with no observable phase separation across a fillin g-controlled Mott metal-insulator transition. The results from these two c ase studies open up a new methodology for studying the microscopic mechani sms by which atomic-level structural and chemical modulations control mate rials properties\n\n\n \n\n\nBiography:\n\n\nDr. Honggyu Kim is an assista nt professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Florida. He received his Ph.D. in the Department of Materia ls Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champai gn. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Florida in Fall 2019 \, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California\, Sant a Barbara. His primary research focuses on the development and application of advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques with the goal of establishing direct relationships between the structure and properties of materials on the atomic scale. His recent research topics include quantita tive imaging of epitaxial thin films\, atomic-scale defect characterizatio n in functional oxides\, symmetry determination of topological materials\, and digital image processing techniques.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, Fe bruary 14\, 2020 - 11:30am to 1:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLAR 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200214T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200214T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20200211T181504Z LOCATION:LAR 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar Series 02/14/2020 URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2067/img-seminar-series-0214202 0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2066.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20200206T214750Z DESCRIPTION:Haoran Wang will defend his proposal\, entitled: 'Development o f\npiezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs) for endoscop ic photoacoustic imaging applications'\, on Friday\, Feb. 7th\, at 11:00 a m in LAR 229.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, February 7\, 2020 - 11:00am to 12:15pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen Hall 229 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200207T121500 LAST-MODIFIED:20200206T214821Z LOCATION:Larsen Hall 229 SUMMARY:Proposal Defense: Haoran Wang URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2066/proposal-defense-haoran-wa ng END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2065.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20200130T205913Z DESCRIPTION:This week's speaker is Brendan M. John (PhD student at Dr. Eakt a Jain's lab) talking about:\n\n\n \n\n\nTitle: The Security-Utility Trade -off for Iris Authentication and Eye Animation for Social Virtual Avatars \n\n\n \n\n\nDescription: The gaze behavior of virtual avatars is critical to social presence and perceived eye contact during social interactions i n Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality headsets are being designed with integr ated eye tracking to enable compelling virtual social interactions. This p aper shows that the near infra-red cameras used in eye tracking capture ey e images that contain iris patterns of the user. Because iris patterns are a gold standard biometric\, the current technology places the user's biom etric identity at risk. Our first contribution is an optical defocus based hardware solution to remove the iris biometric from the stream of eye tra cking images. We characterize the performance of this solution with differ ent internal parameters. Our second contribution is a psychophysical exper iment with a same-different task that investigates the sensitivity of user s to a virtual avatar's eye movements when this solution is applied. By de riving detection threshold values\, our findings provide a range of defocu s parameters where the change in eye movements would go unnoticed in a con versational setting. Our third contribution is a perceptual study to deter mine the impact of defocus parameters on the perceived eye contact\, atten tiveness\, naturalness\, and truthfulness of the avatar. Thus\, if a user wishes to protect their iris biometric\, our approach provides a solution that balances biometric protection while preventing their conversation par tner from perceiving a difference in the user's virtual avatar. This work is the first to develop secure eye tracking configurations for VR/AR/XR ap plications and motivates future work in the area.\n\n\n \n\n\nEvent date:  \n\nFriday\, January 31\, 2020 - 11:45am to 1:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\n LAR 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200131T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200131T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20200130T205913Z LOCATION:LAR 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar Series 01/31/2020 URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2065/img-seminar-series-0131202 0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2064.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20200116T182829Z DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nThe schedule for this week's seminar is:\n\n\n11.45 - Dr . Sanjeev Koppal:\n\n\nTitle: Fast Foveation for LIDARs\, Projectors and C ameras\n\n\nAbstract: Most cameras today capture images without considerin g scene content. In contrast\, animal eyes have fast mechanical movements that control how the scene is imaged in detail by the fovea\, where visual acuity is highest. This concentrates computational (i.e. neuronal) resour ces in places where they are most needed. The prevalence of foveation\, an d the wide variety of it\, makes it very clear that this is an effective v isual design strategy. If robotic drones had this kind of low power vision \, we could imagine massive impact on a variety of fields. Allowing these small devices to reliably sense their surroundings has the potential for a major transformation in computer vision. In this talk\, I cover our recen t work on creating cameras and algorithms that enable fast\, selective ima ging. The key challenge is that these algorithms require novel camera desi gns with fast and low-power control of the physical properties that influe nce image formation. I will discuss examples of such cameras\, LIDARs and projectors that utilize newly available\, next generation micro-mechanical optics.\n\n\n \n\n\n12.20 - Dr. Warren Dixon:\n\n\nThe Nonlinear Controls and Robotics group at the University of Florida\, is focused on the desig n and analysis of controllers for nonlinear dynamical systems. The philoso phy of the group is that improved performance and new enabling technologie s may be realized by maintaining the complete nonlinear model of the syste ms in their control design. This approach gives rise to significant challe nges since nonlinear equations of motion typically do not have an analytic al solution\, and the system model may be incomplete due to difficulties i n modeling certain phenomena. This talk will provide an overview of the de sign and analysis process required to address modern challenges for applic ations such as: assured autonomy\, rehabilitation engineering\, and networ ked robotic systems.\n\n\n \n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, January 17\, 202 0 - 11:30am to 1:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLAR 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200117T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200117T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20200116T182915Z LOCATION:LAR 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar Series 01/17/2020 URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2064/img-seminar-series-0117202 0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2045.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20191203T203659Z DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nThe speaker for this week's seminar is:\n\n\n11:55am - 1 2:45pm: Dr. Yong Huang (Invited speaker - UF)​: Additive Manufacturing and its Applications to Three-Dimensional Bioprinting​\n\n\nAdditive manufact uring\, commonly known as “three-dimensional (3D) printing\,” is a suite o f computer automated technologies to fabricate 3D structural and functiona l parts\, usually layer by layer\, from 3D model data. Currently\, the tec hnology has been applied in various industries including automotive\, aero space\, biomedical\, energy\, consumer goods and many others. Of these app lications\, 3D bioprinting is a revolutionary advance for printing arbitra ry cell patterns as well as creating heterogeneous living constructs. Most importantly\, cell printing provides a promising solution to the problem of organ donor shortages by printing 3D tissue/organ constructs for implan tation\, resulting in what is known as organ printing.\n\n\nThe talk first reviews the definition and classification of additive manufacturing and t he perspective of ongoing bioprinting research. Then it introduces process innovations in 3D bioprinting using continuous extrusion\, drop-on-demand inkjetting\, and drop-on-demand laser-induced forward transfer technologi es\, which are being studied at the University of Florida.

Bahar Basim (Invited speaker - UF): A Review on Controlling Nano-​ Scale Chemically Modified Thin ​Films for Microelectronics ​Processes ​Dev elopment​\n\n\nAs the microelectronics manufacturing faces the challenges related to Beyond Moore’s scale adaptation\, process development has becom e more challenging. Particularly\, for the Chemical Mechanical Planarizati on (CMP) process\, the need for planarizing larger scale wafers at an atom ic scale precision with superior removal rate selectivity and zero-defect focus demands a nano-scale control on the process performance. This talk r eviews the atomic-scale chemical and mechanical interactions as it applies to traditional as well as the next generation materials in microelectroni cs manufacturing.\n\n\nIn an attempt to come up with the design criteria f or the slurry chemistry\, chemically modified layer formation is evaluated on conducting\, semiconducting\, and insulating materialsas a function of evaluating the nano-scale surface topography and change in surface energy . Metallic films are studied in terms of their corrosion and passivation b ehavior through macro-scale electrochemical evaluations as well as surface -sensitive characterization techniques such as XRR\, XRD\, and FTIR. A mod eling approach is introduced through Cahn Hilliard Equation (CHE) approxim ation to the surface energy minimization on the metal-oxide formation by n ucleation. Furthermore\, the removal rate selectivity properties of the se miconductor materials are discussed on conventional and III-V semiconducto rs and insulators as a function of chemically modified film alteration. So me high-end applications such as (i) tungsten T-gate transistors\, (ii) ne w liner/barriermaterials\, (iii) germanium based high-speed\, shallow tren ch isolation transistors and (iv) high-power transistors and LED applicati ons where III/V semiconductors are deliberated. As a new challenge\, 3-D i mplementations of the CMP process\, where the chemically modified nano-fil ms impact the performance of the material\, are also introduced. The ongoi ng research focuses on the packaging level of thin film growth and interfa ce control\, implantable microelectronics\, and controlling biological int erfaces.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, November 22\, 2019 - 11:30am to 12: 45pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLAR 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191122T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191122T124500 LAST-MODIFIED:20191120T170450Z LOCATION:LAR 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar Series 11/22/2019 URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2039/img-seminar-series-1122201 9 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2033.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20191113T233131Z DESCRIPTION:Mayur Ghatge will defend his Ph.D. dissertation entitled 'Linea r and Non-Linear Micro-Acoustic Waveguides for Frequency Control Applicati ons' at 9:45 am on Wednesday\, November 20 in LAR 234. \n\n\nEvent date:  \n\nWednesday\, November 20\, 2019 - 9:45am\n\nEvent location: \n\nLAR234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191120T094500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191120T094500 LAST-MODIFIED:20191114T010827Z LOCATION:LAR234 SUMMARY:Ph.D. Dissertation Defense - Mayur Ghatge URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2033/phd-dissertation-defense-m ayur-ghatge END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2031.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20191029T210126Z DESCRIPTION:Dingkang will defend his proposal\, entitled: 'Quasi-static Sca nning and Monolithic Forward Scanning Electrothermal MEMS Mirrors for LiDA R on MAVs'\, on Wednesday\, Oct. 30th\, at 10:00am in NEB 589.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nWednesday\, October 30\, 2019 - 10:00am to 11:30am\n\nEvent loca tion: \n\nNEB 589 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191030T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191030T113000 LAST-MODIFIED:20191029T210715Z LOCATION:NEB 589 SUMMARY:Proposal Defense: Dingkang Wang URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/2031/proposal-defense-dingkang- wang END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.2027.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20191017T160007Z DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fan’s group will have an open house this Friday 10/18 (tomo rrow) at 11:00 AM in the Microfluidics lab (Benton 237E).

In addition\, fine PM reduces visibility in parts of the United State and impacts on cl imate by scattering sunlight and acting as cloud condensation nuclei that modulate cloud formation and precipitation. In this seminar\, an overview of recent laboratory and modelling studies for the formation of atmospheri c organic aerosol (OA) is presented. Current air quality models (AQMs) imp lemented in US were originally developed to predict ozone at extreme pollu tion episodes in urban areas. Because chemical mechanisms did not initiall y consider secondary organic aerosol (SOA)\, an important component of PM2 .5\, or hazardous air pollutants\, AQMs use highly empirical SOA parameter izations that have been added on top of gas-phase mechanisms by using semi volatile surrogate species for which the reactions and chemical identities are disconnected from those of gas mechanisms as well as inorganic aeroso l species. The chamber facility\, among four worldwide\, is used to simula te atmospheric photochemical aging of volatile hydrocarbons and combustion smoke\, SOA formation\, aerosol climate forcing and PM adverse health eff ects. The chamber studies of the UF research team improve the prediction o f aerosol formation by characterizing air pollutants and discovering atmos pheric processes of air pollutants under varying environments. Based on ou r chamber studies and modeling of organic aerosol formation\, the followin g topics are addressed: 1) major hydrocarbons to form SOA in urbane atmosp heres\; 2) aerosol chemistry of organic species in inorganic aerosol (i.e. \, sulfate aerosol\, seal spray aerosol\, and mineral dust particles)\; 3) health effects\; 4) the development of a new aerosol module that couples explicit gas mechanisms with emerging aerosol chemistry. Lab data related to gas mechanisms\, characterization\, and SOA production are lacking for hydrocarbons associated with human activities (paintings\, printing inks\, adhesives\, cleaning reagents\, and personal care products). In future\, the model should expand SOA prediction to various hydrocarbons emerging as an important petrochemical source of urban organic emissions and heteroge neous chemistry of various organic species in the presence of different in organic aerosol. Additionally\, AQMs need to span a wide range of concentr ations\, hydrocarbons-to-NOx ratios\, and temperatures to cover urban\, ru ral\, and remote environments for warm and cold seasons.\n\n\n2) Abstract:  The current focus of Tang’s Integrative Mechanobiology Laboratory is on b iomechanics\, unconventional mechano-electrophysiology\, and in vivo/vitro functional imaging.

The characterization of single cells within heterogeneous populations has great impact on both biomedical sciences and cancer research. By investig ating cellular compositions on a broad scale\, pertinent outliers may be l ost in the sample set. Alternatively\, an investigation focused on the beh avior of specific cells\, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs)\, will re veal genetic biomarkers or phenotypic characteristics associated with canc er and metastasis. On average\, CTC concentration in peripheral blood is e xtremely low\, as few as one to two per billion of healthy blood cells. Co nsequently\, the critical element lacking in many methods of CTC detection is accurate cell capture efficiency at low concentrations. To simulate CT C isolation\, researchers usually spike small amounts of tumor cells to he althy blood for separation. However\, spiking tumor cells at extremely low concentrations is challenging in a standard laboratory setting.

However\, obtaining accurate training label infor mation is often time consuming and expensive\, making it infeasible for la rge data sets\, or may simply be impossible to provide given the physics o f the problem. Furthermore\, human annotators may be inconsistent when lab eling a data set\, providing inherently imprecise label information.\n\n\n In the case of problems with imprecise label information\, Multiple Instan ce Learning (MIL) methods are required. The Multiple Instance Adaptive Cos ine Estimator (MI-ACE) approach is one of the few MIL methods that can est imate a representative target concept.

Weighing as little as 0.1 gram per square meter\, they are among the thinnest and lightest free-standing solids that can be handled with bare hands. Like the nanotruss mechanical metamaterials repo rted by other groups\, plate mechanical metamaterials are extremely lightw eight and resilient due to their nanoscale thickness and microscale cellul ar structure. Ultralow weight\, mechanical robustness\, thermal insulation \, as well as chemical and thermal stability of alumina make plate metamat erials attractive for numerous applications\, including microflyers\, high -temperature heat-to-electricity energy converters\, as well as and hollow MEMS/NEMS resonators.\n\n\nRead more\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, Novemb er 3\, 2017 - 11:45am to 12:45pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20171103T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20171103T124500 LAST-MODIFIED:20171214T194127Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar: Plate Mechanical Metamaterials- The Thinnest Plates yo u can Pick Up by Hand URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/1725/img-seminar-plate-mechanic al-metamaterials-thinnest-plates-you-can-pick-hand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.1635.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20170822T113608Z DESCRIPTION:Todd Schumann will defend his proposal\, entitled: 'RF and opti cal applications of perovskite ferroelectric materials' on Wednesday\, 8/2 3\, at 12:00 PM (noon) in Larsen 234. A lunch of sandwiches\, salad\, chip s\, and cookies will be provided.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nWednesday\, August 23\, 2017 - 12:00pm to 2:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 234 (LAR234) DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170823T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170823T140000 LAST-MODIFIED:20171129T211411Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 (LAR234) SUMMARY:Proposal Defense: Todd Schumann URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/1635/proposal-defense-todd-schu mann END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.435.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20170803T140344Z DESCRIPTION:Welcome back from a great summer IMG members!\n\n\nAs the Fall semester moves closer\, we will be having our IMG Kickoff Meeting on Augus t 18\, 2017 from 11:45AM to 1:30PM.

He is an ECE & MSE assistant professor at the University of Central Florida (UCF) with joint appointments at the NanoSc ience Technology Center and at BRIDG.\n\n\n\n Abstract:\n\n\n\n Cellular fun ction and response has been a significant subject of human fascination sin ce time immemorial and a major field of study that has improved the unders tanding of the mechanics of the human body. Specifically\, the functioning of electrogenic or electrically active cells is of particular interest in this talk as these cells control several important physiological function s such as visualization\, locomotion\, and activities of key organs such a s the brain\, heart\, eyes\, ears\, and spinal cord.\n\n\n\n Micro/NanoElec trode Arrays serve as the primary interface for signal transduction with e lectrogenic cells and in conjunction with CMOS electronics\, mechanics and software techniques are enabling instrumentation that will result in acti vely and passively manipulating a variety of electrogenic cells. Such mani pulation of electrogenic cells can happen either in a dish\, or on a weara ble or in an implantable setting. These efforts to engage with electricall y active cells are resulting in and will result in major advances in human health in areas such as drug discovery\, diagnostics\, therapeutics\, pro sthetics\, environmental sensing and implantable devices in the upcoming d ecades.\n\n\n\n Read more \n\n\nEvent date: \n\nThursday\, April 13\, 2017 - 5:00pm to 6:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170413T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170413T180000 LAST-MODIFIED:20170411T182122Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:Seminar: Development of Micro/NanoElectrode Arrays and their role i n Advancing Human Health URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/428/seminar-development-microna noelectrode-arrays-and-their-role-advancing-human-health END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.427.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20170322T195638Z DESCRIPTION:Ashley Jones will defend her dissertation\, entitled: 'Unsteady Circulation Control for High-Performance Low-Noise Aircraft' on Friday\, 3/31\, at 9:30 AM in Larsen 234. Refreshments will be provided.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, March 31\, 2017 - 1:30pm to 2:30pm\n\nEvent location:  \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170331T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170331T143000 LAST-MODIFIED:20170330T182328Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:Dissertation Defense: Ashley Jones URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/427/dissertation-defense-ashley -jones END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.425.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20170321T173505Z DESCRIPTION:Sheng-Po Fang will defend his dissertation entitled 'Functional ized Electrospun Nanofibers and Their Biomedical Applications' at 2:00 pm on Monday\, March 27 in LAR 234.

Presently\, these systems are used fo r measuring mechanical thermal noise displacement or mechanical motion act uated by optical forces. Meanwhile\, electrostrictive and piezoelectric ac tuation and detection are the main transduction schemes used in RF MEMS re sonators.\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce a method for actuating an o pto-mechanical resonator using MEMS transducers and sensing of mechanical motion by using the optical intensity modulation at the output of an opto- mechanical resonator. I will discuss classical applications enabled by thi s hybrid platform such as multi-GHz Acousto-Optic Modulators (AOM) and Opt o-Acoustic Oscillators.  I will conclude my talk by providing a glimpse of how we are leveraging our mastery of micromachining and MEMS to achieve c oherent transduction between spin-defects\, phonons and photons.\n\n\nBiog raphy:\n\n\nSunil received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Berkeley in EEC S in 1998 and 2004 respectively.

The MIST Center is motivated by three major resea rch/industry trends: (1) stepping beyond the current challenge of continue d conventional scaling of integrated circuits\, a.k.a. Moore's Law\, (2) e xploring new functionalities at intersections of materials/ processes/ dev ices /circuits for multi-functional systems\, and (3) integrating nanoscal e materials into micro/nanosystem manufacturing.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n While sign ificant advances have been made in the engineering of novel materials at t he nano-scale\, they must be properly interfaced to larger length scales t o fully realize their commercial potential. The MIST Center vision is Inno vating More than Moore technologies for smart systems in the Internet of T hings era by translating novel materials\, devices\, and manufacturing pro cesses into multi-functional integrated systems. Multi-functional integrat ed systems are typified by the synergistic integration of different materi als\, length scales\, input/output energies\, devices\, transduction mecha nisms\, and power sources. The MIST Center seeks to catalyze innovation op portunities at the intersections of multiple emerging technologies by fuel ing research interactions between our academic\, industry\, and government stakeholders\, thus providing unparalleled value to its members. The MIST Center consists of a unique cluster of 30+ cross-disciplinary experts at the two founding universities\, UF in Gainesville and UCF in Orlando\, loc ated just 115 miles apart in the 3rd most populous state in the nation. Sp anning six different academic departments\, MIST faculty combine their com plementary expertise in materials science\, electronics\, magnetics\, acou stics\, photonics\, microfluidic devices\, MEMS\, and circuits to tackle c omplex research challenges that are critical to the development of multi-f unctional integrated systems. Through industry-driven collaborative resear ch with its member companies\, interdisciplinary mixing is promoted at the MIST Center for pre-competitive research on enabling technologies for int egration of computing\, sensing\, actuation\, and energy storage/generatio n on the same system on a chip (SoC) or system in package (SiP).\n\n\nEven t date: \n\nFriday\, September 18\, 2015 - 3:30pm\n\nEvent location: \n\n 234 Larsen DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20150918T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20150918T153000 LAST-MODIFIED:20150916T190515Z LOCATION:234 Larsen SUMMARY:IMG Seminar Series: MIST Center - Innovating More than Moore Techno logies for Smart Systems in the IoT Era URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/386/img-seminar-series-mist-cen ter-innovating-more-moore-technologies-smart-systems-iot-era END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.383.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20150916T181730Z DESCRIPTION:Patrick Lomenzo will present on ferroelectricity in HfO2-based thin films:\n\n\n\n Ferroelectricity in HfO2-based thin films offers an int riguing pathway toward the realization of ferroelectric devices for next g eneration memory technologies.

Fedder from Carnegie Mellon University will be pr esenting an ECE seminar title 'Nonlinearities in Resonant Microsensors' at 1:00 PM on Thursday\, October 24 in Larsen 234.  All are encouraged to at tend.\n\n\n \n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\nNonlinearities exist in all microresonato rs to some extent. In most cases\, designers deem nonlinearities undesirab le and to be actively avoided. However there are cases where deliberately engineering nonlinearities into microresonators is advantageous. With this motivation\, my group is exploring two applications – gyroscopes and grav imetric sensors – where nonlinearities play very different roles.\n\n\nMod e-symmetric resonant gyroscopes are of interest in part due to their abili ty to run in 'forward' or 'reverse' coupling directions with the potential to cancel some sources of bias drift. This class of designs also has rela tively high rotational-rate sensitivity for low drive voltages. Operating gyroscopes with quality factors over 10\,000 is a challenge as even small cubic 'Duffing' nonlinearities in stiffness cause relatively large distort ion of the resonance characteristic along with hysteretic bifurcations as a function of drive frequency. Unlike parallel-plate capacitors\, nonlinea r capacitive comb-drives can tune the modal frequencies while allowing for large deflection. More sophisticated comb shaping can tune the Duffing no nlinearity and may lead to its cancellation.\n\n\nParametric resonance in microresonators can occur when an electrostatic spring is driven sinusoida lly at electrical frequencies near twice the mechanical resonance. The par ametric behavior is fed initially by noise and is ultimately limited in am plitude by stiffness nonlinearities in the system. Nonlinear parametric re sonance gives rise to multi-valued ac steady-state solutions ('branches') as functions of drive frequency. The bifurcation from the zero to a non-ze ro branch occurs at a precise frequency that is a function of the mass and spring constants of the system and is exploitable for sensing. However\, classical continuous control and frequency control techniques for monitori ng the bifurcation point are ineffective due to the nature of the nonlinea r dynamics. Our group recently implemented a bi-state amplitude control sc heme that provides stable servo operation on the bifurcation transition wi th large displacement amplitude. This method enables automated detection o f the bifurcation frequency for future parametric resonant sensors.\n\n\nB io:\n\n\nGary K. Fedder is the Associate Dean for Research in the college of engineering\, the Director of the Institute for Complex Engineered Syst ems\, and the Howard M. Wilkoff Professor of Electrical and Computer Engin eering and of The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.  He ea rned his B.S. and M.S. from MIT and his Ph.D. from U.C.

First commercial applications of self-assembly have appeared in rece nt years\, for example in the fabrication of radio frequency identificatio n tags. However\, the full impact of this new approach towards hetero syst em integration will only be realized once self-assembly can be programmed on demand. This presentation gives an overview of several projects that ai m at programmable self-assembly. A key concept is the “programmable surfac e” – an interface whose properties can be controlled with high spatial and temporal resolution. Several crucial topics are discussed: real time cont rol of interfacial properties\; optimization of binding site designs\; and algorithms for the modeling and control of self-assembly. Promising novel manufacturing methods are emerging that combine the precision and reprodu cibility of semiconductor fabrication with the scalability and parallelism of stochastic self-assembly and with the specificity and programmability of biochemical processes.\n\n\n\nBiography\nKarl Böhringer is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Bioengineering at the University of Washington \, Seattle. He received both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Scienc e from Cornell University and his Diplom-Informatiker degree from the Univ ersity of Karlsruhe\, Germany. He was a visiting scholar at the Stanford R obotics Lab and Transducer Lab and a postdoctoral researcher at the Univer sity of California\, Berkeley\, before joining the faculty at the Universi ty\nof Washington.\n\n\nHis current interests include micromanipulation an d microassembly\, as well as biomedical implants and bioMEMS for single-ce ll genomics and proteomics. He received an NSF postdoctoral associateship in 1997\, an NSF CAREER award in 1999\, and was an NSF New Century Scholar in 2000. His work was featured among the Top 100 Science Stories in Disco ver Magazine's 2002 'Year in Science'.

At the University of Flori da the Interdisciplinary Microsystems Group (IMG) has teamed with FCAAP to develop the next generation of instrumentation grade sensors for aerospac e applications. Specifically\, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) techn ology is being used to develop sensor systems for reliable direct time-res olved shear stress measurement and fill this instrumentation void. IMG has developed a robust miniaturized package for integration into flow control studies currently being conducted at both the Advanced Aero-Propulsion La boratory at Florida State University and at IMG wind tunnel facilities at the University of Florida. The specific sensor system being utilized in th ese studies is capable of measuring shear stress values as low as 1mPa wit h a sensitivity of 1.7mV/V/Pa and at least 80dB rejection to cross sensiti vities.

For this applications\, a high gain circular polarizatio n antenna with metamaterial slabs has been proposed. Metamaterial slabs ha ving periodic circular lattices have been used to focus beam while fan-sha ped patches are added on the slabs to generate circular polarization. The proposed antenna has shown a good axial ratio at the resonant frequency ba nd. It also has shown a simulated gain improvement and transmission gain i mprovement. In addition\, the left/right handed polarization is simply con trolled by turning over metamaterial slabs.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nWednesday \, September 22\, 2010 - 8:00pm to 8:30pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 23 4 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20100922T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20100922T203000 LAST-MODIFIED:20101027T030233Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar: A High Gain Circular Polarization Antenna using Metama terial Slabs URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/267/img-seminar-high-gain-circu lar-polarization-antenna-using-metamaterial-slabs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.265.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20100913T142700Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: PitFee Jao\n\n\n\n The direction of cell growth is asso ciated with chemical\, structural and/or mechanical properties of the subs trate. Structurally\, electrospun nanofibers provide a suitable environmen t for cell attachment and proliferation due to their similar physical dime nsion to that of the extracellular matrix. Furthermore\, by modulating the topographical features of nanofibers\, which include fiber diameter and o rientation\, cell growth and its related functions can be modified. Here\, we demonstrate a solid gradient scaffold for directional growth of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs).\n\n\nSpatial nanofiber alignment is controlled u sing a custom directional electrospinning setup.  The electric field to sp atially control the confinement of nanofibers was simulated with COMSOL Mu ltiphysics simulation tool and experimentally verified. To promote neurite outgrowth and impart directionality to SGN cells\, a spatial gradient of neurotrophin (NT) is introduced. By sequentially electrospinning solutions of increasing concentrations of NT inthe biodegradable polymerand collect ing sections of these aligned fibers along a uniaxial direction\, we achie ved uniform sectional nanofibers of increasing gradient concentrations. In itial tests with SGNs show improved cell adhesion and decreased morbidity to microfabricated PLGA scaffolds. Our solid gradient nanofiber membrane i s versatile\, obviates the need for the complex microfluidic mixer system to generate an NT gradient\, is potentially implantable\, and can be used in other nerve regeneration studies in peripheral nerve system and central nerve system.\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nWednesday\, September 15\, 2010 - 7:00 pm to 7:30pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20100915T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20100915T193000 LAST-MODIFIED:20101020T165106Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar: Spatially Controlled Electrospun Solid Gradient Aligne d Nanofiber Tissue Scaffold for Guided Spiral Ganglion Neuron Culture URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/265/img-seminar-spatially-contr olled-electrospun-solid-gradient-aligned-nanofiber-tissue END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.260.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20100910T141222Z DESCRIPTION:Tai-An Chen will present his proposal on 'A Micromachined Float ing Element Shear Stress Sensor Using Moire Transduction for Harsh Environ ments.'

The seminar\, given by Matt William s\, will include a brief introduction to OOP\, how it can be naturally app lied to LEMs (via a simple example)\, and a short demo of a more complex i mplementation (my own LEM of a piezoelectric MEMS mic).\n\n\nEvent date:  \n\nFriday\, May 28\, 2010 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm\n\nEvent location: \n\nLarse n 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20100528T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20100528T160000 LAST-MODIFIED:20100528T011604Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar: Object Oriented Programming in MATLAB (And How it Will Make Your Lumped Element Models Better) URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/246/img-seminar-object-oriented -programming-matlab-and-how-it-will-make-your-lumped-element END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar.247.field_event_date.0@www.img.ufl.edu DTSTAMP:20260520T200926Z CREATED:20100519T122043Z DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sheplak and Dr. Nishida will be giving a talk on the state of IMG in Larsen 234.  All IMG members are encouraged to participate.\n\n \nEvent date: \n\nFriday\, May 21\, 2010 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm\n\nEvent locat ion: \n\nLarsen 234 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20100521T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20100521T160000 LAST-MODIFIED:20100529T120534Z LOCATION:Larsen 234 SUMMARY:IMG Seminar: State of IMG URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.img.ufl.edu/events/247/img-seminar-state-img END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
