DManD CodeKitchen Series 7: Digitize Motion

Visualize and animate with Motion Capture Data and 3D Studio Max   Taught by Sumbul Khan & Akash Vibhute | 5-7 PM, Wednesday August 17 | 1.611 ASD Computer Lab  Ever wondered how computer generated characters look so life-like in animation films? With motion capture systems, designers can digitize and recreate finely nuanced motion of humans, animals and objects. Current technology in motion capture systems offer comprehensive and precise […]

DManD CodeKitchen Series 6: Synthetic Bio-textures

Create micro and nano – natural surface patterns with bench-top PDMS molding Taught by Professor Hong Yee Low | 5-7 PM, Thursday August 11 | Teaching Lab 2.614-2.615  What makes a gecko’s feet so sticky? Or the butterflies colors so vivid? In nature, fine-geometrical patterns produces an amazing diversity of functions in the nature. With the emergence of nano-scale imaging procedures, materials, and fabrication techniques, researchers and designers alike have the ability to recreate these structures: to better understand their properties, or […]

CodeKitchen Series 5: Digital Foundry

Learn the basics of  high and low tech metal 3-D printing. Taught by: Kenneth Teo Desktop 3D printers and open-source design software allow anyone to make, customized objects: but these designs limited to plastics, and low-production prototyping. On the other hand, metal 3D printing, though less well-known, will soon emerge as a way to manufacturing production grade products in the near future. In this […]

Synthesis of High-Quality Two-Dimensional Materials for New Functional Devices

Title| Synthesis of High-Quality Two-Dimensional Materials for New Functional Devices Speaker| Dr Hao Yufeng, Associate Research Scientist, Columbia Nano Initiative and Department of Mechanical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, United States. ABSTRACT Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), topological insulators (TIs), and the more recent silicene and germanene, etc., have stable crystalline structures and unique electronic properties, […]

Mechanics of Soft Materials and Structures

Title| Mechanics of Soft Materials and Structures Speaker| Professor Shaoxing Qu, Department of Engineering Mechanics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou China 310027. ABSTRACT Dielectric elastomer (DE) as one kind of electroactive polymers, has attracted extensive studies in the field of smart materials and structures, due to its superior properties, such as voltage-induced large deformation, fast response, quiet operation, high energy density, light weight and low cost.
