Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations Graduate Speaker Series (September 25, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59651 59651-16787733@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 25, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Herbert H. Dow Building
Organized By: Tau Beta Pi

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

Distinguished Alumni Lecture: "25 Years of Ceramic Research, Teaching, and Service: A Look at Life’s Decisions that Create a Past but Lead to the Present" (October 25, 2019 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68648 68648-17130515@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 25, 2019 10:30am
Location: Herbert H. Dow Building
Organized By: Materials Science and Engineering

My goal for the first part of this seminar is to take you on my journey through the field of materials science and engineering, from the day that I discovered this amazing field to today. Together, we will briefly overview the tough decisions that life throws at us, often in unexpected ways; we will discuss what “work hard, play hard” means and why that’s at least one proven method for how to approach a reasonable work/life balance; and we will discuss why you should give back to the professional organizations that support you.

The remainder of the presentation will focus on the current research in my group, concentrating largely on ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs). UHTCs are an emerging class of structural materials capable of withstanding extreme environments, which is allowing them to be used in applications ranging from hypersonic flight and rocket propulsion to advanced nuclear reactors, electrodes for metal production, and more. These applications involve temperatures, heat fluxes, radiation levels, strain rates, chemical reactivities, or other stresses that are beyond the capabilities of existing materials. This presentation will review recent research on UHTCs, focusing on mechanical and thermal behavior at temperatures up to 2000°C, or higher. The presentation will overview the MS and PhD research of the current graduate students in the group and take a deeper dive into one or two key projects related to improving the elevated temperature thermal and mechanical properties of boride and carbide based UHTCs. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of some emerging trends and future needs.

Robotics Seminar - Improving Multi-fingered Robot Manipulation by Unifying Learning and Planning (January 24, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/71850 71850-17894524@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 24, 2020 11:00am
Location: Herbert H. Dow Building
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Multi-fingered hands offer autonomous robots increased dexterity, versatility, and stability over simple two-fingered grippers. Naturally, this increased ability comes with increased complexity in planning and executing manipulation actions. As such, I propose combining model-based planning with learned components to improve over purely data-driven or purely-model based approaches to manipulation.

This talk examines multi-fingered autonomous manipulation when the robot has only partial knowledge of the object of interest. I will first present results on planning multi-fingered grasps for novel objects using a learned neural network. I will then present our approach to planning in-hand manipulation tasks when dynamic properties of objects are not known. I will conclude with a discussion of our ongoing and future research to further unify these two approaches.
