Recent advances in spatiotemporal evolution of thermomechanical fields during the solid&#150;solid phase transition of shape memory alloys: Special Seminar

Seminar | May 14 | 10:10-11 a.m. | 534 Davis Hall


Qingping SUN, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, China

Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)


Superelastic NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) has high recoverable strain and outstanding damping capacity, and can be used as a biomedical and damping materials for many applications. This talk reports recent advances in the micromechanics experimental research of the solid–solid phase transition in NiTi polycrystalline shape memory alloys....   More >

DREAM Seminar: Eliminating Concurrency Bugs with Control Engineering

Seminar | May 15 | 4-5 p.m. | Cory Hall, 540 A/B


Stéphane Lafortune, University of Michigan

Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS)


We present a control engineering approach to the elimination of certain classes of concurrency bugs in concurrent software. Based on a model of the source code extracted at compile time and represented in the form of a Petri net, control techniques from the field of discrete event systems are employed to analyze the behavior of the concurrent program. The property of deadlock-freedom of the......   More >

The H-1B Visa: Temporary Work Status for Non-Immigrants

Workshop | May 16 | 2-4 p.m. | International House, Sproul Room | Canceled


Berkeley International Office(BIO))


The H-1B is an employer-sponsored non-immigrant classification which allows persons who are not citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. to work here for up to six years. A broad range of professional occupations qualify for H-1B status. Generally, professional-level occupations in engineering, biological, physical, and social sciences, mathematics, and business administration will qualify for......   More >

DNA-Engineered Plasmonic Nanogap Bioprobes: Nano Seminar Series

Seminar | May 18 | 2-3 p.m. | 390 Hearst Memorial Mining Building


Prof. Jwa-Min Nam, Seoul National University, Chemistry

Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute


I will describe DNA-based synthetic strategies to build up new types of plasmonic nanogap Au/Ag structures. The use of these plasmonic nanostructures as excellent optical signal enhancement platforms to address the above-mentioned issues in SERS will be mainly shown.

Biosensing applications using these plasmonic nanogap structures will also be shown and discussed....   More >
