The Spring 2026 seminar series has concluded. You can watch recordings of many excellent seminars from both Penn State and guest speakers on the seminars page.
Wednesday, April 8, 2026 Dr. Kevin Haworth Director, Biomedical Ultrasonics and Cavitation Laboratory University of Cincinnati Although ultrasound is most widely recognized for its role in diagnostic imaging, therapeutic ultrasound has emerged as a rapidly expanding clinical and research field. Multiple ultrasound-based devices are now available for clinical use, including treatments for kidney…
Wednesday, April 15, 2026 Dr. Fotis Kopsaftopoulos Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering Director, Intelligent Structural Systems Laboratory (ISSL) Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Future intelligent systems will be able to “feel,” “think,” and “react” in real time by leveraging multi-modal sensing and advanced data-driven fram…
Wednesday, March 25, 2026 Dr. Alok Sinha Professor of Mechanical Engineering The Pennsylvania State University One dimensional continuous structures include longitudinal vibration of bars, torsional vibration of shafts, and transverse vibration of beams. For uniform one-dimensional structures, there are analytical solutions. However, many engineering structures are not uniform and they can also…
