SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Uncertainty quantification and spatial biases assessment in precipitation forecasts: a methodology for real-time flood forecasting applications
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Enrico Gambini condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Uncertainty quantification and spatial biases assessment in precipitation forecasts: a methodology for real-time flood forecasting applications”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract\nAccurate meteorological forecasts are essential for mitigating flood impacts\, but uncertainty in convective precipitation positioning may significantly undermine flow predictions in small watersheds. A methodology is proposed to assess spatial biases in convection‐permitting model rainfall forecasts\, the procedure identifies preferential misplacement directions made by the meteorological model and incorporates this uncertainty into hydrological predictions. The approach was conducted on 64 significant convective rainfall events in the “hydraulic node of Milan” (Northern Italy) during 2013–2022. Quantitative precipitation forecasts from the MOLOCH (ISAC-CNR) meteorological model were compared with observed rainfall fields. Displacement errors were quantified using pattern matching\, revealing a consistent northeast bias. Kernel Density Estimation was then used to derive a bidimensional displacement probability density function\, this enables probabilistic forecast generation to quantify rainfall misplacement uncertainty effects on hydrological forecast. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\nEnrico holds a M.Sc in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering\, obtained at Politecnico di Milano in 2021. He is currently a PhD candidate (37-th cycle) in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering\, in his PhD he is collaborating with the civil protection of Lombardy Region (CFMR) doing research on the enhancement of regional flood early warning system. His research is mainly focused on the use of machine learning algorithms for flood forecasting\, nowcasting and flood warning applications\, as well as uncertainty quantification of meteorological predictions. \nIn his spare time\, he enjoys playing chess (with poor results)\, hiking\, climbing and skiing.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Towards the realization of Submerged Floating Tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 4 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Stefano Corazza condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Towards the realization of Submerged Floating Tunnels”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract\nSubmerged Floating Tunnels (SFTs) are underwater modular structures which are deemed to be a valuable option for crossing deep and long waterways\, such as sea straits\, fjords\, bays and alpine lakes. Compared to classical aerial bridges\, they are characterized by (1) lower construction costs per unit of length\, (2) reduced environmental impact due to a smaller land footprint\, and (3) the ability to operate in all weather conditions. However\, due to their inherent flexibility\, they are very prone to the effect of dynamic loads such as marine currents\, earthquakes\, traffic and hydrodynamic loadings.This talk will provide an overview of the most common structural typologies of SFTs\, highlighting key design challenges and issues related to the simulation of their dynamic behavior. The presentation will conclude with recent findings on both analytical and numerical modeling of the local dynamics of the mooring system. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\nStefano is a PhD Candidate in Structural\, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (38° cycle). He holds a Master of Science in Structural Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, obtained in 2022\, and is currently enrolled in the third year of the PhD program. His research focuses on developing a multiscale approach to address the nonlinear dynamic behavior of slender offshore structural elements and to describe fatigue damage accumulation under hydrodynamic loading conditions\, by means of both numerical and analytical tools. \nIn his free time Stefano enjoys traveling\, hiking\, playing tennis and padel.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Simulating the effect of Nature-based Solutions as a mitigation tool for Urban Heat Islands
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 febbraio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Angelly de Jesus Pugliese Viloria condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Simulating the effect of Nature-based Solutions as a mitigation tool for Urban Heat Islands”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nMore than 3.3 billion people live in areas highly vulnerable to climate change\, facing threats to health\, infrastructure\, and economic stability. This research focuses on modeling and mapping the susceptibility towards climate change-related hazards using machine learning\, with a particular emphasis on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect—an issue prevalent in densely built environments with limited vegetation.Using satellite and authoritative data\, including Landsat 8-derived land surface temperature and land cover information\, surface UHI was modeled in Milan. To explore mitigation strategies\, the study assesses the impact of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS)\, which have been shown to reduce both the frequency and intensity of UHIs. By simulating the strategic addition of vegetation\, the analysis re-evaluates UHI patterns to quantify the potential benefits of NbS in urban environments. \nSpeaker’s bio \nAngelly is a computer scientist from Universidad del Norte (Colombia) and a Geoinformatics Engineer from Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Her projects consisted of the development of a QGIS plugin for location privacy and the application of deep learning to classify deforestation leveraging open satellite imagery\, respectively. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Environmental Engineering focused on Geomatics. Her current research regards the application of artificial intelligence to produce the susceptibility models and maps of climate change related hazards in urban areas. Furthermore\, the models can be used to evaluate the impact on the susceptibility introduced by simulated nature based solutions.\nDuring her PhD studies\, she has been a consultant for the World Bank\, specifically developing geospatial applications currently focused on GeoAI as a service. \n\nIn her free time\, she enjoys doing exercise\, dancing\, connecting with nature\, and reading a good book\, mostly from Colombian authors.

SUMMARY:Auxeticity\, hierarchy and imperfections in mechanics of living matter
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 14 Febbraio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:30 dal titolo “Auxeticity\,hierarchy and imperfections in mechanics of living matter “. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Massimiliano Fraldi\, professor of Mechanics of Structures\, Nonlinear Mechanics and Biomechanics at the University of Napoli Federico II\, Italy. \nAbstract: \nMechanics of continua and structures is playing an indispensable role for deeply understanding how growth\, remodeling and morphogenesis in living matter do all interact with internal stresses and uid ow at the macro-scale to optimize selected tissues and organs functions. This coupling is often crucial to unveil complex underlying mechanisms originating from cascades of events occurring at lower scales. Cell-cell competitive dynamics incorporating chemomechanical feedback can be for instance projected at the continuum level and helpfully coupled with elasticity and mass balance equations in order to obtain faithful outcomes about growth and to predict cells fate as well. Through some selected paradigmatic examples of biological systems\, we show how auxeticity\, elastic instability\, microstructure hierarchy and even geometrical imperfections may all contribute to shed light on still unclear mechanobiological phenomena\, including tissue differentiation\, regeneration\, wound healing and cancer diseases. We also highlight the reciprocal benets of integrating mechanics and biology for envisioning new therapeutic strategies for precise medicine and designing new classes of bio-inspired\, self-repairing “active” composites. This is a joint work with contributions by A.R. Carotenuto\, A. Cutolo\, S.Palumbo\, and N.M. Pugno. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nMASSIMILIANO FRALDI (magna cum laude and PhD in Structural Engineering at University of Napoli Federico II\, post-doc and visiting researcher at Department of Mathematics\, Rutgers University\, and Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at City College of New York\, USA) is full professor of Mechanics of Structures\, Nonlinear Mechanics and Biomechanics at the University of Napoli Federico II\, Italy\, where he is head of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Structural Composites (SCIC) and the Laboratory of Integrated Mechanics and Imaging for Testing and Simulation of bio-systems (LIMITS)\, delegate of the Rector for the Infrastructure for Research in Oncology\, member of the Task Force on Quantitative and Computational Biology and the Doctoral College of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering and Seismic Risk at the Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture (DIST).

DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 4 febbraio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker José Pablo Quesada Molina condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Accelerating Materials Design with Deep Learning: Multiscale Modeling and Inverse Design Strategies”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nThis talk delves into the transformative role of deep learning in advancing multiscale modeling and inverse design of heterogeneous materials\, with a focus on predictive and generative data-driven approaches. Two case studies exemplify this potential: the first examines polysilicon films commonly used in microelectromechanical systems\, employing Convolutional Neural Networks to develop surrogate models that reliably link microstructural characteristics to macroscopic elastic properties. The second explores an inverse design framework for composite materials using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks\, enabling accelerated material discovery and optimization. These studies demonstrate how deep learning enhances material property prediction and design\, emphasizing the interplay between data availability and model generalization. \nSpeaker’s bio \nJosé Pablo completed his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Universidad de Costa Rica\, where he earned a scholarship to pursue postgraduate studies at Politecnico di Milano\, Italy.

Shortly after\, in November 2020\, he began his Ph.D. studies in the Structural Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering program.\nHis research focuses on applying deep learning (DL) strategies to tackle challenges in the modeling and design of microstructurally heterogeneous materials\, such as polycrystalline solids and composites. By utilizing advanced architectures like Convolutional Neural Networks and Generative Adversarial Networks\, his work aims to accelerate material discovery\, optimize structural responses\, and predict effective properties across multiple scales. Additionally\, his research investigates the generalization capabilities of data-driven models in complex systems\, with a particular emphasis on exploring the potential of DL to effectively address out-of-distribution scenarios\nJosé Pablo’s Ph.D. studies are funded by Universidad de Costa Rica as part of a program dedicated to enhancing the academic qualifications of its teaching staff. After completing his Ph.D.\, he will return to Costa Rica as a full-time professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department\, where he plans to contribute to academic excellence and foster research in computational materials science. \nIn his free time\, José Pablo enjoys hiking\, exploring nature\, and reading.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Extreme Floods on Infrastucture: Is it just water?
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 23 Gennaio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:30 dal titolo “The Impact of Extreme Floods on Infrastucture: Is it just water?“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Dr. Davide Wüthrich\, Assistant Professor\, Delft University of Technology\, the Netherlands. \nInoltre il seminario potrà essere seguito tramite Webex al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nAll recent studies consistently predict a future characterised by more frequent and extreme natural hazards. The catastrophic floods of summer 2021 in Belgium\, Germany\, and the Netherlands clearly demonstrated the devastating consequences of such events\, underscoring the urgent need for effective measures to ensure safety\, mitigate damage and reduce reconstruction costs. This seminar begins with first-hand observations collected during field surveys of recent extreme events\, emphasizing their complex multiphase nature\, including large volumes of floating debris. Recognizing that these phenomena remain poorly understood\, the seminar will then explore ongoing research on the accumulation of large floating debris at bridges and other critical water conveyance structures. This shows the need to combine innovative research\, high-quality education and interdisciplinary collaboration to meet the challenges that current and future infrastructure are facing. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nDavide Wüthrich is a civil engineer specialized in hydraulic structures\, currently Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology\, Netherlands\, and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Queensland\, Australia. He earned his Bachelor degree at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) followed by a Master and PhD at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL\, Switzerland)\, focusing on the impact of extreme events on structures. Building upon previous experience as Post-Doc in Japan and Australia\, his current research at TU Delft focuses on the impact of extreme events on infrastructure\, including post-flood forensic surveys\, laboratory experiments\, and prototype measurements.

To support policy-making in Lombardy region\, first\, a Material Flow Analysis (MFA) of the region’s textile waste streams was conducted\, and municipal textile waste generation data of the Lombardy’s municipalities were analysed. Then\, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is applied to the textile waste management system of Lombardy region to quantify its environmental impacts and assess whether increased circularity leads to reduced impacts. The feasibility of applying LCA to textile waste management was explored in scientific literature\, and the current state of recycling technologies is discussed. LCA was applied to the management of post-consumer textile waste in Lombardy\, and some preliminary results are shown. \nSpeaker’s bio \nSamuele obtained the master’s degree in environmental engineering at the University of Bologna in 2021\, with a thesis about the application of life cycle assessment to carbon capture from flue gas. Then he spent one year as research fellow focusing on flue gas treatments for waste to energy plants. In 2022 he started his phd journey at Politecnico di Milano (38th cycle). His research project\, in collaboration with Regione Lombardia\, is focused on textile waste management in the context of Lombardy region\, with the aim to develop analyses to support policy making and public policies at the regional scale about waste management. \nIn his free time\, he loves playing (and watching) basketball\, he is interested in culture and politics\, and in a lot of other things that we do not have the time to list here.

SUMMARY:Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 10 Gennaio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A) dalle ore 14:30 dal titolo “Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Dott. Claus Claeys (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). \nInoltre il seminario potrà essere seguito tramite Webex al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nMetamaterials (MMs) have emerged as promising noise and vibration solutions which enable reconciling the often conflicting requirements of low mass and volume and high noise and vibration attenuation. Their superior performance arises from stop bands\, being frequency ranges of strong noise and vibration reduction\, which result from the addition or inclusion of locally resonant structures on or into a host structure on a sub-wavelength scale. Although their potential has been widely evidenced in a variety of (academic) demonstrators the manufacturing of MMs is far from mature while their performance is mostly limited to narrowband noise and vibration reduction. In view of merging the need for mass-manufacturable integrated MM solutions with the opportunity of broadening MM performance by embedding smart inclusions\, the mass- production process injection moulding comes to the fore: a wide range of polymer products is currently already injection moulded\, while the technology is particularly suitable to produce hybrid parts with embedded inclusions in a highly automated fashion through the process of insert moulding. Additionally\, designs are commonly obtained on a trial-and-error basis or with expert knowledge. To automate this design process and obtain high performant metamaterial designs\, optimization routines are important enablers. Topology optimization has shown its potential to achieve designs in many mechanical applications which outperform the state-of-the-art in terms of performance such as stiffness or strength\, but also for noise insulation. Optimized structures are discussed in this presentation\, together with first steps towards accounting for actual manufacturing constraints. \n

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | A downscaling method based on wet spell and analysis of future climate variation under CMIP6 Scenarios in Upper Yangtze River Basin\, China
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 19 novembre nell’aula Grandori (Edificio 4)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi.

As the largest basin\, and the primary source of hydropower in China\, the impact of climate change on the Upper Yangtze river Basin (UYRB) is particularly crucial. We downscaled GCMs’ outputs of precipitation (wet/dry spells considered to reduce GCMS wet days overestimation) and temperature projections (2024-2100)\, under four typical Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)\, and we pursued a trend analysis on these potential future climate projections. We found significant trends of precipitation in all months\, unless for August\, across all socioeconomic pathways. This could lead to future heatwaves\, and droughts. Additionally\, for SSP370 and SSP585\, there were no significant trends of precipitation in December\, but there were significant upward trends in temperature. This may result in drier winters than now\, increased potential evapotranspiration\, and reduced surface (snow) water storage\, impacting water resources availability. Consecutive dry/wet days at station\, and basin scale show spatial-temporal heterogeneity\, but generally wet spells are longer\, and dry spells shorten moving from S-E to N-W. In addition\, we carried out a comprehensive evaluation of past (1980-2014) monthly\, and annual climate output of chosen models. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMy name is Xu Han\, my hometown is in Handan\, northern China\, not far from Beijing. I came to Italy to study in 2021. My research is mainly related to meteorology and hydrology\, specifically climate change\, model evaluation\, downscaling methods\, extreme weather\, etc. \nI like traveling\, music\, movies\, running

This problem has found a solution in devices based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. In particular\, MEMS inertial sensors are now the most widely used option for accurately and reliably measuring accelerations and changes in orientation of an object in space. Due to their ability to detect motion and changes in orientation without the need for GPS signal or other external systems. MEMS devices are increasingly being applied in various fields\, from air and sea navigation to autonomous vehicles. In this presentation we propose innovative devices that take advantage of a new fabrication process to achieve high performance and reliability in measurements. \nSpeaker’s bio \nYassine holds an MSc in Civil Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, in 2020. He is currently a PhD candidate in Structural\, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (38th cycle). His research focuses on the design and numerical simulation of innovative MEMS(Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors and actuators for a new fabrication process. \nIn his free time\, he enjoys reading\, traveling with friends and eating pasta.

SUMMARY:Stabilità di Alberi: esperienze\, casi di studio e innovazioni da professionisti e ricercatori
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 25 ottobre\, a partire dalle ore 9:45\, presso l’aula Grandori (edificio 4\, piano seminterrato)\, si terrà una giornata di studio intitolata “Stabilità di alberi: esperienze\, casi di studio e innovazioni da professionisti e ricercatori”. \nA seguire la locandina con il programma completo. La partecipazione è gratuita\, ma con iscrizione obbligatoria al seguente link (posti limitati a 60 persone): Iscriviti qui. \n\n\nAbstract\nLa cura del verde\, la creazione e lo sviluppo di nuove aree alberate\, la protezione del patrimonio arboreo sono argomenti di rilevante interesse per tutti gli attori impegnati – a vari livelli – sul territorio\, tanto in ambito urbano quanto extraurbano e/o forestale. Gli eventi meteorologici estremi (in evidente e preoccupante crescita\, sia in frequenza che in intensità\, e che hanno purtroppo visto anche Milano come teatro di numerosi episodi di schianti e collassi) impattano sul “sistema albero” con particolare violenza. Venti forti\, piogge intense\, prolungati periodi di siccità\, dal punto di vista tecnico-ingegneristico rappresentano situazioni – una volta ritenute rare\, e quindi associate a bassi livelli di rischio – che oggi richiedono un approfondimento delle attuali conoscenze. La giornata di studio\, promossa dal dottorato di ricerca in Ingegneria Strutturale\, Sismica e Geotecnica del Politecnico di Milano vuole mettere l’accento sul carattere fortemente interdisciplinare e intersettoriale della problematica\, raccogliendo esperienze da parte di professionisti e tecnici\, per metterle a sistema con i risultati e gli orientamenti della attuale ricerca sviluppata nell’ambito del corso di dottorato al Politecnico e presso altri Atenei.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | AQUA-LIDAR: A novel and open source semi-automatic workflow for LiDAR DSM reconstruction in aquatic scenarios
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 15 ottobre nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Erika Piaser condurrà un seminario dal titolo “AQUA-LIDAR: A novel and open source semi-automatic workflow for LiDAR DSM reconstruction in aquatic scenarios”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nThe need for high-resolution\, three-dimensional water surface mapping in coastal environments is critical for accurately assessing the intricate interactions between environmental dynamics and anthropogenic activities. Traditional optical sensors struggle in providing accurate and complete digital surface models (DSMs) at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Single-wavelength LiDAR\, though useful for generating 3D point clouds\, results in laser dropouts over water bodies\, due to strong absorption of water in the near-infrared spectrum. AQUA-LIDAR is a four step semi-automatic workflow for high-resolution DSM reconstruction in aquatic environments\, using unsupervised machine learning and LiDAR-derived features. The proposed workflow was evaluated over six different\, real-world aquatic scenarios representing a range of challenging conditions. \nSpeaker’s bio \nErika holds an MSc in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, in 2020. She is currently a PhD candidate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (37th cycle) and has recently completed a four-year research fellowship with the Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment\, part of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-IREA). \nHer research focuses on a range of Earth Observation applications for monitoring wetlands and aquatic environments at different scales. Specifically\, she is mainly working on addressing ultra-high resolution UAV radiometric and geometric distortions on aquatic vegetation. \nIn her free time\, she enjoys watercolour painting and hiking up in the mountains with friends\, always fueled by her passion for polenta.

SUMMARY:Cognitive dynamical systems: Talking structures\, smart nano-robots and the limits of green computers
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 3 luglio alle ore 11:30 presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4\, piano seminterrato\, piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Cognitive dynamical systems: Talking structures\, smart nano-robots and the limits of green computers“\, tenuto da Marc Serra-Garcia (tenure-track group leader at the AMOLF institute on the physics of complex matter in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands). \nAbstract \nThe dynamic response of elastic structures can be very complex; surprising us with instabilities\, parametric resonances and chaotic dynamics. This complexity is responsible for unpredictable failure mechanisms and numerical modelling challenges. But could we use the richness of behaviour to our advantage? Can we design structures that solve problems using solid mechanics instead of electronics and software? In this talk\, I will show two examples of our recent work in cognitive elastic structures. First\, I will present a passive device that recognises spoken commands\, built by implementing machine-learning models in networks of elastic resonators. Such structure can detect relevant events (e.g. someone saying ‘OK Google’) while consuming zero standby power\, opening the door to smart devices (pacemakers\, sensors\, smart speakers) that do not require batteries to operate. Second\, I will show a mass-spring system that executes an algorithm to find the exit of a maze\, generated automatically from from a text description of the desired behaviour — written in a ‘mechanical programming language’. Such structure could one day form the basis for smart robots with no control electronics. A strong point of intelligent elastic structures is their high energy efficiency. At the microscopic scale\, thermodynamics restricts the computations that we can we perform\, given a fixed amount of input energy. To conclude the talk\, I will briefly show our recent simulations on the scaling-down of elastic intelligent structures. Our result suggests that\, while regular electronic computers consume around four orders of magnitude more power than fundamentally necessary\, the thermodynamically-limited regime may be accessible to smart elastic structures within the capabilities of current fabrication technology. While mechanical forms of information technology will most likely not replace electronics in general purpose computers\, the ability to function without a battery\, transducers or toxic materials makes cognitive mechanics a promising solution for a remarkable number of problems and use cases — such as implantable sensors\, zero-power IoT devices and other power or size constrained applications. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMarc Serra-Garcia is a tenure-track group leader at the AMOLF institute on the physics of complex matter in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands — A position he took after his studies at Caltech and ETH Zurich. His research focuses on developing elastic structures with novel functionalities by combining advanced design algorithms and precision microfabrication with insights from fundamental physics. His work includes the invention of a nonlinear system that extracts energy from random vibrations\, the demonstration of wave-controlling materials based on topological insulators\, and\, currently\, the development of elastic computing structures — from speech classifiers to entirely-mechanical microprocessors; area of research that has recently been recognised by an ERC Starting grant.
