We look forward to seeing you! \nPeter Tong \n“Smart Structures—Self-Sensing\, Energy Generating\, and Shielding”by Deborah D.L. Chung\, Caltech’s 2025 Distinguished Award Alumni\nStructural electronics refer to electronic functions provided by structures\, such as aircrafts\, buildings\, and 3D-printed structures. \nAn example is structural self-sensing\, i.e.\, a structure monitoring its own health with no additional sensors. Other examples include energy generation and electromagnetic radiation shielding. Such functions render a smart structure. \nThe underlying science involves understanding the relationship between the structure and the properties of its material—a relationship well established for mechanical properties\, but not electronic properties. \nIn this talk\, I will explain the electronic properties of structural materials\, an area that has long escaped the attention of the research community. \nAbout the Speaker\nDeborah D.L. Chung is the State University of New York Distinguished Professor in University at Buffalo (UB). She received her PhD in Materials Science from MIT (1977)\, and her BS and MS from Caltech (1973)\, being the first female BS engineering graduate of Caltech. \nShe is a pioneer and international leader in the fields of multifunctional structural materials\, thermal interface materials\, and electromagnetic interference shielding materials. In particular\, she is the inventor of smart concrete. \nShe has authored or coauthored over 600 archival journal papers and 10 books. \nDeborah is Fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, Fellow of American Carbon Society\, and Fellow of ASM International. Other honors received include UB President’s Medal; Honorary Doctorate from University of Alicante\, Spain; and Pettinos Award from American Carbon Society. \nShe is also one of Caltech’s 2025 Distinguished Award Alumni. \nTo attend\, please click this link to register for the webinar. \n \n \n \n \n \n Our Alumni Volunteers‍\nThe following alumni work together to serve you: Avni Gandhi\, Dave Adler\, Jane Frommer\, Ralph Pursifull\, Susan Huynh\, ​​​​​​​and Peter Tong.

The James Webb Space Telescope and NASA’s Tech-Enabled Search for Life\nJoin members of the Caltech and JPL communities for a shared alumni gathering hosted by the Stanford Club of Pasadena. The program features a presentation on the James Webb Space Telescope\, the largest and most powerful space telescope ever built. \nMIT Professor David W. Miller\, chief technologist for the Astronomy and Fundamental Physics Directorate at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, will discuss the development\, engineering challenges\, and scientific impact of the James Webb Space Telescope. Prof. Miller’s talk will be followed by a Q&A facilitated by SCP member Joel Hartman\, a research astronomer at Princeton. \nLearn more about the mission and technology behind the telescope. \nProgram Schedule2:00 p.m. Check-in and reception with light bites and beverages2:30 p.m. Presentation and Q&A3:45 p.m. Networking and conversation4:30 p.m. Event concludes \nRegistration$20 Caltech alumni\, postdocs\, and community members$10 Graduates of the Last Decade (Classes of 2015–2025) \nRegistration has reached capacity\, and registration is now closed.
