    • MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Additive Manufacturing and Mechanical Properties of Cellulose Nanofibril Materials”

    /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are a nanomaterial derived from plants that have high specific stiffness and strength, can be made into optically transparent materials, and are biodegradable. These properties make CNFs an attractive building block for bulk structural materials. However, CNFs are typically produced in aqueous suspension at low CNF weight fractions (<1 wt.%), which makes […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Delivering Expressive and Personalized Fingertip Haptic Cues”

    /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The importance of meaningful tactile experiences has become increasingly apparent in areas such as teleoperation, education, and gaming. As the applications of rendering haptic stimuli are growing, so are the requirements of haptic interfaces, in that the intended audience is becoming more diverse and the intended interactions are becoming more complicated. For the past few […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Nano-compatible Neuromorphic Computers: An All-passive Approach to Neural Networks”

    /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This era of the internet of things is poised to experience explosive growth in the number of interconnected smart electronic devices. Machine learning algorithms, such as neural networks, are expected to play an indispensable role in analyzing the data gathered by these devices, and in many cases, will also facilitate informed device responses. However, the […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Small, Autonomous, Flying Robots that can Feel and Map their Environment”

    /
    Room 307, Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Autonomous flight through unknown environments in the presence of obstacles is a challenging problem for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). A majority of the current state-of-art research focuses on modeling obstacles as opaque objects that can be easily sensed by optical sensors such as cameras or LiDARs. Since obstacles may not always be opaque, particularly in […]

    MEAM/LRSM Seminar: “Enabling Soft, Flexible 2D Materials and Sensors”

    /
    Reading Room, LRSM 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Low temperature synthesis of high quality 2D materials directly on flexible substrates remains a fundamental limitation towards realization of robust, strainable electronics possessing the unique physical properties of atomically thin structures. Here, we describe room temperature synthesis of uniform, stoichiometric amorphous MoS2, WSe2, and other transition metal dichalcogenides and subsequent large area (>5 cm2) photonic […]

    • Penn Engineering Connects: A Reception on Inclusion

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    A reception on inclusion will be held for new Penn Engineering doctoral students to connect them to their peers and supporting structures within the school. Please join the Dean, Deputy Dean, the Director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, faculty and staff leaders including chairs, graduate group chairs and coordinators, and leaders of student groups. […]

    CBE Seminar: “Embryogenesis: A Cascade of Dynamical Systems”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: We aim to establish and experimentally test mathematical models of embryogenesis. While the foundation of this research is based on models of isolated developmental events, the ultimate challenge is to formulate and understand dynamical systems encompassing multiple stages of development and multiple levels of regulation. These range from specific chemical reactions in single cells […]

    “Compressive Sensing: From Algorithms to Circuits”

    /
    PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Compressive Sensing is an acquisition technique which relies on the sparsity of the underlying signals, to enable sampling below the classical Nyquist rate. To do so, the signals must be acquired in an incoherent way with respect to the sparsity basis, which is classically obtained in practice by acquiring the signal through projection on a […]
