    • ASSET Seminar: ML for Causal Inference, Konrad Kording, University of Pennsylvania

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

    ABSTRACT Machine learning traditionally does not get at causality and causality research traditionally treats machine learning as a dangerous set of highly biased estimators. In my talk I will talk about our lab’s efforts to use machine learning as a component of more traditional quasi-experimental techniques. I will also discuss meta-learning approaches to causal inference, […]

    ESE Fall Colloquium: “Electronics 5.0: New Materials and Devices for Edge Intelligence”

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

    The end of traditional transistor scaling brings unprecedented new opportunities to semiconductor devices and electronics. We are at the onset of a new technology revolution, which will focus on distributed intelligence and will be pushing the limits of sensing and computing at the edge of the cloud. This seminar will describe some of our work […]

    ESE Fall Colloquium – “From Brains to Bandgaps: How Novel Materials Synthesis can provide New Semiconductor Platforms for Optoelectronics, Acoustics, Electronics and Neuromorphic Computation”

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

    Since the first discovery of semiconductors, materials synthesis has been the driving force for new devices, new applications, and new markets. In this presentation, Professor Doolittle will provide two examples of “counterculture synthesis methods”, methods that buck literature tradition, that enable new devices, applications, and potentially vast new markets. Emphasis will be given to non-standard […]

    ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Integrated photonic-assisted electronics for phased array beamforming and delay control”

    /
    Towne 337

    In recent years, electronic-photonic co-design and co-integration has emerged as a disruptive technology to augment the power of integrated circuits and deliver enhanced chip scale solutions for a variety of applications ranging from communication and sensing to imaging and computation. Coupled with the versatility of electronics, integrated photonic techniques may be employed to assist in […]

    • ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Compositional Methods for Agile Quadrupedal Behaviors”

    /
    PERCH 303, Pennovation 3rd Floor 3401 Grays Ferry Avenue, Bldg 6176, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of legged machines with high power and force densities, as well as a commensurate development of locomotion controllers which achieve impressive empirical demonstrations. Yet, despite showing promise as a means of navigating rough terrain, these machines – and the locomotion controllers which animate them – are still restricted […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Role of Water in the Mechanics of Cells and Tissues”

    /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    A large fraction of cell and tissue mass is made of water. The flow of water across the cell surface follows osmotic and hydraulic pressure gradients, and is actively controlled by the cell. This physical fact suggests that the mechanical behavior of cells is intimately connected with cell ionic homeostasis and osmotic control. In this […]

    MSE Seminar: “Building With Fluids: A Lazy Approach to Fabrication”

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

    In nature, organized arrays of elements arise spontaneously from the interactions between their component parts, e.g. reaction-diffusion problems, clustering colloidal particles and granular media, wrinkling surfaces, propagating cracks and flowing liquids. In the wake of biomimicry, I will discuss several strategies aiming to harness mechanical instabilities in flowing liquids, e.g. coiling, droplet formation, digitation, drainage, […]
