    CBE PhD Thesis Defense: “Comparative analysis of aneuploidy in suspension cancer lines and solid tumors: insights from single cell sequencing approaches”

    July 6, 2023 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Aneuploidy, a cancer hallmark, has intrigued researchers due to its near-universal presence in cancer. However, studying its impact is challenging due to the involvement of numerous genes and the difficulty in creating suitable models. Advances in sequencing technology and the vast data available in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) enabled us to use the p53-null […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Adding Actuation to Found Material: A Design Methodology”

    July 6, 2023 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Engineers in modern society are taught to design and build structures and robots from pre-processed materials, giving them the ability to describe the operating capacity of their structure with a high degree of certainty. From a disaster recovery and robust systems point of view, this is a severe limitation. Rather than use processed material of […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Data-Driven Model Discovery for Non-Equilibrium Phenomena: Unraveling Continuum Behavior from Stochastic Dynamics”

    July 10, 2023 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM /
    Towne 307 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Non-equilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous across material systems and of great technological relevance. Examples of such phenomena include diffusion processes in liquid and gases, viscoelasticity and plasticity in solids, and rheological behavior of colloidal and granular media. Despite their ubiquity and importance, the understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena remains in its infancy compared with classical equilibrium thermodynamics […]

    ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “A Robot’s Search for Meaning: Semantics as a Common Representation for Heterogeneous Robot State Estimation and Collaboration”

    July 10, 2023 @ 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Mapping and navigation have gone hand-in-hand since long before robots existed. For almost as long, maps have also been a key form of communication, allowing someone who has never been to an area to nonetheless navigate that area successfully. In the context of multi-robot systems, the maps and information that flow between robots are what […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Semantic Localization, Mapping, and Exploration by Multiple Aerial Robots”

    July 11, 2023 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Moore 212

    Traditional approaches for active mapping focus on building geometric maps. For most real-world applications, however, actionable information is related to semantically meaningful objects in the environment. We propose an approach to the active metric-semantic mapping problem that enables multiple heterogeneous robots to collaboratively build a map of the environment. The robots actively explore to minimize […]

    BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Macrophages & chromosomal instability: From unraveling immunomodulatory interactions to effects of chromosomal instability on macrophage-mediated anti-tumor response” (Brandon Hayes)

    July 11, 2023 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Dennis Discher are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Brandon Hayes. Title: Macrophages & chromosomal instability: From unraveling immunomodulatory interactions to effects of chromosomal instability on macrophage-mediated anti-tumor response Date: July 11, 2023 Time: 10:00am Location: Berger Auditorium in Skirkanich The public […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Transport and Mixing with Swimming Microorganisms in Chaotic Flows”

    July 12, 2023 @ 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM /
    Moore 212

    Microorganisms, primitive unicellular forms of life, form the basis of the food web and play crucial roles in the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Habitats of microorganisms, from oceans and lakes to soil and human intestines, are often characterized by constant fluid motion. Fluid flow exerts forces and torques on microorganisms that affect their movement and distribution, […]

    ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Discrete and Continuous Optimization for Collaborative and Multi-task Learning”

    July 14, 2023 @ 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM /
    Room 452 C, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This thesis is dedicated to addressing the challenges of robust collaborative learning and optimization in both discrete and continuous domains. With the ever-increasing scale of data and the growing demand for effective distributed learning, a multitude of obstacles emerge, including communication limitations, resilience to failures and corrupted data, limited information access, and collaboration in multi-task […]

    CBE PhD Thesis Defense: “BIJEL-Templated Advanced Functional Materials for a Sustainable Future”

    July 14, 2023 @ 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM /
    Towne 225

    Advanced functional materials comprising multiple components with nano- and microscopic features typically rely on expensive and time-consuming fabrication methods. Kinetically-trapped disordered structures provide a powerful alternate route to fabricate fault-tolerant, multi-component functional structures at scale. Developing such structures with controllable features that could serve as materials templates for various applications is of great importance. Bicontinuous […]
