PSOC Spring 2019 Seminar Series: Theresa Whitehead, Ph.D.

ESE Seminar: “From Nanotech to Living Sensors: Unraveling the Spin Physics of Biosensing at the Nanoscale”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
I am a quantum engineer interested in how quantum physics informs biology at the nanoscale. As a physicist, I have developed high-performance nanosensors that essentially worked due to room-temperature quantum […]

ESE Seminar: “Towards Robotic Manipulation – Understanding the World Through Contact”
/
Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall
210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Why is robotic manipulation so hard? As humans, we are unrivaled in our ability to dexterously manipulate objects and exhibit complex skills seemingly effortlessly. Recent research in cognitive science suggests […]

ESE Seminar: “Ultra-Low-Power Neural Interfaces: from Monitoring to Diagnosis and Therapy”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Implantable and wearable medical devices are increasingly being developed as alternative therapies for intractable diseases. In particular, undertreated neurological disorders such as epilepsy, migraine, and Alzheimer’s disease are of major […]

CIS Seminar: “Towards Embodied Visual Intelligence”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
What would it mean for a machine to see the world? Computer vision has recently made great progress on problems such as finding categories of objects and scenes, and poses […]

CIS Seminar: “Language as a Scaffold for Grounded Intelligence:
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Natural language can be used to construct rich, compositional descriptions of the world, highlighting for example entities (nouns), events (verbs), and the interactions between them (simple sentences). In this […]

ESE Seminar: “Software, Architecture, and VLSI Co-Design for Efficient Task-Based Parallel Runtimes”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Fast-paced changes across the computing stack are creating opportunities for innovation by bridging software, architecture, and VLSI. Cross-cutting research is challenging, but it can expose key insights that would otherwise […]

BE Seminar: “Microfluidics and Immuno-Materials for Organs-on-a-Chip”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This presentation will describe microfluidic technologies to conveniently produce life-like pulsatile flows along with applications to study of lung injury, enhancement of in vitro fertilization, and analysis of frequency-dependent cellular […]


CIS Seminar: “Data Discovery: Unleashing the Value of Data”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Organizations use only a small portion of all data they own. Consequently, most of the potential value is untapped. This happens because their analysts suffer a data discovery problem: when […]
