MSE Thesis Defense: “High Loading Oxide Anodes for Lithium Ion Batteries via a Superelastic Graphene Composite Approach”
MEAM Seminar: “Dynamical Systems Approach to Geophysical and Aerospace Flows”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
A dynamical systems approach is taken to explain the dynamics of two classes of ‘gap-leaping’ geophysical flow as well as the hypersonic second-mode instability. First, in the context of a […]
CBE Seminar: “Complexity in the Chemistry and Physics of Lipid Membranes as a Handle to Activate the Delivery of Cargo to Cells”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Lipid materials having nanostructures that deviate from the conventional flat bilayer arrangement such as hexagonally packed lipid tubes and bi-continuous cubic phases are ubiquitous in nature. Their role remains elusive but over […]
PRiML Seminar: “Building Algorithms by Playing Games”
/
Room 401B, 3401 Walnut
3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
A very popular trick for solving certain types of optimization problems is this: write your objective as the solution of a two-player zero-sum game, endow both players with an appropriate learning […]
MEAM Seminar: “Engineering Microdevices Using Atomic Layer Deposition and Electrowetting”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This talk will cover 1) devices created one atomic layer at a time and 2) electrowetting optical elements. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) are self-limiting processes […]
ESE & Statistics Seminar: “Large Neural Networks: Insights from Linearized Models”
/
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor
3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Modern machine learning models, and in particular multilayer neural networks, exhibit a broad range of puzzling phenomena. Their training requires to minimize a highly non-convex high-dimensional cost function, and […]
CBE Seminar: “Evolution of the Conformational-free Energy Landscapes of Proteins”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: One of the holy grails of drug-design is to obtain high-selectivity binding of a drug to the target protein, an extremely challenging endeavor for proteins that share high sequence […]
MSE Professional Development Seminar: “Interviewing with Confidence”
/
Auditorium, LRSM Building
3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
CIS Seminar: “What Society Must Require from AI”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, especially machine learning (ML) programs, are now being employed or proposed for use in: a) scanning résumés to weed out job applicants; b) evaluating risks […]
PSOC Seminar : Collagen architecture regulates metabolic stress and collective invasion
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
MEAM Seminar: “Robot Design Concepts for Intuitive Physical Human-robot Interaction”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) aims at taking advantage of the complementary capabilities of robots and humans. One of the key challenges in pHRI is to provide a high-bandwidth human-robot interaction […]
