Mini-symposium to celebrate the 75th anniversary of ENIAC and the birth of general-purpose computing. Automated computation has revolutionized the way we live, work, play, and connect. Join us on this […]
Physical Sciences in Oncology Center PSOC@Penn Spring 2021 Webinar Series Mondays at 12:00 noon (EST) For webinar links, please contact manu@seas.upenn.edu.
Abstract: The design of learning agents which observe, interact with, and manipulate their environment to optimize desirable behaviors is a long-standing goal in machine learning, with roots in artificial intelligence, […]
Abstract I will describe three examples investigating the use of bimetallic catalysts for reaction systems of industrial relevance and explore the origins of their improved performance. Investigation of Pd-based bimetallic […]
Abstract: A Jupyter notebook, a preprint from arXiv, and a Stack Overflow code snippet. What do they all have in common? All convey complex ideas from a writer to an […]
Abstract: Deep learning has shown promising results in robotics, but we are still far from having intelligent systems that can operate in the unstructured settings of the real world, where […]
Join us as we host an open discussion on masculinity in different cultural contexts and the intersections of race, religion and other factors which influence how we view, interpret, and […]
Synthetic composite structures, known as metamaterials, have been increasingly applied in the past two decades in numerous applications for obtaining electromagnetic characteristics far beyond naturally occurring materials. In particular, epsilon-near-zero […]
This event will be held virtually via Zoom (check email or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu). Two major challenges to the translation of cellular-based tissue-engineered therapies are the lack of adequate oxygen support […]
Abstracts: Current hardware and software systems were conceived at a time when we had scarce compute and memory resources, limited quantity of data and users, and easy hardware performance scaling […]
Abstract: Robot planning is needed for robots to perform purposeful missions in their environments. In realistic situations, planning does not simply involve getting to a desired destination without collisions, but […]
While there exist a number of mechanically sophisticated exoskeletons, prostheses, and assistive robots, with articulations similar to those of the intact human arm and hand, these devices remain limited in […]
