In recent years, micro-robotic membranes have attracted increasing interest due to their unique properties and potential applications in various fields. The optical properties of these membranes have been playing a […]
Superhydrophobic surfaces, formed by air entrapment within the cavities of hydrophobic solid substrates, offer a promising potential for hydrodynamic drag reduction. In several of the prototypical surface geometries the flows […]
Learn about sustainable products and practices your caterer can implement to reduce waste, minimize plastic and lower carbon footprint. Planet-friendly menu Plastic-alternative packaging and utensils Nutrition label for customized eating […]
Robots struggle to understand object properties like shape, material, and semantics due to limited prior knowledge, hindering manipulation in unstructured environments. In contrast, humans learn these properties through interactive multi-sensor […]
This talk will explore methods for accelerating numerical optimization constrained by transient problems using parallelism. Two types of transient problems will be considered. In the first case training algorithms for […]
ABSTRACT: Language models work well, but they are far from trustworthy. Major open questions remain on high-stakes issues such as detecting benchmark contamination, identifying LM-generated text, and reliably generating factually […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Decades of rigorous research in dynamical systems and control helped us integrate […]
Abstract The richness of liquid-liquid phase separation behavior in mixtures of oppositely-charged polyelectrolyte has been greatly illuminated recently in the polymer physics literature. Precise determinations of phase diagrams, measurements of […]
Join us at the University of Pennsylvania for an event co-organized by the Mack Institute for Innovation Management and the City of Philadelphia Department of Commerce. This event is set to explore and […]
Despite the recent flurry of work employing machine learning to develop surrogate models to accelerate scientific computation, the "black-box" underpinnings of current techniques fail to provide the verification and validation […]
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technology invented in 1991 to image small critical tissue structures throughout the body with micrometer resolution. It is widely used in the management of […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Foundation models, trained on vast and diverse data encompassing the human experience, are […]
