Doctoral Dissertation Defense – Spencer Averbeck “Advancing neural interface technologies for high-fidelity cortical recording and stimulation”
ASSET Seminar: “Formal Methods for Language Model Systems”
/
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414
3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States
Formal methods are often dismissed as too rigid, complex, or unscalable for frontier language model systems (e.g., LLMs, VLMs, agentic systems). In this talk, I will challenge this assumption with […]
MSE Seminar: “Polymer Chain-End Chemistry: Unlocking Next-Generation Functional Materials”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
End-group functionalization has become a powerful and versatile strategy in polymer science, enabling precise control over physical properties, nanoscale self-assembly, and interfacial functionality without modifying the polymer backbone. In our […]
BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense – David Gonzalez-Martinez, “Dissecting mechanisms and consequences of oncogenic RTK fusion signaling”
/
Class of 62 Auditorium, John Morgan Building
3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA
MEAM Seminar: “Nonlinear Modeling, Synthesis, and Design-for-Additive Manufacturing of Smart Compliant Mechanisms”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Compliant mechanisms have been the subject of intense research in recent decades. Making compliant mechanisms “smart” to form flexible, adaptive structures is the focus of my research group, with applications […]
ESE 2026 Jack Keil Wolf Lecture – “Convex Optimization”
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Convex optimization has emerged as useful tool for applications that include data analysis and model fitting, machine learning and statistics, resource allocation, engineering design, network design and optimization, finance, and […]
MEAM Seminar: “Constitutive Modeling of Rubbery Networks: From Microscale Physics to Macroscopic Behavior”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Rubbery polymer networks, including elastomers and hydrogels, are increasingly employed in advanced applications such as biomedical implants, drug delivery systems, and smart sensors and actuators. Their macroscopic mechanical properties, such […]

/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This event will be in-person ONLY in Wu and Chen Auditorium. ABSTRACT A hallmark of human vision is the ability to reason about the physics of the world: we can […]
PICS Colloquium: “Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion-Dynamics Modeling of whole systems: application to fibrin clot contraction and fibrin clot rupture” with Valeri Barsegov
/
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor
3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion-Dynamics Model (SRDDM) for particle-based simulations of mechanochemical processes for thermodynamically large systems with high spatial and temporal resolution will be presented. The SRDDM couples the spatially inhomogeneous […]
