    • MSE Seminar: “Future Directions in Self-Assembly for Nanopatterning”

    /

    Macromolecular self-assembly has evolved to become an important and valuable tool for bottom-up patterning and fabrication at the nanometer scale. From block copolymer lithography to nanocrystal superlattices to biomolecular assemblies, bottom-up patterning is reaching an unprecedent level of control over complex patterns at the nanoscale with an increasing degree of precision. There is no question […]

    ESE Seminar: “Engineering Quantum Processors in Silicon”

    /
    Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

    Across the globe, physicists in academia and industry alike are competing to be the first to build a scalable universal quantum computer. Amongst the multitudes of quantum computing architectures, solid-state quantum processors based on spins in silicon are emerging as a strong contender. Silicon is an ideal material to host spin qubits: it supports long […]

    Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture: “Biomanufacturing Vascularized Organoids and Functional Human Tissues” (Jennifer A. Lewis)

    /

    This lecture will be held virtually via Zoom (check email or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu). Recent protocols in developmental biology are unlocking the potential for stem cells to undergo differentiation and self-assembly to form "mini-organs," known as organoids. To bridge the gap from organoid building blocks (OBBs) to therapeutic functional tissues, integrative approaches that combine bottom-up organoid […]

    CIS Seminar: “Graph representation learning for drug discovery”

    /
    Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

    The current pandemic highlights an acute need to develop fast therapeutics against health threats. Traditional approaches to drug discovery are expensive and slow to react to pandemics. In this talk, I will discuss how to accelerate drug discovery with deep learning, and demonstrate their success in antibiotic discovery and COVID-19 drug combination design. In computational terms, […]

    Horizon 2030: Engineering Life & Life in (Bio)Engineering (Panel Discussion)

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    This panel discussion will immediately follow the Spring 2021 Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture delivered by Dr. Jennifer Lewis (details here). This webinar will be held remotely via Zoom (check email or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu for the link).

    GRASP/MEAM Seminar: “Towards Safe and Efficient Learning and Control for Physical Human Robot Interaction”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    From factories to households, we envision a future where robots can work safely and efficiently alongside humans. For robots to truly be adopted in such dynamic environments, we must i) minimize human effort while communicating and transferring tasks to robots; ii) endow robots with the capabilities of adapting to changes in the environment, in the […]

    PICS Colloquium: “Workflows, Datasets and Models for Active Discovery in Catalysis”

    /

    Abstract: Machine learning accelerated catalyst discovery efforts has seen much progress in the last few years. Datasets of computational calculations have improved, models to connect surface structure with electronic structure or adsorption energies have gotten more sophisticated, and active learning exploration strategies are becoming routine in discovery efforts. However, there are several large challenges that […]

    CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Establishing the Transient Mass Balance of Thrombosis Under Venous Flow: From A Microfluidic Approach To A Reduced Model

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract:  Coagulation kinetics are well established in well plates assays in which human plasma clots isotropically. However, less is known about thrombin kinetics and transport within clots formed under hemodynamic flow. Using microfluidic perfusion of Factor XIIa-inhibited human whole blood over a 250-micron long patch of collagen/tissue factor and immunoassays of the effluent for fragment […]
