• CIS Seminar: “Fast and Effective Analytics for Big Multi-Dimensional Data”

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

    Today, automated processes, Internet‑of‑Things deployments, and Web and mobile applications generate an overwhelming amount of high‑dimensional data. Meanwhile, computational resources remain limited, and advances in machine learning (ML) create a pressing need to support increasingly expensive and complex analytical tasks. Unfortunately, traditional data management techniques offer limited support for high‑dimensional data, ML tasks, and adaptation […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Agile Maneuver with Under-Actuated Millirobots”

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

    Decimeter-scale robots can use a wide range of techniques to maneuver in challenging environments in spite of lacking the actuated degrees of freedom typically seen in larger robots. Agile maneuver for these small robots greatly benefits from a high power-to-weight ratio and mechanical design which can exploit environment interactions, in addition to explicit control strategies. […]

    ESE Spring Seminar – “Advancing Precision Medicine and Precision Health with CMOS-enabled Continuous Monitoring of Molecules, Cells, and Beyond”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    “Continuous” monitoring of specific biomarkers in real-time offers longitudinal information that can enable not only rapid medical decision-making but also early disease detection. As opposed to the current end-point diagnostics approaches, such a continuous-monitoring capability introduces a new dimension in achieving precision medicine and precision health. In this talk, I will present my research contributions […]

    Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Scott Guan, Georgia Institute of Technology, “Toward Scalability in Multi-Agent Decision Making”

    /
    Levine 512

    *This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom While machine learning algorithms have led to tremendous improvements in many multi-agent domains, scalability remains one of the major challenges for multi-agent decision-making. In this talk, we will focus on two aspects of the scalability challenge: (i) number of agents, and (ii) large state space. We will […]

    CBE Seminar: “Too Small is Never Too Small: Utilizing Advanced Path Sampling Techniques to Probe the Kinetics and Mechanism of Rare Events, From Atmospheric Ice Nucleation to Ion Transport”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract More often than not, scientists are challenged with the daunting problem of measuring or computing astronomically small quantities that are related to the occurrence of rare events. A phenomenon is called a rare event when the amount of time that elapses before its occurrence is orders of magnitude longer than the time needed for […]

    ESE Spring Seminar – “Next Generation Bioelectronic Medicine: Wireless Microelectronic Systems”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The ability to understand living systems in the body and attain therapeutic effects at target organs promises to transform therapies for complex diseases and conditions that cannot be treated adequately with drug-based therapies alone. The last decade has seen rapid advances in implantable medical devices (implants), ranging from new materials to increased implant sophistication and […]

    BE Seminar: “Designer Matrices and Measurements of Cell-Matrix Remodeling” (Sarah Heilshorn)

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

    UPDATE: This seminar will be virtual only via zoom – check email for zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Cell-induced matrix remodeling is a hallmark of tissue development, disease, and regeneration. My lab has been developing biomaterials and matrix characterization methods to study these dynamic cell-matrix interactions. In designing our biomaterials, we employ protein engineering methods […]

    GRASP on Robotics: Cornelia Fermüller, University of Maryland, “Bio-inspired Motion Analysis”

    /
    Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Visual motion is a powerful cue that any animal uses, but computational vision has not fully taken advantage of it. Classically, Computer Vision and Robotics seeks to reconstruct models of the world by first computing from consecutive video frames the displacement of image points or the optical flow, and then computing from these measurements 3D […]
