    • MEAM Seminar: MEAM Faculty Research Overview

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

    Please join us on Tuesday, September 13 for a series of short research talks by MEAM faculty.  Five MEAM faculty will give "flash talks" to introduce their research activities and recent work.  This is an excellent opportunity for current graduate students to learn about ongoing research in the Department.

    /
    JMB Reunion Auditorium 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Lou Soslowsky are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Zak Beach. Title:  Biomechanical Evaluation of the Role of Decorin and Biglycan during Neonatal Tendon Development and Healing Date: Tuesday, September 13, 2022 Time:  2pm-3pm Location: JMB Class of 62 Auditorium

    ASSET Seminar: When Will You Become the Best Reviewer of Your Own Papers? A Truthful Owner-Assisted Scoring Mechanism (Weijie Su, University of Pennsylvania)

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Presentation Abstract:  Alice submits a number of papers to a machine learning conference and has knowledge of the quality of her papers. Given noisy grades provided by independent reviewers, can Bob obtain accurate estimates of the ground-truth quality of the papers by asking Alice a question about the ground truth? In this talk, we address […]

    Fall 2022 GRASP SFI: Herbert Tanner, University of Delaware, “Networked aerial detection of mobile radiation sources”

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    *This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom here… Mobile robotic sensor networks promise cutting edge technological solutions to a broad collection of real-world observation, detection, and decision-making problems, in domains ranging from environmental monitoring, to emergency response, to national security. Nuclear nonproliferation is a particular […]

    ESE Fall Colloquium – “Steampunk Data Science”

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

    How did scientists make sense of data before statistics and computing? This talk will explore this question by focusing on the discovery of vitamins, which occurred in the early 20th century just before the advent of modern statistical methodology. I will describe the varied practices in experimentation and reporting and highlight the sorts of insights […]

    MSE Seminar: “Bioinstructive Materials Regulate Inflammation in Cancer and Regeneration”

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

    Fibrosis and remodeling of extracellular matrix are involved in many diseases, such as tumors, wound healing, and chronic inflammation. During fibrosis, tissues undergo changes in their viscoelastic properties, i.e., how they resist deformation like a solid and dissipate stress over time like a fluid. My research program determines the impact of viscoelasticity on inflammation in […]

    BE/MEAM Seminar: “Synthetic Embryology for Constructing Human Embryo and Organ Models” (Jianping Fu, University of Michigan)

    /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This is a hybrid seminar held in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom. Check email for the zoom link or contact cd0318@seas.upenn.edu. "Synthetic Embryology for Constructing Human Embryo and Organ Models" Early human development remains mysterious and difficult to study.  Recent advances in developmental biology, stem cell biology, and bioengineering have contributed to a […]

    Theory Seminar- Aaron Roth (University of Pennsylvania)

    /
    Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: Dawid gives two conceptualizations for models of individual probabilities: “Group to Individual” and “Individual to Group”. A classical concern about the “Group to Individual” view of probability is the reference class problem: Given that we can empirically measure only averages over many individuals, which group or “reference class” do we choose to average over […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Open Access Benchmark Datasets and Metamodels for Problems in Mechanics”

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

    Metamodels, or models of models, map defined model inputs to defined model outputs. When metamodels are constructed to be computationally cheap, they are an invaluable tool for applications ranging from topology optimization, to uncertainty quantification, to real-time prediction, to multi-scale simulation. In particular, for heterogeneous materials, metamodels are useful for exploring the influence of the […]
