We discuss mechanical behavior of specific fibrous network materials, including the evolution of tension in fibrin clots, compression of pulmonary emboli, and fracture of Whatman filter paper. The first material, […]
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom We consider the problem of Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) in previously unseen realistic indoor environments. […]
Abstract Life occurs in water, and water-mediated interactions are central to biomolecular assembly processes. Synthetic materials as common as soap and shampoo also rely on water-mediated interactions. This presentation will […]
Polymer electrolytes are an important class of ion conducting materials critical to enabling various electrochemical systems. Fundamentally, ion-polymer coordination, inter-connectivity of solvation sites, and corresponding ion-solvating polymer dynamics are critical […]
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Towne 337 and Virtual attendance via Zoom Collectives in nature demonstrate behaviors that extend far beyond the capabilities of any single […]
Robots are increasingly being used to complete tasks in complex environments. To complete these tasks, two of the most fundamental choices that the robot must make are (1) task planning: […]
Given only a single picture, people are capable of inferring a mental representation that encodes rich information about the underlying 3D scene. We acquire this skill not through massive labeled […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Dennis Discher are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Jason Andrechak. Title: Leveraging Macrophage Immune Checkpoint Blockade […]
We live with a health care system that has evolved into an increasingly fragmented, primarily treatment-oriented, and now heavily burdened environment. More importantly, issues related to privacy, space, and disease […]
