The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is hosting another Celebration of Diversity gala. The gathering is intended to showcase students, staff, and faculty from Penn Engineering in their cultural […]
We study the geometric mechanics of origami assemblages and investigate how geometry affects behavior and properties. Understanding origami from a structural standpoint allows for conceptualizing and designing feasible applications across […]
Recent advances in engineering science have led to new classes of medical devices with emergent mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties that offer new opportunities for interfacing with living cells. I […]
ABSTRACT: Flow matching models learn a (possibly stochastic) mapping between source and target distributions. Common paradigms include diffusion models, score matching models, and continuous normalizing flows. In this talk I […]
ABSTRACT: Artificial Intelligence is being increasingly relied on in safety-critical domains. But the predictive models underlying these systems are notoriously brittle, and trustworthy deployment remains a significant challenge. In this […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Why has autonomous driving, a task demanding significant intelligence, not met the […]
Abstract Supported noble metal catalysts are extensively used in industry and their catalytic performance is strongly affected by particle size and shape. In the last decade, supported single atoms and […]
Although machine intelligence is taking over the world, its current digital electronic platform is very inefficient in terms of energy consumption. Switching to analogue computation, which function more like human […]
Much is known about oxygen interaction with metal surfaces and about the macroscopic growth of thermodynamically stable oxides. At present, however, the transient stages of oxidation - from nucleation of […]
The rich set of mechanoreceptors found in human skin offers a versatile engineering interface for transmitting information and eliciting perceptions, potentially serving a broad range of applications in patient care […]
Note that this seminar will be held in Wu & Chen Auditorium (Levine 101). Humans and animals exhibit a range of interesting behaviors in complex environments, and it is unclear […]
Many relevant engineering fluid dynamics problems, such as turbulent flow over an airplane or transport processes in geophysical flows, contain wall-bounded regions that form boundary layers. Oftentimes, numerical and experimental […]
