Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is a fundamental problem for robots interacting with a novel environment and has been a densely studied area of research for several decades. The modern paradigm […]
Abstract: Magnetically actuated microrobots composed of dynamic assemblies of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) offer versatile opportunities for biomedical applications. While such assemblies can reconfigure and perform diverse tasks under applied […]
A mystery of large language models (LLMs) is their ability to solve novel tasks, notably through a few demonstrations in the prompt (in-context learning). Such tasks often require the model […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Generating high-quality photo-realistic visual content is a thriving area of research. In this […]
Abstract: Canonical models suggest that regulatory enhancers function independently of genomic distance, position, and orientation to activate the target gene. Indeed, a wide range of genomic distances and relative enhancer […]
Mechanical loading is essential for skeletal growth, maintenance, and repair, yet the mechanisms that regulate bone mechanoadaptation remain incompletely understood. Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), […]
Biological tissues are complex materials where the spatial arrangement of multiple components (i.e., extracellular matrix, cells) is tightly linked to their function. For example, osteochondral tissues contain discrete biochemical and […]
Quantum software can be a force multiplier that can significantly shorten the timeline for utility-scale results from quantum hardware. In particular, several key research directions will help realize practical quantum […]
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98220304722 The analysis of gradient-based learning of Neural Networks remains an outstanding challenge, even for the simplest shallow architectures. A powerful mathematical framework that has emerged over recent […]
Abstract: Cell confinement and mechanical stress are common in solid tumors, but any impact on genetic changes remains unclear. Using chromosome reporters (ChReporters) that reveal heritable losses of chromosomes in […]
Soft robotic systems, constructed from compliant and adaptive materials, offer advantages such as safe interaction with humans, flexibility in motion, and the ability to conform to unstructured environments. These capabilities […]
