MEAM Seminar: “Multiplying the Coolness of Gels: Messy Networks, Double Networks, and More”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Many materials we eat, spread, squeeze, or 3D print are gels, soft amorphous solids whose solid component comprises self-assembled networks of particles, fibers, or agglomerates of proteins, polymers, and colloids. […]

ESE Fall Seminar – “Developing Custom Portable Low-Field MRI for Point-of-Care Imaging”
/
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
MRI remains the gold standard in neuroimaging, but its high costs, large footprint, and infrastructure requirements limit deployment in many settings—including intensive care units (ICUs), emergency vehicles, and neonatal intensive […]

Penn AI Presents: “How Brains and Machines Solve the Binding Problem”
/
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414
3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States
Despite decades of research, we still do not know how the brain integrates the many features of an object into a coherent whole, or whether artificial systems perform similar binding. […]
