    • CIS Seminar: “Human-AI Systems for Making Video Useful”

    /
    Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

    Video is becoming a core medium for communicating a wide range of content, including educational lectures, vlogs, and how-to tutorials. While videos are engaging and informative, they lack the familiar and useful affordances of text for browsing, skimming, and flexibly transforming information. This severely limits who can interact with video content and how they can […]

    PICS Alumni Spotlight: “Xiaoguai Li, Quantitative Modeler/Data Scientist at JPMorgan Chase & Co.”

    /
    Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

    On Wednesday, March 17 at 12:00 PICS will host an alumni spotlight featuring Xiaoguai Li, an alumni of Celia Reina’s group. Xiaoguai is currently employed as a Quantitative Modeler/Data Scientist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Xiaoguai will share what she has learned since graduation and what advice she can offer to current students.

    Spring 2021 GRASP SFI: “Considerations for Human-Robot Collaboration”

    /
    Zoom

    Abstract: The field of robotics has evolved over the past few decades. We’ve seen robots progress from the automation of repetitive tasks in manufacturing to the autonomy of mobilizing in unstructured environments to the cooperation of swarm robots that are centralized or decentralized. These abilities have required advances in robotic hardware, modeling, and artificial intelligence. […]

    MSE Seminar: “When ions meet electrons — Modeling the interfaces in Solid-State Batteries”

    /

    With the rapid development of fast Li-ion conductors, the major bottleneck for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries lies at the high interfacial resistance and Li dendrite growth. These problems require a fundamental understanding of the interfaces, where charge transfer reactions occur and electrochemistry, physics, and solid mechanics are coupled. This talk will focus on the new mechanistic […]

    ESE Seminar: “Synthetic dimensions: harnessing light’s internal degrees of freedom for quantum, nonlinear and topological photonics”

    /
    Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

    Scaling up next-generation photonic systems in a resource-efficient manner is a ubiquitous challenge for quantum technologies such as quantum networks, quantum simulation and computation, and for classical technologies such as photonic neural networks, LiDAR and communications. From a fundamental perspective, high-dimensional lattices hold promise for realizing and manipulating exotic states of light and matter, complementing […]

    ODEI Spotlight: Navigating Sizeism and Fatphobia in Academia

    /

    In this session, we’ll learn how to identify, cope with, and combat sizeism and fatphobia in academic and professional settings. This session is for those interested in learning how to better navigate discussions surrounding body image, fatphobia, and diet culture in the classroom and beyond.

    BE/Biochem/Biophys Seminar: “The Coming of Age of De Novo Protein Design” David Baker

    /

    This seminar will be held virtually on Zoom (check email or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu). This seminar is jointly hosted by the Department of Bioengineering and the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics. Proteins mediate the critical processes of life and beautifully solve the challenges faced during the evolution of modern organisms. Our goal is to design a […]

    CIS Seminar: “Bias and Representation in Sociotechnical Systems”

    /
    Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

    Algorithms play a central role in our lives today, mediating our access to civic engagement, social connections, employment opportunities, news media and more. While the sociotechnical systems deploying these algorithms—search engines, social networking sites, and others—have the potential to dramatically improve human life, they also run the risk of reproducing or intensifying social inequities and […]
