CBE Seminar: “Engineering Electrochemical Reactions for Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing” (Modestino, NYU)
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The chemical industry produces more than 70,000 products (1.2 billion tons in total) via thermal processes powered by fossil fuel combustion, accounting for ~5% of the US energy utilization and >30% of the US energy-derived industrial CO2 emissions. Amongst these processes, the production of organic chemical commodities accounts for most of the energy utilization (>1200 […]
MSE Seminar: Working Safely in the Lab: Navigating Common Laboratory Hazards in MSE Research
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
EHRS Sr. Lab Safety Specialist Gwenn Allen will discuss how to work safely in the lab while navigating the changing landscape of materials science and engineering research. Her talk will cover common laboratory hazards, routes of exposure, PPE requirements, and biological safety. She will also present an overview of the University’s recent transition to Workday […]
BE Seminar: “Engineering the immune response at the molecular level” (Jamie Spangler, Johns Hopkins U.)
/
216 Moore Building
The repertoire of naturally occurring proteins is finite and many molecules induce multiple confounding effects, limiting their efficacy as therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in redesigning existing proteins or engineering entirely new proteins to address the deficiencies of molecules found in nature. Researchers have traditionally taken an unbiased approach to protein engineering, […]
Fall 2023 GRASP Seminar: GRASP Research Overview – Day 1
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
GRASP Lab faculty confirmed presentations (where appropriate their presenters)... *This is a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Wu & Chen Auditorium and virtual attendance on Zoom. Dr. Mark Yim (Welcome and Introduction) Dr. Pratik Chaudhari Dr. Kostas Daniilidis Dr. Eric Eaton Dr. Nadia Figueroa Dr. Dinesh Jayaraman Dr. Michael Posa Dr. Jianbo Shi Dr. […]
MEAM Seminar: “Viscoelastic Biopolymer Networks Model Fibrotic Niches”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Fibrosis and remodeling of extracellular matrix are involved in many diseases, such as tumors, wound healing, and chronic inflammation. During fibrosis, tissues undergo changes in their viscoelastic properties, i.e., how they resist deformation like a solid and dissipate stress over time like a fluid. Our research determines the impact of viscoelasticity on inflammation in fibrotic […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Josephson parametric amplifiers for rapid, high-fidelity measurement of solid-state qubits”
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Quantum physics puts a limit on how small the noise added by an amplifier can be. Limiting this extra noise, which causes unavoidable signal degradation, is an essential requirement for the measurement of weak electromagnetic signals in various areas of science and engineering. In particular, a nearly-quantum-limited microwave amplifier is a key tool for performing […]
ASSET Seminar: “Efficient and Targeted COVID-19 Border Testing Via Reinforcement Learning” (Hamsa Bastani, Penn)
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
ABSTRACT: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, countries relied on a variety of ad-hoc border control protocols to allow for non-essential travel while safeguarding public health: from quarantining all travellers to restricting entry from select nations based on population-level epidemiological metrics such as cases, deaths or testing positivity rates. Here we report the design and performance of […]
Fall 2023 GRASP SFI: Jim Fan, NVIDIA AI, “Generalist Agents in Open-Ended Worlds”
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Autonomous agents have made great strides in specialist domains like Atari games and Go. However, they typically learn tabula rasa in isolated environments with limited objectives, thus failing to generalize across a wide spectrum of tasks and capabilities. […]
CBE Seminar: “Improving the Sustainability of Solvent-Borne Paints and Coatings through Fundamental Studies of Polymerization Reactions” (Soroush, Drexel University)
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The global market size of paints and coatings (P&C) was US$164 Billion in 2022 and is forecast to grow to US$241Billion by 2030. A fast-growing sector in the P&C industries is acrylics. P&C should contain a solvent in order to be brushable/sprayable. However, in the case of solvent-borne P&C, their improved sustainability requires decreasing their […]
