The recent growth of data science has expanded its reach to an ever-growing user base of non-experts. Unfortunately, most existing systems offer limited usability and support for explanations: these systems […]
Abstract: Homo Sapiens is considered a “hyper-cooperative species,” and this aptitude for cooperation may be responsible for our dominance over the Earth. Cooperation promises great benefits, but each participant is vulnerable […]
Racism and anti-Blackness are crises that jeopardize our democracy, productivity and well-being and call into question whether we can all live together peaceably and harmoniously in a just and equitable […]
Endogenous tissue-specific stem cells are crucial regulators of tissue health throughout life, orchestrating diverse functions ranging from learning and cognition to skeletal muscle homeostasis. The local microenvironment, or stem cell […]
Emerging applications such as smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and mixed reality rely on embedded systems that are engaging with the physical environment through sensors. Building upon this connection, my vision […]
This event will be held virtually via Zoom (check email or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu). Human diseases are fundamentally multicellular in nature with many different cell types contributing to disease progression and […]
In the past decade, systems that use probabilistic proofs in real-world applications have seen explosive growth. These systems build upon some of the crown jewels of theoretical computer science---interactive proofs, […]
Don’t isolate. Congregate! Join Penn Engineering’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to meet six dynamic men and learn about how their bonds of friendship and NSBE affiliation benefited them […]
Abstract: The concept of “x-ray vision” is widely understood to be the ability to see through structures that are not transparent to the human eye. This concept would be a […]
Abstract: Many-body systems from soap bubbles to suspensions to polymers learn the drives that push them far from equilibrium. This learning has been detected with thermodynamic properties, such as work […]
