MEAM Seminar: “Hardware / Controls Co-design to Overcome Challenges for Aerial Robots”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Aerial robotics have become ubiquitous, but (like most robots) they still struggle to operate at high speed in unstructured, cramped environments. By considering a vehicle's mechanical design simultaneously with the […]

CIS Seminar: “Modeling Atoms to Address Our Climate Crisis”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Climate change is a societal and political problem whose impact could be mitigated by technology. Underlying many of its technical challenges is a surprisingly simple yet challenging problem; modeling the […]

ASSET Seminar: “Copyright, Machine Learning Research, and the Generative-AI Supply Chain” (A. Feder Cooper, Cornell University)
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
ABSTRACT: “Does generative AI infringe copyright?” is an urgent question. It is also a difficult question, for two reasons. First, “generative AI” is not just one product from one company. […]

CBE Seminar: “Structure-Independent Peptide Binder Design via Generative Language Models” (Chatterjee, Duke University)
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The ability to modulate pathogenic proteins represents a powerful treatment strategy for diseases. Unfortunately, many proteins are considered "undruggable" by small molecules, and are often intrinsically disordered, precluding the usage […]
