Abstracts: Current hardware and software systems were conceived at a time when we had scarce compute and memory resources, limited quantity of data and users, and easy hardware performance scaling […]
Abstract: Robot planning is needed for robots to perform purposeful missions in their environments. In realistic situations, planning does not simply involve getting to a desired destination without collisions, but […]
While there exist a number of mechanically sophisticated exoskeletons, prostheses, and assistive robots, with articulations similar to those of the intact human arm and hand, these devices remain limited in […]

Abstract: We will describe two separate but related methodologies that have been implemented in the open source, finite element code ASPECT, which computational geophysicists use to model a wide variety […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. D. Kacy Cullen are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Dayo Adewole. Title: Microtissue Engineered Neural Networks […]
Wide bandgap electronics are currently under development due to their potential to create some of the most advanced RF and power electronics in the world. A key concern in their […]
Abstract: In this talk, we will cover some exciting progress on the problem of Indistinguishability Obfuscation (proposed by Barak et. al. 2001). In a nutshell, an Indistinguishability Obfuscation scheme is […]
Abstract Biological molecules rarely act alone. For example, in many pediatric cancers, a chromosomal rearrangement results in a fusion protein with altered DNA and protein interactions that yield proliferative and […]
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 […]
