    • CBE Seminar: “The Role of Utilization in Meeting Mid-Century Carbon Removal Targets”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract The utilization of CO2 broadly applies to any process that transforms captured CO2 into valuable products. These processes strive to achieve any of the following objectives: (1) permanent storage (2) revenue generation and/or (3) avoiding emissions of conventional products with high amounts of embodied carbon. This talk will explore how carbon utilization can be […]

    MSE Seminar: “Nano-Volumetric Materials Properties of Ferroelectrics and Photovoltaics via Tomographic AFM”

    /

    Nano- and meso- scale materials properties are crucial to the macroscopic performance of a wide range of functional and photovoltaic devices. In 2-dimensions, photoconductivity, ferroelectricity, and even domain dynamics have thus been investigated for decades now especially using variations of Atomic Force Microscopy. Our work and others reveals how these properties are frequently mediated by […]

    MEAM Seminar: “How to Make Your Ocean Smarter”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Our oceans drive worldwide weather-climate systems; our rivers serve as nutrient conduits; and our marine ecosystems house the largest repository of biodiversity and mineral resources on the planet. Humans have relied on rivers, lakes, and oceans for transportation, energy generation, farming, and recreation throughout our history. And today, robots are critical tools in our stewardship […]

    CIS Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture:”Video Data Management: From Data Models to Data Storage and Benchmarking.”

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

    The proliferation of inexpensive high-quality cameras coupled with recent advances in machine learning and computer vision have enabled new applications on video data. This in turn has renewed interest in video data management systems. In this talk, we explore several challenges related to video data management. We start by discussing data models. How should we […]

    SIG Seminar:”From Bits to Bricks – Bridging Building Energy Modeling and Simulation with Graphics”

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

    Computer graphics is often used to visualize complex imagery for the film and game industries, however, computer graphics can also be used to solve a diverse set of transdisciplinary problems. In this talk, I will introduce research that bridges building energy modeling and simulation and computer graphics. Buildings are a leading contributor to total energy […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “All-Passive Hardware Architectures for Neuromorphic Computation”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Human brains demonstrate how simple computational primitives can be combined in massively parallel ways to produce networks capable of identifying complicated patterns in sensory data. In contrast, electronic computers adopt hardware architectures that process information serially, leading to higher latency and power consumption when implementing intrinsically parallel algorithms, such as neural networks. This software-hardware architectural […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Bilevel Optimization for Control, Learning, and Multi-contact Robotics”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Whether operating in a manufacturing plant or assisting within the home, many robotic tasks requires safe and controlled interaction with a complex and changing world. In this talk, I will present our recent progress on learning and control in contact rich settings. In the first segment, I will show how integrating the non-smooth structure of […]

    ESE Seminar: “A New Era of Open-Source System-on-Chip Design”

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

    Open-source software has been a critical enabler for tremendous innovation in the software ecosystem over the past two decades. Inspired by this success, open-source hardware involves making the high-level description of hardware components freely available for others to study, change, distribute, and ultimately use in fabricating their own hardware components. Unfortunately, open-source hardware has had […]

    Neuroengineering/BE Seminar: “Photovoltaic Restoration of Sight in Age-related Macular Degeneration” (Daniel Palanker)

    /

    Presented by The Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics Presents and The Bioengineering Department. Check email for zoom link or Everett Prince at eprince@seas.upenn.edu. Retinal degenerative diseases lead to blindness due to loss of the “image capturing” photoreceptors, while neurons in the “image-processing” inner retinal layers are relatively well preserved. Information can be reintroduced into the […]

    CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | 3D Porous High Areal Capacity Lithium-ion Micro-Batteries Enabled by Electrochemical Techniques

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract: This study involves design and fabrication of scalable, high surface area, and porous 3D metal network-based Li-ion micro-batteries with energy and power that meet the demands of commercial microelectronics. A facile high current hydrogen-templated electroplating technique is utilized to generate 3D structures millimeter scale in z-direction through a facile route, which serve as the […]
