    • MEAM Seminar: “Additive Manufacturing and Architected Materials”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Material properties are governed by the chemical composition and spatial arrangement of constituent elements. Over the past decade, the field of architected materials has sought to design, fabricate, and demonstrate materials with performance that is fundamentally controlled by geometry at multiple length-scales rather than chemical composition alone. There have been many advancements ranging from the […]

    MedTech Panel Series, Part 1: Executives – “From bench to boardroom”

    /

    Presented by the students of BE 370 (Medical Device Development): Come to the MedTech Panel Series to hear about these experiences and more from some of the most successful founders and CEOs in the industry! Our panelists will share their stories on how they took innovation from the bench to the boardroom and built multi-million […]

    CIS Seminar: “Making Parallelism Pervasive with the Swarm Architecture”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: Parallelism is critical to achieve high performance in modern computer systems. Unfortunately, most programs scale poorly beyond a few cores, and those that scale well often require heroic implementation efforts. This is because current architectures squander most of the parallelism available in applications and are too hard to program. I will present Swarm, a […]

    BE Grace Hopper Lecture: Powering tumor cell migration through heterogeneous microenvironments

    /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    To move through tissues, cancer cells must navigate a complex, heterogeneous network of fibers in the extracellular matrix.  This network of fibers also provides chemical, structural and mechanical cues to the resident cells.  In this talk, I will describe my lab’s efforts to understand the forces driving cell movements in the tumor microenvironment.  Combining tissue […]

    The Joy of Being Faculty: How to Apply for a Faculty Position

    /
    Heilmeier Hall (Room 100), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This professional development workshop is designed to provide Penn Engineering graduate students and postdocs with a richer understanding of what it is like to pursue a career in academia from those that have navigated the process successfully. Deputy Dean Kathleen J. Stebe (SEAS) will lead this extemporaneous panel discussions with a mix of both tenured […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Integrating Manufacturing and Topological Optimization for the Design of Architected Materials and Components”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Topology optimization has long been touted as a powerful tool capable of discovering innovative solutions to engineering design problems. It has been used to design 'structures' characterized at a range of length scales, from tens of microns (material architectures) to decameters (structures), for performance properties governed by a range of physics. Despite its tremendous potential […]

    CIS Seminar: “Towards a New Synthesis of Reasoning and Learning”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This talk discusses the role of logical reasoning in statistical machine learning. While their unification has been a long-standing and crucial open problem, automated reasoning and machine learning are still disparate fields within artificial intelligence. I will describe recent progress towards their synthesis in three facets. I start with a very practical question: how can […]

    2019 Heilmeier Lecture: “Cell-Matrix Interactions in Cancer and Fibrosis: Multiscale Chemo-Mechanical Models”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Cell invasion into the surrounding matrix from nonvascularized primary tumors is the main mechanism by which cancer cells migrate to nearby blood vessels and metastasize to eventually form secondary tumors. This process is mediated by an intricate coupling between intracellular forces and extracellular forces that depend on the stiffness of the surrounding stroma and the […]
