    • GRASP On Robotics: “Wearable Haptic Devices for Ubiquitous Communication”

    /
    Zoom

    Abstract: Haptic devices allow touch-based information transfer between humans and intelligent systems, enabling communication in a salient but private manner that frees other sensory channels. For such devices to become ubiquitous, their physical and computational aspects must be intuitive and unobtrusive. The amount of information that can be transmitted through touch is limited in large […]

    Faculty panel for Black students in STEM at Penn

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    Find out how you can get more involved with STEM faculty and students. Learn more about STEM majors at Penn. Hosted by the Makuu Center and the SEAS Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. For more information, contact Rita Powell, rpowell@cis.upenn.edu This panel discussion was recorded and is available here for viewing.

    • MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Structures”

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

    I will present recent work on the modeling of the structural response of shape memory alloy tubes, bars, and beams. We have developed a new constitutive model that captures pseudoelastic transformation induced recoverable deformation in SMAs including the strong asymmetries in the tensile and compressive responses. Instead of introducing multiple conditions for forward phase transformation, […]

    CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Exploring the Molecular Origins of Icephilicity Using Specialized Molecular Simulations

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract: Exercising control over the formation of ice and similar crystalline structures is important in a variety of contexts, from preserving organs for transplant to preventing clathrate hydrate plugs in natural gas pipelines. To achieve this control, it is crucial to understand nucleation phenomena at the molecular level. Studies have shown that heterogeneous nucleation proceeds […]

    CBE Seminar: “Integrating Machine Learning and Multiscale Modeling in Biomedicine”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract Machine learning and multiscale modeling complement each other in a unique way, enabling us to seamlessly integrate big data and biophysical pathways and interpret the results while formulating truly predictive and generalizable models, based on both data and physics. In multiscale modeling, I have developed adaptive methods and kinetic models to simulate intracellular polymerization […]

    ODEI Spotlight: Penn Global Opportunities Fair

    /

    Thursday, February 4 | 2:00pm–8:00pm ET | Online Register Here: https://pennabroad.vfairs.com/ At the Penn Global Opportunities Fair, Penn undergraduate and graduate students from across all schools and programs are invited to explore the many exciting international initiatives, student support services, and global opportunities that make up life at Penn. You will have the opportunity to explore […]

    BE/MEAM Seminar: “Microbes in Biomechanics” (Christopher J. Hernandez)

    /

    This event will be held virtually on Zoom - check email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. The idea that mechanical stresses influence the growth and form of organs and organisms originated in the 1800s and is the basis for the modern study of biomechanics and mechanobiology. Biomechanics and mechanobiology are well studied in eukaryotic systems, […]

    GRASP On Robotics: “Designing Human Interaction with Agents and Robots”

    /
    Zoom

    Abstract: Over the last decade, the idea that robots and agents might participate meaningfully in complex group and organizational contexts has developed from a promising vision into a reality. Robots now assist humans in simple tasks such as delivery through complex, high-stakes tasks such as disaster response and surgery. In this talk, I will introduce […]

    ODEI Spotlight: Women in Data Science Philadelphia @ Penn

    /

    Support gender diversity in data science and join us (virtually, of course) for the second annual Women in Data Science Philadelphia @ Penn on February 8-12, 2021. Co-hosted by Analytics at Wharton, Wharton Customer Analytics, Penn Engineering, and the Wharton Statistics Department, this interdisciplinary event will discuss the latest advances and applications in data science and aims to inspire data scientists, […]
