*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom While machine learning algorithms have led to tremendous improvements in many multi-agent domains, scalability remains one of the major challenges for multi-agent decision-making. In this talk, we will focus on two aspects of the scalability challenge: (i) number of agents, and (ii) large state space. We will […]
Abstract More often than not, scientists are challenged with the daunting problem of measuring or computing astronomically small quantities that are related to the occurrence of rare events. A phenomenon is called a rare event when the amount of time that elapses before its occurrence is orders of magnitude longer than the time needed for […]

The ability to understand living systems in the body and attain therapeutic effects at target organs promises to transform therapies for complex diseases and conditions that cannot be treated adequately with drug-based therapies alone. The last decade has seen rapid advances in implantable medical devices (implants), ranging from new materials to increased implant sophistication and […]
UPDATE: This seminar will be virtual only via zoom – check email for zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Cell-induced matrix remodeling is a hallmark of tissue development, disease, and regeneration. My lab has been developing biomaterials and matrix characterization methods to study these dynamic cell-matrix interactions. In designing our biomaterials, we employ protein engineering methods […]

Visual motion is a powerful cue that any animal uses, but computational vision has not fully taken advantage of it. Classically, Computer Vision and Robotics seeks to reconstruct models of the world by first computing from consecutive video frames the displacement of image points or the optical flow, and then computing from these measurements 3D […]
Abstract: Turbulence is an unsolved problem in classical physics. Its modeling often involves physical, mathematical, and numerical concepts that are daunting to even experienced engineers. This makes it very hard for a user to take a turbulence model from the literature and apply it in real-world engineering. This talk will take a layman's perspective to […]

Inspiration from animal function can lead to effective design of engineered systems. Ocean systems benefit especially as operation in a heavy medium such as water imparts significant forces. We provide two examples of biomimetic design. In the first example, morphing fins inspired from tunas are used to dynamically change the directional stability qualities of rigid […]
