    • ASSET Seminar: Neurosymbolic Programming for Science, Swarat Chaudhuri (University of Texas at Austin)

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    PRESENTATION ABSTRACT: Neurosymbolic programming (NSP) is an emerging area of computing that bridges the fields of deep learning and program synthesis. Like in classical machine learning, the goal here is to learn functions from data. However, these functions are represented as programs that use neural network modules as well as symbolic primitives and are induced using […]

    2023 Heilmeier Award Lecture: Dr. Dani S. Bassett

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

    "On Being Curious" What is curiosity? Is it an emotion? A behavior? A cognitive process? Curiosity seems to be an abstract concept — like love, perhaps, or justice — far from the realm of those bits of nature that science can possibly address. However, contrary to intuition, leading theories of curiosity from history, philosophy, and […]

    ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Event-based Perception for Ground Vehicle Control”

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

    Autonomous vehicles rely on environmental perception to inform the system on how to act. Vision sensors, such as conventional cameras, have been at the forefront of the perception of most mobile platforms. However, conventional cameras have limitations such as high data rates, low dynamic range, and high latency. Dynamic vision sensors, such as event cameras, […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Aluminum Scandium Nitride (AlScN) Films for Microelectromechanical Systems”

    /
    Towne 307 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Advancements in wireless and sensor technology have resulted in increasing demand for piezoelectric MEMS devices in wireless handsets and base stations, automobile technology, health monitoring sensors, and environmental sensors. Due to its high-quality factor (Q), Young’s modulus, sound velocity, and low mechanical and dielectric losses, AlN is an advantageous resonator material with applications in radio […]

    MSE David P. Pope Distinguished Lecture: “Intelligentsia of Nano-Architected Hierarchical Materials”

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

      Creation of reconfigurable and multi-functional materials can be achieved by incorporating architecture into material design. In our research, we design and fabricate three-dimensional (3D) nano-architected materials that can exhibit superior and often tunable thermal, photonic, electrochemical, biochemical, and mechanical properties at extremely low mass densities (lighter than aerogels), which renders them useful and enabling […]
