MEAM Seminar: “Multi-robot Coordination Via Graph-based Computation”
/
Towne 337
Multi-robot coordination and cooperation are critical behaviors that improve team performance and enable new tasks in application areas like autonomous construction, agriculture, and extended operation in large unknown regions. This talk explores the utility of graph-based modeling and computational frameworks to improve the coordination and cooperation of multi-robot teams in a variety of problems. I […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Design and Self-Reconfiguration Planning for Variable Topology Truss Robots”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
A modular self-reconfigurable robot (MSRR) is a set of robotic building blocks that can be connected together in different ways. By rearranging these connections, the robot can adapt its shape to address a wider variety of tasks than a robot with a fixed morphology. However, traditional modular architectures fail to scale up to address large-scale […]
BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Novel Applications of In Vivo Assays, Microdialysis and Photoacoustic Ultrasound, Throughout Rat Achilles Tendon Injury and Healing” (Joseph Newton)
/
CRB Auditorium

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Louis Soslowsky are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Joseph Newton. Title: Novel Applications of In Vivo Assays, Microdialysis and Photoacoustic Ultrasound, Throughout Rat Achilles Tendon Injury and Healing Date and Time: June 29th, 10:00am EST Location: CRB Austrian Auditorium Zoom: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/93571878070?pwd=c2NIN1A5Zmw2M0lZSnQ0d3hmMG52UT09 The […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Chemical vapor deposition synthesis of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides and their applications”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
2D materials is a rapidly expanding class of materials that have captivated academia and industry with their ultrathin nature and remarkable properties. Graphene, the first discovered material, shows exceptional mechanical strength and superior electrical properties, presenting exciting probabilities in many applications. Combined with its large surface area and biocompatibility, graphene is particularly promising for the […]
CBE PhD Thesis Defense: “Comparative analysis of aneuploidy in suspension cancer lines and solid tumors: insights from single cell sequencing approaches”
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Aneuploidy, a cancer hallmark, has intrigued researchers due to its near-universal presence in cancer. However, studying its impact is challenging due to the involvement of numerous genes and the difficulty in creating suitable models. Advances in sequencing technology and the vast data available in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) enabled us to use the p53-null […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Adding Actuation to Found Material: A Design Methodology”
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Engineers in modern society are taught to design and build structures and robots from pre-processed materials, giving them the ability to describe the operating capacity of their structure with a high degree of certainty. From a disaster recovery and robust systems point of view, this is a severe limitation. Rather than use processed material of […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Data-Driven Model Discovery for Non-Equilibrium Phenomena: Unraveling Continuum Behavior from Stochastic Dynamics”
/
Towne 307
220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Non-equilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous across material systems and of great technological relevance. Examples of such phenomena include diffusion processes in liquid and gases, viscoelasticity and plasticity in solids, and rheological behavior of colloidal and granular media. Despite their ubiquity and importance, the understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena remains in its infancy compared with classical equilibrium thermodynamics […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “A Robot’s Search for Meaning: Semantics as a Common Representation for Heterogeneous Robot State Estimation and Collaboration”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Mapping and navigation have gone hand-in-hand since long before robots existed. For almost as long, maps have also been a key form of communication, allowing someone who has never been to an area to nonetheless navigate that area successfully. In the context of multi-robot systems, the maps and information that flow between robots are what […]
