    • CIS: Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture: “A 2020 Vision of U.S. Election Security”

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

    Abstract: Despite the provision of a $380M federal grant to enhance technology and improve security in the 2018 midterm elections, machine failures and computer malfunctions again plagued polling places (in […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Origami Micro, Bio, and Nanosystems “

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

    Due to the inherent planarity of conventional micro and nanofabrication, it is challenging to pattern and assemble micro, bio, and nano-materials and devices in all three dimensions. Origami inspired mechanical […]

    ESE Seminar: “Enabling the SmartGrid with IoT Sensors and Edge-Cloud Analytics”

    /
    PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: Wireless sensors and edge-cloud analytics have the potential to gather and process vast amounts of data about the physical world, offering radical new insights about everything from critical infrastructure […]

    CIS Seminar: “Reducing Errors in Quantum Computation via Program Transformation”

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

    Abstract: Quantum computing promises exponential speedups for an important class of problems. While quantum computers with few dozens of qubits have been demonstrated, these machines suffer from high rate of […]

    CBE Seminar: “Soft, Wet, and Sticky: Viscous Forces and Elasticity in Wet Adhesion”

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

    Abstract: Understanding and harnessing the coupling between lubrication pressure, elasticity, and surface interactions provides materials design strategies for applications such as adhesives, coatings, microsensors, and biomaterials. This presentation will discuss our […]

    MSE Seminar: “Exploring Photonic Materials with Symmetry and Topology”

    /
    Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Symmetry and topology are fundamental notions existing in all kinds of natural systems, from spiral galaxies and hurricanes to amino acids in molecules and non-trivial topologically protected electronic states in […]

    BE Seminar: “Nanofluidic Technologies for Biomolecule Manipulation”

    /
    PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    In the last 20 years, microfabrication techniques have allowed researchers to miniaturize tools for a plethora of bioanalytical applications.  In addition to better sensitivity, accuracy and precision, scaling down the […]

    CIS Seminar: ” Flash Boys 2.0: Frontrunning, Transaction Reordering, and Consensus Instability in Decentralized Exchanges”

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

    Abstract: Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are often heralded as the keys to a new era of financial transparency and fairness. Decentralized exchanges (DEXes), in particular, run directly on blockchains. They manage custody of traded […]

    PICS Seminar: “Molecular Simulation and Machine Learning as Routes to Exploring Structure and Phase Behavior in Atomic and Molecular Crystals”

    /
    PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: Organic molecular crystals frequently exist in multiple forms known as polymorphs. Structural differences between crystal polymorphs can affect desired properties, such as bioavailability of active pharmaceutical formulations, lethality of […]
