    MEAM Seminar: “Propulsive Advantages of Coordinating Multiple Jets by Colonial Marine Organisms”

    October 15, 2024 @ 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Salps and siphonophores are widespread marine animals that occur in centimeters to meters-long colonial chains and employ multiple, pulsed swimming jets. We use a combination of approaches including in situ […]

    Tuesday Oct 15

    ESE Fall Seminar – “Learning-NUM: Utility Maximization in Stochastic Queueing Networks”

    October 15, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    We consider the problem of network utility maximization (NUM) and propose a new Learning-NUM framework,  where the users’ utility functions are unknown apriori and the utility function values can be […]
