CBE Seminar: “C4E-Computational Chemistry of Compounds for Catalysis and Energy”
MedTech Panel Series, Part 1: Executives – “From bench to boardroom”
/
Presented by the students of BE 370 (Medical Device Development): Come to the MedTech Panel Series to hear about these experiences and more from some of the most successful founders and CEOs in the industry! Our panelists will share their stories on how they took innovation from the bench to the boardroom and built multi-million […]
MSE Seminar: “Integrated Lithium Niobate Photonics”
/
Auditorium, LRSM Building
3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
CIS Seminar: “Making Parallelism Pervasive with the Swarm Architecture”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Parallelism is critical to achieve high performance in modern computer systems. Unfortunately, most programs scale poorly beyond a few cores, and those that scale well often require heroic implementation efforts. This is because current architectures squander most of the parallelism available in applications and are too hard to program. I will present Swarm, a […]
BE Grace Hopper Lecture: Powering tumor cell migration through heterogeneous microenvironments
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
To move through tissues, cancer cells must navigate a complex, heterogeneous network of fibers in the extracellular matrix. This network of fibers also provides chemical, structural and mechanical cues to the resident cells. In this talk, I will describe my lab’s efforts to understand the forces driving cell movements in the tumor microenvironment. Combining tissue […]
The Joy of Being Faculty: How to Apply for a Faculty Position
/
Heilmeier Hall (Room 100), Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This professional development workshop is designed to provide Penn Engineering graduate students and postdocs with a richer understanding of what it is like to pursue a career in academia from those that have navigated the process successfully. Deputy Dean Kathleen J. Stebe (SEAS) will lead this extemporaneous panel discussions with a mix of both tenured […]
Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Tool for Assessing Lung Transplantation Outcomes”
/
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Rahim Rizi are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Sarmad Siddiqui. The public is welcome to attend. Location: Donner Auditorium, Basement HUP.
MEAM Seminar: “Integrating Manufacturing and Topological Optimization for the Design of Architected Materials and Components”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Topology optimization has long been touted as a powerful tool capable of discovering innovative solutions to engineering design problems. It has been used to design 'structures' characterized at a range of length scales, from tens of microns (material architectures) to decameters (structures), for performance properties governed by a range of physics. Despite its tremendous potential […]
CIS Seminar: “Towards a New Synthesis of Reasoning and Learning”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This talk discusses the role of logical reasoning in statistical machine learning. While their unification has been a long-standing and crucial open problem, automated reasoning and machine learning are still disparate fields within artificial intelligence. I will describe recent progress towards their synthesis in three facets. I start with a very practical question: how can […]
2019 Heilmeier Lecture: “Cell-Matrix Interactions in Cancer and Fibrosis: Multiscale Chemo-Mechanical Models”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Cell invasion into the surrounding matrix from nonvascularized primary tumors is the main mechanism by which cancer cells migrate to nearby blood vessels and metastasize to eventually form secondary tumors. This process is mediated by an intricate coupling between intracellular forces and extracellular forces that depend on the stiffness of the surrounding stroma and the […]
CBE and Physics Joint Seminar: “Structuring Matter Over Multiple Length Scales Using the Self-assembly of Colloidal Particles”
/
David Rittenhouse Lab, A4
209 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
