    • PICS Seminar: “Impact of Non-Native Structures in Ionic Liquid-Ionic Liquid Mixtures on Phase Equilibria Properties of Gases”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Ionic liquids are substances that are composed entirely of ions. Negligible vapor pressures and the availability of a large number of cations and anions to tune physicochemical and biological properties for a given chemical process have been the primary drivers for research in this field over the last two decades. Majority of these investigations have […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Fault-Tolerant Control on VTOL Aircraft”

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

    High-speed rotorcraft such as coaxial compound helicopters have a significant degree of control redundancy that can be exploited to minimize power requirement, noise, and vibration, in various flight conditions. This lecture focuses on a new idea – how control redundancy can be leveraged to compensate for control actuation failure. Both adaptive as well as robust […]

    • Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Automated analysis of experience-dependent sensory response behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans”

    /
    Moore 212

    The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Christopher Fang-Yen are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Patrick McClanahan. Title: Automated analysis of experience-dependent sensory response behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans Date: Thursday, May 9th, 2019 Time: 10:30 AM Location: Moore 212 The public is welcome to attend

    ESE & GRASP Seminar: “Efficient Computing for AI and Robotics”

    /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Computing near the sensor is preferred over the cloud due to privacy and/or latency concerns for a wide range of applications including robotics/drones, self-driving cars, smart Internet of Things, and portable/wearable electronics. However, at the sensor there are often stringent constraints on energy consumption and cost in addition to the throughput and accuracy requirements of […]

    ESE Seminar: ERI: Creating Inflections in the Trajectory of Semiconductors

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

    The government is spending 1.5 billion dollars over 5 years to create a more secure, specialized and highly automated electronics industry. This talk will describe the current programs and the motivation for the initiative.

    MEAM Seminar: “Tribofilms at the Asperity Scale”

    /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The presentation will start with an introduction to tribology. This term was first used in a 1965 UK government report which identified the economic loss due to preventable wear and poor friction performance. It helped bring together the diverse community of engineers and scientists that need to collaborate in order to tackle the complex interactions […]
