    • CIS Seminar: “Towards Embodied Visual Intelligence”

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

    What would it mean for a machine to see the world? Computer vision has recently made great progress on problems such as finding categories of objects and scenes, and poses of people in images. However, studying such tasks in isolated disembodied contexts, divorced from the physical source of their images, is insufficient to build intelligent […]

    CIS Seminar: “Language as a Scaffold for Grounded Intelligence:

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

    Abstract: Natural language can be used to construct rich, compositional descriptions of the world, highlighting for example entities (nouns), events (verbs), and the interactions between them (simple sentences). In this talk, I show how compositional structure around verbs and nouns can be repurposed to build computer vision systems that scale to recognize hundreds of thousands […]

    ESE Seminar: “Software, Architecture, and VLSI Co-Design for Efficient Task-Based Parallel Runtimes”

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

    Fast-paced changes across the computing stack are creating opportunities for innovation by bridging software, architecture, and VLSI. Cross-cutting research is challenging, but it can expose key insights that would otherwise be hidden by abstractions. In this talk, I will demonstrate a cross-stack approach to improve the efficiency of task-based parallel runtimes, which are important because […]

    BE Seminar: “Microfluidics and Immuno-Materials for Organs-on-a-Chip”

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

    This presentation will describe microfluidic technologies to conveniently produce life-like pulsatile flows along with applications to study of lung injury, enhancement of in vitro fertilization, and analysis of frequency-dependent cellular responses. The microfluidic technologies range from adaptation of piezo-electric actuator arrays from Braille displays to design of microfluidic circuits that can be designed to switch […]

    CIS Seminar: “Data Discovery: Unleashing the Value of Data”

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

    Organizations use only a small portion of all data they own. Consequently, most of the potential value is untapped. This happens because their analysts suffer a data discovery problem: when solving a task that requires data, analysts spend more time finding the relevant data than solving the task at hand. The core problem is that […]

    ESE Seminar: “Confluence of Electromagnetics, Circuits and Systems Enables The Third Wireless Revolution”

    /
    Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Integrated circuits have fueled several revolutions that have deeply impacted modern society, including the computing revolution, the internet and the first two wireless revolutions. We are at the dawn of the third wireless revolution, which I call the Wireless Mobile Reality revolution. Over the next fifteen years, new wireless paradigms spanning from radio frequencies to […]

    PICS Seminar: “Coupled Multiphysics Models of Cardiac Hemodynamics: From Fundamental Insights to Clinical Translation”

    /
    Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

      Abstract: The mammalian heart has been sculpted by millions of years of evolution into a flow pump par excellence. During the typical lifetime of a human, the heart will beat over three billion times and pump enough blood to fill over 60 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Each of these billions of cardiac cycles is itself a […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Nanoparticle Heating for Therapeutics, Regenerative Medicine and Diagnostics”

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

    Gold and iron oxide nanoparticles have unique and tunable properties that allow transduction of optical (light), or radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields to affect heating of biomaterials at multiple scales. This talk will explore the underlying physics and relative advantages of each form of nanoparticle heating for therapeutic treatment of cancer or other disease by heating […]
