    • MEAM Seminar: “3D Printing Active Electronic Devices”

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

    The ability to three-dimensionally pattern semiconducting electronic and optoelectronic materials could provide a transformative approach to creating active electronic devices without the need for a cleanroom or conventional microfabrication facilities. This could enable the generation of active electronics on-the-fly, using only source inks and a portable 3D printer to realize electronics anywhere, anytime, including directly […]

    • ASSET Seminar: The marriage of logic and learning: will it be a happily ever after?, Jyotirmoy Deshmukh (University of Southern California)

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Presentation Abstract: Huge strides have made in the widespread adoption of autonomous and human-in-the-loop cyber-physical systems (CPS), partly fueled by dramatic improvements in learning-based techniques. An important aspect of such CPS applications is that they are safety-critical: any undesirable behavior by such systems can cause serious harm to human lives or property. The formal methods […]

    PENN GENETICS SPECIAL SEMINAR | David Sanders, PhD “A network-based blueprint for understanding condensates in health and disease” David W Sanders, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow Chemical and Biological Engineering Princeton University Zoom Link Contact Info: For more information, please contact Sadie Robinson at sarahjr@upenn.edu This is a joint seminar between the Departments of Genetics and Bioengineering

    MSE Seminar: “Metamaterials: From Invisibility Cloak to Future Extended Reality Displays”

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

    The invisibility cloak in Harry Potter and the dreams of invisibility as a superpower are no longer fiction. With the invention of metamaterials, they are theoretically and experimentally possible in real life. Metamaterials — materials that are engineered to have properties that are not found in naturally-occuring materials — allow us to overcome physical limitations. […]

    CIS Seminar: “Proofs, Cryptography and Quantum Information”

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

    Many cryptographic protocols will be rendered insecure if sufficiently powerful quantum computers are built. While this remains at least a few decades away, there is another, more immediate, problem: many widely-used security analysis techniques rely on properties of classical information that do not hold in the quantum setting, rendering the security of many schemes unclear […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Designing Interfacial Phenomena for Water, Energy, and Sustainability”

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

    Solid/water interfacial phenomena are pervasive in both natural and built environments. Heat exchangers, membrane pores, and packed bed reactors are all examples of solid/water interfaces where interfacial phenomena and small-scale fluid physics can have outsized influences on process efficacy and sustainability. Even innocuous surfaces such as reactor walls are not inert and can actively interact […]

    Spring 2023 GRASP Seminar: Henry Fuchs, UNC Chapel Hill, “Augmented Reality Glasses: a 50-year Adventure”

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

    This is an in-person only event with attendance in Raisler Lounge (Towne 225). The presenter will be in-person as well. ABSTRACT Many of us foresee of a future in which AR eyeglasses are worn all day, replacing of our current prescription eyewear. That future may not arrive for a while and predicting its benefits and […]

    ASSET Seminar: Using Large Language Models to Build Explainable Classifiers, Chris Callison-Burch (University of Pennsylvania)

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    ABSTRACT: I'll present research on using large language models (LLMs) to build explainable classifiers.   I will show off work from my PhD students and collaborators on several recent research directions: Image classification with explainable features  (https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.11158) Text classification with explainable features (work in progress) The importance of faithfulness in explanations (https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.11326) (Time permitting) A […]

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week's presenter will be in-person as well. ABSTRACT The ability of a system to correctly respond to a sudden adverse event is critical for high-level autonomy in complex, changing, or remote environments. By assuming continuing structural knowledge about […]

    ESE Spring Seminar – “Reliable Data-Driven Decision-Making Systems”

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

    Despite impressive success in domains such as vision and language, machine learning is still far from reliable integration into many challenging real-world scenarios, such as healthcare, where the coverage of existing data and the ability to collect new, diverse data are limited. This talk focuses on mathematically formulating and addressing some of the challenges in […]
