    • CBE Seminar: “Engineering Bacteria to Expand the Chemistry of Life”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract In living organisms, translation of genetic information by the ribosome transforms the information embedded in DNA into actuating components, namely proteins. Though life itself is incredibly diverse at the macroscopic level, at the molecular level, all of life uses the same set of machinery for translation - 20 standard amino acid building blocks (with […]

    Spring 2021 GRASP SFI: “Using Social Robots and Computer Vision to Augment Telerehabilitation”

    /
    Zoom

    Abstract: With the shortage of rehabilitation clinicians in rural areas and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, remote rehabilitation (telerehab) fills an important gap in access to rehabilitation, especially for the treatment of adults and children experiencing upper arm disability due to stroke and cerebral palsy. We propose the use of a socially assistive humanoid robot coupled […]

    BE Seminar: “Multi-input Chemical Control With Computationally Designed Proteins for Research Tools and Cell Therapies” (Glenna Wink Foight)

    /

    This event will be held virtually via Zoom - check email for details or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu Protein modules that are responsive to small molecule inputs have enabled control of cellular processes for decades’ worth of important mechanistic studies. More recently, they have gained attention as a means of control for improved safety of cellular therapies. […]

    ODEI Spotlight: USABE Research Opportunities Panel

    /

    Interested in getting involved in research but don't know where to start? USABE will be hosting a virtual Research Opportunities Panel featuring current Penn engineering students and alumni who will share their own research experiences, both on and off-campus, as well as opportunities for research that are available to students. We will also have a […]

    GRASP On Robotics: “Billiard-Like Robots: Let Them Be Unstable and Unobservable!”

    /
    Zoom

    Abstract: This talk will highlight our work over the past decade on controlling robots by giving them simple rules to reflect off of obstacles in their environment. This line of work pushes the extreme limits of minimalism and is suitable for scenarios where there are limited sensing and actuation capabilities, such as consumer security robots […]

    CIS Seminar: “Structural Foundations of Efficient Reinforcement Learning:

    /
    Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

    Abstract: The design of learning agents which observe, interact with, and manipulate their environment to optimize desirable behaviors is a long-standing goal in machine learning, with roots in artificial intelligence, adaptive experimental design and adaptive feedback control. In machine learning, these questions are typically studied in the area of reinforcement learning (RL), which has seen […]

    CBE Seminar: “Insights into Active Site Structures for Bimetallic Heterogeneous Catalysts”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract I will describe three examples investigating the use of bimetallic catalysts for reaction systems of industrial relevance and explore the origins of their improved performance. Investigation of Pd-based bimetallic catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene and for hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane will be explored. Additionally, Pt-based bimetallic catalysts for the hydrogenation of a model […]
