    ASSET Seminar: “Reasoning Myths about Language Models: What is Next?” (Dan Roth, University of Pennsylvania)

    April 17, 2024 @ 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    ABSTRACT:  The rapid progress made over the last few years in generating linguistically coherent natural language has blurred, in the mind of many, the difference between natural language generation, understanding, and the ability to reason with respect to the world. Nevertheless, robust support of high-level decisions that depend on natural language understanding, and one that […]

    ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Cellular Cosheaves, Graphic Statics, and Mechanics”

    April 17, 2024 @ 2:00 PM /
    Greenberg Lounge (Room 114), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Methods from algebraic topology enable simplifications and extensions of fundamental concepts in structural and mechanical engineering. Chief among these tools are cellular sheaves and cosheaves - abstract mathematical data structures over polyhedra and discrete spaces. The homology of cellular cosheaves (and cohomology of cellular sheaves) combines and distills distributed data into the most meaningful algebraic-topological […]

    Spring 2024 GRASP SFI: Karl Pertsch, University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, “Building Open-Source Generalist Robot Policies”

    April 17, 2024 @ 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM /
    Towne 337

    This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Towne 337 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Generalist robot policies, trained on large and diverse robot datasets, have the potential to transform how robot learning research is done: in the same way that current models in NLP are almost universally derived from pretrained large […]

    CBE Seminar: “Creating Real Steak Without the Cow: Using Insights from Wine and Biopharmaceutical Production to Commercialize Cultivated Meat”

    April 17, 2024 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract Between a growing global population and increased consumption of meat from developing countries, it is projected that meat production will have to increase by at least 60% by 2050 to meet demand. It is unlikely that expanded conventional animal agriculture alone will be able to meet this need. Therefore, alternatives to conventional meat will […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Do the Twist: Toward Agile Control of an Axially Twisting Robotic Quadruped”

    April 18, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM /
    David Rittenhouse Laboratory Building, Room 4C4 209 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Even as they continue to improve, legged robots pale in comparison to their biological counterparts. This discrepancy is at least partly due to robots possessing an order of magnitude fewer degrees of freedom. In fact, most dynamically capable quadrupedal robots lack any degrees of freedom in the torso, opting instead for a simpler, single, rigid […]

    A Franklin Medal Laureate Lecture: “Building Therapies Layer-By-Layer”

    April 18, 2024 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Recipient of the 2024 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry

    Thursday Apr 18

    Benjamin Franklin Medal in Mechanical Engineering Lecture: “Molecular and Micro-Structural Mechanics and Design of Soft Materials”

    April 18, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Soft synthetic and natural polymeric-based materials offer particular new avenues for the design and fabrication of materials and devices. Engineering the molecular and geometrical structures of the constituent materials, together with utilizing their ability to sustain large deformations enables materials and designs with novel properties and functional behavior. We begin with the development of physically-based […]

    ESE Spring Seminar – “Miniaturized Biomedical Devices for Navigation, Sensing and Stimulation”

    April 18, 2024 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM /
    Towne 327

    Medical electronic devices are an integral part of the healthcare system today and are used in a variety of applications around us. The design of such devices has several stringent requirements, the key being miniaturization, low-power operation, and wireless functionality. In this talk, I will present CMOS-based miniaturized, low-power and wireless biomedical devices in three […]

    BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Proteome-seq: Sequencing-Based Readout of Proteomic Analytical Assay” (Mariia (Masha) Alibekova Long)

    April 18, 2024 @ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM /
    Smilow Center for Translational Research in SCTR 11-146AB

    The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Alex Hughes are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Mariia (Masha) Alibekova Long. Title:  Proteome-seq: Sequencing-Based Readout of Proteomic Analytical Assay Date: April 18, 2024 Time: 1:00 PM Location: SCTR (Smilow Center for Translational Research) 11-146AB Zoom option: Topic: Mariia Alibekova Long's PhD Thesis Defense […]

    BE Seminar: “Using Computers to Derive Protein Structure from Sparse Data – A Case Study for Mass Spectrometry” (Steffen Lindert, Ohio State)

    April 18, 2024 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Mass spectrometry-based methods such as covalent labeling, surface induced dissociation (SID) or ion mobility (IM) are increasingly used to obtain information about protein structure. However, in contrast to other high-resolution structure determination methods, this information is not sufficient to deduce all atom coordinates and can only inform on certain elements of structure, such as solvent […]

    Spring 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Kristi Morgansen, University of Washington, “Integrated Sensing and Actuation for Robust Flight Systems”

    April 19, 2024 @ 10:30 AM - 11:45 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT A fundamental element of effective operation of autonomous systems is the need for appropriate sensing and processing of measurements to enable desired system actions. Model-based methods provide a clear framework for careful proof of system capabilities but suffer […]
