MSE Seminar: “Respectful Workplaces + Implicit Bias”
ESE Seminar: “Towards a Seamless Integration of Drones in Smart Cities: Communications and Security”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), popularly known as drones, will be an integral component of emerging smart city applications ranging from delivery of goods to flying taxis. However, a seamless deployment of such drone-based applications requires addressing technical challenges across communications, security, autonomy, and control. In this talk, we focus on the wireless […]
CIS Seminar: “What Should We Do With Persistent Main Memory?”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Memory systems are on the verge of a renaissance: Scalable, persistent main memories (e.g., Intel’s 3DXPoint) are the first new technology to enter the upper layers of the memory hierarchy in 50 years. They bring a fundamentally new capability (i.e., persistence), a dramatic increase in capacity, and an array of complications (e.g., asymmetric read and […]
MEAM Seminar: “Viewing Earth’s Surface as a Soft Matter Landscape”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The Earth's surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate-fluid mixtures: dry to wet, dilute to dense, colloidal to granular, attractive to repulsive particles, laminar to turbulent flows, and steady to highly-unsteady forcing. This material variety is matched by the range of relevant stresses and strain rates, from rapid and catastrophic landslides to the […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Advanced methods and alternative materials to drive next-generation energy storage”
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology
3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
ESE Seminar: “Efficient Mid-Infrared Photodetection Using Graphene Plasmons at Room Temperature”
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
In the history of materials development, many classic materials (Si, III-Vs, organics, etc.) which can be produced reliably at large scale eventually have found critical applications after decades of intensive research, leveraging their distinctive properties. For example, silicon dominates the field-effect-transistor technology because perfect dielectric-silicon interface can be readily realized. Organic materials are currently widely […]
CBE Seminar: “Understanding and Characterizing How Nanostructured Surfaces Perturb Water Structure: Applications to the Prediction of Protein Interactions and the Design of Soft Materials”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Shedding Light on Pain Therapeutics: From Externally-Triggerable Drug Delivery Systems to Bioelectronics”
/
Auditorium, LRSM Building
3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The Jack Keil Wolf Lecture in Electrical and Systems Engineering: “The Invention of High Efficient Blue LEDs and Future Solid State Lighting”
/
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology

MEAM/GRASP Seminar: “Geometric Biologically Inspired Robots that Span Industries from Medical to Manufacturing”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The animal kingdom is full of both human and non-human animals worthy of investigation, emulation and re-creation. As such, my research group has created a comprehensive research program focusing on biologically-inspired robots, and has applied them to search and rescue, minimally invasive surgery, and manufacturing. These robots inspire great scientific challenges in mechanism design, control, […]
ESE Seminar: “Hardware Acceleration in the World of Emerging Applications”
/
Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall
210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Semiconductor technology scaling coming to a screeching halt, coupled with the explosion of data in almost every facet of our lives, makes processing large volumes of data efficiently a critical problem to solve. In this talk, I will highlight three main challenges in designing accelerators and demonstrate that domain-specific hardware acceleration and specialization can […]
MEAM Seminar: “Elastomeric Materials for Autonomic Force Transmission, Optoelectric Sensing, and 3D Printing Soft Robots”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This talk will present multidisciplinary work from material composites and robotics. We have created new types of actuators, sensors, displays, and additive manufacturing techniques for soft robots and haptic interfaces. For example, we now use stretchable optical waveguides as sensors for high accuracy, repeatability, and material compatibility with soft actuators. For displaying information, we have […]
