    • Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Nikos Kolotouros, University of Pennsylvania, “Reconstructing 3D Humans from Images”

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

    The past decade we have seen remarkable progress in Computer Vision, mainly fueled by the recent advances in Deep Learning. Unsurprisingly, human perception has been the center of attention. We now have access to systems that can work remarkably well for traditional 2D tasks like segmentation or pose estimation. However, scaling this to 3D remains […]

    CBE Seminar: “Investigating Biomedical Challenges Through State-of-the-Art DNA-based Technology”

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

    Abstract DNA can serve purposes beyond conveying hereditary information – its highly specific Watson-Crick base pairing can also be used to direct the assembly of cells, nanoparticles, and proteins. Recently developed in the Sohn lab , high-throughput DNA-directed patterning takes advantage of the versatile and iterative aspects of photolithography to define clearly regions on an […]

    GRASP on Robotics: Ankur Mehta, University of California, Los Angeles, “Towards $1 Robots”

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

    Robots are pretty great — they can make some hard tasks easy, some dangerous tasks safe, or some unthinkable tasks possible. And they’re just plain fun to boot. But how many robots have you interacted with recently? And where do you think that puts you compared to the rest of the world’s people? In contrast […]

    MEAM Seminar: “The Unsteady Aerodynamics of Wind Power Generation”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Wind energy plays a crucial role in clean energy generation. Currently, horizontal axis wind turbines dominate the wind energy sector. Nevertheless, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have some advantages over traditional horizontal axis wind turbines. However, their performance is difficult to predict and they are prone to failure over time. This is because the axis […]

    ESE Spring Colloquium – “Autonomous Microsystems Based on Heterogeneously Integrated CMOS for Biological Big Data”

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

    Minimally invasive and chronic physiological monitoring can provide an effective means of disease prevention and early detection while the cumulative big data can unveil hidden patterns in our physiology. Yet, current physiological monitoring tools are often bulky, invasive, and expensive, limiting their sensitivity and applicability. In this talk, I will discuss autonomous microsystems based on […]

    Joseph Bordogna Forum: “Engineering for Everyone: Centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”

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

    Please join us for this distinguished lecture given by Dr. Gilda Barabino, President of Olin College of Engineering. "Engineering for Everyone: Centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" At its core, engineering involves creative problem solving. Diverse groups of problem solvers are more likely to outperform homogeneous groups and derive the best solution. Yet, ensuring diverse groups […]
