Pixar's films rely heavily on physically simulated effects such as the motion of hairs, cloth, and water, to cite a few. Whereas physical accuracy is of paramount importance in engineering […]
Many complex nonequilibrium systems, including turbulent flows, are characterized by chaotic dynamics, a large number of degrees of freedom, and hierarchical, multiscale structure in space and time. In two vignettes, […]
Abstract: Fluids and solids tend to be addressed using distinct computational perspectives. Solid deformation is most commonly simulated with Lagrangian finite-element methods, whereas fluid flow is amenable to Eulerian-frame approaches […]

In this talk I will provide an overview of our recent work in data-driven methods---mainly machine learning---to enhance computational materials physics models. This body of work has proceeded along two […]
With the commercialization of wide-bandgap power semiconductors, multi-MHz switching frequencies are more compelling and critical to meet new applications demanding leaps in power density and efficiency. In the past, studies […]
A long-standing grand challenge in computing is to enable machines to act autonomously and intelligently: to rapidly and repeatedly take appropriate actions based on information in the world around them. […]
Abstract Until now, the natural world has supplied us with antibiotics. Bacteria, however, are increasingly resistant to these drugs. The next generation of antibiotics will likely come not from nature […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. David Meaney are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Samantha Schumm. The public is welcome to attend the Zoom […]
The Graduate Student Symposium will be held on October 30th, 11:00AM-5:00PM EDT. We are excited to share the research conducted in our department with each other and invited industrial representatives, […]
Two fundamental challenges that arise in the development of air-breathing supersonic combustion ramjet engines (scramjets) for hypersonic flight are: 1) the rapid mixing of fuel and oxidizer that must occur […]
