The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Joel Boerckel are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Joseph Collins. Title: The roles of YAP […]
Traditional approaches for active mapping focus on building geometric maps. For most real-world applications, however, actionable information is related to semantically meaningful objects in the environment. We propose an approach […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Dennis Discher are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Brandon Hayes. Title: Macrophages & chromosomal instability: From […]
Microorganisms, primitive unicellular forms of life, form the basis of the food web and play crucial roles in the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Habitats of microorganisms, from oceans and lakes to […]
This thesis is dedicated to addressing the challenges of robust collaborative learning and optimization in both discrete and continuous domains. With the ever-increasing scale of data and the growing demand […]
Advanced functional materials comprising multiple components with nano- and microscopic features typically rely on expensive and time-consuming fabrication methods. Kinetically-trapped disordered structures provide a powerful alternate route to fabricate fault-tolerant, […]
Blood clotting is primarily responsible for stemming bleeding in vessel injury, comprising a protective mechanism called hemostasis. However, if a blood clot forms within a blood vessel when or where […]
Actuator reduction is especially important for aerial robots, where minimizing mass and conserving power is critical. Bistable mechanisms have been used to augment actuators by speeding up actuation time or […]
There is currently a critical need for blood donors, and members of the Penn Engineering community are invited to participate in a school-wide blood drive. To join in this effort, […]
