The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Andrew Tsourkas proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Bian Jang. Title: Engineering Magnetic Devices and Nanoparticle Platforms to […]
Current propulsion and flight mechanisms limit atmospheric observations. The mesosphere is too dense for satellites and too thin for typical planes and balloons, with similar conditions found in the Martian […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Walter Witschey proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Beth Thompson. Title: Right ventricular remodeling in tetralogy of Fallot […]
Abstract: SBA-15, a type of mesoporous silica, is an attractive support for heterogeneous catalysts due to its high surface area, one-dimensional uniform pore structure, and high thermal stability. However, modifying […]
Abstract: How can we make new materials and better understand how their underlying structures form? The direct observation of crystal growth and transitions remains supremely challenging, but gaining insight into […]
CRISPR is a gene editing technique that allows researchers to quickly and precisely edit genome sequences. Beyond gene editing, CRISPR-Cas systems can be repurposed as a programmable platform for other […]
Abstract: For decades, we have built software by writing code, but in recent years machine learning has emerged as a new approach to create software with features that would be […]
Abstract: Precise control of structural parameters through nanoscale engineering to improve optical and electronic properties of functional nanomaterials continuously remains an outstanding challenge. Previous work on nanoparticle synthesis and assembly […]
Legged robots, robotic manipulators, and their combined embodiment as humanoid robots have received considerable attention across both academia and industry. However, with few notable exceptions, state-of-the-art demonstrations are significantly less […]
EHRS staff will discuss how to work safely in the lab while navigating the changing landscape of materials science and engineering research. The talk will also cover; - Standard orientation […]
The Department of BIoengineering and Dr. Flavia Vitale proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Sneha Shankar. Details are as follows: Title: "Developing Translational Multimodal Neurotechnology Across Multiple Scales Using Novel […]
CRISPR has revolutionized biotechnology by enabling the simple design of guide RNAs to target and edit almost any DNA sequence. By developing new generative protein design algorithms, my hybrid lab […]
