Rapid advancements in healthcare, technology, finance and beyond present significant opportunities and challenges. As we look to develop leading-edge solutions to provide a better future for all, Penn Engineering and […]
Lymphatic, nervous, and tumoral tissues, among others, exhibit physiology that emerges from three-dimensional interactions between genetically unique cells. Technologies capable of volumetrically imaging transcriptomes, genotypes, and morphologies in a single […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT We are witnessing a space renaissance. Tens of thousands of broadband […]
Enhancing the resistance of human-made brittle materials to fracture is challenging due to the limited microstructural toughening mechanisms. This seminar makes a case for engineering toughening mechanisms in brittle materials […]
Update 10/14/24: Please note the new time and location for Nina Ghosn's Doctoral Dissertation Defense below. The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Brian Litt are […]
AI-powered applications are exciting because of their potential to support people in unprecedented ways but they are also particularly challenging to design right: How does one design a useful AI-enabled […]
Abstract: As the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to proliferate, computer architects must assess and mitigate its environmental impact. This talk will survey strategies for reducing the carbon footprint […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT People experience the world through modalities of sight, sound, words, touch, and […]
Abstract: The posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in RiPPs (ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides) dictate their 3D structure and their bioactivity. An underlying structural feature of many RiPPs is macrocyclization, installed […]
In this talk, I will discuss new inroads in the study of electronic order within classes of metals built from kagome lattices or networks of corner sharing triangles. The electronic […]
Safety-critical control is one of the fundamental problems in autonomous systems. A special class of autonomous systems is the class of hybrid dynamical systems, which involves both continuous dynamic flow […]
Language models (LMs) have become ubiquitous in both AI research and commercial product offerings. As their commercial importance has surged, the most powerful models have become closed off, gated behind […]
