Step back into the classroom with Penn Engineering! Join us for a series of TED Talk-style Lightning Talks featuring some of our most popular professors as they share their latest […]
The volume fraction phi for random close packed (RCP) spheres is approximately 0.64. It is well known that higher RCP volume fractions are achieved by using collections of particles with […]
Radio frequency (RF) plasma technology is essential in modern semiconductor fabrication, enabling precise processes such as etching and deposition. As the industry advances toward increasingly complex three-dimensional structures and smaller […]
One of the primary goals of ‘explainable AI’ is the identification of a small subset of explanatory variables in an attempt to understand interesting phenomena. The Markov blanket constitutes one […]
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/6130182858 We present a mathematical framework to analyze the training dynamics of deep ResNets that rigorously captures practical architectures (including Transformers) trained from standard random initializations. Our […]
The rich set of mechanoreceptors found in human skin offers a versatile engineering interface for transmitting information and eliciting perceptions, potentially serving a broad range of applications in patient care […]
As the demand for computing power and complexity continues to grow, developing new paradigms of information processing is essential. Unconventional functionalities arising from atomically engineered materials offer pathways to address […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT The space environment is remote and unpredictable, and the ability to manufacture in […]
Abstract: Plants sense local pressure changes in their vasculature and transmit them across tissues via poroelastic coupling, triggering ionic currents in distant mechanosensitive cells to guide growth and biochemical responses. […]
