    • Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: Frank Dellaert, Georgia Tech, “Factor Graphs for Perception and Action”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week’s presenter will be virtual. ABSTRACT Factor graphs have been very successful in providing a lingua franca in which to phrase robotics perception and navigation problems. In this talk I will re-visit some of those successes, also […]

    MSE Seminar: “Bio-inspired Design, Mechanics, and Manufacturing of Architected Cementitious Materials”

    /
    LRSM Reading Room 3231 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Dr. Moini’s research is focused on bio-inspired design and development of architected materials using novel additive manufacturing processes and automated robotic technologies for applications in civil and energy infrastructure. His work is motivated by the intellectual challenge of understanding the mechanics of intrinsically brittle engineering materials and the development of ductile and flaw-tolerant responses using […]

    PICS Seminar: “Computational fluid dynamics for slurry rheology in flow battery and underlying drag-reduction mechanisms in turbulent flow control”

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    Email jnespos@seas.upenn.edu for the Zoom link. This talk will start by introducing diverse fluid-mechanics research conducted in the Park research group, including complex fluids, electrokinetics, biofluids, transition-to-turbulence, and turbulent flow. I will then focus on two projects at very different flow regimes. For both projects, the modeling, analysis, and computation will be presented along with […]

    MEAM Seminar: “3D Printing Active Electronic Devices”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The ability to three-dimensionally pattern semiconducting electronic and optoelectronic materials could provide a transformative approach to creating active electronic devices without the need for a cleanroom or conventional microfabrication facilities. This could enable the generation of active electronics on-the-fly, using only source inks and a portable 3D printer to realize electronics anywhere, anytime, including directly […]

    • ASSET Seminar: The marriage of logic and learning: will it be a happily ever after?, Jyotirmoy Deshmukh (University of Southern California)

    /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Presentation Abstract: Huge strides have made in the widespread adoption of autonomous and human-in-the-loop cyber-physical systems (CPS), partly fueled by dramatic improvements in learning-based techniques. An important aspect of such CPS applications is that they are safety-critical: any undesirable behavior by such systems can cause serious harm to human lives or property. The formal methods […]

    BE/Genetics Seminar: “A network-based blueprint for understanding condensates in health and disease” (David W. Sanders, Princeton University)

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    PENN GENETICS SPECIAL SEMINAR | David Sanders, PhD “A network-based blueprint for understanding condensates in health and disease” David W Sanders, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow Chemical and Biological Engineering Princeton University Zoom Link Contact Info: For more information, please contact Sadie Robinson at sarahjr@upenn.edu This is a joint seminar between the Departments of Genetics and Bioengineering

    MSE Seminar: “Metamaterials: From Invisibility Cloak to Future Extended Reality Displays”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The invisibility cloak in Harry Potter and the dreams of invisibility as a superpower are no longer fiction. With the invention of metamaterials, they are theoretically and experimentally possible in real life. Metamaterials — materials that are engineered to have properties that are not found in naturally-occuring materials — allow us to overcome physical limitations. […]

    CIS Seminar: “Proofs, Cryptography and Quantum Information”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Many cryptographic protocols will be rendered insecure if sufficiently powerful quantum computers are built. While this remains at least a few decades away, there is another, more immediate, problem: many widely-used security analysis techniques rely on properties of classical information that do not hold in the quantum setting, rendering the security of many schemes unclear […]

    Spring 2023 GRASP Seminar: GRASP Panel on Future Challenges and Big Problems

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week’s panelists will be in-person as well.  PANEL DISCUSSION Please join us for a lively panel discussion featuring GRASP Faculty members including Dr. Nadia Figueroa, Dr. Dinesh Jayaraman, and Dr. Marc Miskin. This panel will be moderated by Penn Engineering SEAS […]

    P.E.S.T.L.E. Orientation – February 3

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    Join P.E.S.T.L.E. for our Zoom Orientation session on Friday, February 3 at 4:00 pm! Please email us at pestle@seas.upenn.edu if you have any questions.

    MEAM Seminar: “Designing Interfacial Phenomena for Water, Energy, and Sustainability”

    /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Solid/water interfacial phenomena are pervasive in both natural and built environments. Heat exchangers, membrane pores, and packed bed reactors are all examples of solid/water interfaces where interfacial phenomena and small-scale fluid physics can have outsized influences on process efficacy and sustainability. Even innocuous surfaces such as reactor walls are not inert and can actively interact […]
