    • CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Exploring the Molecular Origins of Icephilicity Using Specialized Molecular Simulations

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract: Exercising control over the formation of ice and similar crystalline structures is important in a variety of contexts, from preserving organs for transplant to preventing clathrate hydrate plugs in natural gas pipelines. To achieve this control, it is crucial to understand nucleation phenomena at the molecular level. Studies have shown that heterogeneous nucleation proceeds […]

    CBE Seminar: “Integrating Machine Learning and Multiscale Modeling in Biomedicine”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract Machine learning and multiscale modeling complement each other in a unique way, enabling us to seamlessly integrate big data and biophysical pathways and interpret the results while formulating truly predictive and generalizable models, based on both data and physics. In multiscale modeling, I have developed adaptive methods and kinetic models to simulate intracellular polymerization […]

    ODEI Spotlight: Penn Global Opportunities Fair

    /

    Thursday, February 4 | 2:00pm–8:00pm ET | Online Register Here: https://pennabroad.vfairs.com/ At the Penn Global Opportunities Fair, Penn undergraduate and graduate students from across all schools and programs are invited to explore the many exciting international initiatives, student support services, and global opportunities that make up life at Penn.

    BE/MEAM Seminar: “Microbes in Biomechanics” (Christopher J. Hernandez)

    /

    This event will be held virtually on Zoom - check email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. The idea that mechanical stresses influence the growth and form of organs and organisms originated in the 1800s and is the basis for the modern study of biomechanics and mechanobiology. Biomechanics and mechanobiology are well studied in eukaryotic systems, […]

    GRASP On Robotics: “Designing Human Interaction with Agents and Robots”

    /
    Zoom

    Abstract: Over the last decade, the idea that robots and agents might participate meaningfully in complex group and organizational contexts has developed from a promising vision into a reality. Robots now assist humans in simple tasks such as delivery through complex, high-stakes tasks such as disaster response and surgery. In this talk, I will introduce […]

    ODEI Spotlight: Women in Data Science Philadelphia @ Penn

    /

    Support gender diversity in data science and join us (virtually, of course) for the second annual Women in Data Science Philadelphia @ Penn on February 8-12, 2021. Co-hosted by Analytics at Wharton, Wharton Customer Analytics, Penn Engineering, and the Wharton Statistics Department, this interdisciplinary event will discuss the latest advances and applications in data science and aims to inspire data scientists, […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Target: COVID-19”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Until such a time when the world’s population has achieved herd immunity either through vaccination against or exposure to the SARS-Cov-2 virus, the most effective means for controlling the COVID-19 (and any other) pandemic is frequent testing and resulting preventive measures that reduce the rate of viral transmission. This talk provides a bird's-eye view of […]

    CBE Seminar: “Engineering Bacteria to Expand the Chemistry of Life”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract In living organisms, translation of genetic information by the ribosome transforms the information embedded in DNA into actuating components, namely proteins. Though life itself is incredibly diverse at the macroscopic level, at the molecular level, all of life uses the same set of machinery for translation - 20 standard amino acid building blocks (with […]
