Finding time to support and mentor students can be challenging. Drs. Lee Bassett and Jennifer Lukes will start this informal conversation by sharing ideas for promoting positive relationships with students […]
Preterm birth affects approximately ten percent of pregnancies and rates of maternal mortality in the US are rising. Computational investigations of pregnancy have great potential to explore fundamental aspects […]
Insect respiration is characterized by the rapid transport of respiratory gases within the organism and efficient exchange with the external environment. This unique system is comprised of a network of […]
Microorganisms, although challenging to observe, are ubiquitous in both natural ecosystems and industries. They inhabit diverse environments: natural ones ranging from small river tributaries and lakes to oceans, as well […]
ABSTRACT: "A.I. has an explainability crisis"---Fortune Magazine. If you ask an ML researcher about explainability, you'll find that there are a large number of interpretability methods with no clear consensus […]
Development of a newly fertilized embryo is a dynamic, complex, and highly coordinated process that requires precise genetic regulation and control. As the embryo develops, DNA regulatory elements known as […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week's speaker will be virtual. ABSTRACT My lab focusses on understanding every aspect […]
Polymer is often considered one of the most prevalent materials in the modern age. While it has been predominantly synthesized in solution and processed into a variety of macroscopic sizes […]
Dr. Mogas-Soldevila will give an overview on her DumoLab research at the Weitzman School of Design at Penn. Her works focuses on regenerative material practices bridging science, engineering, and the […]
This thesis addresses the challenges of model-based planning and control in legged locomotion, particularly the trade-off between computational speed and robot performance presented by different levels of model complexities. Full-order […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Ophir Shalem are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Henry Sanchez. Title: Pooled tagging of endogenous proteins for […]
The native extracellular microenvironment dynamically remodels as cells synthesize, assemble, and remodel their surroundings during tissue development, injury, and repair. In my research group, we use engineered systems to both […]
