BE Seminar – Celeste M. Nelson “Mitochondria, mechanics, and tissue morphogenesis”
CIS Seminar: “Inverse Problems using Generative Priors”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Inverse problems seek to recover an unknown source signal X for which we have indirect, partial, or noisy measurements Y. Most real-world inverse problems are ill-posed and the conventional line […]
Fall 2025 GRASP on Robotics: Kris Hauser, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign & Samsung Research America, “Modeling and Reasoning About ‘Stuff’”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This event will be in-person ONLY in Wu and Chen Auditorium. ABSTRACT Prevailing models in robotics reason about the world either as images (end-to-end learning approaches) or as a collection […]
Fall 2025 GRASP Seminar: Aljoša Ošep, NVIDIA, “Segmenting More Than Meets the Eye: Towards Amodal 4D Segmentation”
/
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 306
3317 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This is an in-person event ONLY in AGH 306. ABSTRACT The future of AI is embodied — imagine intelligent agents that can navigate and manipulate the world, from robot assistants […]
Tedori-Callinan Distinguished Lecture: “Robotic Predictions are Hard, Especially About the Future”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Many autonomous systems (e.g, driverless cars and drones) must make decisions based on predictions of the future actions of other nearby agents, whose dynamics and intentions are unknown. E.g., autonomous […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Diamond and GaN: Wide-Bandgap Allies for Thermal and Power Management from Devices to 3D-Stacked Chips”
/
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Once considered exotic, diamond and gallium nitride (GaN) have become practical enablers for next-generation electronic systems. Their convergence—diamond providing exceptional thermal conductivity and GaN delivering high-efficiency power conversion—lays the groundwork […]
Penn AI Seminar Featuring Li Shen: Harnessing Trustworthy AI and Informatics for Dementia and Aging Research
/
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414
3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) remains a major health crisis with profound social and economic burdens. Innovative strategies are needed to identify genetic risk and protective factors, model disease […]
CIS Seminar: “Good Old Fashioned Engineering Can Close the 100,000 Year “Data Gap” in Robotics”
/
Wu & Chen Auditorium
AI is rapidly advancing the way we think, but we live in a material world. We still need to move things, make things, and maintain things. We need AI-driven robots […]
ASSET Seminar: “The coverage principle in language models: From pre-training to test-time scaling”
/
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414
3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States
Test-time compute has emerged as a new axis for scaling language model capabilities, yet we lack a principled understanding of this paradigm. What are the right algorithms and trade-offs for […]
Fall 2025 GRASP SFI: Huy Ha, Columbia University & Stanford University, “UMI on Legs: Making Manipulation Policies Mobile with Manipulation-Centric Whole-body Controllers”
/
Levine 307
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT We introduce UMI-on-Legs, a new framework that combines real-world and simulation data for […]
MSE David P. Pope Distinguished Lecture: Ion Migration and Its Impact on the Stability of Halide Perovskite Solar Cells – Prashant Kamat – University of Notre Dame
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The ability to tune the bandgap of metal halide perovskites by alloying different halide ions is key to advancing tandem solar cells and light-emitting displays. However, this compositional flexibility also […]
FOLDS Seminar: ACS: An interactive framework for machine-assisted selection with model-free guarantees
/
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414
3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98220304722 In this talk, I will introduce adaptive conformal selection (ACS), an interactive framework for model-free selection with guaranteed error control. Building on conformal selection (Jin and Candès, […]
