Anomaly detection is a crucial task in the operation of complex systems such as industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and large-scale science experiments. Failures in a sub-system can result in low yield, faulty products, or damage to components, making it essential to detect anomalies as quickly as possible. Despite the abundance of data available for complex […]
Millimeter-wave and terahertz bands are emerging as the most promising spectrum to meet the data-rate and latency demands of future wireless applications, including virtual reality and autonomous cars. Moreover, the large spectral availability together with the mm-scale wavelength, opens the opportunity of scaling the capacity of future wireless networks by supporting highly directional, high data […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Louis Soslowsky are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Jaclyn Carlson. Title: Fibrillar Collagen Modulation of Extracellular Matrix Structure and Organization Following Tendon Injury Date: April 10, 2023 Time: 2pm Location: CRB, Austrian Auditorium Zoom Link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/97931643342 The public is welcome to attend.
The development of approaches to design and manufacture complex 3D functional mesoscopic structures in advanced materials is a topic of increasing research interest. Previous options in forming 3D mesostructures are, however, constrained by a narrow accessible range of materials or 3D geometries. In this talk, I will first introduce a versatile, mechanical approach to deterministically […]
ABSTRACT: The training data that modern machine learning models ingest has a major impact on these models’ performance (as well as failures). Yet, this impact tends to be neither fully appreciated nor understood at a fine-grained enough level. In this talk, we will discuss some of the key ways in which training data influences not […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week's presenter will be in-person as well. ABSTRACT Biological systems with deformable bodies exhibit remarkable abilities. However, compliant/soft robots still can not match the capabilities of their biological analogs in terms of adaptability, physical robustness, and autonomy partially […]
Wednesday, April 12, 2023 5:00 PM Wu and Chen Auditorium Anna Siefken Department of Energy Office of Technology Transitions President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act provided DOE billions of dollars to invest in and support large-scale demonstration and deployment of clean energy technologies over the next decade. These historic investments are intended […]
Critical elements such as rare-earth (RE) metals that are subject to supply risks and are incorporated in critical materials, play a central role in the function of these materials. They dictate the properties that control the function of critical materials, including both molecules and materials, used in a broad range of technologically important and energy […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Drs. Saar Gill & Frederick Bennett are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Matias Porras Paniagua. Title: Generation of Chimeric Antigen Receptor Macrophages to Target Pathogenic Protein Aggregates in Alzheimer's Disease Date: April 13, 2023 Time: 3:15pm Location: Smillow Center for Translational Medicine: SCTR 11-146AB […]
This seminar will be held in person in Glandt Forum; snacks will be served. "MAPing Principles and Applications to Endogenous Repair" Microporous annealed particle (MAP) scaffolds are materials composed of hydrogel microparticle (HMP) building blocks. Thus, rather than use polymers as the building block that form the hydrogel, we use particles. This makes MAP scaffolds […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week's presenter will be in-person as well. ABSTRACT Spatial perception —the robot’s ability to sense and understand the surrounding environment— is a key enabler for robot navigation, manipulation, and human-robot interaction. Recent advances in perception algorithms […]
