    • Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: Vivienne Sze, MIT, “Efficient Computing for Autonomy and Navigation”

    /
    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 A broad range of next-generation applications will be enabled by low-energy autonomous vehicles including insect-size flapping wing robots that can help with search and rescue, chip-size satellites that can explore […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Laboratory Investigations of Wind Turbine Wakes at Field Reynolds Numbers”

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

    Wind turbines and wind farms present unique challenges—fluid mechanically—as they combine extremely high Reynolds numbers with additional time scales imposed by the rotation, and three-dimensional effects. This implies that resolved numerical solutions are too computationally expensive and investigations in conventional wind tunnels are impossible due to the flow speeds and rotational rates needed in order […]

    2023 Franklin Medal Symposium Honoring Nader Engheta: “Sculpting Waves with Complex Structures” (Villanova Livestream)

    /

    *This is an event hosted by Villanova University. To gain access to the livestream, you must register to attend.* Featuring presentations by a select group of world-class experts, this symposium celebrates the groundbreaking contributions of Dr. Nader Engheta in complex electromagnetic structures, plasmonics, optical nanocircuitry, and wave-based computing. The speakers discuss the current and future […]

    ASSET Seminar: AI and Medicine: One Possible Future for Augmented Care, Kevin B Johnson (University of Pennsylvania)

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

    Abstract: Scientific discoveries, fueled by data collected during the course of care, are promising to radically change how we think about health, disease, prevention and treatment. However, the very systems that are responsible for this tsunami of data are crippling many aspects of the care delivery system. In particular, the burden of documentation, the challenges […]

    CBE Seminar Series: “Multiscale Bioinspired Material Intelligence” (Markus J. Buehler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

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

    Abstract: Digital biomaterials are designed through an integrated approach of large-scale computational modeling, material informatics, and artificial intelligence/machine learning to optimize and leverage novel smart material manufacturing for advanced mechanical properties. Through the use of nanotechnology and additive manufacturing, and bio-inspired methods, we can now mimic and improve upon natural processes by which materials evolve, […]

    • ASSET Seminar: Neurosymbolic Programming for Science, Swarat Chaudhuri (University of Texas at Austin)

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

    PRESENTATION ABSTRACT: Neurosymbolic programming (NSP) is an emerging area of computing that bridges the fields of deep learning and program synthesis. Like in classical machine learning, the goal here is to learn functions from data. However, these functions are represented as programs that use neural network modules as well as symbolic primitives and are induced using […]

    BE Seminar: “Bioengineered Platforms for Mechanistic Understandings and Therapeutic Interventions” (Shyni Varghese, Duke University)

    /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This talk will be held in person in Glandt Forum; snacks will be served. Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field that has significant promise for treating compromised tissues and organs. In our laboratory, we use a number of tools including biomaterials, organoids, quantitative modeling, and animal models to gain new fundamental understandings and identify therapeutic […]
