    This Seminar is currently Postponed. MSE Seminar: “Tuning Nanostructured Materials for Combustion Applications”

    March 21, 2024 @ 12:00 AM /

    Metals powders like aluminum and boron are attractive potential fuel additives for pyrotechnics, propellants and explosives due to their high energy release upon oxidation. However, they tend to agglomerate, have lengthy ignition delays, and low combustion rates/efficiencies. This work aims to design metal powders with tuned surface, micro-structure, morphology, or chemistries to mitigate these challenges […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Surfactants, Colloids, and Electrolytes: Engineering Transport Phenomena for Energy and the Environment”

    March 21, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Fluid flows and mass transport mediate countless natural and engineered processes, ranging from the spreading of pollutants to carbon capture and water cleaning. In this talk, I will share three examples of my research where fundamental ideas in transport phenomena are applied to inform technologies with direct impact on energy and the environment. First, I […]

    BE Seminar: “Synthetic and Chemical Biology Routes to Unveiling Host-Pathogen Dialogue” (Aerin Yang, Stanford)

    March 21, 2024 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Disease processes within the human body are shaped by the dynamic interplay between invading pathogens and the host's defense mechanisms. The intricate molecular interaction involves continuous modifications of both host and pathogen proteins, driven by posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and coevolutionary mutations, to finely regulate their interactions with binding partners. In this talk, I will elucidate […]

    CIS Seminar: “Building Planetary-Scale Collaborative Intelligence”

    March 21, 2024 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Today, access to high-quality data has become the key bottleneck to deploying Machine Learning (ML). Often, data that is most valuable is locked away in inaccessible silos due to unfavorable incentives and ethical-legal restrictions. This is starkly evident in healthcare, where such barriers have led to highly biased and underperforming tools. In my talk, we will […]
