*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom Offline reinforcement learning (RL), which uses pre-collected, reusable offline data without further environment interactions, […]
Abstract The massive quantities of single-use plastics discarded each year requires new sustainable end-of-life solutions. Current technologies, such as melt-processing for recycling or incineration for partial energy recovery, are insufficient […]
The diversity and vastness in the types of properties of living systems, including enhanced mechanical properties of skin and bone, or responsive optical properties derived from structural coloration, are a […]
Stable chronic mapping of brain activities at the action potential level with high temporal resolution is essential for both fundamental neuroscience research and biomedical applications, including cognitive studies, memory encoding […]
This seminar will be held in person in Towne 337 and on zoom (check email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu). Genetic screens are critical for the systematic identification of genes […]
Rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of causative pathogens is key to personalized medicine and the prompt implementation of appropriate mitigation measures to reduce disease transmission, mortality, morbidity, and cost. Conventional […]
Many robotic applications require a robot to operate in an environment with unknowns or uncertainty, at least initially, before it gathers enough information about the environment. In such a case, […]
Because the physical world is complex, ambiguous, and unpredictable, autonomous agents must be engineered to exhibit a human-level degree of flexibility and generality — far beyond what we are capable […]
Abstract: Ultrafine aerosols can significantly influence Earth’s climate if they are able to grow to sizes large enough to interact with the incoming solar radiation and nucleate cloud droplets. In […]
Amorphous solids, those composed of haphazardly arranged constituents, are found everywhere from our windows as silicate glass, in the ground and foundations as mud and concrete, and our grocery stores […]

Abstract: "As thrombosis proceeds, platelets in a clot can expose phosphatidylserine (PS), providing a negatively charged surface for thrombin generation. These PS+ platelets have been shown to sort to the […]
