If learning from data is valuable, can learning from big data be very valuable? It has been, so far, in vision and language, for which foundation models can be trained […]
Cyber-physical systems often include communication networks that ensure data transmission between different components of the system (sensors, actuators, processing units, etc). The presence of such networks renders the whole system […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Dani Smith Bassett are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Shubhankar Patankar. Title: Goal-Directed Dynamics of Network […]
In this talk, I will focus on two challenging imaging systems: snapshot compressive imaging and coherent imaging under speckle noise interference. I will begin by reviewing the core mathematical modeling […]
You’ve probably seen reports about reproducibility issues and science gone wrong due to lack of rigor. But what does it mean to do rigorous scientific research? If the word conjures […]
*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 as well as virtually via Zoom. ABSTRACT In this keynote, I will talk about our latest research on creating photo-realistic AI […]
*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 as well as virtually via Zoom. ABSTRACT Understanding the 3D structure of real-world environments is a fundamental challenge in machine perception, […]
Making robots more capable, agile, and efficient requires careful design of the robot’s mechanical body to match task requirements. Passive components allow a robot to perform a task without a […]
Legged robots, robotic manipulators, and their combined embodiment as humanoid robots have received considerable attention across both academia and industry. However, with few notable exceptions, state-of-the-art demonstrations are significantly less […]
Photoluminescent point defects, or color centers, in wide-bandgap semiconductors are important platforms for quantum information science because they can be operated as solid-state quantum spin-light interfaces. Implementing so-called defect qubits […]
Patient-specific computational modeling and simulation has become a routine part of cardiovascular clinical research. These techniques leverage medical imaging to construct subject-specific models that can be used to study disease […]
The field of robotic manipulation is attempting to expand from structured warehouse and lab environments to in-the-wild applications in human-centric settings. When deployed in novel settings, a robot may see […]
