    • BE Seminar: “Intratumoral Immunotherapy Principles and Practice” (Noor Momin)

    /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom – check email for zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Immunotherapies harness the body’s immune system to fight disease. Such therapies can help unleash an immune attack against diseased tissues but can inadvertently instigate an attack on healthy tissues. As a result, many promising immunotherapies face […]

    GRASP on Robotics: Stefanos Nikolaidis, University of Southern California, “Towards Robust Human-Robot Interaction: A Quality Diversity Approach”

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

    The growth of scale and complexity of interactions between humans and robots highlights the need for new computational methods to automatically evaluate novel algorithms and applications. Exploring the diverse scenarios of interaction between humans and robots in simulation can improve understanding of complex human-robot interaction systems and avoid potentially costly failures in real-world settings. In […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Uncovering the Rules of Crumpling with a Data-Driven Approach”

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

    When a sheet of paper is crumpled, it spontaneously develops a network of creases. Despite the apparent disorder of this process, statistical properties of crumpled sheets exhibit striking reproducibility. Recent experiments have shown that when a sheet is repeatedly crumpled, the total crease length grows logarithmically . This talk will offer insight into this surprising […]

    Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Nikos Kolotouros, University of Pennsylvania, “Reconstructing 3D Humans from Images”

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

    The past decade we have seen remarkable progress in Computer Vision, mainly fueled by the recent advances in Deep Learning. Unsurprisingly, human perception has been the center of attention. We now have access to systems that can work remarkably well for traditional 2D tasks like segmentation or pose estimation. However, scaling this to 3D remains […]

    CBE Seminar: “Investigating Biomedical Challenges Through State-of-the-Art DNA-based Technology”

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

    Abstract DNA can serve purposes beyond conveying hereditary information – its highly specific Watson-Crick base pairing can also be used to direct the assembly of cells, nanoparticles, and proteins. Recently developed in the Sohn lab , high-throughput DNA-directed patterning takes advantage of the versatile and iterative aspects of photolithography to define clearly regions on an […]
