This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week's speaker will be virtual. ABSTRACT Lagrangian mechanics provides a powerful framework […]
The theory of Coherent Perfect Absorption1 (time-reversed lasing) and Reflectionless Scattering Modes2 has shown that there always exist discrete solutions to scattering of electromagnetic waves in multiple-scattering geometries that achieve […]
A crucial yet unavailable component in high-performance photonic integrated circuits (ICs) and other chip-scale photonic systems is an on-chip light source that is efficient, functional, IC-compatible, and electronically addressable. In […]
*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 as well as virtually via Zoom. This seminar will NOT be recorded. ABSTRACT This talk has two parts. First, I will […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT In 2022 I represented Agility Robotics at the first “Philadelphia Summit” […]
Synchronized operation of a large number of similar entities can generate behavior that cannot be expected from single one. This principle combined with the physical concept of coherence in waves […]
*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 as well as virtually via Zoom. ABSTRACT Foundation models, such as GPT-4 Vision, have marked significant achievements in the fields of natural […]
Learning-based model predictive control (MPC) is an increasingly prominent control paradigm in recent years. One primary approach in learning-based MPC is to leverage machine or deep learning tools to construct […]
Fluorinated polymers offer a plethora of unique and sometimes perplexing properties. One of the most interesting is the ability for specific types of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to undergo room-temperature, sheer-induced, structural […]
This talk presents novel non-parametric methods for analyzing dynamical systems using solely trajectory data. Our critical insight is to replace the notion of invariance, a core concept in Lyapunov Theory, […]
Sociotechnical systems enable large-scale connection and the dissemination of timely, engaging information. However, these systems are shaped by complex, often invisible governance structures—comprising rules, roles, and relationships—that significantly influence how […]
