    • ESE Spring Colloquium – “Quantum Many-Body Physics in the NISQ Era”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Rapid progress in quantum computing technologies is ushering in a new era for quantum many-body physics. Today's noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, while still far from fault-tolerant quantum computers, are exceptional laboratory systems, with large many-body Hilbert spaces and unprecedented capabilities for control and measurement. This allows the exploration of quantum dynamics in new far-from-equilibrium […]

    Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Marc Finzi, New York University, “Embedding Symmetries and Conservation Laws in Deep Learning Models for Dynamical Systems”

    /
    Levine 512

    *This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom In contrast to traditional control systems where detailed dynamics models are constructed from a mix of physical understanding and empirical data, machine learning for intuitive physics, reinforcement learning, and robotics often takes a hands off approach treating the dynamics […]

    CBE Seminar: “Beyond Ethanol: A Process and Systems Engineering Framework for the Design of Advanced Biofuels”

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

    Abstract In my talk, I will present my work on the application of process and systems engineering techniques to the design of integrated biorefineries that produce middle distillates (jet fuel and diesel). Unlike gasoline, demand for middle distillates is expected to increase over the next 30 years, and electrification and decarbonization of sectors where middle […]

    ESE Spring Colloquium – “Provably Robust Algorithms for Prediction and Control”

    /
    Zoom - Meeting ID 958 3045 4776

    Feedback-driven decision-making systems are at the emerging frontier of machine learning applications. Upcoming applications of societal consequence, such as self-driving vehicles and smartwatch-based health interventions, have to contend with the challenge of operating in reactive stateful environments. In this talk, I will describe my work on designing principled robust algorithms for feedback-driven learning, with provable […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Microfluidic Devices with Capillary Circuits for User-friendly, Low-cost, Multiplexed Point-of-care, Molecular Diagnostics”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Rapid, sensitive, and specific detection is key to personalized medicine and to the prompt implementation of appropriate mitigation measures to reduce disease transmission, mortality, morbidity, and cost. Conventional molecular detection methods require trained personnel and specialized laboratories, which limits their use to centralized laboratories. Microfluidics enables point-of-care testing. In this talk, I will show how […]

    GRASP on Robotics: Jia Deng, Princeton University, “Toward Dense 3D Reconstruction in the Wild”

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

    This seminar will be held in person in Wu and Chen Auditorium as well as virtually via Zoom. Reconstructing depth and motion of every pixel for arbitrary scenes is a core problem in 3D vision with many downstream applications. In this talk, I will describe some of our recent efforts toward this goal, including various […]

    PICS Colloquium “Driving physics of inverted flag flapping”

    /
    Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

    Abstract: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is ubiquitous in the natural and engineered world, and a better understanding of FSI systems can aid in the design of renewable energy harvesting technologies, bio-inspired propulsion vehicles, and biomedical devices (to name a few applications). In this talk we will investigate “inverted” flag flapping, in which the flag is clamped at its […]

    PSOC@Penn Seminar: Leyuan Ma, PhD

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Physical Sciences in Oncology Center PSOC@Penn Spring 2022 Hybrid-Seminar Series Towne 225 / Raisler Lounge @ Noon (EST) For Zoom link , please contact manu@seas.upenn.edu

    • MEAM Seminar: “Unknown Unknowns in Designing Porous Intercalation Electrodes for Batteries”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Many batteries, including the state-of-the-art Lithium-ion technology, use porous intercalation electrodes. In such electrodes, energy is stored in the form of ions intercalating in particles. The conventional approach to designing such electrodes relies on using the porous electrode theory to upscale particle-scale behavior to the electrode-scale response. In this talk, I will discuss unusual material […]
