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 […]
Abstract: Performance of control systems depend on the nature of available measurements. Perception of edges, keypoints, landmarks and other natural semantic features make certain coarse measurements available to control systems operating in […]
In this talk I will tell you how scaling has been the engine of progress in AI for the past five years. In the first scaling paradigm, our field scaled large […]
This is an in-person event only and is not open to the public. Event Registration and Penncards are required. A link to register for the event will be sent via […]
Abstract: Biology is characterized by a diversity of phenotypes and functions that outpace the limited molecular diversity encoded in genomes. How this is achieved is a fundamental and enduring mystery […]
This seminar will start at 3:30 PM instead of 3:00. This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT When designing […]
Machinery relies on lubrication to regulate friction and wear at contacting interfaces. As lubricants become less viscous to save energy and cost, and as new technologies like electric vehicles operate […]
The electric grid is undergoing a transformative paradigm shift, driven by sweeping changes in generation, demand, and energy storage. By 2035, solar PV alone is expected to supply 40% of […]
Mineralized tissues are paradigmatic hierarchical materials that reap synergy from structural and compositional gradients at multiple length scales in ways that are challenging to reproduce by conventional means. My laboratory […]
This seminar will be held in Moore 216 and remotely via zoom (check email for zoom link). Light refreshments will be served.
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Nature’s musculoskeletal design can inspire both artificial and living robots to […]
The intersection of machine learning (ML) and dynamical systems and control (S&C) has become a prominent area of research in recent years. While most work applies ML to S&C problems, […]
