    • CIS Seminar: “AI for Population Health: Melding Data and Algorithms on Networks”

    /
    Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

    As exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, our health and wellbeing depend on a difficult-to-measure web of societal factors and individual behaviors. My research aims to build AI which can impact such social challenges, advancing health and equity on a population level. This effort requires new algorithmic and data-driven paradigms which span the full process of gathering costly data, developing machine learning models to understand […]

    GRASP On Robotics: “Perspectives on Machine Learning for Adaptive Robotic Systems”

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    Abstract: Recent advances in machine learning are leading to new tools for designing intelligent robots: functions relied on to govern a robot’s behavior can be learned from a robot’s interaction with its environment rather than hand-designed by an engineer. Many machine learning methods assume little prior knowledge and are extremely flexible, they can model almost […]

    PICS: ” Houdini Presentation”

    /
    Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

    Cinematic scientific visualization makes three dimensional scientific phenomena approachable for mass audiences by using the artistic language of film including elements like camera choreography, lighting design, comprehensive scenic environments, and more. Cinematic scientific visualizations are an engaging way for domain experts to communicate niche information with the public, to refute widely held misconceptions, and to […]

    The Jack Keil Wolf Lecture: “Coordination of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)”

    /
    Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

    DERs are small-scale energy resources that can generate electricity, such as roof-top solar PV, store electricity, such as Tesla’s Powerwall, or whose electricity consumption can be flexibly controlled, such as EV chargers, HVACs, water heaters, and large industrial fans. DERs are located behind the meters of electricity consumers, such as in homes, commercial building and […]

    CIS Diversity Summit

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    Help make CIS a supportive and welcoming environment. All students, faculty, staff and postdocs are invited. Summit themes include increasing community in CIS; peer collaboration; how faculty can help; how to respond to microaggressions and implicit bias--both victims and bystanders; the value of a diverse TA force; productive TA-Student interaction.

    MEAM Seminar: “Design, Fabrication, and Control of Biologically Inspired Soft Robots”

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

    Robotics has the potential to address many of today’s pressing problems in fields ranging from healthcare to manufacturing to disaster relief. However, the traditional approaches used on the factory floor do not perform well in unstructured environments. The key to solving many of these challenges is to explore new, non-traditional designs. Fortunately, nature surrounds us […]

    Neuroengineering Seminar: “Advancing Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy in Movement Disorders: from surgical implantation to behavior-based responsive therapeutic stimulation” (Enrico Opri)

    /
    https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

    Sponsored by the Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics, and the Departments of Neurosurgery and Bioengineering. Join Zoom Meeting https://pennmedicine.zoom.us/j/97483734781 Meeting ID: 974 8373 4781 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become standard therapy for medically refractory patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), and other neurological disorders. The two main challenges for DBS standard-of-care are […]

    CBE Seminar: “Robots That Eat, Breathe and Bleed”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract Modern robots lack the multifunctional, interconnected chemical systems found in living organisms and, consequently, exhibit reduced efficiency and autonomy. At the same time, new advancements in chemistry are enabling synthetic materials with capabilities that surpass biological materials. This talk will discuss how advances in electrochemistry and soft materials can transform the way we build […]
