    MEAM Seminar: “Fluids, Fingers, Fractures and Fractals: Patterns in Porous Media”

    October 14, 2025 @ 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The displacement of one fluid by another in a porous medium gives rise to a rich variety of hydrodynamic instabilities. Beyond their scientific value as fascinating models of pattern formation, unstable porous-media flows are essential to understanding many natural and man-made processes, including water infiltration in the vadose zone, carbon dioxide injection and storage in […]

    ESE Guest Seminar: “Post-Moore Datacenters Are Hot Beyond Belief”

    October 14, 2025 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 306 3317 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Datacenters are the pillars of a digital economy and modern-day global IT services. The building blocks for today's datacenters are cost-effective volume servers that find their roots in the basic hardware and OS organization of the desktops of 90s with a fundamental mismatch with workloads and services. Meanwhile, there are several technological trends (e.g., slowdown […]

    ASSET Seminar: “Auditing Large Language Model Ecosystems: From Model Outputs to Agentic System Deployment”

    October 15, 2025 @ 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM /
    Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States

    Abstract TBD   Zoom: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/97546234895

    Fall 2025 GRASP SFI: Rao Fu, Brown University, “From Words to Worlds: Bridging Linguistic and Spatial Physical Intelligence”

    October 15, 2025 @ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom.  ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence has achieved remarkable advances in linguistic intelligence, enabling machines to process and generate language proficiently. Yet to truly assist people in everyday life, machines must also develop spatial physical intelligence—the ability to perceive, interpret, and act […]

    CBE Seminar: “Electrochemical Ion Pumping: Concept, Theory, and Application” (Shihong Lin, Vanderbilt University)

    October 15, 2025 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Wu & Chen Auditorium

    Abstract: Advancements in electrochemical separation have paved the way for innovative approaches to address critical challenges in water treatment and resource recovery. In this seminar, I will introduce the Electrochemical Ion Pumping (EIP) platform, a transformative new approach to electrochemical separation that addresses the inherent limitations of conventional capacitive deionization and electrosorption. EIP leverages circuit-switching-induced […]

    MSE Seminar: “From Nature to Engineering: Biological Blueprints for Next Generation Advanced Materials” David Kisailus – University of California – Irvine

    October 16, 2025 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Wu & Chen Auditorium

    Organisms have derived specific sets of traits in response to common selection pressures that serve as guideposts for optimal biological designs. A prime example is the evolution of toughened structures in disparate lineages within plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates 1-4. Extremely tough structures can function much like armor, battering rams, or reinforcements that enhance the ability […]

    ESE Fall Seminar – “Distributional Control: From Robotic Motion Planning to Generative AI”

    October 16, 2025 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Uncertainty propagation and mitigation is at the core of all robotic and control systems. The standard approach so far has followed the spirit of controlling a system “with uncertainties,” as opposed to the direct control “of uncertainties.” Borrowing ideas from the classical Optimal Mass Transport (OMT) and Schrödinger Bridge problems, distributional control has recently emerged […]

    FOLDS seminar: A New Paradigm for Learning with Distribution Shift

    October 16, 2025 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM /
    Eyebrow

    Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98220304722   We revisit the fundamental problem of learning with distribution shift, where a learner is given labeled samples from training distribution D, unlabeled samples from test distribution D′ and is asked to output a classifier with low test error. The standard approach in this setting is to prove a generalization bound in terms of […]

    Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture – Jeffrey A. Hubbell, “Molecular Engineering to Tip Immune Balances between Tolerance and Aggression”

    October 16, 2025 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
    Friday Oct 17

    Fall 2025 GRASP on Robotics: Parastoo Abtahi, Princeton University, “When Robots Disappear – From Haptic Illusions in VR to Object-Oriented Interactions in AR”

    October 17, 2025 @ 10:30 AM - 11:45 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This event will be in-person ONLY in Wu and Chen Auditorium. ABSTRACT Advances in audiovisual rendering have led to the commercialization of virtual reality (VR); however, haptic technology has not kept up with these advances. While a variety of robotic systems aim to address this gap by simulating the sensation of touch, many hardware limitations […]

    CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Configuration Matters: Unveiling Cis-Regulatory Arrangement as a Mechanism of Transcriptional Fine-Tuning” (Emilia Leyes Porello)

    October 17, 2025 @ 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM /
    Towne 337

    Abstract: The precise regulation of gene expression depends on coordinated enhancer-promoter (E-P) interactions, yet the principles governing how enhancer configuration influences transcription remain unclear. Classical models describe enhancers as modular and independent of orientation or relative positioning, but accumulating evidence suggests these assumptions may not hold true. To investigate this problem, systematic manipulations of enhancer […]

    PICS Colloquium: Complex Polymer Design in the Age of AI: Why, What, and How?

    October 17, 2025 @ 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM /
    PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Polymers are essential to a wide range of technologies, yet designing them with targeted structural and functional properties remains a grand challenge. A major opportunity lies in applying machine learning to help navigate the vast combinatorial design space—spanning sequence, composition, architecture, morphology, processing, and more—to discover new formulations or replace existing ones with more sustainable […]
