April 9, 2019 -CIS Seminar: “Towards a New Synthesis of Reasoning and Learning”
MEAM Seminar: “Integrating Manufacturing and Topological Optimization for the Design of Architected Materials and Components”
Topology optimization has long been touted as a powerful tool capable of discovering innovative solutions to engineering design problems. It has been used to design 'structures' characterized at a range of length scales, from tens of microns (material architectures) to decameters (structures), for performance properties governed by a range of physics. Despite its tremendous potential […]
CIS Seminar: “Towards a New Synthesis of Reasoning and Learning”
This talk discusses the role of logical reasoning in statistical machine learning. While their unification has been a long-standing and crucial open problem, automated reasoning and machine learning are still disparate fields within artificial intelligence. I will describe recent progress towards their synthesis in three facets. I start with a very practical question: how can […]

2019 Heilmeier Lecture: “Cell-Matrix Interactions in Cancer and Fibrosis: Multiscale Chemo-Mechanical Models”
Cell invasion into the surrounding matrix from nonvascularized primary tumors is the main mechanism by which cancer cells migrate to nearby blood vessels and metastasize to eventually form secondary tumors. This process is mediated by an intricate coupling between intracellular forces and extracellular forces that depend on the stiffness of the surrounding stroma and the […]

April 11, 2019 -CIS Seminar: ” Deep Learning for Network Biomedicine”
CIS Seminar: ” Deep Learning for Network Biomedicine”
Abstract: Large datasets are being generated that can transform biology and medicine. New machine learning methods are necessary to unlock these data and open doors for scientific discoveries. In this talk, I will argue that, in order to advance science, machine learning models should not be trained in the context of one particular dataset. Instead, […]

April 12, 2019 -The Joy of Being Faculty: How I Devised My Research Program
The Joy of Being Faculty: How I Devised My Research Program
This professional development workshop is designed to provide Penn Engineering graduate students and postdocs with a richer understanding of what it is like to pursue a career in academia from those that have navigated the process successfully. Deputy Dean Kathleen J. Stebe (SEAS) will lead this extemporaneous panel discussions with a mix of both tenured […]
