EWaste Collection
We will be collecting EWASTE items in Levine Lobby on Tuesday in support of Energy Week @ Penn campaign. This is a great opportunity to properly recycle non-traditional items such as: computers & printers computer accessories (keyboards, mice) Monitors, TVs, Displays Mobile phones household electronics (anything with a plug!) light bulbs non-recyclable glass
MEAM Seminar: “Architecture in Biological Materials: A Template for Toughness Enhancement, or a Siren Song?”
Structural biological materials, such as animal bones and shells, display remarkable mechanical properties despite being composed of quite simple and ordinary constituent materials. For example, the toughness of nacre, a structural biological material found in the shells of some mollusks, is orders of magnitude higher than that of its primary constituent—the calcium based mineral aragonite. […]
CBE Thesis Defense: “A Heterogeneous and Multiscale Modeling Framework to Develop Patient-Specific Pharmacodynamic System Models in Cancer”
Thesis Committee: Ravi Radhakrishnan, Ph.D., advisor; Dennis Discher, PhD; Scott Diamond, PhD; and Wei Guo, PhD
CIS Seminar: “Learning in dynamic environments”
Abstract: In many online systems participants use data and algorithms to experiment and learn how to best use the system. Examples include traffic routing as well as online auctions. Game theory classically studies Nash equilibrium as the outcome of selfish interaction, and has many examples illustrating that selfish behavior can lead to suboptimal outcome for […]

October 23, 2019 -CBE Seminar: “Toward Platinum-free Fuel Cells for Affordable Zero-emission Vehicles”
ESE Seminar: “Foundations of Deep Learning and Applications in Medicine”
Abstract: Recent advances in machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics, offer a tremendous opportunity to transform medicine, from reactive and hospital centered to proactive and patient-centered. To fulfill this promise, new methods need to be developed which are more interpretable, can handle data at multiple spatial and temporal scales, and are robust […]
CBE Seminar: “Toward Platinum-free Fuel Cells for Affordable Zero-emission Vehicles”
Abstract: One of the grand challenges facing humanity today is the development of an alternative energy system that is safe, clean, and sustainable. A Distributed Renewable Electrochemical Energy and Mobility System (DREEMS) can meet this challenge. At the foundation of this new energy system, we have chosen to study fuel cells, electrolyzers, and flow batteries. […]

October 25, 2019 -PRiML Seminar: “Nonconvex Optimization Meets Statistics: A Few Recent Stories”
PICS Seminar: Isogeometric Methods for Solids, Structures, and Fluid-Structure Interaction: From Early Results to Recent Developments
Abstract: This presentation is focused on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) with applications to solids and structures, starting with early developments and results, and transitioning to more recent work. Novel IGA-based thin-shell formulations are discussed, and applications to progressive damage modeling in composite laminates due to low-velocity impact and their residual-strength prediction are shown. Fluid--structure interaction (FSI) employing […]
PRiML Seminar: “Nonconvex Optimization Meets Statistics: A Few Recent Stories”
Recent years have seen a flurry of activity in solving statistical estimation and learning problems via nonconvex optimization. While conventional wisdom often takes a dim view of nonconvex optimization algorithms due to their susceptibility to spurious local minima, simple iterative methods such as gradient descent have been remarkably successful in practice. The theoretical footings, however, […]
