MEAM Seminar: “Cell Polarization and Growth”
Polarization is an essential behavior of living cells, yet the dynamics of this symmetry-breaking process are not fully understood. We have developed a spatial stochastic model of cellular polarization during mating of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Specifically we investigated the ability of yeast cells to sense a spatial gradient of mating pheromone and respond by forming a […]
ESE Seminar: “Nanophotonics: A High Bandwidth Optical Neural Interface”
Abstract Light is a powerful tool for interrogating and manipulating biological systems, enabling targeted stimulation, sensing, and imaging. Optical methods such as optogenetics have transformed the study of neural circuits by making it possible to control neural activity using light. However, there remains a critical demand in research and medicine for miniaturized high resolution optical […]
Technology, Business and Government Lecture Series: Aerospace Prizes Inspire the Five I’s of Success
The United States’ future economic growth and competitiveness depend on our capacity to innovate. Americans believe that it is possible to create jobs in the aerospace and defense industry by doing what the United States does well, which is cultivating the creativity and innovative processes developed by its people. Innovation and entrepreneurship in the aerospace […]

CIS Seminar: One Size Doesn’t Fit Anyone: Tailoring Digital Tools for Personal Health Journeys
Abstract Personal technologies for everyday health management have the potential to transform healthcare by empowering individuals to engage in their own care, scaffolding access to critical information, and supporting patient-centered decision-making. Currently, many personal health tools often focus only on a single task or isolated event. However, chronic illnesses are characterized by information needs and […]
CBE Faculty Candidate Seminar: Decomposition: Exploiting Structure in Chemical Systems to Solve Challenging Decision-Making Problems”
Abstract: Computational optimal decision-making tools are essential for ensuring that systems are designed, operated, and controlled in an economic and sustainable manner. Using optimization to make decisions for chemical and energy systems is particularly challenging due to the inherent presence of nonlinear process physics, both integer and continuous decisions, uncertainties in important parameters, and multiple […]
The Joy of Being Faculty PT II: How I Devised My Research Program
This professional development workshop series 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 discussion with a panel of Penn Engineering […]

February 20, 2020 -MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Uncovering atomistic mechanisms of crystallization using Machine Learning”
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Uncovering atomistic mechanisms of crystallization using Machine Learning”
Solid-liquid interfaces have notoriously haphazard atomic environments. While essentially amorphous, the liquid has short-range order and heterogeneous dynamics. The crystal, albeit ordered, contains a plethora of defects ranging from adatoms to dislocation-created spiral steps. All these elements are of paramount importance in the crystal growth process, which makes the crystallization kinetics challenging to describe concisely […]
