March 23, 2021 -ODEI Spotlight: Discovering Gender: A Reflection on Gender Exploration
MEAM Seminar: “Exploring the Structure of Sediment-Laden Turbidity Currents”
Turbidity currents are sediment-laden turbulent shear flows that run over a sloping bed, submerged beneath a deep layer of quiescent ambient fluid, driven by the excess hydrostatic pressure. As the current travels downslope, the flow interacts with the ambient fluid layer above through entrainment at the interface. In this process, the ambient fluid is continuously […]
ODEI Spotlight: Sustaining Women’s Progress in STEM
Following Dean Kumar’s presentation, participants will break off into small groups to reflect on this topic and share their experiences as part of the overall discourse. The symposium finale will include a virtual tour of the Penn Innovation Center spotlighting female entrepreneurs at Penn.
CIS Seminar: “Prioritizing Computation and Analyst Resources in Large-scale Data Analytics”
Data volumes are growing exponentially, fueled by an increased number of automated processes such as sensors and devices. Meanwhile, the computational power available for processing this data – as well as analysts’ ability to interpret it – remain limited. As a result, database systems must evolve to address these new bottlenecks in analytics. In my […]

CBE Seminar: “Life in a Tight Spot: How Bacteria Move in Heterogeneous Media”
Abstract Bacterial motility is central to processes in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. While motility is typically studied in homogeneous environments, many bacterial habitats—e.g., soils, sediments, and biological gels/tissues—are heterogeneous porous media. Here, we use studies of E. coli in transparent 3D porous media to demonstrate how confinement in a heterogenous medium fundamentally alters motility. In particular, […]
Spring 2021 GRASP SFI: “Toward Head-Up, Hands-Off Interaction with Human-Collaborative Robots”
Abstract: Robotics is playing an increasing role in many domains, and advanced robots will eventually be applied in a variety of ways as partners to a range of users including factory workers, logistics personnel, and first responders to name a few. End-users and stakeholders are calling for developments that enable teaming of humans with robots. […]

MSE Seminar: “Future Directions in Self-Assembly for Nanopatterning”
Macromolecular self-assembly has evolved to become an important and valuable tool for bottom-up patterning and fabrication at the nanometer scale. From block copolymer lithography to nanocrystal superlattices to biomolecular assemblies, bottom-up patterning is reaching an unprecedent level of control over complex patterns at the nanoscale with an increasing degree of precision. There is no question […]
ESE Seminar: “Engineering Quantum Processors in Silicon”
Across the globe, physicists in academia and industry alike are competing to be the first to build a scalable universal quantum computer. Amongst the multitudes of quantum computing architectures, solid-state quantum processors based on spins in silicon are emerging as a strong contender. Silicon is an ideal material to host spin qubits: it supports long […]
Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture: “Biomanufacturing Vascularized Organoids and Functional Human Tissues” (Jennifer A. Lewis)
This lecture will be held virtually via Zoom (check email or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu). Recent protocols in developmental biology are unlocking the potential for stem cells to undergo differentiation and self-assembly to form "mini-organs," known as organoids. To bridge the gap from organoid building blocks (OBBs) to therapeutic functional tissues, integrative approaches that combine bottom-up organoid […]
CIS Seminar: “Graph representation learning for drug discovery”
The current pandemic highlights an acute need to develop fast therapeutics against health threats. Traditional approaches to drug discovery are expensive and slow to react to pandemics. In this talk, I will discuss how to accelerate drug discovery with deep learning, and demonstrate their success in antibiotic discovery and COVID-19 drug combination design. In computational terms, […]

GRASP/MEAM Seminar: “Towards Safe and Efficient Learning and Control for Physical Human Robot Interaction”
From factories to households, we envision a future where robots can work safely and efficiently alongside humans. For robots to truly be adopted in such dynamic environments, we must i) minimize human effort while communicating and transferring tasks to robots; ii) endow robots with the capabilities of adapting to changes in the environment, in the […]
