October 25, 2021 -CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Process Development and Modeling for the Advancement of Direct Air Capture Technologies”
CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Process Development and Modeling for the Advancement of Direct Air Capture Technologies”
Abstract: "As the catastrophic effects of climate change are felt throughout our global society, we must take immediate action. A portfolio of climate solutions must include both deep and robust decarbonization, and systems to remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. One promising suite of carbon removal technologies is Direct Air Capture (DAC). DAC refers […]

October 26, 2021 -MEAM Seminar: “Robotics Goes Soft: Challenges and Achievements, for New Robotics Scenarios”
MEAM Seminar: “Robotics Goes Soft: Challenges and Achievements, for New Robotics Scenarios”
Largely inspired by the observation of the role of soft tissues in living organisms, the use of soft materials for building robots is recognized as one of the current challenges for pushing the boundaries of robotics technologies and building robotic systems for service tasks in natural environments. The study of living organisms sheds light on […]

ODEI Spotlight: Diversity Lecture Series at Penn, “Addressing a More Complex and Encompassing Understanding of Identity”
Speaker: Melissa E. Sanchez, Ph.D. Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies Topic: Addressing a More Complex and Encompassing Understanding of Identity Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2021 Time: 12 Noon to 1:00 PM Link: : https://upenn.zoom.us/j/93398784741?pwd=dmpPUFd6d2dHZmYwckRIdjhsWngzdz09
Fall 2021 GRASP SFI: “Physics-inspired learning for discontinuous contact dynamics”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom here… Frictional contact is the core underlying behavior of robot locomotion and manipulation, and its nearly-discontinuous dynamics make planning and control challenging even when an accurate model of the robot is available. In this talk, I will first […]

October 28, 2021 -BE Seminar: “Systems-level Analyses of the Human Gut Microbiome” (Ilana Lauren Brito)
ESE Fall Colloquium Seminar – “Transforming Ideas to Reality: Emerging Nanotechnologies from the “Lab” to the “Fab””
Emerging nanotechnologies promise to enable a wide-range of next-generation applications - from energy-efficient computing to personalized healthcare. Yet many emerging nanotechnologies face substantial inherent imperfections and variations that have rendered making working systems - and therefore the next-generation applications they promise to enable - infeasible. In this talk, I will describe how by computing advances […]
MSE Grace Hopper Lecture: “Optics on the Nanoscale: Conquering Absorption with Nonlinear Optics”
Optical nanostructures enable molding the flow of light on the subwavelength scale rendering possible the realization of compact, cost-effective, flat and highly efficient optical components for imaging, spectroscopy, sensing, and communications. From the fundamental science viewpoint, light-matter interactions at the nanoscale reveal themselves in new and often unexpected ways. In fact, the usual linear and […]
BE Seminar: “Systems-level Analyses of the Human Gut Microbiome” (Ilana Lauren Brito)
This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom – check your email for the link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. A major question regarding the human gut microbiota is: by what mechanisms do our most intimately associated organisms affect human health? In this talk, I will present several systems-level approaches that we have developed to […]

October 29, 2021 -PICS Colloquium: “A model for external aerodynamics based on building-block flows”
GRASP on Robotics: “Planning on Graphs of Convex Sets”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom Webinar here. Motivated by the challenging problems in planning and control through contact, our group has been working to connect more deeply the motion planning formulations we often use in robotics with a different lineage of […]
BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Mechano-regulation of meniscus development and maturation” (Tonia Tsinman)
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Rob Mauck are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Tonia Tsinman. Title: "Mechano-regulation of meniscus development and maturation" Date: October 29, 2021 Time: 11:00am The public is welcome to attend via zoom at the following link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98160257924
PICS Colloquium: “A model for external aerodynamics based on building-block flows”
Abstract: A wall model for large-eddy simulation is proposed by devising the flow as a collection of building blocks, whose information enables the prediction of the stress as the wall. The core assumption of the model is that simple canonical flows (such as turbulent channel flows, boundary layers, pipes, ducts, speed bumps, etc) contain the […]
