November 16, 2021 -ESE 2021 Jack Keil Wolf Lecture – “MEMS: the Transition from “Four-Letter-Word” to “Trendy””
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Flying Modular Robots: From Self-Assembling Structures in Midair to Embedding Grasping Capabilities”
Flying modular robots offer a suitable autonomous platform for multiple applications such as: search and rescue, cargo lifting, and object transportation. In addition, modular robots in a swarm can use their own bodies as building units to assemble large structures. This thesis introduces ModQuad, the self-assembly structure that can cooperatively fly based on autonomous modules. […]
ESE 2021 Jack Keil Wolf Lecture – “MEMS: the Transition from “Four-Letter-Word” to “Trendy””
Thirty years ago, semiconductor manufacturers (wafer fabs) rolled their eyes and muttered under their breath when they heard the word MEMS. Micro-Electromechanical Mechanical Systems are minute mechanical devices built on silicon integrated circuit wafers. They are the microphones, gravity sensors, oscillators, motion sensors, electronic filters in your cell-phone – and more. MEMS processes were “weird”. […]

November 18, 2021 -MSE Thesis Defense: “Ultra-High-Resolution Patterning and Pattern Transfer via Nanocrystal Colloidal Lithography”
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Graph Convolutions for Teams of Robots”
In many applications in robotics, there exist teams of robots operating in dynamic environments requiring the design of complex communication and control schemes. The problem is made easier if one assumes the presence of an oracle that has instantaneous access to states of all entities in the environment and can communicate simultaneously without any loss. […]
BE Seminar: “Ionic Liquid-based Therapeutics” (Samir Mitragotri)
This seminar will be held virtually on zoom - check your email for the link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Ionic liquids, the liquid salts comprising organic anions and cations, offer exciting opportunities for several therapeutic applications. Their tunable properties offer control over their design and function. Starting with biocompatible ions, we synthesized a library of ionic […]
MSE Thesis Defense: “Ultra-High-Resolution Patterning and Pattern Transfer via Nanocrystal Colloidal Lithography”
The ability to design, pattern, and process materials at the nanoscale has enabled vast research opportunities ranging from fundamental science to technological applications and device integration. The continued development of nanoscience and nanotechnology relies upon pushing the limits of nanoscale fabrication capabilities. After decades of development, this frontier has moved to the sub-10 nm length […]

GRASP on Robotics: “Learning and Influencing Conventions in Interactive Robotics”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom Webinar here. There have been significant advances in the field of robot learning in the past decade. However, many challenges still remain when studying how robot learning can advance interactive agents such as robots that collaborate […]
MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “High Throughput Immunospecific Detection and Analysis of Subcellular Nanomaterials at the Single Particle Level”
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown great potential in diagnostics, therapeutics, and have been discovered to play a key role in intercellular communication. The study of EVs in biological fluids has proven challenging due to the nanoscale size of EVs (30 nm-1 µm diameter), the enormous quantity of EVs present in clinical samples (e.g. 10E10/mL), and […]
