MEAM Seminar: “Continuum Mechanics of Non-equilibrium Phenomena: A Journey Through Space and Time Scales”
The fascinating diversity of material behavior at the macroscopic scale, including plasticity, phase transformations, viscoelasticity or diffusion, can only emerge from the underlying atomistic or particle behavior. Yet, the direct connection between these two scales for non-equilibrium phenomena remains an extremely challenging quest from both a theoretical and computational perspective. This knowledge gap currently hinders […]
ESE Fall Colloquium Seminar – “Alpha-loss: A Tunable Class of Loss Functions for Robust Learning”
Machine learning has dramatically enhanced the role of automated decision making across a variety of domains. There are three ingredients that are at the heart of designing of sound ML algorithms: data, learning architectures, and loss functions. In this talk, we focus on loss functions and the role of information theory in understanding the choice […]
CIS Seminar: “Synthetic Data: Anonymisation Groundhog Day”
Synthetic data has been advertised as a silver-bullet solution to privacy-preserving data publishing that addresses the shortcomings of traditional anonymisation techniques. The promise is that synthetic data drawn from generative models preserves the statistical properties of the original dataset but, at the same time, provides perfect protection against privacy attacks. In this work, we present the first […]

December 9, 2021 -BE Seminar: “Tissue-Inspired Synthetic Biomaterials” (Shelly Peyton)
ESE Fall Colloquium Seminar – “Data Compression: From Classical to Modern”
Lossy data compression is a vital, if hidden, enabling technology. This virtual seminar would be impossible without data compression! Existing compression standards for images and audio rely on a "classical" theory of compression that models sources as stationary Gaussian processes. This theory is quite mature, and it provides remarkable insights into how to compress Gaussian […]
MSE Seminar: “Topological Quantum Phases, Novel Superconductors, and Ultra-Thin Films Beyond Graphene”
Dr. Bansil will discuss some of his recent work aimed at understanding the electronic structure and spectroscopy of novel superconductors, topological materials, and atomically thin 2D films and battery materials. Illustrative examples will include: (i) How by exploiting electronic structure techniques we have been able to successfully predict and understand the characteristics of many new […]
BE Seminar: “Tissue-Inspired Synthetic Biomaterials” (Shelly Peyton)
This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom - check your email for the zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Improved experimental model systems are critically needed to better understand cancer progression and bridge the gap between lab bench proof-of-concept studies, validation in animal models, and eventual clinical application. Many methods exist to create […]
