MEAM Seminar: “Architected Nanoscale Plates for Thermionic Energy Conversion and Relativistic Interstellar Travel”
Architected plates feature geometrical patterns that provide advantageous mechanical properties, such as an enhanced bending stiffness or a reduced tendency to tear. In this talk I will introduce our research group’s multiscale hexagonally patterned corrugated plates, which have nano-scale film thicknesses, micron-scale total heights, and square-centimeter-scale lateral area dimensions. I will first explain how we […]
ESE Fall Colloquium – “Processing in Memory: Past, Present, and Future”
Applications are increasingly data-intensive and bound by the performance of the memory and/or storage system. This “memory wall” arises from several factors: the volume of data is increasing exponentially, outstripping cache capacities; many applications extensively use streaming data with little or no temporal reuse; as algorithms become more sophisticated, access patterns are often unfriendly to […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Selective Catalytic Reactions for Taking Furan-Based Compounds to Useful Chemicals”
Abstract: "Efforts have been devoted to understanding the upgrading of plant-based biomass waste into useful chemicals to replace the current petrochemical production. An extensive amount of work has been accomplished in the past few decades but there are still many uncertainties. The transformation of furanic compounds, which present a major fraction in lignocellulosic biomass, is […]
CEMB Future Leaders: “Immuno-stromal axes in pulmonary and biomaterial-mediate fibrosis”
Launched in May 2021, the Future Leaders in Mechanobiology is a monthly seminar series featuring up-and-coming leaders in mechanobiology–PhD students and postdocs from a wide range of fields, backgrounds, and institutions. By providing an international stage to share one’s work and opportunities to interact with researchers at all career stages, we aim to create an inclusive and […]
BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Biofabrication approaches with hyaluronic acid hydrogels for cartilage repair” (Jonathan Galarraga)
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Jason Burdick are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Jonathan Galarraga. Title: "Biofabrication approaches with hyaluronic acid hydrogels for cartilage repair" Date: Wednesday, December 15, 2021 Time: 12:00 PM Location: Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology and Zoom Zoom Information: JONATHAN GALARRAGA […]
Fall 2021 GRASP Seminar: Heng Yang, “Certifiable Outlier-Robust Geometric Perception: Robots that See through the Clutter with Confidence”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance for Dr. Malikopoulos’ in-person talk in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom Webinar here. Geometric perception is the task of estimating geometric models (e.g., object pose and 3D structure) from sensor measurements and priors (e.g., point clouds and neural network detections). Geometric perception […]

December 16, 2021 -BE Seminar: “Neural Engineering and the Primate Brain: Working at the Electrical and Optical Interface” (Bijan Pesaran)
ESE Fall Colloquium – “Harnessing Piezoelectricity in Novel Microsystems for Classical and Quantum Information Processing”
Piezoelectricity is the intrinsic coupling between electric fields and strains in materials. While piezoelectric sensors, actuators, and RF filters are ubiquitous and important components of existing microsystems, their potential is still largely underutilized in many application spaces. In this talk, I will discuss the physics, engineering, and applications of two novel classes of piezoelectrically enabled […]
