January 24, 2022 -BE Seminar: “Visualizing the Unseen: Enabling Precision Oncology Through Microenvironment-Triggered Diagnostics and Therapeutics” (Liangliang Hao)
BE Seminar: “Visualizing the Unseen: Enabling Precision Oncology Through Microenvironment-Triggered Diagnostics and Therapeutics” (Liangliang Hao)
The successful integration of precision diagnostics with new personalized therapies opens numerous doors to improve the management of a variety of diseases. In cancer, tissue-environmental features of tumor progression and invasion, including aberrant extracellular matrix remodeling, stromal composition changes, and immune cell engagement, create engineering opportunities for use in developing novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

January 25, 2022 -MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Accelerated Design of Architected Materials with Geometric Heterogeneity for Enhanced Failure Characteristics”
MEAM Seminar: “‘Tiny-but-tough’ GaN- and Graphene-based Nanoelectronics for Extreme Harsh Environments”
Gallium nitride (GaN) nanoelectronics have operated at temperatures as high as 1000°C making it a viable platform for robust space-grade (“tiny-but-tough”) electronics and nano-satellites. Even with these major technological breakthroughs, we have just begun the “GaN revolution.” New communities are adopting this nanoelectronic platform for a multitude of emerging device applications including the following: sensing, […]
MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Accelerated Design of Architected Materials with Geometric Heterogeneity for Enhanced Failure Characteristics”
Nature provides countless examples of the use of material heterogeneity to enhance the failure properties of materials. Many biological materials, such as bone, marine shells, and fish scales, are extremely resilient to fracture and failure. These often consist of regions that are highly mineralized and stiff and regions of biopolymers that are extremely soft. In […]

January 26, 2022 -CBE Seminar: “Revealing the Unknown Dynamics of High-Energy Density Lithium-Metal Batteries”
Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Paloma Sodhi, Carnegie Mellon University, “Learning in factor graphs for tactile perception”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom Factor graphs offer a flexible and powerful framework for solving large-scale, nonlinear inference problems as encountered in robot perception. Typically these methods rely on handcrafted models that are efficient to optimize. However, robots often perceive the world through […]
CBE Seminar: “Revealing the Unknown Dynamics of High-Energy Density Lithium-Metal Batteries”
Abstract High-energy density batteries will play a remarkable role in hurdling global climate change. My research focuses on the fundamental understandings of their electrochemical reaction mechanisms and the design of materials, protocols, and characterization tools to enable their safe operations over long-term use. First, I will discuss about the previously overlooked dynamics of detached lithium […]

January 27, 2022 -CIS Seminar: “Social Reinforcement Learning”
MSE Seminar: “Engineering Organoid Models for Understanding Human Neurodevelopment and neurological disorders”
Human Induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) has the potential to generate all cell types of a human body under 2D culture conditions or form organ like structures-organoids, under 3D culture conditions. Brain organoid cultures from human iPSCs have been recently developed to recapitulate the cellular composition and the cytoarchitecture of the developing brain. These hiPSC […]
ESE Spring Colloquium – “The One Learning Algorithm Hypothesis– Towards Universal Machine Learning Models and Architectures”
We revisit the “One Learning Algorithm Hypothesis” of Andrew Ng (Google Brain) according to which the brain of higher-level animals and of humans processes and perceives sensory data (vision, sound, haptics) with the same abstract algorithmic architecture. We develop models, based on our earlier work on automatic target recognition with radar and other sensors, face […]
BE Seminar: “Orchestrating Cellular Regeneration at Organ Scale” (Yvon Woappi)
Large scale tissue damage, such as organ failure and burn injury, is a leading cause of morbidity and death. However, the mechanisms underlying full regeneration of organs remain poorly understood. As the largest organ system in the body, the integumentary system is a composite tissue assembly evolutionarily adapted for healing. Consequently, its complex physiology requires […]

January 28, 2022 -GRASP on Robotics: Andreas Malikopoulos, University of Delaware, “Separation of Learning and Control for Cyber-Physical Systems”
GRASP on Robotics: Andreas Malikopoulos, University of Delaware, “Separation of Learning and Control for Cyber-Physical Systems”
*This will be a VIRTUAL Event with attendance via Zoom Webinar here. Cyber-physical systems (CPS), in most instances, represent systems of subsystems with an informationally decentralized structure. To derive optimal control strategies for such systems, we typically assume an ideal model, e.g., controlled transition kernel. Such model-based control approaches cannot effectively facilitate optimal solutions with […]
