MEAM Seminar: “Biomimetic Design of Marine Robots and Sensors”
Inspiration from animal function can lead to effective design of engineered systems. Ocean systems benefit especially as operation in a heavy medium such as water imparts significant forces. We provide two examples of biomimetic design. In the first example, morphing fins inspired from tunas are used to dynamically change the directional stability qualities of rigid […]
ESE Spring Seminar – “New Frontiers in Quantum Simulation and Computation with Neutral Atom Arrays”
Learning how to create, study, and manipulate highly entangled states of matter is key to understanding exotic phenomena in condensed matter and high energy physics, as well as to the development of useful quantum computers. In this talk, I will discuss recent experiments where we demonstrated the realization of a quantum spin liquid phase using […]
Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture: “Nucleoside-modified mRNA-LNP therapeutics” (Drew Weissman, Perelman School of Medicine)
Vaccines prevent 4-5 million deaths a year making them the principal tool of medical intervention worldwide. Nucleoside-modified mRNA was developed over 15 years ago and has become the darling of the COVID-19 pandemic with the first 2 FDA approved vaccines based on it. These vaccines show greater than 90% efficacy and outstanding safety in clinical […]

March 30, 2022 -CIS Seminar: “Building the Reliability Stack for Machine Learning”
ESE Spring Seminar – “Building Photonic Systems for Extreme-Scale Computing, Particle Accelerations, and Beyond”
A photonic-electronic system can potentially process enormous amounts of data that no stand-alone electronics have been capable of. Furthermore, a chip-scale optical atomic clock can be so precise that it only loses the equivalent of one second every million years. In the foreseeable future, highly integrated photonics can usher disruptive advances in communications, deep learning, […]
Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Rahul Mangharam, University of Pennsylvania, “Balancing Performance and Safety in Autonomous Vehicles”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom Balancing performance and safety are crucial to deploying autonomous vehicles in multi-agent environments. In particular, autonomous racing is a domain that penalizes safe but conservative policies, highlighting the need for robust, adaptive strategies. Current approaches either make simplifying assumptions […]
CBE Seminar: “Understanding and Designing Complex Materials to Stabilize Proteins and Enable Supra-Biological Properties”
Abstract Our group is broadly focused on understanding and controlling the intersection of biology and materials at the molecular level. This intersection is critical in many areas of biotechnology where proteins and enzymes are integrated into or in constant contact with materials, including biocatalysis, tissue engineering, drug delivery, biosensing, and vaccine formulation. In line with […]

March 31, 2022 -CIS Seminar: “Towards a Foundation for Reinforcement Learning”
ESE Spring Seminar – “From Exact Laws to Design Principles of Quantum Information Machines”
Many-body quantum systems are the most powerful computers allowed by Nature. How do they work? Can we control them? Are they useful? In this talk, I discuss how recent results in quantum information theory translate into quantum engineering solutions. I introduce a geometric information measure that rigorously evaluates the difference between two complex configurations of arbitrarily […]
BE Seminar: “Engineered Systems for Controlling Cellular Microenvironments: From Synthetic Extracellular Matrices to Multidimensional Disease Models” (April M. Kloxin)
This seminar will be held in person and via zoom - check email for link. The properties of the microenvironment in which cells reside, from structure to mechanics and biochemical content, increasingly are recognized as important drivers of cell function and fate, including in the onset and progression of disease (e.g., late cancer recurrence and […]

April 1, 2022 -PICS Colloquium: “Preserving microscale features in continuum models of fiber network materials”
GRASP on Robotics: Kevin Lynch, Northwestern University, “Robot manipulation research in the Center for Robotics and Biosystems”
*This seminar will be held in-person in Wu and Chen Auditorium as well as virtually via Zoom. Research at the Center for Robotics and Biosystems at Northwestern University encompasses bio-inspiration, neuromechanics, human-machine systems, and swarm robotics, among other topics. In this talk I will give an overview of some of our recent work, with a particular […]
PICS Colloquium: “Preserving microscale features in continuum models of fiber network materials”
Fiber networks at different length scales represent a prevalent microstructure of highly deformable materials and biological matter. At the microscale, these fiber networks are key for the function of biological systems, while at the macroscale they endow materials with striking characteristics, such as unusual kinematic behavior and high defect tolerance. Resolving the microstructure in discrete […]
