Beyond Techno-Economics: Responsible Deployment in Carbon Management
The science is clear: to avoid the worst impacts of climate change we’ll need aggressive, economy-wide decarbonization in combination with atmospheric carbon removal at the billion-ton scale. These efforts will require unprecedented management of carbon dioxide through strategic technical deployment and infrastructure buildout. But given the rapid pace and scale of deployment ahead, how can we […]

MEAM Seminar: “Materials and Manufacturing Solutions for Sustainable Energy”
In response to the grave and escalating threat of climate change, the US Department of Energy has announced a series of ambitious Energy Earth Shot Initiatives. These target an 80% reduction in the cost of clean hydrogen by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The first of the initiatives focuses on establishing a green […]
LRSM Special Lecture: “Pursuing a Scientific Career at a National Laboratory”
If you are finishing your PhD or your postdoctoral tenure you may be asking yourself, What’s next? Should I pursue an academic career, as my thesis adviser or postdoctoral supervisor has done? Or should I look elsewhere, perhaps at industry, or government? These are great questions that most of us have asked ourselves at the […]
BE Seminar: “Studying the Neural basis of Natural Spatial, Social and Acoustic Behaviors – in Freely Behaving and Flying Bats” (Michael Yartsev, UC Berkeley)
This is a hybrid seminar that will take place in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom (check email for link and passcode). Our lab seeks to understand the neural basis of complex spatial, acoustic and social behaviors in mammals. To do so, we take a neuroethological approach that leverages the specialization of the bat […]

ASSET Seminar: What Transfers in Transfer Learning?, Eric Wong (University of Pennsylvania)
Abstract: Recently, the transfer learning paradigm has seen a surge of interest due to its impressive capabilities in vision and language. Models are pretrained on ever-growing datasets with enormous parameter counts, trending towards being monolithic and opaque. How can we understand the underlying process? This talk will provide, to some degree, insight on how data […]
Impacts of Climate Change on Global Water Resources and Engineering Solutions
This panel will examine the impact of climate change on global water resources and how these impacts have affected people in the global south. From droughts that have led to crop failures to floods that have damaged crops and property, it is obvious that climate change has brought extremes in weather and has compromised the […]
Fall 2022 GRASP SFI: Sonia Chernova, Georgia Institute of Technology, “Semantic-Driven Robot Assistance and User Interaction”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Reliable operation in everyday human environments – homes, offices, and businesses – remains elusive for today’s robotic systems. A key challenge is diversity, as no two homes or businesses are exactly alike. However, despite the innumerable unique aspects […]

October 13, 2022 -MSE Seminar: “Additive Manufacturing of Compositionally Complex Alloys with Engineered Microstructures”
MSE Seminar: “Additive Manufacturing of Compositionally Complex Alloys with Engineered Microstructures”
The increasing demand for structural metals has driven increasingly complex compositions, which bring critical challenges in processing of these materials. Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is a disruptive technology for creating structural materials and components in a single print. In this talk, I will present our recent work on additive manufacturing of compositionally complex […]

Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: Victoria Webster-Wood, Carnegie Mellon University, “It’s Alive! Bioinspired and biohybrid approaches towards life-like and living robots”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Animals have long served as an inspiration for robotics. However, the adaptability, complex control, and advanced learning capabilities observed in animals are not yet fully understood, and therefore have not been fully captured by current robotic systems. Furthermore, […]
PICS Colloquium, “Sound Attenuation and the Vibrational Properties of Glasses”
Abstract: Understanding of the universal low-temperature properties of glasses and why they differ from their crystalline counterparts requires the understanding of the vibrational properties of glasses. Due to recent advances of computational techniques, we are now able to study simulated glasses with a wide range of vibrational properties, which is essential to understanding their role […]
