SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Predicting and Reducing High-Speed Jet Noise"
DESCRIPTION:The intense noise radiated by supersonic jets leads to sound-induced structural vibration\, fatigue and personnel-related operational difficulties. Experimental\, theoretical\, and computational investigations into the physics and control of jet noise have identified several important sound sources\, including wavepackets\, screech\, Mach wave radiation\, and broadband shock associated noise. Reducing the loudest sources of jet noise\, without sacrificing propulsive performance\, has relied on intuition\, parametric survey\, or optimal control techniques. With the aim of developing a more general and robust method of jet noise reduction\, we present a physics-based approach that reveals jet dynamics/mechanisms\, highlighted by a linear resolvent analysis\, crucial to the the generation of jet noise in a biconical tactical jet nozzle. Our approach uses large-eddy simulation to predict the turbulent flow within and exhausted by the jet nozzle and then identifies optimal forcing/response modes of the compressible Navier-Stokes operator\, linearized about a fully-resolved jet mean flow\, to identify and manipulate coherent structures that are primarily responsible for the production of jet noise. The operating conditions of the jet and nozzle geometry are motivated by tactical Naval aircraft.

SUMMARY:CIS Seminar: "The Long Arm of Theoretical Computer Science: A Case Study in Blockchains/Web3"
DESCRIPTION:Blockchains that support a general contract layer (e.g.\, Ethereum) export the functionality of a general-purpose\, ownerless\, and open-access computer that can enforce property rights for digital data.  How is such functionality implemented?  Using a lot of extremely cool computer science ideas! And like everywhere else in computer science\, theory plays an undeniable role in the understanding and advancement of this technology.  In this talk\, Tim Roughgarden will highlight three examples (among many): \n\nPossibility and impossibility results for permissionless consensus (i.e.\, implementing an “ownerless” computer).\nIncentive-compatible transaction fee mechanism design (part of implementing an “open-access” computer).\nSuccinct proofs of computation (for boosting the computer’s power by piggybacking on off-chain computation).\n\nParts of this talk are based on joint work with Andrew Lewis-Pye.

SUMMARY:ASSET Seminar: How to Design Molecules that Dock Well but Can't Exist\, Jacob Gardner\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:BIO \nMachine learning has become an indispensable aid to researchers developing the next generation of novel therapeutics. In this talk\, I will discuss how some of the most important problems  in virtual screening for new potential drug molecules can be cast as black-box optimization problems\, where the goal is to find molecules maximizing some desired property — for example\, the binding affinity to a known drug target. By leveraging recent work on representation learning for molecules and high dimensional black-box optimization\, we are able to achieve up to a 20x performance improvement over state of the art on several of the most widely used benchmarks for molecule design. I will then show how this powerful new approach reveals flaws in tools commonly used for computational molecule design. Even the most widely used docking simulators can be fooled by a sufficiently powerful optimizer producing molecules that could not plausibly exist in nature — a challenge reminiscent of adversarial image generation in computer vision. These findings can be mitigated to a degree through the use of constrained optimization\, but also motivate adapting lessons from robust machine learning to the docking simulators themselves.

SUMMARY:Fall 2022 GRASP SFI: Charlie Andersen and Terry Scott\, Burro\, "Founders' journey of building a robotics company in Philadelphia"
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. \nABSTRACT\nCharlie Andersen (CEO) and Terry Scott (CTO) are two of the founders of Burro. They share their origin story of Burro and we follow their journey of building a robotics company and a product intended to bring new life into an ancient industry. Off a small launchpad of accelerator funding and Charlie’s personal savings\, they build their proof of concept utility robot and target specific sectors within agriculture to garner interest and investment. With the closure of a seed round\, they embarked on turning that proof-of-concept into a functional prototype. They will share how the company\, product and technology has evolved from 4 people and an idea to a company with 33 members and growing\, with one of the largest deployed operational robotic fleets within agricultural robotics.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: “A More Sustainable Future via Polymer Circularity"
DESCRIPTION:In a Circular Economy\, atoms and molecules are kept inside the economy where they continue to produce value\, and they are kept out of unwanted places like our environment.  At a high level\, this concept applied to polymers and plastics should reduce the flow of material into the environment\, while improving efficiency and reducing demand for natural resources\, but the reality is much more complex.  When considering the full supply chain\, from design and manufacture\, to use and retrieval\, the system is full of challenges and potential for leakage.  The only way to ensure progress\, is to design changes to the system with these fundamental goals in mind\, and to build the measurement and data frameworks that can support difficult decision-making and confidence in the results.  The talk will present some NIST activities in fundamental materials design and measurement relevant to this larger need\, including polyolefin molecular design for improved recovery\, and models and processes to improve compatibilization of polymer blends relevant to mechanical recycling.

SUMMARY:CIS Seminar: "Designing Hardware for Cryptography and Cryptography for Hardware"
DESCRIPTION:There have been few high-impact deployments of hardware implementations of cryptographic \nprimitives. We present the benefits and challenges of hardware acceleration of sophisticated \ncryptographic primitives and protocols\, and describe our recent design work in accelerating \nFully Homomorphic Encryption by three to four orders of magnitude using programmable hardware \naccelerators. We argue the significant potential for synergistic codesign of cryptography and \nhardware\, where customized hardware accelerates cryptographic protocols that are designed with \nhardware acceleration in mind.\n\nJoint work with Daniel Sanchez's group at MIT.

SUMMARY:Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: Daniel Hashimoto\, University of Pennsylvania\, "Building Multidisciplinary Teams for Surgical Translation of Artificial Intelligence"
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. \nABSTRACT\n\nSurgical Data Science aims to improve the quality of interventional healthcare and its value through capture\, organization\, analysis and modelling of data. The operating room has long been siloed from in-depth review and analysis\, but recent advances in computer vision and surgical robotics offer the promise of improved understanding of intraoperative events. However\, challenges remain around collecting and annotating intraoperative data and modeling complex physiological phenomena and workflow during surgery. We will explore a few of these issues and discuss the role of multidisciplinary teams in promoting the democratization of surgical knowledge through surgical data science.
