MEAM Seminar: “Viscoelastic Biopolymer Networks Model Fibrotic Niches”
Fibrosis and remodeling of extracellular matrix are involved in many diseases, such as tumors, wound healing, and chronic inflammation. During fibrosis, tissues undergo changes in their viscoelastic properties, i.e., how they resist deformation like a solid and dissipate stress over time like a fluid. Our research determines the impact of viscoelasticity on inflammation in fibrotic […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Josephson parametric amplifiers for rapid, high-fidelity measurement of solid-state qubits”
Quantum physics puts a limit on how small the noise added by an amplifier can be. Limiting this extra noise, which causes unavoidable signal degradation, is an essential requirement for the measurement of weak electromagnetic signals in various areas of science and engineering. In particular, a nearly-quantum-limited microwave amplifier is a key tool for performing […]

ASSET Seminar: “Efficient and Targeted COVID-19 Border Testing Via Reinforcement Learning” (Hamsa Bastani, Penn)
ABSTRACT: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, countries relied on a variety of ad-hoc border control protocols to allow for non-essential travel while safeguarding public health: from quarantining all travellers to restricting entry from select nations based on population-level epidemiological metrics such as cases, deaths or testing positivity rates. Here we report the design and performance of […]
Fall 2023 GRASP SFI: Jim Fan, NVIDIA AI, “Generalist Agents in Open-Ended Worlds”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Autonomous agents have made great strides in specialist domains like Atari games and Go. However, they typically learn tabula rasa in isolated environments with limited objectives, thus failing to generalize across a wide spectrum of tasks and capabilities. […]
CBE Seminar: “Improving the Sustainability of Solvent-Borne Paints and Coatings through Fundamental Studies of Polymerization Reactions” (Soroush, Drexel University)
The global market size of paints and coatings (P&C) was US$164 Billion in 2022 and is forecast to grow to US$241Billion by 2030. A fast-growing sector in the P&C industries is acrylics. P&C should contain a solvent in order to be brushable/sprayable. However, in the case of solvent-borne P&C, their improved sustainability requires decreasing their […]

Fall 2023 GRASP Seminar: GRASP Research Overview – Day 2
GRASP Lab faculty confirmed presentations (where appropriate their presenters)… *This is a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Wu & Chen Auditorium and virtual attendance via Zoom. Dr. Ani Hsieh (Welcome and Introduction) Dr. Jean Gallier Dr. Michelle Johnson (presented by Francis Sowande) Dr. Vijay Kumar (presented by Jake Welde) Dr. Lingjie Liu Dr. Nik […]
Engineering Faculty Teaching Forum: “Being Accessible to Students while Preserving Your Time”
Finding time to support and mentor students can be challenging. Drs. Lee Bassett and Jennifer Lukes will start this informal conversation by sharing ideas for promoting positive relationships with students while maintaining boundaries to preserve our time. We will consider ways to use office hours efficiently, as well as ways to leverage technology to simplify […]
PICS Colloquium: “The Virtual Pregnancy: Using Computational Models to Probe Human Reproduction”
Preterm birth affects approximately ten percent of pregnancies and rates of maternal mortality in the US are rising. Computational investigations of pregnancy have great potential to explore fundamental aspects of reproductive physiology that are otherwise difficult or even impossible to investigate in humans. There are few-to-no good animal models of human pregnancy, and the […]
