January 23, 2024 -MEAM Seminar: “Transport and Delivery by Active Materials”
MEAM Seminar: “Transport and Delivery by Active Materials”
One of the major challenges in robotics is controlling micromanipulation by active and adaptive materials. Existing delivery technologies often suffer from limited navigation control, low speeds, and proneness to environmental disturbances. Biology often solves these problems by collectively organizing actuation at the microscale. For example, pathogens are removed from our lungs by an active carpet […]

January 24, 2024 -CBE Seminar: “Bioinspired Protein-Based Cancer Immunotherapy” (Yanpu He, MIT)
ASSET Seminar: “Learning to Read X-Ray: Applications to Heart Failure Monitoring” (Polina Golland, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
ABSTRACT: We propose and demonstrate a novel approach to training image classification models based on large collections of images with limited labels. We take advantage of availability of radiology reports to construct joint multimodal embedding that serves as a basis for classification. We demonstrate the advantages of this approach in application to assessment of pulmonary […]
CBE Seminar: “Bioinspired Protein-Based Cancer Immunotherapy” (Yanpu He, MIT)
Abstract: Immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment over the past two decades, though only a small fraction of patients treated will achieve complete remission. As such, new paradigms to overcome resistance to immunotherapies are urgently needed. My research seeks to tailor immunotherapies towards individual differences in immune systems and the inherent heterogeneity of […]

January 25, 2024 -ESE Grace Hopper Lecture – “Disrupting NextG”
ESE Grace Hopper Lecture – “Disrupting NextG”
As 5G takes to the airwaves, we now turn our imagination to the next generation of wireless technology. The promise of this technology has created an international race to innovate, with significant investment by government as well as industry. And much innovation is needed as 6G aspires to not only support significantly higher data rates […]

January 26, 2024 -PICS Colloquium: “An introduction to neural ODEs in scientific machine learning.”
Spring 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Dinesh Manocha, University of Maryland, College Park, “Robot Navigation in Complex Indoor and Outdoor Environments”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT In the last few decades, most robotics success stories have been limited to structured or controlled environments. A major challenge is to develop robot systems that can operate in complex or unstructured environments corresponding to homes, dense traffic, […]
PICS Colloquium: “An introduction to neural ODEs in scientific machine learning.”
This is a quick introduction to neural ODEs for scientific applications. The goal is to (a) provide a modelling tool that enhances the expressivity of existing theory-driven approaches, (b) demonstrate that neural ODEs are easy to use via modern autodifferentiable software, and (c) give enough of the tips-and-tricks needed to make neural ODEs work in […]
