March 5, 2024 -MEAM Seminar: “Dexterous Decision-Making for Real-World Robotic Manipulation”
MEAM Seminar: “Dexterous Decision-Making for Real-World Robotic Manipulation”
For a robot to prepare a meal or clean a room, it must make a large array of decisions, such as what objects to clean first, where to grasp each ingredient and tool, how to open a heavy, overstuffed cabinet, and so on. To enable robots to tackle these tasks, I decompose the problem into […]

March 7, 2024 -BE Seminar: “Charting the future of RNA and protein sequence-structure exploration” (Kalli Kappel, MIT/Harvard)
MEAM Seminar: “Active Materials and Devices for Biomedical Applications”
In this talk, I will discuss our recent work in materials fabrication, manipulation, assembly, and manufacturing tailored towards biomedical and environmental applications. The focus is on active materials and devices enabled by materials control across a wide range of length scales. At the nanoscale, I will discuss 3D electrokinetic tweezers, an ultra-precision tool developed in […]
BE Seminar: “Charting the future of RNA and protein sequence-structure exploration” (Kalli Kappel, MIT/Harvard)
RNA and protein sequences dictate their structures, spanning multiple length scales, from molecular conformations to patterns of subcellular localization. In turn, these structures govern biological function. Characterizing sequence-structure relationships is critical for gaining mechanistic understanding, but conventional techniques can be slow and low-throughput. We have developed integrated computational and experimental methods to overcome these limitations […]

Spring 2024 GRASP Seminar: Yutong Bai, Johns Hopkins University, “Listening to the Data: Visual Learning from the Bottom Up”
*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 with virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT We introduce a novel sequential modeling approach which enables learning a Large Vision Model (LVM) without making use of any linguistic data. To do this, we define a common format, "visual sentences", in which we can represent raw images and […]
