March 25, 2024 -ESE Spring Seminar – “Catch M(oor)e If You Can: Agile Hardware/Software Co-Design for Hyperscale Cloud Systems”
ESE Spring Seminar – “Catch M(oor)e If You Can: Agile Hardware/Software Co-Design for Hyperscale Cloud Systems”
Global reliance on cloud services, powered by transformative technologies like generative AI, machine learning, and big-data analytics, is driving exponential growth in demand for hyperscale cloud compute infrastructure. Meanwhile, the breakdown of classical hardware scaling (e.g., Moore's Law) is hampering growth in compute supply. Building domain-specific hardware can address this supply-demand gap, but catching up […]

March 26, 2024 -CIS Seminar: ” Empowering Large Language Models with Efficient and Automated Systems”
MEAM Seminar: “3D Modeling of the Intervertebral Disc: Direct Relationships Between Tissue Composition and Model Parameters”
Finite element models provide a valuable tool for studying disease progression, risk of tissue failure, or repair strategies. To date, many models for biological tissues employ hyperelastic material descriptions with material properties that have no direct physical interpretation. This seminar will focus on development, validation, and application of a multi-scale structure-based model developed for the […]
ESE Spring Seminar – “Advancing the Endless Frontier- Opportunities to Engage on Basic Research at the DoD”
The Department of Defense (DoD)’s Basic Research Office (BRO) sets scientific priorities aimed toward ensuring DoD is a leader in scientific discovery and identifying new paths for investigation. The office is responsible for oversight and management of DoD’s ~$2.9 B basic research investment in high risk, high pay-off research and manages programs including the Vannevar […]
CIS Seminar: ” Empowering Large Language Models with Efficient and Automated Systems”
Large Language Models (LLMs) have brought remarkable advancements to the computing industry. However, a high barrier exists between the LLMs and the vast majority of researchers and practitioners, brought by the engineering challenges with the enormous model sizes and the substantial compute requirements. In this talk, I’ll discuss my research on system innovations to democratize […]

March 27, 2024 -Spring 2024 GRASP SFI: Eric Jang, 1X Technologies, “Data Engines for Humanoid Robots”
CIS Seminar: “Practical Machine Learning for Networked Systems”
The growing complexity and heterogeneity of networked systems have spurred a plethora of machine learning (ML) solutions, each promising a tantalizing improvement in performance. However, their path to real-world adoption is fraught with obstacles due to concerns from system operators about ML's generalization, transparency, robustness, and efficiency. My research takes a holistic approach to enabling […]
Spring 2024 GRASP SFI: Eric Jang, 1X Technologies, “Data Engines for Humanoid Robots”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT 1X’s mission is to create an abundant supply of physical labor through androids that work alongside humans. I will share some of the progress 1X has been making towards general-purpose mobile manipulation. We have scaled up the […]

-
March 28, 2024 -CIs Seminar: “Privacy-Preserving Systems for a Data-Driven World”
MEAM Seminar: “Physics and Engineering of Moisture-Capturing Hydrogels for Freshwater and Heat Harvesting”
Humidity in the air is a vast water and energy resource available in any location. Air in the atmosphere contains six times more freshwater than that of all rivers and lakes. This moisture also carries over a thousand times more power than the global electricity demand. For over two centuries, numerous water sorbent materials have […]
CIs Seminar: “Privacy-Preserving Systems for a Data-Driven World”
The potential of data to transform science and society has spurred unparalleled efforts to collect it in increasingly sensitive and granular forms, which has raised a variety of societal concerns about how this data is handled and used. Though today, at-rest and in-transit encryption are standard practices, these alone are insufficient to address the security […]

March 29, 2024 -2024 Celebration of Diversity
Spring 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Zac Manchester, Carnegie Mellon University, “Composable Optimization for Robotic Motion Planning and Control”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Contact interactions are pervasive in real-world robotics tasks like manipulation and walking. However, the non-smooth dynamics associated with impacts and friction remain challenging to model, and motion planning and control algorithms that can fluently and efficiently reason about […]
2024 Celebration of Diversity
The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is hosting another Celebration of Diversity gala. The gathering is intended to showcase students, staff, and faculty from Penn Engineering in their cultural richness and heterogeneity. The event will consist of guest speakers, special performances, presentations from student affinity groups, and a variety of cuisines for all to […]
