September 30, 2024 -MSE Thesis Defense: “Imaginary-Index-Driven Programmable Integrated Photonics for Optical Computing and Networking”
MSE Thesis Defense: “Imaginary-Index-Driven Programmable Integrated Photonics for Optical Computing and Networking”
Photonics serves as the backbone of modern information infrastructure, transmitting and processing data at unparalleled speeds with minimal energy consumption by harnessing the inherent parallelism, high-frequency operation, and expansive bandwidths. In the past decade, the surging advancements of artificial intelligence has revolutionized the traditional definition of computing algorithms. By bridging the gap between optical hardware and software-defined functionality, programmable integrated […]

ASSET Seminar: “Towards Pluralistic Alignment: Foundations for Learning from Diverse Human Preferences”
Abstract: Large pre-trained models trained on internet-scale data are often not ready for safe deployment out-of-the-box. They are heavily fine-tuned and aligned using large quantities of human preference data, usually elicited using pairwise comparisons. While aligning an AI/ML model to human preferences or values, it is important to ask whose preference and values we are […]
Fall 2024 GRASP SFI: Tony Samaritano, Verge Aero, “Building the Drone Show Industry”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT In this talk, I will discuss how we engineered the foundation of the drone show industry, creating a new form of entertainment that rivals traditional fireworks. Our journey began at Pennovation, where we designed and tested our […]
CBE Seminar: “Filling the Gaps of Machine Learning Workflows in the Molecular Sciences” (Yamil Colón, University of Notre Dame)
Abstract: One of the main challenges in the molecular sciences is identifying promising candidates for a target application given the virtually limitless number of possibilities. Computer simulations and machine learning (ML) are integral tools to survey the vast molecular landscape and the thermodynamic conditions to evaluate their performance. Broadly, a typical pipeline for molecular characterization, […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Quantitative Analysis on Enhancer-Mediated Dynamic Gene Regulations in Drosophila Embryos” (Hao Dennis Deng)
Abstract: Proper organism development relies on precise gene regulation, where genes are expressed at specific times, locations, and quantities. Non-coding DNA sequences called enhancers play a crucial role in this process by interacting with their target promoters to initiate transcription and regulate gene expression. While the mechanisms of enhancer-mediated gene control have been extensively studied, […]
