MEAM Seminar: “Engineering Innovation in Maternal and Fetal Health: The Biomechanics of High-Risk Pregnancies”
The reproductive soft tissues that support the fetus undergo some of the most dramatic and unique growth and remodeling events in the human body. The uterus and fetal membrane must grow and stretch during pregnancy to accommodate the fetus. Simultaneously, the cervix must remodel and be a mechanical barrier to keep the fetus within the […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Power Electronics is Cool. Trends and Opportunities for the Coming Decades”
For the past two decades, power management and delivery has been a bottleneck, limiting the size and performance of a range of applications from performance computing to mobile phones and wearables. In the coming decades, power electronics will become the ‘glue’ of the modern energy system network. With electronics embedded deeply into this network, well […]
CIS Seminar: “Scaling Machine-Checkable Systems Verification in Coq”
System software like operating systems and hypervisors forms the critical backbone of our computing infrastructure. However, due to their size and complexity, these systems often contain vulnerabilities that can compromise security. Formal verification offers a solution by mathematically proving software correctness, but its adoption is hindered by the substantial effort required to create these proofs. […]

October 30, 2024 -Fall 2024 GRASP SFI: Jonathan Michaux, University of Michigan, “Spheres Are All You Need: Risk-Aware Trajectory Planning in Radiance Fields”
ASSET Seminar: “Advancing Diffusion Models for Text Generation”
Abstract: Transformer-based language models have undoubtedly become the dominant and favorite architecture for language generation of our time. However, although they provide impressive text quality, they tend to be hard to control. In the domain of image synthesis, on the other hand, Denoising Diffusion Models (DDM) are the dominant approach, shining with unprecedented quality and […]
Fall 2024 GRASP SFI: Jonathan Michaux, University of Michigan, “Spheres Are All You Need: Risk-Aware Trajectory Planning in Radiance Fields”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Safe and efficient motion planning is crucial for robots operating in dynamic and unstructured environments. To accomplish this, one must address key challenges. First, robots must understand the scene geometry to prevent collisions that could harm humans […]

October 31, 2024 -MSE Seminar: “Quantum Materials: A View from the Lattice”
MSE Seminar: “Quantum Materials: A View from the Lattice”
Connecting theoretical models for exotic quantum states to real materials is a key goal in quantum materials science. The structure of the crystalline lattice plays a foundational role in this pursuit in the subfield of quantum material synthesis. We here revisit this long-standing perspective in the context low dimensional emergent electronic phases of matter, including […]

November 1, 2024 -Fall 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Tess Smidt, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “Recent applications of Euclidean neural networks to understand and design atomistic systems”
Fall 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Tess Smidt, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “Recent applications of Euclidean neural networks to understand and design atomistic systems”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Atomic systems (molecules, crystals, proteins, etc.) are naturally represented by a set of coordinates in 3D space labeled by atom type. This poses a challenge for machine learning due to the sensitivity of coordinates to 3D […]
