January 27, 2025 -LRSM Seminar: “Expanding Our Vision of Glasses: Physical Vapor Deposition Prepares Ultrastable and Anisotropic Materials”
LRSM Seminar: “Expanding Our Vision of Glasses: Physical Vapor Deposition Prepares Ultrastable and Anisotropic Materials”
Glasses are generally regarded as disordered and the idea of “controlling” molecular packing in glasses is reasonably met with skepticism. However, as glasses are non-equilibrium materials, a vast array of amorphous structures are possible in principle. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) produces glasses with properties that cannot be achieved by other preparation routes, including high stability […]

January 28, 2025 -CIS Seminar: “Decentralized Mechanism Design: Cryptography Meets Game Theory”
MEAM Seminar: “Robots that Evolve on Demand”
Soft robots have the potential to adapt their morphologies and behavioral control policies to changing tasks and environments. Inspired by the dynamic plasticity of living organisms and the general adaptability of animals, this talk will discuss several shape-shifting soft robot platforms for multi-task performance and multi-environment locomotion—for example, robotic skins, robotic fabrics, and robots with […]
CIS Seminar: “Decentralized Mechanism Design: Cryptography Meets Game Theory”
In classical auction design, we take it for granted that the auctioneer is trusted and always implements the auction's rules honestly. This assumption, however, no longer holds in modern auctions based on blockchains, or those mediated by third-party platforms such as Google. For example, in blockchain-based auctions, the consensus nodes that partly act as the […]

January 29, 2025 -CBE Seminar: “Engineering Technologies for Enhanced Modeling, Detection, and Treatment of Neurological Disease” (Alice Stanton, MIT)
ASSET Seminar: “Efficient Sharing of AI Infrastructures with Specialized Serverless Computing”
Abstract: The efficient sharing of AI infrastructures is becoming increasingly important in both public and private data centers. This demand is driven by two key factors: the proliferation of specialized AI models tailored for different users and applications, and the highly dynamic nature of requests, which are often on-demand. Dedicated GPU allocation in such scenarios […]
Spring 2025 GRASP SFI: Guandao Yang, Stanford University, “Toward Spatial Intelligence with Limited Data”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Modern artificial intelligences (AIs) rely heavily on internet-scale data with unified representations. However, such large-scale homogeneous data isn't readily available for spatial computing applications involving 3D geometry, hindering the development of spatial intelligence— AIs that can generate […]
CBE Seminar: “Engineering Technologies for Enhanced Modeling, Detection, and Treatment of Neurological Disease” (Alice Stanton, MIT)
Abstract: Neurological conditions are the leading cause of illness worldwide, though over 92% of clinically tested CNS drug candidates fail to become treatments. Contributing to this high failure rate is a lack of understanding of human disease mechanisms, technologies to address them, and the restrictive blood-brain barrier (BBB), which most compounds fail to cross. New […]

January 30, 2025 -Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture: “Engineering Proteins, Genomes, Viruses & Organs” (George Church, Harvard & MIT)
MSE Seminar: “Tuning Nanostructured Materials for Combustion Applications” (Kerri-lee A. Chintersingh, Ph.D., New Jersey Institute of Technology)
Metals powders like aluminum and boron are attractive potential fuel additives for pyrotechnics, propellants and explosives due to their high energy release upon oxidation. However, they tend to agglomerate, have lengthy ignition delays, and low combustion rates/efficiencies. This work aims to design metal powders with tuned surface, micro-structure, morphology, or chemistries to mitigate these challenges […]
Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture: “Engineering Proteins, Genomes, Viruses & Organs” (George Church, Harvard & MIT)
Our exponential technologies for reading, writing genomes and epigenomes combined with AI-ML has enabled large libraries and selections for radical new functions — e.g. resistance to all viruses, novel delivery vectors for gene therapies, xeno-transplantation, de-extinction, and de-aging. This lecture will be held remotely. Zoom Link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/94497096918?pwd=5qeoyMcmEyDboMW3bKgSCmWKYBMCbP.1

Spring 2025 GRASP Seminar: Nat Trask, University of Pennsylvania, “Geometric structure preservation in probabilistic digital twins”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Motivated by the ever-increasing success of machine learning in language and vision models, many aim to build AI-driven tools for scientific simulation and discovery. Contemporary techniques drastically lag behind their comparatively mature counterparts in modeling and […]
