April 29, 2025 -Steering Higher Ed Through Rough Seas: Three Bold Strategies to Navigate the Future
MEAM Seminar: “Atmospheric Boundary Layer Simulations for Wind Energy”
The growth in wind energy is driving a need to understand how wind turbines perform under a range of atmospheric conditions. Under stably stratified conditions, for example, wind turbine wakes can persist for long distances and impact the performance of downwind turbines. Additionally, variations in surface topography, from shallow depressions to steep mountains, can deflect […]
CBE Special Guest Lecture: “Preventing, Understanding and Reducing End-Customers’ Power Supply Outages with Digital Twins” (Panayiotis Moutis, City College of New York)
Abstract: Blackouts have become rarer in the last decade. However, equipment wear and faults (some predictable)affect smaller scales but many parts of Distribution Networks (DNs) more frequently and add up to several hours of interruptions per customer per year. Also, utilities will preemptively de-energize thousands of customers in the path or vicinity of forest fires […]
Steering Higher Ed Through Rough Seas: Three Bold Strategies to Navigate the Future
Higher education is navigating intense political pressure, shifting demographics, rising costs and evolving workforce demands. In this talk, John Katzmann will detail three strategies for sustaining academic excellence while lowering administrative costs, expanding reach and impact, and regaining public trust.

ASSET Seminar: “Neurosymbolic Program Synthesis: Bridging Perception and Reasoning in Real-World Applications”
Abstract: Neurosymbolic Program Synthesis (NSP) integrates neural networks and symbolic reasoning to tackle complex tasks requiring both perception and logical reasoning. This talk provides an overview of the NSP framework and its applications in domains such as image editing, data extraction, and robot learning from demonstrations. We will delve into the key ideas behind NSP […]
JOHN A. QUINN DISTINGUISHED LECTURE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING: “Sticky Nanoparticles: Electrostatic Assembly of Targeted Delivery Agents” (Paula Hammond, MIT)
Abstract: Electrostatic assembly can be used to engineer coatings that yield release of different drugs, DNA or protein, resulting in highly tunable multi -agent delivery nanolayered release systems for tissue engineering, biomedical devices, and wound healing applications. Most recently, we have developed a modular nanoparticle approach using liposomal core particles and layering them with an […]

MEAM Master’s Thesis Defense: “A Computational Model of Caenorhabditis elegans Locomotion”
Since discovered in 1897, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has surfaced as an excellent model organism for medical and genetic research. The worm propels itself through viscous-dominated creeping flows via undulatory motion. Moreover, experiments have revealed that the netamode’s swimming gait alters as a function of fluid viscosity. In the current research, we proposed a new […]

May 2, 2025 -PICS Colloquium: Learning to Model the World (and Yourself) from Vision
PICS Colloquium: Learning to Model the World (and Yourself) from Vision
In this talk, I will discuss recent publications from my group that attempt at learning models of the world and the effect of the actions of an agent within that world self-supervised, solely via interaction. In particular, I will discuss the potential and challenges of video generative models as a candidate for such a world […]
