MEAM Seminar: “Self-assembly of Colloidal Diamond by Multiple Routes”
There has been considerable interest in the colloidal self-assembly of photonic crystals with a diamond structure, owing to their exceptional optical properties, such as a wide photonic bandgap and relative insensitivity to disorder. These materials are valuable for applications in optical circuits, low-threshold lasers, sensors, and solar cells. Given the three-dimensional nature of photonic crystals, […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Exploring Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation Across Length Scales: From Atomistic Bias Potentials To Phase-Field Models” (Alexander M. Johnson)
Abstract: Liquid–liquid phase separation is a fundamental thermodynamic process that governs structure and function in biological systems, chemical separations, and multiphase materials. Within this broad field, computational studies play a critical role in advancing understanding of this phenomenon by enabling investigation of phase behavior across multiple length scales. In this thesis, liquid–liquid phase separation is […]
CIS Seminar: “Reliable and Socially Aligned LLMs: Are We There Yet?”
Large language models (LLMs) are powerful but not yet reliable: they hallucinate, misalign with human values, and struggle with social reasoning. In this talk, I will trace a path from diagnosing failure modes such as hallucinations, to uncovering the pitfalls of aligning models with noisy human preferences and diverse values, and finally to emerging frontiers […]

Fall 2025 GRASP SFI: Tianjiao Ding, University of Pennsylvania, “Learning Parsimonious Representations for Efficient Analysis and Synthesis”
This presenter is one of the winners of the 2025 GRASP vote for internal PhD or postdoc SFI Speakers! This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT The automatic discovery of structures in data (analysis) and generation of data (synthesis) are two core problems in machine […]
CBE Seminar: “Using NMR to Probe Functionality at Electrochemical Interfaces in Beyond Lithium Batteries” (Lauren Marbella, Columbia University)
Abstract: Beyond lithium-ion batteries, like sodium and potassium, are more abundant in the Earth’s crust and alleviate geopolitical concerns surrounding the materials inside of lithium-based batteries. However, both sodium and potassium batteries display unique interfacial chemistry that develops during electrochemical cycling in conventional electrolytes, preventing performances that are on par with current lithium systems. In […]
