MEAM Seminar: “Toward Physics-informed Machine Intelligence via Graph Discovery”
MEAM Seminar: “Toward Physics-informed Machine Intelligence via Graph Discovery”
Advances in machine learning and reduced-order modeling are rendering construction of digital twins for complex systems possible. We are using these tools to perform scientific discovery, design optimization, and data-informed decision making in diverse applications. In this talk we (1) show how graphs may be used to build robust digital twins in high-consequence engineering settings […]
ESE Spring Seminar – “3D Functional Mesostructures: From Neural Interfaces to Environmental Monitors”
ESE Spring Seminar – “3D Functional Mesostructures: From Neural Interfaces to Environmental Monitors”
Complex, three dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures in biology provide sophisticated, essential functions in even the most basic forms of life. Compelling opportunities exist for analogous 3D structures in man-made devices, but existing design options are highly constrained by comparatively primitive capabilities in fabrication and growth. Recent advances in mechanical engineering and materials science provide broad access […]

ASSET Seminar: What makes learning to control easy or hard?, Nikolai Matni (University of Pennsylvania)
ASSET Seminar: What makes learning to control easy or hard?, Nikolai Matni (University of Pennsylvania)
Presentation Abstract: Designing autonomous systems that are simultaneously high-performing, adaptive, and provably safe remains an open problem. In this talk, we will argue that in order to meet this goal, new theoretical and algorithmic tools are needed that blend the stability, robustness, and safety guarantees of robust control with the flexibility, adaptability, and performance of […]
CBE/BE Seminar: “Targeting Sugars for Immunotherapy in Cancer and Beyond” (Jessica Stark, Stanford)
CBE/BE Seminar: “Targeting Sugars for Immunotherapy in Cancer and Beyond” (Jessica Stark, Stanford)
Co-hosted by the Departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering & Bioengineering. New paradigms to harness the immune system are urgently needed to address unmet needs in human health. I am working to understand and engineer glycoimmunology – the roles of sugars, or glycans, in the immune system – to bridge this gap. During my PhD, […]

Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: Frank Dellaert, Georgia Tech, “Factor Graphs for Perception and Action”
Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: Frank Dellaert, Georgia Tech, “Factor Graphs for Perception and Action”
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week’s presenter will be virtual. ABSTRACT Factor graphs have been very successful in providing a lingua franca in which to phrase robotics perception and navigation problems. In this talk I will re-visit some of those successes, also […]
MSE Seminar: “Bio-inspired Design, Mechanics, and Manufacturing of Architected Cementitious Materials”
MSE Seminar: “Bio-inspired Design, Mechanics, and Manufacturing of Architected Cementitious Materials”
Dr. Moini’s research is focused on bio-inspired design and development of architected materials using novel additive manufacturing processes and automated robotic technologies for applications in civil and energy infrastructure. His work is motivated by the intellectual challenge of understanding the mechanics of intrinsically brittle engineering materials and the development of ductile and flaw-tolerant responses using […]
PICS Seminar: “Computational fluid dynamics for slurry rheology in flow battery and underlying drag-reduction mechanisms in turbulent flow control”
PICS Seminar: “Computational fluid dynamics for slurry rheology in flow battery and underlying drag-reduction mechanisms in turbulent flow control”
Email jnespos@seas.upenn.edu for the Zoom link. This talk will start by introducing diverse fluid-mechanics research conducted in the Park research group, including complex fluids, electrokinetics, biofluids, transition-to-turbulence, and turbulent flow. I will then focus on two projects at very different flow regimes. For both projects, the modeling, analysis, and computation will be presented along with […]

MEAM Seminar: “3D Printing Active Electronic Devices”
MEAM Seminar: “3D Printing Active Electronic Devices”
The ability to three-dimensionally pattern semiconducting electronic and optoelectronic materials could provide a transformative approach to creating active electronic devices without the need for a cleanroom or conventional microfabrication facilities. This could enable the generation of active electronics on-the-fly, using only source inks and a portable 3D printer to realize electronics anywhere, anytime, including directly […]

ASSET Seminar: The marriage of logic and learning: will it be a happily ever after?, Jyotirmoy Deshmukh (University of Southern California)
ASSET Seminar: The marriage of logic and learning: will it be a happily ever after?, Jyotirmoy Deshmukh (University of Southern California)
Presentation Abstract: Huge strides have made in the widespread adoption of autonomous and human-in-the-loop cyber-physical systems (CPS), partly fueled by dramatic improvements in learning-based techniques. An important aspect of such CPS applications is that they are safety-critical: any undesirable behavior by such systems can cause serious harm to human lives or property. The formal methods […]

MSE Seminar: “Metamaterials: From Invisibility Cloak to Future Extended Reality Displays”
MSE Seminar: “Metamaterials: From Invisibility Cloak to Future Extended Reality Displays”
The invisibility cloak in Harry Potter and the dreams of invisibility as a superpower are no longer fiction. With the invention of metamaterials, they are theoretically and experimentally possible in real life. Metamaterials — materials that are engineered to have properties that are not found in naturally-occuring materials — allow us to overcome physical limitations. […]
CIS Seminar: “Proofs, Cryptography and Quantum Information”
CIS Seminar: “Proofs, Cryptography and Quantum Information”
Many cryptographic protocols will be rendered insecure if sufficiently powerful quantum computers are built. While this remains at least a few decades away, there is another, more immediate, problem: many widely-used security analysis techniques rely on properties of classical information that do not hold in the quantum setting, rendering the security of many schemes unclear […]
