12:00 PM

ASSET Seminar: “When do spectral gradient updates help in deep learning?”

February 4 at 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia

Spectral gradient methods, such as the recently popularized Muon algorithm, are a promising alternative to standard Euclidean gradient descent for training deep neural networks and transformers, but it is still […]

1:00 PM

ESE Ph.D. Dissertation Defense: “Non-Hermitian-Driven Photonic Switching––Ultrafast Routing and Robust Power Transfer”

February 4 at 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 515 3317 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia

This dissertation explores non-Hermitian control as a unified framework for photonic switching and reconfigurable light routing. First, by harnessing gain–loss modulation and parity–time symmetry breaking in hybrid III–V/silicon platforms, a […]

3:00 PM

Spring 2026 GRASP SFI: Jiafei Duan, University of Washington, “Building Robotics Foundation Models with Reasoning in the Loop”

February 4 at 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Recent advances in generative AI have demonstrated the power of scaling: large […]

3:30 PM

CBE Seminar: “Discovery of Plant Derived Cell-Penetrating Peptides for Agricultural Bioengineering” (Henry Squire, UC Berkeley) [FACULTY CANDIDATE]

February 4 at 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia

Abstract: Bioengineering of plants is critical to agriculture, molecular farming, and bio-commodities. However, current tools for bioengineering plants are limited in throughput, applicable to a narrow set of species, or […]
