AI is transforming the world, but at what cost to our energy systems? As demand for computing power surges, data centers are becoming one of the most consequential frontiers in the energy transition. Dr. Chan's talk will unpack how emerging technologies, smarter design, and bold innovation can redefine data centers as engines of efficiency, sustainability, and progress.
While many of the tremendous advances seen in robotic dexterity over the past half-decade have been driven by new motor learning methods, I remain convinced that manipulation is a “full […]
Abstract: Crystalline monolayers at fluid interfaces possess unique elastic properties that have important implications in biology and nanotechnology and the synergistic incorporation of colloidal particles enables novel strategies for the […]
Cloud droplets grow initially by condensation, and thereafter by colliding and coalescing with each other. We discuss how condensation can make cloud turbulence different from "normal" turbulence. We then ask […]
Join Penn Engineering for a fireside conversation with Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari, as he reflects on his journey from physicist to industry leader and shares how a scientific approach drives innovation at scale. In discussion with Dean Vijay Kumar, Vigna will explore the future of technology and manufacturing, the role of AI in engineering, and what it means to build a career at the intersection of technical depth, luxury, and real-world impact.
