Cancelled: CIS Seminar: “Harnessing the Power of People: Human-AI Interaction Design in Healthcare, Language, and Beyond”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Some claim AI is the “new electricity” due to its growing significance and ubiquity. My research investigates this vision from an HCI perspective: How can we situate this remarkable technology in ways people perceive as valuable? How could we form a symbiotic relationship between AI systems and their users, to do things neither can […]

ESE Seminar: “Skin Interfaced Wearable Sweat Biosensors”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Abstract: The rising research interest in personalized medicine promises to revolutionize traditional medical practices. This presents a tremendous opportunity for developing wearable devices toward predictive analytics and treatment. In this talk, I will introduce our recent advances in developing fully-integrated skin-interfaced flexible biosensors for non-invasive molecular analysis. Such wearable biosensors can continuously, selectively, and accurately […]

CIS Seminar: “Embodied perception in-the-wild”

Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

Computer vision is undergoing a period of rapid progress, rekindling the relationship between perception, action, and cognition. Such connections may be best practically explored in the context of autonomous robots. In this talk, I will discuss perceptual understanding tasks motivated by embodied robots "in-the-wild", focusing on the illustrative case of autonomous vehicles. I will argue […]

ESE Seminar: “Electrical Digestive Engineering”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Gastrointestinal (GI) problems are the second leading cause for missing work or school after the common cold, giving rise to 10 percent of the reasons a patient visits their physician and costing $142 billion annually.  Although obstructions and infections are easy to diagnose, more than half of GI disorders involve abnormal functioning of the GI […]

ESE Seminar: “Evolutionary Adaptations and Spreading Processes in Complex Networks”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

A common theme among many models for spreading processes in networks is the assumption that the propagating object (e.g., a pathogen, in the context of infectious disease propagation, or a piece of information, in the context of information propagation) is transferred across network nodes without going through any modification. However, in real-life spreading processes, pathogens […]

PICS Seminar: “Fusing machine learning and atomistic simulations for materials design”

Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

Data-driven approaches match or outperform humans at a number of tasks, including pattern recognition in images and text or planning and strategy in rule-based games. The application of machine learning techniques is also promising for accelerating materials design. However, experimental data for training is typically scarce and sparse. The interplay between physics-based simulations and data-driven […]

ESE Grace Hopper Lecture: “Emerging Non-Volatile Ferroelectric Memory”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Abstract The last decade has seen a remarkable shift in usage and value of semiconductor memory technologies. These changes are driven by the elevation of four particular target applications –(1) mobile multi-media applications, (2) explosive growth in the sheer volume of data that is being created and stored, (3) emphasis from the individual components to […]

ESE Seminar: “Data-driven Decision Making and Estimation in CPS/IoT Networks”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

The modern instantiation of a sensor network is a cyberphysical (CPS) system where CPS subsystems can be interconnected by a shared communication network of limited bandwidth. A common problem in CPS networks is the sensing and communication of spatio-temporal signals. However, there are fundamental differences between estimation (sensing) and communication. For example, the type of […]
