ESE Thesis Defense: “Constrained Learning and Inference”
Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.eduLearning is a core component of the information processing and autonomous systems upon which we increasingly rely on to select job applicants, analyze medical data, and drive cars. As these systems become ubiquitous, so does the need to curtail their behavior. Left untethered, they are susceptible to tampering (adversarial examples) and prone to prejudiced and […]
MEAM PHD Thesis Defense: “Control of Dry Adhesion via Mechanics and Structuring”
Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.eduDry adhesives that rely on van der Waals forces have a number of applications due to their versatility, reusability, and repeatability. Applications include small-scale pick-and-place and microtransfer printing processes, wearable sensors, climbing/perching robots, and robotic gripping. However, van der Waals forces are macroscopically short-range and are the weakest of the interatomic forces, so careful mechanical […]
ESE PhD Defense: “Orbital angular momentum microlasers: From the first demonstration to ultrafast tunability”
Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.eduOrbital angular momentum (OAM) carried by structured vortex light establishes a new information dimension, thereby promising high capacity optical communication and high performance computation in both classical and quantum regimes. Meanwhile, laser is the key driver in the field of optics and photonics over other photonic components. Since its discovery, laser technology has demonstrated strong […]
MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Delivering Expressive and Personalized Fingertip Tactile Cues”
Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.eduWearable haptic devices have seen growing interest in recent years, but providing realistic tactile feedback is not a challenge that is soon to be solved. Daily interactions with physical objects elicit complex sensations at the fingertips. Furthermore, human fingertips exhibit a broad range of physical dimensions and perceptive abilities, adding increased complexity to the task […]
