Donner-Grice AuditoriumThe Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Rahim Rizi are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Hooman Hamedani. Title: Multibreath Hyperpolarized Gas Imaging of Lung […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Analysis and Control of Neural Network Dynamical Systems”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PAIntegrating machine learning and control systems has achieved remarkable success in controlling complex dynamical systems such as autonomous vehicles. However, the resulting controlled system often has a neural network (NN) […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Enabling Ultra-Low Viscosity Lubricants Through Fundamental Understanding of ZDDPs Anti-Wear Additives and their Tribofilm Growth Mechanisms: An In-Situ Study”
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PALubricants with low viscosity have the potential to improve fuel efficiency in engines due to friction reduction. However, a reduction in viscosity increases the likelihood of wear. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense – “Learning and Control of Network Phenomena”
Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PAThe intersection of dynamical systems and networks are used to model a huge variety of phenomena such as the spread of disease, multi-agent systems, opinions in social networks, and more. […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense – “Accelerating HLS Autotuning of Large, Highly-Parameterized Reconfigurable SoC Mappings”
Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PAHigh-level synthesis has accelerated the adoption of autotuners to explore design spaces. Design-space size increases exponentially in the number of design parameters, and synthesizing a single configuration for a device-scale […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense – “Robustness of Temporal Logics with Applications to Safe Autonomy”
Zoom - Meeting ID 564 482 9525Signal Temporal Logic (STL) is a common way to express a broad range of real-time constraints that can be imposed on control systems. Spatial robustness of STL specifications, quantifying permissible […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense – “Modeling and Control of Dynamic Behavior of Spreading Processes on Networks”
Greenberg Lounge (Room 114), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PAEpidemiological spreading processes constitute the core of a large number of disparate networks. In some, faster spread is desirable, in others containing the spread is critically important. We focus on […]
