Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCelebrate 50 years and beyond of Penn Bioengineering! This distinguished lecture will be held in honor of the Department of Bioengineering's 50th Anniversary. Dr. Collins will deliver his talk in […]
Tedori-Callinan Distinguished Lecture: “Origami”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesWe study the geometric mechanics of origami assemblages and investigate how geometry affects behavior and properties. Understanding origami from a structural standpoint allows for conceptualizing and designing feasible applications across […]
Penn Engineering 2023-24 Heilmeier Faculty Award Lecture: Arjun Raj
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States"Can a cell learn?" Ever since the genetic code was deciphered, we have increasingly come to view cellular control through the lens of genetic determinism. In this paradigm, a cell's […]

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesRecipient of the 2024 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry
Fall 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Zak Kassas, IEEE AESS DL & The Ohio State University, “Ad Astra: Navigation with Megaconstellation LEO Satellites”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThis will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT We are witnessing a space renaissance. Tens of thousands of broadband […]
Tedori-Callinan Distinguished Lecture: “Novel Passive and Active Approaches to Fluid Friction Reduction using Polymers & Plastrons”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesWhen a superhydrophobic (SH) textured surface is immersed in water it traps a thin shiny layer of air within the texture that is known as a plastron. Contact line pinning […]
ESE 2024 Jack Keil Wolf Lecture – “Army of Ants: The Power of Working in Concert”
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesSynchronized operation of a large number of similar entities can generate behavior that cannot be expected from single one. This principle combined with the physical concept of coherence in waves […]
MSE Grace Hopper Lecture: “Bioelectronics to Probe Brain-Body Physiology” (Polina Anikeeva – Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesBiological signaling in the mammalian nervous system spans a dizzying range of spatial and temporal scales. To understand how cellular and molecular signals contribute to physiology and behavior and to […]
Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture: “Engineering Proteins, Genomes, Viruses & Organs” (George Church, Harvard & MIT)
ZoomOur exponential technologies for reading, writing genomes and epigenomes combined with AI-ML has enabled large libraries and selections for radical new functions — e.g. resistance to all viruses, novel delivery […]
