MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Applications of a Double-stranded Elastic Rod Model to DNA”
4E9, DRLB 209 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesIn the first part of the presentation, we discuss a double-stranded elastic rod (birod) model and apply it to study allosteric interactions between two ligands on DNA. Next, we combine the birod model with statistical mechanics and use it to study the temperature-induced strand separation in dsDNA. Allosteric interaction between two ligands on DNA is […]

ESE Seminar: “Skin Interfaced Wearable Sweat Biosensors”
Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.eduAbstract: 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 […]
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 […]
CBE Seminar: “Engineering Pathways Across Biological Barriers”
Zoom - Email CBE for linkAbstract Engineering pathways across biological barriers is entering a new era with the rapid advancement of computational resources. My research group focuses on developing multi-scale simulation methods to elucidate the interfacial phenomena associated with biological barriers that play a role in life-threatening diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, and chronic infections. Our goal is to influence […]
