BE Doctoral Dissertation: “Using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to Improve Scientific Processes”

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Konrad Kording are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Titipat Achakulvisut. Using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to improve scientific processes Scientific information has been growing exponentially over the past decades. Arguably, traditional processes of doing science cannot keep up with […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Understanding and Predicting the Chemical Properties of Complex Oxides using First-principles Methods

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  Transition metal oxides are at the forefront of several applications in catalysis, energy conversion and storage, and are bound to play a pivotal role in our transition to a sustainable energy future. However, vast differences in the electronic structure among different transition metal oxides make them highly complex materials to understand and predict chemical […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Structures Formed By Colloids at Curved Fluid Interfaces”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  Colloidal particles accumulate and organize at fluid interfaces via capillary interactions. We study pair interactions and structure formation around spherical particles with pinned contact lines. Particles attract to apparent contact and organize in near trapped structures that reflect the underlying curvature field. We have derived pair potentials to describe these interactions. The particles distort […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Bijels for Continuous Reactive Separation”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  Several chemical processes involve the use of mutually immiscible molecules, for example a water-soluble catalyst is used in combination with oil-soluble reagents to produce water soluble products. There are two possible strategies to run these processes. A mutual solvent can be used to promote mixing of the otherwise immiscible molecules; however, such a system […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Diverse Roles of Nuclear Intermediate Filaments in Proliferating Cells”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  Embryonic tissues and cancer have in common the fact that they are both highly proliferative tissues rapidly moving through the cell cycle, as opposed to most other differentiated tissues in an adult. DNA damage can arrest some embryonic cells but genetic instability is a hallmark of cancer. This thesis studies the contrasting role of […]

MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Modular Robots Morphology Transformation and Task Execution”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

Self-reconfigurable modular robots are composed of a small set of modules with uniform docking interfaces. Different from conventional robots that are custom-built and optimized for specific tasks, modular robots are able to adapt to many different activities, and handle hardware and software failures by rearranging their components. This reconfiguration capability allows these systems to exist […]
