Microorganisms, primitive unicellular forms of life, form the basis of the food web and play crucial roles in the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Habitats of microorganisms, from oceans and lakes to […]
Advanced functional materials comprising multiple components with nano- and microscopic features typically rely on expensive and time-consuming fabrication methods. Kinetically-trapped disordered structures provide a powerful alternate route to fabricate fault-tolerant, […]
There is currently a critical need for blood donors, and members of the Penn Engineering community are invited to participate in a school-wide blood drive. To join in this effort, […]
Structural design optimization has long played a crucial role in engineering, often with the goal of creating stiff and lightweight structures for aerospace and other applications. However, optimizing structures against […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania along with Drs. Dave Issadore and Mike Mitchell proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Sarah Shepherd. Title: Microfluidics for throughput scalable formulation of […]
Task and path planning algorithms for robots in the presence of flows confront a fundamental dichotomy between the continuous and the discrete: task planning algorithms discretize the world and their […]
Communication is fundamental to successful coordination in teams of robots. Indeed, the promise that robot teams can complete tasks faster and more efficiently than any single agent depends on their […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Lou Soslowsky are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Ashley Fung. Title: The Role of Collagen XII […]
