CBE Seminar: “Effects of Polarity, Solvation, and Interfacial Polarization on Charge-driven Assembly”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesPSOC Spring 2019 Seminar Series: Parag Mallick, Ph.D.
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesBE Seminar: Next Generation Orthobiologics: Advanced Growth Factor and Biomaterials Engineering
Class of 62 Auditorium, John Morgan Building 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PAThe standard of care for augmenting surgical bone repair or regeneration remains bone graft harvested from the patient despite a lack of sufficient quantity or quality of graft in many […]
CBE Seminar: “Embryogenesis: A Cascade of Dynamical Systems”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: We aim to establish and experimentally test mathematical models of embryogenesis. While the foundation of this research is based on models of isolated developmental events, the ultimate challenge is […]
CBE Seminar: “Complexity in the Chemistry and Physics of Lipid Membranes as a Handle to Activate the Delivery of Cargo to Cells”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Lipid materials having nanostructures that deviate from the conventional flat bilayer arrangement such as hexagonally packed lipid tubes and bi-continuous cubic phases are ubiquitous in nature. Their role remains elusive but over […]
PRiML Seminar: “Building Algorithms by Playing Games”
Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesA very popular trick for solving certain types of optimization problems is this: write your objective as the solution of a two-player zero-sum game, endow both players with an appropriate learning […]
ESE & Statistics Seminar: “Large Neural Networks: Insights from Linearized Models”
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Modern machine learning models, and in particular multilayer neural networks, exhibit a broad range of puzzling phenomena. Their training requires to minimize a highly non-convex high-dimensional cost function, and […]
CBE Seminar: “Evolution of the Conformational-free Energy Landscapes of Proteins”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: One of the holy grails of drug-design is to obtain high-selectivity binding of a drug to the target protein, an extremely challenging endeavor for proteins that share high sequence […]
CBE Seminar: “Protein-integrated Electronics: From Molecules to Machines”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: We are developing chemo-mechatronic systems, structures, and machines that can transduce signals between the chemical, mechanical, and electrical domains to produce intelligent behaviors in response to an external stimuli.
