CBE Faculty Candidate Seminar: Towards a “Greener” Route for Acetic Acid Production via the Carbonylation of Dimethyl Ether Over Small-Pore Molecular Sieves
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Catalyst design is a critical pillar, and current bottleneck, in the construction of a sustainable chemical industry. Practical catalytic materials are earth-abundant, active, selective, and stable. Developing materials that […]
MEAM Seminar: “Robot Design Concepts for Intuitive Physical Human-Robot Interaction”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesPhysical human-robot interaction (pHRI) aims at taking advantage of the complementary capabilities of robots and humans. One of the key challenges in pHRI is to provide a high-bandwidth human-robot interaction […]
“Engineering at NSF: Big Ideas and More”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThree years ago, NSF announced Ten Big Ideas for Future Investments. From Harnessing the Data Revolution, to defining the Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier, and Understanding the Rules […]
CBE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Understanding and Design of Materials of High Energy Density Batteries”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Environmental challenges and economic forces are reshaping the way we generate and consume energy on a global scale. To keep up with the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles, allow […]
BE Seminar: “Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesPICS Seminar – Dr. Cesar de la Fuente of the University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Until now, the natural world has supplied us with antibiotics. Bacteria, however, are increasingly resistant to these drugs. The next generation of antibiotics will likely come not from nature […]
MEAM Seminar: “Multiscale Interactions in Multiphase Turbulent Flows: Fundamentals to Applications”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesRecent advances in experimental measurements and numerical simulations has allowed us to discover new phenomena in multiphase turbulence (a flow regime characterized by chaotic and irregular motion in the presence […]
BE Seminar: “Engineering Stem Cells to Create Novel Delivery Vehicles”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesSynthetic biology has transformed how cells can be reprogrammed, providing a means to reliably and predictably control cell behavior with the assembly of genetic parts into more complex gene circuits. […]
MEAM Seminar: “Scalable Algorithms for the Computational Modeling of Complex Multi-Physics Systems”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThe computational modeling of complex multi-physics problems often requires specialized approaches in the formulation, implementation, and deployment of algorithms that lie outside the scope of conventional practice in physics-based modeling […]
