CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesWith the constantly changing threat environment, the Army needs to be able to quickly adapt their tactics and equipment. But burdensome and lengthy acquisition cycles make this challenging. Additive manufacturing can potentially be utilized to overcome many of the challenges and enables on-demand manufacturing of repair parts, as well as rapid prototyping. Through topology optimization, […]
POSTPONED: John A. Quinn Distinguished Lecture: “Molecular and Colloidal Interactions in Water”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Life occurs in water, and water-mediated interactions between molecules and interfaces are central to biological assembly processes. Synthetic materials as common as shampoo rely on water-mediated interactions. This presentation will describe experiments that highlight our lack of understanding of interactions in water. This lack of understanding presents the opportunity to formulate a refined set […]
CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Structures”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesI will present recent work on the modeling of the structural response of shape memory alloy tubes, bars, and beams. We have developed a new constitutive model that captures pseudoelastic transformation induced recoverable deformation in SMAs including the strong asymmetries in the tensile and compressive responses. Instead of introducing multiple conditions for forward phase transformation, […]
Cancelled: CBE Seminar – Biomaterials-Mediated Inflammation Control”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Many chronic disabling diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus are increasingly linked to inappropriate and chronic activation of inflammatory cells. A central event in the pathogenesis of these diseases appears to be an aberrant activation of innate immune sensors, most prominently the Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs), by nucleic […]
Virtual Joint Seminar: Open Source Multicellular Systems Modeling for Cancer (and COVID-19)
Virtual Joint Seminar of Penn PSOC, Bioengineering, PICS For Zoom details, email gormley@seas.upenn.edu Cancer and other critical human health problems are inherently multiscale: molecular-scale processes such as receptor trafficking and metabolism drive cell-scale processes such as cycling and motility. Biophysical processes like diffusion and tissue mechanics both constrain and drive single-cell behavior. Moreover, cells communicate […]
PICS Alumni Spotlight: Kurt Fredrickson
PICS will be hosting a virtual seminar featuring an alumni of the Vojvodic lab. Kurt Frederickson, PhD, will speak about his education and working in both academia and the private sector. After his talk Kurt will be available to answer any questions students may have. Email Katie Thompson (kathom at seas.upenn.edu) for the zoom details.
PICS Student Seminar: Anna Neuman and Chris Price
On Wednesday, July 15 at 12:00 PICS will host a virtual student seminar. This is the first seminar in a series giving students the opportunity to talk to each other about their research and research methods. These virtual seminars will be about an hour long with two students giving a short presentation followed by a discussion. […]

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 […]
