PICS Seminar: “Shock-induced turbulent mixing and interactions with flexible panels through simulations”

Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

Two fundamental challenges that arise in the development of air-breathing supersonic combustion ramjet engines (scramjets) for hypersonic flight are: 1) the rapid mixing of fuel and oxidizer that must occur prior to combustion, and 2) the coupling between the engine structure and the flow dynamics. Interactions of shock waves and turbulence that characterize the flow […]

MEAM/GRASP Seminar: “Saltatorial Locomotion on Terrain Obstacles”

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

Robots often struggle to move through complicated environments from cluttered living spaces to treetop canopies where humans and animals flit with ease. Jumping is an exciting locomotion mode that can enable small ground-based robots to maneuver around large obstacles and gaps in complicated environments. A high-power jumping robot can rapidly traverse obstacles, but the resulting […]

CBE Seminar: “Delineating Mechanisms of BMP-mediated Patterning and Organization During Development Through Integrative Experiment and Simulation”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract The emergence of coordinated cellular, tissue, and organismal responses rely on complex biological networks. While the connectivity of the networks is increasingly defined, understanding the dynamics of the system and the emergence of coordinated responses at multiple spatial and temporal scales is an unsolved problem in many systems. This is a challenge addressed by […]

ESE Seminar: “Accelerating MRI with Deep Learning”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be accelerated by sampling below the Shannon-Nyquist rate via compressed sensing techniques. In this talk, I will consider the problem of optimizing the under-sampling pattern in a data-driven fashion, which has been an open problem for over a decade. For a given sparsity constraint, our method optimizes the under-sampling pattern […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Polymer Mechanics and Dynamics in Polymer Nanoparticle Composites

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  "Polymer nanoparticle composites (PNCs) have become an important topic of research due to their highly tunable macroscopic properties. Compared to the pure polymers, PNCs exhibit increase in mechanical strength, altered thermodynamic properties, and simultaneous improvement in permeability and selectivity in small molecule transport. Understanding the fundamental physics that control the behavior of both components […]

MEAM Seminar: “Merging Human-Machine Intelligence with Soft Materials Technology”

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

Whereas human tissues and organs are mostly soft, wet and bioactive; machines are commonly hard, dry and biologically inert. Merging humans, machines and their intelligence is of imminent importance in addressing grand societal challenges in health, sustainability, security, education and joy of living. However, interfacing humans and machines is extremely challenging due to their fundamentally […]

ESE Grace Hopper Lecture: “Scalable Photonics: An Optimized Approach”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Classical and quantum photonics with superior properties can be implemented in a variety of old (silicon, silicon nitride) and new (silicon carbide, diamond) photonic materials by combining state of the art optimization and machine learning techniques (photonics inverse design) with new fabrication approaches. In addition to making photonics more robust to errors in fabrication and […]

CBE Seminar: “The Role of Utilization in Meeting Mid-Century Carbon Removal Targets”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract The utilization of CO2 broadly applies to any process that transforms captured CO2 into valuable products. These processes strive to achieve any of the following objectives: (1) permanent storage (2) revenue generation and/or (3) avoiding emissions of conventional products with high amounts of embodied carbon. This talk will explore how carbon utilization can be […]
