MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “All-Passive Hardware Architectures for Neuromorphic Computation”

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

Human brains demonstrate how simple computational primitives can be combined in massively parallel ways to produce networks capable of identifying complicated patterns in sensory data. In contrast, electronic computers adopt hardware architectures that process information serially, leading to higher latency and power consumption when implementing intrinsically parallel algorithms, such as neural networks. This software-hardware architectural […]

MEAM Seminar: “Bilevel Optimization for Control, Learning, and Multi-contact Robotics”

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

Whether operating in a manufacturing plant or assisting within the home, many robotic tasks requires safe and controlled interaction with a complex and changing world. In this talk, I will present our recent progress on learning and control in contact rich settings. In the first segment, I will show how integrating the non-smooth structure of […]

ESE Seminar: “A New Era of Open-Source System-on-Chip Design”

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

Open-source software has been a critical enabler for tremendous innovation in the software ecosystem over the past two decades. Inspired by this success, open-source hardware involves making the high-level description of hardware components freely available for others to study, change, distribute, and ultimately use in fabricating their own hardware components. Unfortunately, open-source hardware has had […]

Immunology/BE Seminar: “Engineering Next-Generation CAR-T Cells for Cancer Immunotherapy” (Yvonne Chen)

This event is part of the Penn Institute for Immunology Colloquium seminar series and is co-hosted by the Department of Bioengineering. This virtual event will be held on Bluejeans. Attend the live seminar via this link. Or download the Bluejeans app and and enter ID: wxbzgity Contact ifiadmin@pennmedicine.upenn.edu with any questions. The adoptive transfer of […]

Neuroengineering/BE Seminar: “Photovoltaic Restoration of Sight in Age-related Macular Degeneration” (Daniel Palanker)

Presented by The Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics Presents and The Bioengineering Department. Check email for zoom link or Everett Prince at eprince@seas.upenn.edu. Retinal degenerative diseases lead to blindness due to loss of the “image capturing” photoreceptors, while neurons in the “image-processing” inner retinal layers are relatively well preserved. Information can be reintroduced into the […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | 3D Porous High Areal Capacity Lithium-ion Micro-Batteries Enabled by Electrochemical Techniques

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract: This study involves design and fabrication of scalable, high surface area, and porous 3D metal network-based Li-ion micro-batteries with energy and power that meet the demands of commercial microelectronics. A facile high current hydrogen-templated electroplating technique is utilized to generate 3D structures millimeter scale in z-direction through a facile route, which serve as the […]

ESE Seminar: “Quantum Dot Plasmon Nanolasers”

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

Miniaturized light sources are critical for next-generation on-chip photonic devices. Plasmon-based lasers and surface plasmon amplified spontaneous emission of radiation (spasers) have received significant attention since their prediction over a decay over a decade ago. Major advances have included subwavelength footprint sizes, room-temperature operation, far-field emission directionality, and understanding of the lasing mechanism. Notably, one […]
