MEAM Seminar: “Micromechanics of Near-ideal Polymer Networks”

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

Understanding the relationships between the structure of polymer networks and their mechanical properties remains a long-standing challenge in polymer physics. In recent years, a new paradigm for network formation has emerged, whereby near-ideal hydrogels are produced by the cross-coupling of branched macromolecules with well-defined chain length. Such near-ideal networks constitute an excellent model system to […]

CIS Seminar: “Learning with Label Noise: A Progressive Approach”

Zoom

The Machine Learning Research team at Morgan Stanley invites Penn students pursuing any degree type or major to participate in an interactive research talk by Dr. Yikai Zhang. The event will include a brief introduction to ML Research at Morgan Stanley by the Head of the Machine Learning Center of Excellence, Dr. Yuriy Nevmyvaka. ABSTRACT: Label noise is ubiquitous […]

BE Seminar: “Promoting Appendage/Limb Regeneration in Jellyfish, Drosophila, and Mouse” (Lea Goentoro)

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

This seminar will be held virtually on Zoom - check email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Can limb regeneration be induced? In this talk, I will discuss our work to promote regeneration in animals with limited regeneration capacity. I will present our recent discovery of a strategy for inducing regenerative response in appendages, which works […]

GRASP On Robotics: “Autonomous, Agile Micro Drones: Perception, Learning, and Control”

Zoom

Abstract: Autonomous quadrotors will soon play a major role in search-and-rescue, delivery, and inspection missions, where a fast response is crucial. However, their speed and maneuverability are still far from those of birds and human pilots. High speed is particularly important: since drone battery life is usually limited to 20-30 minutes, drones need to fly […]

MEAM Thesis Defense: “Inkjet Printed Neuromorphic Inference Circuits with Memristor-Based Neuron Network”

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

The deployment of machine learning inference algorithms on Internet of Things (IoT) devices remains challenging. Despite the low fabrication cost, flexibility, and low power consumption of the printed electronics for IoT applications, there are not many demonstrations of printed electronics solving neural network tasks, mainly due to the poor electrical performance, low device yield, and […]

ESE Seminar: “Demystifying the Efficiency of Reinforcement Learning: Two Recent Stories”

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

Reinforcement learning (RL), which is frequently modeled as sequential learning and decision making in the face of uncertainty, is garnering growing interest in recent years due to its remarkable success in practice. In contemporary RL applications, it is increasingly more common to encounter environments with prohibitively large state and action space, thus imposing stringent requirements on the […]

MEAM Seminar: “Surface and Interface Engineering in Manipulation and Fabrication of Colloid-Based Sub-Microporous Hierarchical Materials and Their Applications”

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

Micro- and nano-porous hierarchical materials exhibit extraordinary mechanical, energy conversion, and optical properties, but manufacturing challenges prevent them from being fabricated at cm-length scales or larger while maintaining the dense regular nm features that enhance their properties. Using self-assembled particles as a template to fabricate metallic hierarchical structures is promising to overcome these challenges, but […]
