MSE Seminar: “Biomineralogical Signatures of Pathlogical Mineralization”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Pathological calcification is a wide-spread phenomenon in the human body, in which calcium minerals form in soft tissues and are found in both healthy and diseased tissues. One example are microcalcifications (MCs), which are primarily biological apatite and occur in cancerous and benign breast pathologies. MCs are key mammographic indicators, however, little is known about […]

Fall 2022 GRASP Seminar: Ankit Shah, Brown University, “Training Robots Like Apprentices”

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

*This is a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Domains such as high-mix manufacturing, domestic robotics, space exploration, etc., are key areas of interest for robotics. Yet, the difficulty of anticipating the role of robots in these domains is a crucial hurdle for the adoption of robots. […]

BE Seminar: “Cellular and Acellular Strategies for Heart and Lung Repair” (Ke Cheng, UNC/NCSU)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid seminar: Check email for the zoom link and passcode. "Cellular and Acellular Strategies for Heart and Lung Repair" Therapeutic tissue regeneration using stem cells has been hampered by the controversial identity of resident stem cells, low cell retention/engraftment, tumorigenecity and immunogenicity issues. Taking a bioengineering/biomaterials approach, this lecture will introduce the uses of drug delivery and biomaterials […]

Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: Matthew Johnson-Roberson, Carnegie Mellon University, “Lessons from the Field: Deep Learning and Machine Perception for field robots”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom.   ABSTRACT Mobile robots now deliver vast amounts of sensor data from large unstructured environments. In attempting to process and interpret this data there are many unique challenges in bridging the gap between prerecorded data sets and the […]

MEAM Seminar: “Nonlinear Mechanical Behavior of Kirigami-inspired Architected Materials”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

As 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing techniques have become more common, it is increasingly possible to produce structures with nearly arbitrary internal geometric and compositional features, opening up vast new design space for engineers. In this work, we consider a kirigami-inspired, flexible architected material comprising rotating squares joined at their vertices. The rotational degrees […]

Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture: “How Memory Guides Value-Based Decisions” (Daphna Shohamy, Columbia University)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This distinguished lecture will be a hybrid event held in the Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom. A light reception will follow the live lecture. Zoom link Passcode: 704696 "How Memory Guides Value-Based Decisions" From robots to humans, the ability to learn from experience turns a rigid response system into a flexible, adaptive one. […]

Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: David Fouhey, University of Michigan, “Understanding the Physical World from Images”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom.   ABSTRACT If I show you a photo of a place you have never been to, you can easily imagine what you could do in that picture. Your understanding goes from the surfaces you see to the ones […]
