CBE Seminar: “Optimizing Work and Heat flows in Sustainable Chemical Processes Using Attainable Regions” (Diane Hildebrandt, Rutgers University)

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

Abstract: A chemical process transforms feed materials into desired products, necessitating the exchange of heat and work between the process and the environment. Optimizing process performance requires careful selection of […]

MSE Seminar “Shaping a Soft Future”

Wu & Chen Auditorium

Existing devices—such as cell phones, computers, and robots – are made from rigid materials, which is in direct contrast to the soft materials that compose the human body. In this […]

IDEAS Seminar: “Equivariant Neural Inertial Odometry”

Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract:  In this talk, we introduce a new class of problems related to integrating inertial measurements obtained from an IMU that play a significant role in navigation combined with visual […]

CBE Seminar: “Backbone Modifications in Peptide Natural Products” (James Link, Princeton University)

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

Abstract: The posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in RiPPs (ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides) dictate their 3D structure and their bioactivity. An underlying structural feature of many RiPPs is macrocyclization, installed […]

MSE Seminar: “Kagome Metals and Their Unusual Electronic Properties”

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

In this talk, I will discuss new inroads in the study of electronic order within classes of metals built from kagome lattices or networks of corner sharing triangles.  The electronic […]
