BE Seminar – “Engineering cell state-specific gene regulation with AI and synthetic biology” (Sebastián Castillo Hair, University of Washington)
Cells across tissues, developmental stages, and disease conditions adopt distinct intracellular states – epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic profiles – to compartmentalize function in time and space. The ability to write […]
Spring 2025 GRASP Seminar: Hersh Sanghvi, University of Pennsylvania, “Online Controller Adaptation with Meta-Learned Models”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThis will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Control tuning and adaptation present a significant challenge to the usage […]
MEAM Seminar: “Flow Architectures, From Capillary Networks to Blood Transport through Organs”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesFlow systems in nature, whether animate or inanimate, have evolved in time toward greater efficiency by adapting, or ‘morphing’, their configuration to decrease resistance to the currents flowing through them.
