Decimeter-scale robots can use a wide range of techniques to maneuver in challenging environments in spite of lacking the actuated degrees of freedom typically seen in larger robots. Agile maneuver for these small robots greatly benefits from a high power-to-weight ratio and mechanical design which can exploit environment interactions, in addition to explicit control strategies.

“Continuous” monitoring of specific biomarkers in real-time offers longitudinal information that can enable not only rapid medical decision-making but also early disease detection. As opposed to the current end-point diagnostics approaches, such a continuous-monitoring capability introduces a new dimension in achieving precision medicine and precision health. In this talk, I will present my research contributions […]

*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom While machine learning algorithms have led to tremendous improvements in many multi-agent domains, scalability remains one of the major challenges for multi-agent decision-making. In this talk, we will focus on two aspects of the scalability challenge: (i) number of agents, and (ii) large state space. We will […]
Abstract More often than not, scientists are challenged with the daunting problem of measuring or computing astronomically small quantities that are related to the occurrence of rare events. A phenomenon is called a rare event when the amount of time that elapses before its occurrence is orders of magnitude longer than the time needed for […]

The ability to understand living systems in the body and attain therapeutic effects at target organs promises to transform therapies for complex diseases and conditions that cannot be treated adequately with drug-based therapies alone. The last decade has seen rapid advances in implantable medical devices (implants), ranging from new materials to increased implant sophistication and […]
UPDATE: This seminar will be virtual only via zoom – check email for zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Cell-induced matrix remodeling is a hallmark of tissue development, disease, and regeneration. My lab has been developing biomaterials and matrix characterization methods to study these dynamic cell-matrix interactions. In designing our biomaterials, we employ protein engineering methods […]
