MSE Seminar: “Single Metal Site Catalysts for Sustainable and Clean Hydrogen Energy”

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

Fossil fuels have been overwhelmingly used in many industry sectors in past decades, causing significant CO2 and other pollutant emissions, low efficiency, and nonsustainability. Clean and efficient energy storage and conversion via electrochemical reactions associated with hydrogen, oxygen, and water have attracted substantial attention for energy and environmental sustainability. Among compelling energy technologies, hydrogen proton […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “High-throughput and high-dimensional single-cell analysis of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells” (Yuwan Guo)

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

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Jenny Jiang are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Yuwan Guo. Title: High-throughput and high-dimensional single-cell analysis of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells Advisor: Dr. Jenny Jiang Date :Thursday, Dec 5, 2024 Time: 11am - 1pm Location: Glandt Forum, 3rd floor Singh Center The […]

ESE PhD Seminar: “Multiferroic MEMS Magnetic Field Sensors for Biomedical Applications”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The human body produces magnetic fields wherever ion exchange occurs. Detecting these pico-Tesla level magnetic fields enables non-invasive monitoring of brain and heart health, but medical-grade sensing methods require large equipment with high power consumption. This talk will detail a solution using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) composed of a magnetostrictive and piezoelectric material. After an introduction […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Understanding the genome’s structure-function relationship in early neural lineage commitment” (Katelyn Titus)

CRB Auditorium 415 Curie Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Jennifer Cremins are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Katelyn Titus. Title: Understanding the genome's structure-function relationship in early neural lineage commitment Date: December 5, 2024 Time:  3:30 PM Location: CRB Austrian Auditorium The public is welcome to attend.

Fall 2024 GRASP on Robotics: Bill Smart, Oregon State University, “Privacy-Sensitive Robotics”

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

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT As robots become more and more prevalent, both in the workplace and outside it, they will have greater access to the details of our lives. Sensors used by these robots to make intelligent decisions about what […]

ESE Fall Seminar – “Quantum information processing stack: from bottom to top and back”

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

Quantum processors have become quite large and sophisticated machines over the last several years, with many tech companies racing to develop the first quantum computer of practical utility. While the progress has been impressive, quantum processors still face significant hurdles such as short coherence times and high error rates. They are not yet able to […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Clonal differences underlie differential responses to initial, sequential, and prolonged drug treatment” (Dylan Schaff)

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

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Sydney Shaffer are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Dylan Schaff. Title:"Clonal differences underlie differential responses to initial, sequential, and prolonged drug treatment" Date:December 6, 2024 Time: 1pm-3pm Location: Wu and Chen auditorium, Levine Hall The public is welcome to attend.

PICS Colloquium: Lipid Membrane Remodeling by Proteins and Peptides: Mechanistic insights from multi-scale analysis

PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

We will discuss the analysis of membrane remodeling by proteins and peptides using multi-scale computational methods; these include mainly molecular dynamics simulations at atomistic and coarse-grained levels, although we will also touch upon analyses using lattice models and a mean- field theory. The discussions will cover several systems that we have analyzed in recent studies, […]

MEAM Seminar: “Leveraging Impedance Properties for Free Self-Sensing in Actuators for Compact Robots”

Towne 319 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, United States

Self-sensing actuators provide a compelling approach to designing compact robotic systems by integrating sensing capabilities directly into the actuator, eliminating the need for external sensors. This presentation, titled "Leveraging Impedance Properties for Free Self-Sensing in Actuators for Compact Robots," highlights how the intrinsic impedance properties of actuators—resistance, inductance, and induced EMF—can be harnessed to achieve […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Engineering Biomolecular Condensates: Insights Into Catalytic Activities and Structural Design” (Muyang Guan)

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96301746733

Abstract: Eukaryotic cells orchestrate cellular processes through spatiotemporal organization achieved by compartmentalization. Biomolecular condensates, formed via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), serve as vital hubs for enzymatic reactions and mediate cellular functions. To investigate catalytic activities within biomolecular condensates, a light-emitting enzyme (NanoLuc) was incorporated into LAF-1 RGG model condensates. Incorporation into condensates led to a […]
