ESE Seminar: “Control of Light and Heat for New Energy Applications”
Light carries energy and heat, and plays a key role in many energy-conversion processes. The capabilities to tailor electromagnetic energy transfer at the nanoscale represent important opportunities for novel energy […]
BE Seminar Series: Applied Topology in Biological Systems
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThough rooted in pure mathematics, algebraic topology has recently enabled novel analysis techniques for biological data. Specifically, the method called persistent homology which employs ideas from topology to characterize the […]
BE Seminar Series: Synchronization is Robust in a Computational Model of Neuronal Network Dynamics and Injury
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAt the macroscale, synchronization between brain regions is believed to be important for memory and attention. Injury, including mild traumatic brain injury, can both increase and decrease synchronization as measured […]
BE Seminar Series: Heterogeneous, Multi-Scale and Patient-Speci C Pharmacodynamic Systems Models for Cancer with Clinical Applications
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Systems models of key signaling pathways in cancer have been extensively used to understand and explore the mechanisms of action of drugs and growth factors on cancer cell signaling. […]
CIS Seminar: “Improving Security at an Internet Scale: A Data-Driven Approach”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThe state of security across the Internet is poor, and it has been so for years. Meanwhile, attacks have become ever more frequent and consequential. How do we actually make […]
ESE Seminar: “Safety and Robustness Guarantees with Learning in the Loop”
In this talk, we present recent progress towards developing learning-based control strategies for the design of safe and robust autonomous systems. Our approach is to recognize that machine learning algorithms […]
CIS Seminar: “Towards Human-Level Recognition via Contextual, Dynamic, and Predictive Representations”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Existing state-of-the-art computer vision models usually specialize in single domains or tasks, while human-level recognition can be contextual for diverse scales and tasks. This specialization isolates different vision tasks […]
MEAM Seminar: “Additive Manufacturing and Architected Materials”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesMaterial properties are governed by the chemical composition and spatial arrangement of constituent elements. Over the past decade, the field of architected materials has sought to design, fabricate, and demonstrate […]
