CIS Seminar: “Making Parallelism Pervasive with the Swarm Architecture”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Parallelism is critical to achieve high performance in modern computer systems. Unfortunately, most programs scale poorly beyond a few cores, and those that scale well often require heroic implementation […]
BE Grace Hopper Lecture: Powering tumor cell migration through heterogeneous microenvironments
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesTo move through tissues, cancer cells must navigate a complex, heterogeneous network of fibers in the extracellular matrix. This network of fibers also provides chemical, structural and mechanical cues to […]

MEAM Seminar: “Integrating Manufacturing and Topological Optimization for the Design of Architected Materials and Components”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesTopology optimization has long been touted as a powerful tool capable of discovering innovative solutions to engineering design problems. It has been used to design 'structures' characterized at a range […]
CIS Seminar: “Towards a New Synthesis of Reasoning and Learning”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThis talk discusses the role of logical reasoning in statistical machine learning. While their unification has been a long-standing and crucial open problem, automated reasoning and machine learning are still […]
2019 Heilmeier Lecture: “Cell-Matrix Interactions in Cancer and Fibrosis: Multiscale Chemo-Mechanical Models”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCell invasion into the surrounding matrix from nonvascularized primary tumors is the main mechanism by which cancer cells migrate to nearby blood vessels and metastasize to eventually form secondary tumors.
