MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Coarse-graining of Atomistic Models to the Continuum Scale with Applications to Elastodynamics and Diffusive Processes”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesNonequilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous in nature as well as industrial applications. However, their modeling and simulation faces a strong compromise between physical fidelity and computational efficiency, with atomistic simulations and continuum descriptions lying towards the two ends of this spectrum. In this dissertation we will first revisit several continuum modeling strategies for the formulation of […]
ESE Seminar: “Caching and Coding in Networks: Rate Efficiency, Age Efficiency”
Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCaching is of primary importance in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and in particular in information-centric network (ICN) architectures where the focal point is content rather than where it can be retrieved from. As a result, in ICN networks one can replicate and store (or cache) content at various nodes throughout the network so that it can […]

NSF CAREER Awards Workshop
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesMEAM Seminar: “Hierarchical Task-Parameterized Learning from Demonstration “
Moore 216 200 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesMany modern humanoid robots are designed to operate in human environments, like homes and hospitals. Such robots could help humans accomplish tasks and lower their physical and/or mental workload. However, robot users in homes and hospitals typically are not familiar with robotics or programming, therefore it is difficult for them to adapt robots to their […]
