CBE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Facilitating Chemical Process Development Using Theoretical Modeling and Machine Learning”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Computational modeling is an important tool to aid chemical process development. Theoretical and data-driven models can be applied both for the optimization of specific processes, and for the initial […]
MEAM Seminar: “Recent Evolution of Climate Science: From Greenhouse Gases and Temperature to Aerosol Particles and Precipitation”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesOn the eve of the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report, I will present a brief overview of how climate science has evolved since the publication of […]
ESE Seminar: “Large-Scale Quantum Photonic Processors”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract Photons play a central role in many areas of quantum information science, either as qubit themselves or to mediate interactions between long-lived matter based qubits. Techniques for (1) high-fidelity […]
CIS Seminar: Rethinking Operating System and Hardware Abstractions for Good and Evil
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Current hardware and operating system abstractions were conceived at a time when we had minimal security threats, scarce compute and memory resources, and limited numbers of users. These assumptions […]
CBE Seminar: “A Case for Carbon Dioxide Removal from Air”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: As a global society, we have been burning fossil fuels to meet our energy and transportation needs since the start of the industrial revolution. This has resulted in atmospheric […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Engineering non-equilibrium structure and functionality in complex solids”
Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesUnique macroscopic phenomena, such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance, emerge in many complex solids due to the interplay between their electronic, magnetic, and structural degrees of freedom. This interplay […]
ESE Seminar: “Adapting black-box machine learning methods for causal inference”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: I'll discuss the use of observational data to estimate the causal effect of a treatment on an outcome. This task is complicated by the presence of 'confounders' that influence both […]
BE Seminar: “Repurposing bacterial two-component systems as sensors for synthetic biology applications “
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesTwo-component systems (TCSs) are the largest family of signal transduction pathways in biology, and a treasure trove of biosensors for engineering applications. Though present in plants and other eukaryotes, TCSs […]
CIS Seminar: “User Generated Content: Opportunities to Inform Healthcare”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract When individuals post to social media or use wearable devices, data generated through these everyday interactions with technology reveal a great deal about behaviors that influence health in ways […]
