MEAM Seminar: “U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

With the constantly changing threat environment, the Army needs to be able to quickly adapt their tactics and equipment. But burdensome and lengthy acquisition cycles make this challenging. Additive manufacturing can potentially be utilized to overcome many of the challenges and enables on-demand manufacturing of repair parts, as well as rapid prototyping. Through topology optimization, […]

ESE Seminar: “Skin Interfaced Wearable Sweat Biosensors”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Abstract: The rising research interest in personalized medicine promises to revolutionize traditional medical practices. This presents a tremendous opportunity for developing wearable devices toward predictive analytics and treatment. In this talk, I will introduce our recent advances in developing fully-integrated skin-interfaced flexible biosensors for non-invasive molecular analysis. Such wearable biosensors can continuously, selectively, and accurately […]

CIS Seminar: “Embodied perception in-the-wild”

Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

Computer vision is undergoing a period of rapid progress, rekindling the relationship between perception, action, and cognition. Such connections may be best practically explored in the context of autonomous robots. In this talk, I will discuss perceptual understanding tasks motivated by embodied robots "in-the-wild", focusing on the illustrative case of autonomous vehicles. I will argue […]

MSE Seminar: “Approaching the Intrinsic Limit in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide van der Waals Heterostructures”

Studying the intrinsic behavior 2D materials requires attention to both external and internal sources of disorder. This talk will first review the techniques used to create clean heterostructures with hBN to reduce environmental disorder. In graphene, ten years of progress has led to device performance now rivaling he highest-quality GaAs-based heterostructures. On the other hand, […]

BE Seminar: “Stem Cell Fate is a Touchy Subject” (Quinton Smith)

This event will be held on zoom - check email for link and passcode. Contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu with any questions. The success of regenerative cell therapy relies on the integration of a functional vascular system within the redeveloping tissue, to mediate the exchange of oxygen, nutrients and waste.  Although the advent of human induced pluripotent stem […]
