MEAM/GRASP Seminar: “Saltatorial Locomotion on Terrain Obstacles”

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

Robots often struggle to move through complicated environments from cluttered living spaces to treetop canopies where humans and animals flit with ease. Jumping is an exciting locomotion mode that can enable small ground-based robots to maneuver around large obstacles and gaps in complicated environments. A high-power jumping robot can rapidly traverse obstacles, but the resulting […]

PICS Alumni Spotlight: “Zahera Jabeen”

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

The PICS Alumni Spotlight is an opportunity for current students to talk and network with alumni. These talks begin with the speaker discussing their education and career paths and then answering questions from students.

CBE Seminar: “Delineating Mechanisms of BMP-mediated Patterning and Organization During Development Through Integrative Experiment and Simulation”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract The emergence of coordinated cellular, tissue, and organismal responses rely on complex biological networks. While the connectivity of the networks is increasingly defined, understanding the dynamics of the system and the emergence of coordinated responses at multiple spatial and temporal scales is an unsolved problem in many systems. This is a challenge addressed by […]

ESE Seminar: “Accelerating MRI with Deep Learning”

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

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be accelerated by sampling below the Shannon-Nyquist rate via compressed sensing techniques. In this talk, I will consider the problem of optimizing the under-sampling pattern in a data-driven fashion, which has been an open problem for over a decade. For a given sparsity constraint, our method optimizes the under-sampling pattern […]

SIG Seminar:”Computational Design for the Next Manufacturing Revolution”

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

Abstract: 3D printers are radically transforming the aerospace and automotive industries. Whole-garment knitting machines allow the automated production of complex apparel and shoes. Manufacturing electronics on flexible substrates enable a new range of integrated products for consumer electronics and medical diagnostics. These advances demonstrate the potential for a new economy of on-demand production of objects […]

PICS: “Python Workshop”

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

The Penn Institute for Computational Science (PICS) will be hosting a Python workshop on Saturday, November 7 from 10:00am – 3:30pm via Zoom. This course is designed to be an introduction to programming in Python. In this workshop you will learn to write clean, readable, and fast Python code with a focus on graphics-based programming. In […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Polymer Mechanics and Dynamics in Polymer Nanoparticle Composites

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  "Polymer nanoparticle composites (PNCs) have become an important topic of research due to their highly tunable macroscopic properties. Compared to the pure polymers, PNCs exhibit increase in mechanical strength, altered thermodynamic properties, and simultaneous improvement in permeability and selectivity in small molecule transport. Understanding the fundamental physics that control the behavior of both components […]
