Miniaturized light sources are critical for next-generation on-chip photonic devices. Plasmon-based lasers and surface plasmon amplified spontaneous emission of radiation (spasers) have received significant attention since their prediction over a decay over a decade ago. Major advances have included subwavelength footprint sizes, room-temperature operation, far-field emission directionality, and understanding of the lasing mechanism. Notably, one […]

The ability to transform medical polymers, commonly used for resorbable surgical sutures, into desired 3D forms/shapes/structures at nano and micro scales with “smart” functions, while sustaining the materials’ excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, provides significant applications in different biomedical fields, ranging from tissue engineering and controlled drug/vaccine delivery to medical devices. Here, I will present our […]
Algorithms have entered the center of many decision making processes, either by providing predictions or assessments to facilitate human decision making or, in some scenarios, suggesting decisions directly. More and more attention has been placed to ensure algorithms satisfy some desirable notion of fairness, which is an important step forward. In this talk, I will […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Beth Winkelstein are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Meagan Ita. Title: "Biomechanical & Biochemical Contributions of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Joint Pain: Models, Mechanisms & Patients" Join Zoom Meeting https://upenn.zoom.us/j/92269228349 Meeting ID: 922 6922 8349
Abstract: Flagellated and motile bacteria, in isolation or in coexistence with fungi, are implicated in about two-thirds of human infections. During infection, and generally even in relatively benign situations, bacteria may colonize surfaces via a process called swarming – a form of rapid translocation associated with changes in cell phenotype. As swarmer cells move rapidly, they interact […]
“Interplay of receptor tyrosine kinase activation at the cell surface and environmental mechanics” Physical Sciences in Oncology Center PSOC@Penn Fall 2020 Webinar Series Mondays @ Noon (EST) For webinar links, please contact manu@seas.upenn.edu
Physical models of many natural and engineered systems are, at best, only partially known; a common setting under which classical analytical or computational tools inevitably face challenges and introduce many sources of uncertainty. Therefore, observational data plays a crucial role, yet our ability to collect them far outpaces our ability to sensibly assimilate it, let […]
