ESE Seminar: “Synthetic dimensions: harnessing light’s internal degrees of freedom for quantum, nonlinear and topological photonics”

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

Scaling up next-generation photonic systems in a resource-efficient manner is a ubiquitous challenge for quantum technologies such as quantum networks, quantum simulation and computation, and for classical technologies such as photonic neural networks, LiDAR and communications. From a fundamental perspective, high-dimensional lattices hold promise for realizing and manipulating exotic states of light and matter, complementing […]

ODEI Spotlight: Navigating Sizeism and Fatphobia in Academia

BE/Biochem/Biophys Seminar: “The Coming of Age of De Novo Protein Design” David Baker

This seminar will be held virtually on Zoom (check email or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu). This seminar is jointly hosted by the Department of Bioengineering and the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics. Proteins mediate the critical processes of life and beautifully solve the challenges faced during the evolution of modern organisms. Our goal is to design a […]

CIS Seminar: “Bias and Representation in Sociotechnical Systems”

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

Algorithms play a central role in our lives today, mediating our access to civic engagement, social connections, employment opportunities, news media and more. While the sociotechnical systems deploying these algorithms—search engines, social networking sites, and others—have the potential to dramatically improve human life, they also run the risk of reproducing or intensifying social inequities and […]

GRASP On Robotics: “One Robot for Every Task”

Zoom

Abstract: The digitization of practically everything coupled with advances in machine learning, the automation of knowledge work, and advanced robotics promises a future with democratized use of machines and wide-spread use of AI, robots and customization. While the last 60 years have defined the field of industrial robots, and empowered hard bodied robots to execute […]
