The current pandemic highlights an acute need to develop fast therapeutics against health threats. Traditional approaches to drug discovery are expensive and slow to react to pandemics. In this talk, I will discuss how to accelerate drug discovery with deep learning, and demonstrate their success in antibiotic discovery and COVID-19 drug combination design. In computational terms, […]

From factories to households, we envision a future where robots can work safely and efficiently alongside humans. For robots to truly be adopted in such dynamic environments, we must i) minimize human effort while communicating and transferring tasks to robots; ii) endow robots with the capabilities of adapting to changes in the environment, in the […]
Abstract: Machine learning accelerated catalyst discovery efforts has seen much progress in the last few years. Datasets of computational calculations have improved, models to connect surface structure with electronic structure or adsorption energies have gotten more sophisticated, and active learning exploration strategies are becoming routine in discovery efforts. However, there are several large challenges that […]

Penn Law Lambda, Wharton out for Business, Penn Med Pride, and the Annenberg School of Communication will be speaking about being queer in grad school. The event will take place on Friday March 26th from 2:00 […]
Abstract: Coagulation kinetics are well established in well plates assays in which human plasma clots isotropically. However, less is known about thrombin kinetics and transport within clots formed under hemodynamic flow. Using microfluidic perfusion of Factor XIIa-inhibited human whole blood over a 250-micron long patch of collagen/tissue factor and immunoassays of the effluent for fragment […]
