CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Hydrodeoxygenation of Biomass-Derived Model Compounds Over Bifunctional Catalysts

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  The negative social and environmental impacts from burning of fossil fuels motivated the development of renewable and sustainable sources for the production of electricity such as wind and solar. Lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a promising feedstock for carbon-based fuels and chemicals and much research effort has recently been directed at developing efficient catalytic […]

GRASP On Robotics: “Autonomous, Agile Micro Drones: Perception, Learning, and Control”

Zoom

Abstract: Autonomous quadrotors will soon play a major role in search-and-rescue, delivery, and inspection missions, where a fast response is crucial. However, their speed and maneuverability are still far from those of birds and human pilots. High speed is particularly important: since drone battery life is usually limited to 20-30 minutes, drones need to fly […]

PICS Colloquium: “Network-Based Characterization, Modeling, and Control of Fluid Flows”

Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

The network of interactions in a sea of vortices gives rise to the amazingly rich dynamics of fluid flows. To describe these interactions, we consider the use of mathematical tools from the emerging field of network science that is comprised of graph theory, dynamical systems, data science, and control theory. In this presentation, we discuss […]

ODEI Town Hall Discussion of the Chauvin Trial Verdict

This past week a jury in Minneapolis rendered its verdict in the trail of Derek Chauvin. While this verdict cannot undo the trauma that George Floyd’s family and the entire country experienced, it is one step towards building a society where justice and accountability are guaranteed for all citizens. In order to support the Penn […]

ODEI Annual Banquet: Resiliency and Intentionality in Engineering

Come celebrate graduating Penn Engineering students, network with alumni, socialize with current students, and play games for chances to win prizes! Penn Engineering alumna Faith Taliaferro will be a guest speaker. You don't want to miss it! Join Zoom: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/95920893362 Please RSVP here: https://forms.gle/QG3sAK3ikK7DjDqm7

MSE Seminar: “Predicting and Controlling Scalable Quantum Systems”

Quantum materials host spectacular excited-state and nonequilibrium effects, but many of these phenomena remain challenging to control and, consequently, technologically underexplored. My group’s research, therefore, focuses on how quantum systems behave, particularly away from equilibrium, and how we can harness these effects. By creating predictive theoretical and computational approaches to study dynamics, decoherence and correlations […]

ODEI Spotlight: “Understanding Asian Racialized Trauma”

Understanding Asian Racialized Trauma Date: Tuesday, April 27 Time: 11:00AM EDT This presentation aims to help the Asian international student body of Penn and allies to start a conversation, centering Asian perspectives, about the rising anti-Asian hate we are witnessing nationally. We will discuss the unique ways in which Asians living in America are racialized […]

Neural Networks for Machine Learning: A Symposium to Honor Kunihiko Fukushima, Recipient of the 2021 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science

The School of Engineering and Applied Science is honored to co-organize, with Drexel University and the Franklin Institute, a symposium to honor the Bower Awardee, Kunihiko Fukushima, the inventor of the Neocognitron. Dr. Fukushima joins a list of many distinguished laureates of the Franklin Institute - of these over 90 laureates have later received the […]

ODEI Spotlight: FGLI Community Forum

Wednesday, April 28 | 2:00PM EDT Join Penn First Plus, PENNCAP and CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) for a community forum focusing on learning more about CAPS, its services, and ways in which FGLI students can utilize CAPS services during the semester and summer.
