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 […]

MEAM Thesis Defense: “Inkjet Printed Neuromorphic Inference Circuits with Memristor-Based Neuron Network”

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

The deployment of machine learning inference algorithms on Internet of Things (IoT) devices remains challenging. Despite the low fabrication cost, flexibility, and low power consumption of the printed electronics for IoT applications, there are not many demonstrations of printed electronics solving neural network tasks, mainly due to the poor electrical performance, low device yield, and […]
