This is an opportunity to get to know more about the many undergraduate student organizations that exist at Penn. In addition to the in-person events being hosted 8/31-9/2 on College Green, groups will be available to connect virtually from 6-8pm these same days via PennClubs.com.
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Alice S. Chen-Plotkin are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Maria E. Diaz Ortiz. Title: From '-omics' to biomarkers and mechanisms in Parkinson's disease: Growth hormone receptor and GPNMB Date/Time: Thursday, September 2nd from 1-2 PM EST Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83054658861?pwd=NWVIUWI5TjMxQ1dxSm9aSTVWZ1hldz09
Update 9/2/21: Unfortunately due to the flooding in Philadelphia we will not be able to hold this seminar on campus. Check your email for the zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. The most effective medicines are those that target the earliest causes of disease, rather than later manifestations. Engineering of biomolecules is a promising but underexplored […]
In this talk I will illustrate four different perspectives that we as a community have embraced to study robotic manipulation: 1) controlling a simplified model of the mechanics of interaction with an object; 2) using haptic feedback such as force or tactile to control the interaction with an environment; 3) planning sequences or trajectories of […]
Abstract Obtaining predictive dynamical equations from data lies at the heart of science and engineering modeling, and is the linchpin of our technology. In mathematical modeling, one typically progresses from observations of the world (and some serious thinking!) first to equations for a model, and then to the analysis of the model to make predictions. […]
This event will be held virtually on zoom - link coming soon. Real-time microscopy of the dynamics of cells and tissues in 3D environments is opening new windows to understanding the biophysical mechanisms of complex biological processes. Direct visualization is allowing us to explore fundamental questions in more depth that include: How do cells migrate […]

Progress in soft lithography and soft materials integration have led to extraordinary new classes of soft-matter sensors, circuits, and transducers. These material technologies are composed almost entirely out of soft matter – elastomers, gels, and conductive fluids like eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) – and represent the building blocks for machines and electronics that are soft, flexible, […]
Calling all Penn Engineers, candidates in STEM fields and those interested in engineering and technology - you're warmly invited to Engineering Career Day 2021!! Organizations participating are seeking undergraduate and graduate degree candidates, postdoctoral fellows and young alumni for internships and full-time opportunities! When they register, they indicate the majors and academic levels of the […]
