MEAM Seminar: “Soft-Matter Engineering for Robotics and Wearables”

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

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, […]

ODEI Spotlight: Career Services’ 2021 Engineering Career Day (Virtual Career Fair)

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 […]

CEMB Future Leaders Seminar: “Exchange of molecular and cellular information: A hybrid model connecting regulatory interactions with stem cell divisions in the root”

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

Launched in May 2021, the Future Leaders in Mechanobiology is a monthly seminar series featuring up-and-coming leaders in mechanobiology–PhD students and postdocs from a wide range of fields, backgrounds, and institutions. By providing an international stage to share one’s work and opportunities to interact with researchers at all career stages, we aim to create an inclusive and […]

CBE Seminar: “Design of Sequential Catalytic Solvolysis Process for Selectively Deconstructing Waste Plastics”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract Environmental plastic problems have recently arisen as a core subject of global debate and concern. Plastic products for multiple applications have risen from 1.7 million in 1950 to 368 million tons in 2019 and are projected to reach 1,800 million tons by 2050. Recycling plastics and enabling the circular economy are essential to mitigate […]

MSE Seminar: “From Conducting Polymers to Conducting Molecular Search A Materials Science Pathway to the Perkin Medal”

Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The Perkin Medal that Dr. Frommer is receiving in September cites her lifetime scientific accomplishments in electronically conducting polymers and atomic force microscopy. The reality is these are but two points on a continuum of using chemistry to reveal the molecular underpinnings of material properties. This talk will take a path through studies to explore […]

BE Seminar: “Regenerative Engineering: Enabling Regenerative Medicine” (Guillermo Ameer)

Moore 216 200 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This seminar will be held live and broadcast via zoom - check your email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Regenerative engineering is the convergence of advances in materials science, physical sciences, stem cell and developmental biology, and translational medicine to develop tools that enable the regeneration and reconstruction of tissue and organ function. I will […]

CEMB: Academic Job Search During the Pandemic

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

The Center for Engineering Mechanobiology Trainee Leadership Council (TLC) presents a professional development event for graduate students and postdocs considering an academic career. We will talk with three UPenn alumni who have successfully navigated the academic job search during the pandemic. Hear what the search process was like and learn tips for your own search.

PICS Colloquium: “Protein dynamics and energy landscape engineering”

Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

Abstract: Experiments only reveal a few of a protein’s structures with the atomic detail required to rationally engineer mutations and drugs. However, a protein actually has a vast landscape of uncharted conformations that present untapped opportunities for manipulating its function. My lab is developing simulation methods, called Markov state models (MSMs), that provide unprecedented access […]
