PICS Colloquium: “A model for external aerodynamics based on building-block flows”

PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: A wall model for large-eddy simulation is proposed by devising the flow as a collection of building blocks, whose information enables the prediction of the stress as the wall.  The core assumption of the model is that simple canonical flows (such as turbulent channel flows, boundary layers, pipes, ducts, speed bumps, etc) contain the […]

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “3D-stiffness Microenvironment Leads to Nuclear Envelope Rupture, DNA Damage, and Genome Variation”

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract:  "Solid tumor cells grow in a stiff microenvironment with dense extracellular matrix (ECM) and condensed packing of adjacent cells. Tumor cells are capable of migrating through constricted pores formed by ECM or surrounded by other cells, and the nuclear envelope can break with repair factor mislocalization, further leading to DNA damage and genetic changes, […]

MEAM Seminar: “Designing Robotic Systems with Collective Embodied Intelligence”

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

Natural swarms exhibit sophisticated colony-level behaviors with remarkable scalability and error tolerance. Their evolutionary success stems from more than just intelligent individuals, it hinges on their morphology, their physical interactions, and the way they shape and leverage their environment. Mound-building termites, for instance, are believed to use their own body as a template for construction; […]

ESE Grace Hopper Lecture – “A Communications Perspective on Digital Privacy”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Many of the activities in cyberspace, from social networking to the use of mobile apps, leave digital footprints compromising the users’ privacy.  As digital tracking technologies become more sophisticated and pervasive, there is a need to understand and quantify the users’ privacy risk, that is, what is the likelihood that users in cyberspace can be […]

CIS Seminar: “Sketching Algorithms”

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

Abstract: A "sketch" is a data structure supporting some pre-specified set of queries and updates to a database while consuming space substantially (often exponentially) less than the information theoretic minimum required to store everything seen, and thus can also be seen as some form of functional compression. A "streaming algorithm" is simply a data structure […]

Fall 2021 GRASP SFI: “Studying Bias and Representation in Sociotechnical Systems”

*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom here… Algorithms play a central role in our lives today, mediating our access to civic engagement, social connections, employment opportunities, news media and more. While the sociotechnical systems deploying these algorithms—search engines, social networking sites, and others—have the […]
