CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “Selective Catalytic Reactions for Taking Furan-Based Compounds to Useful Chemicals”

Zoom - Email CBE for link

Abstract:  "Efforts have been devoted to understanding the upgrading of plant-based biomass waste into useful chemicals to replace the current petrochemical production. An extensive amount of work has been accomplished in the past few decades but there are still many uncertainties. The transformation of furanic compounds, which present a major fraction in lignocellulosic biomass, is […]

CEMB Future Leaders: “Immuno-stromal axes in pulmonary and biomaterial-mediate fibrosis”

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 […]

Fall 2021 GRASP Seminar: Heng Yang, “Certifiable Outlier-Robust Geometric Perception: Robots that See through the Clutter with Confidence”

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

*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance for Dr. Malikopoulos’ in-person talk in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom Webinar here.  Geometric perception is the task of estimating geometric models (e.g., object pose and 3D structure) from sensor measurements and priors (e.g., point clouds and neural network detections). Geometric perception […]

ESE Fall Colloquium – “Harnessing Piezoelectricity in Novel Microsystems for Classical and Quantum Information Processing”

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

Piezoelectricity is the intrinsic coupling between electric fields and strains in materials. While piezoelectric sensors, actuators, and RF filters are ubiquitous and important components of existing microsystems, their potential is still largely underutilized in many application spaces. In this talk, I will discuss the physics, engineering, and applications of two novel classes of piezoelectrically enabled […]

BE Seminar: “Neural Engineering and the Primate Brain: Working at the Electrical and Optical Interface” (Bijan Pesaran)

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

This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom – link coming soon. Neural engineering is enjoying an era of transformative growth. Classical methods that dominated the neurosciences for decades are being replaced by powerful new technologies. In this talk, I will discuss how to engineer electrical and optical interfaces to the primate brain. […]

CIS Seminar: “Encrypted Computation”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Can we use cryptography to protect data while simultaneously enabling computation over it? Such cryptosystems have the potential to enable all of the amazing benefits of cloud computing without forcing users to give up control over their private data. The breakthrough development of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) took the first step in this direction by showing […]

BE Seminar: “Self-Assembling Nanotechnologies for Precision Biomaterials” (Santiago Correa, Stanford)

Self-assembled materials with defined nanoscale architectures can engage with biological systems in fundamentally new ways, providing unprecedented biomedical opportunities. In particular, the ability to more precisely control both the location and timing of drug release makes these biomaterials especially useful for delivering potent or sensitive cargo, which has major implications for cancer therapy and immuno-engineering. […]

MEAM Seminar: “Assembly Engineering of Patchy Particles into Complex Structures, and Beyond”

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

The ability to predict, design and make the perfect material with just the right properties to do what we want, how we want, and when we want is the holy grail of materials research. Such “materials on demand” require control over thermodynamics, kinetics, nonequilibrium behavior, and structure across many length and time scales. With continuing […]
