Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Nikos Kolotouros, University of Pennsylvania, “Reconstructing 3D Humans from Images”

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

The past decade we have seen remarkable progress in Computer Vision, mainly fueled by the recent advances in Deep Learning. Unsurprisingly, human perception has been the center of attention. We now have access to systems that can work remarkably well for traditional 2D tasks like segmentation or pose estimation. However, scaling this to 3D remains […]

CBE Seminar: “Investigating Biomedical Challenges Through State-of-the-Art DNA-based Technology”

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

Abstract DNA can serve purposes beyond conveying hereditary information – its highly specific Watson-Crick base pairing can also be used to direct the assembly of cells, nanoparticles, and proteins. Recently developed in the Sohn lab , high-throughput DNA-directed patterning takes advantage of the versatile and iterative aspects of photolithography to define clearly regions on an […]

GRASP on Robotics: Ankur Mehta, University of California, Los Angeles, “Towards $1 Robots”

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

Robots are pretty great — they can make some hard tasks easy, some dangerous tasks safe, or some unthinkable tasks possible. And they’re just plain fun to boot. But how many robots have you interacted with recently? And where do you think that puts you compared to the rest of the world’s people? In contrast […]
