*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom Robots can act as a force multiplier for people, whether a robot assisting an astronaut with a repair on the International Space station, a UAV taking flight over our cities, or an autonomous vehicle driving through our streets. Existing […]

CBE Seminar: “Design of Advanced Functional Surfaces Using Oxygen-Tolerant Photopolymerization”

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

Abstract The covalent attachment of polymers has emerged as a powerful strategy for the preparation of multi-functional surfaces. Patterned, surface-grafted polymer brushes provide spatial control over a variety of physical properties and allow for fabrication of ‘intelligent’ substrates which selectively adapt to their environment. This presentation describes recent advances in our group in using photolithography […]

MSE Seminar: “Multiphoton Microscopy for Imaging Deeper, Wider, and Faster”

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

Multiphoton microscopy has changed how we visualize neurons by providing high-resolution, non-invasive imaging capability deep within intact brain tissue. Multiphoton imaging will likely play a major role in understanding how the brain works at the level of neural circuits. In this talk, in vivo structural and functional imaging of mouse brain using long wavelength excitation […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Some Investigations of Phase Transitions in Rod-like Macro-molecules and Fibrous Gels”

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

Two problems pertaining to solid-solid phase transitions are presented here. First, we conduct Langevin dynamics calculations on a chain of masses and bistable springs in a viscous fluid, and extract a temperature dependent kinetic relation by observing that the dissipation at a phase boundary can be estimated by performing an energy balance. Using this kinetic […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Engineering injectable, radiopaque hydrogels for X-ray imaging and therapeutic delivery for cancer treatments” (Clara Dong)

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

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. David Cormode are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Clara Dong. Title: Engineering injectable, radiopaque hydrogels for X-ray imaging and therapeutic delivery for cancer treatments Date: 4/21 1pm Location: Zoom https://upenn.zoom.us/j/91096994943?pwd=TVh5UFltSlBHTXJ6blp4VFlRbTNUdz09  The public is welcome to attend.

GRASP on Robotics: Katherine Kuchenbecker, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, “Haptics and Physical Human-Robot Interaction”

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

A haptic interface is a mechatronic system that modulates the physical interaction between a human and their tangible surroundings. Such systems typically take the form of grounded kinesthetic devices, ungrounded wearable devices, or surface devices, and they enable the user to act on and feel a remote or virtual environment. I will elucidate key approaches […]
