Beyond Techno-Economics: Responsible Deployment in Carbon Management

Kleinman Energy Forum, Fisher Fine Arts Library 220 S 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The science is clear: to avoid the worst impacts of climate change we’ll need aggressive, economy-wide decarbonization in combination with atmospheric carbon removal at the billion-ton scale. These efforts will require unprecedented management of carbon dioxide through strategic technical deployment and infrastructure buildout. But given the rapid pace and scale of deployment ahead, how can we […]

Fall 2022 GRASP Seminar: Tomas Pajdla, Czech Technical University, “Solving Minimal Problems in the Age of Machine Learning”

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

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom.   ABSTRACT I will discuss several our recent advances in understanding minimal problems in computer vision using numerical algebraic geometry tools, i.e., Homotopy continuation and monodromy, as well as machine learning. I will talk about our classification of minimal […]

MEAM Seminar: “Materials and Manufacturing Solutions for Sustainable Energy”

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

In response to the grave and escalating threat of climate change, the US Department of Energy has announced a series of ambitious Energy Earth Shot Initiatives. These target an 80% reduction in the cost of clean hydrogen by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The first of the initiatives focuses on establishing a green […]

LRSM Special Lecture: “Pursuing a Scientific Career at a National Laboratory”

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

If you are finishing your PhD or your postdoctoral tenure you may be asking yourself, What’s next? Should I pursue an academic career, as my thesis adviser or postdoctoral supervisor has done? Or should I look elsewhere, perhaps at industry, or government? These are great questions that most of us have asked ourselves at the […]

BE Seminar: “Studying the Neural basis of Natural Spatial, Social and Acoustic Behaviors – in Freely Behaving and Flying Bats” (Michael Yartsev, UC Berkeley)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid seminar that will take place in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom (check email for link and passcode). Our lab seeks to understand the neural basis of complex spatial, acoustic and social behaviors in mammals. To do so, we take a neuroethological approach that leverages the specialization of the bat […]
