MSE Seminar: “A More Sustainable Future via Polymer Circularity”

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

In a Circular Economy, atoms and molecules are kept inside the economy where they continue to produce value, and they are kept out of unwanted places like our environment.  At a high level, this concept applied to polymers and plastics should reduce the flow of material into the environment, while improving efficiency and reducing demand […]

CIS Seminar: “Designing Hardware for Cryptography and Cryptography for Hardware”

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

There have been few high-impact deployments of hardware implementations of cryptographic primitives. We present the benefits and challenges of hardware acceleration of sophisticated cryptographic primitives and protocols, and describe our recent design work in accelerating Fully Homomorphic Encryption by three to four orders of magnitude using programmable hardware accelerators. We argue the significant potential for […]

Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: Daniel Hashimoto, University of Pennsylvania, “Building Multidisciplinary Teams for Surgical Translation of Artificial Intelligence”

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

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Surgical Data Science aims to improve the quality of interventional healthcare and its value through capture, organization, analysis and modelling of data. The operating room has long been siloed from in-depth review and analysis, but recent advances in […]

MEAM Seminar: “Mechanical Behavior of Self-healing Hydrogels with Chemical and Physical Cross-links: Theory and Experiments”

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

In recent years polymer chemists have made tremendous strides in the synthesis of biocompatible, tough, self-healing hydrogels. However, there are not many comprehensive mechanical models that capture the observed time dependent mechanical behavior of these gels (especially fracture) to the underlying, rate dependent bond breaking and reformation processes. In this talk I will summarize some […]

ASSET Seminar: Building certifiably safe and correct large-scale autonomy, Chuchu Fan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

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

ABSTRACT: The introduction of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) creates unprecedented opportunities for achieving full autonomy. However, learning-based methods in building autonomous systems can be extremely brittle in practice and are not designed to be verifiable. In this talk, I will present several of our recent efforts that combine ML with formal methods […]
