"On Being Curious" What is curiosity? Is it an emotion? A behavior? A cognitive process? Curiosity seems to be an abstract concept — like love, perhaps, or justice — far from the realm of those bits of nature that science can possibly address. However, contrary to intuition, leading theories of curiosity from history, philosophy, and […]
Autonomous vehicles rely on environmental perception to inform the system on how to act. Vision sensors, such as conventional cameras, have been at the forefront of the perception of most mobile platforms. However, conventional cameras have limitations such as high data rates, low dynamic range, and high latency. Dynamic vision sensors, such as event cameras, […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Dan Huh are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Sunghee Estelle Park. Title: Engineering stem cells and organoids on a chip for the study of human health and disease Date: Wednesday, May 10, 2023 Time: 1:00 pm Location: Towne 225 Raisler Lounge […]
Advancements in wireless and sensor technology have resulted in increasing demand for piezoelectric MEMS devices in wireless handsets and base stations, automobile technology, health monitoring sensors, and environmental sensors. Due to its high-quality factor (Q), Young’s modulus, sound velocity, and low mechanical and dielectric losses, AlN is an advantageous resonator material with applications in radio […]
Creation of reconfigurable and multi-functional materials can be achieved by incorporating architecture into material design. In our research, we design and fabricate three-dimensional (3D) nano-architected materials that can exhibit superior and often tunable thermal, photonic, electrochemical, biochemical, and mechanical properties at extremely low mass densities (lighter than aerogels), which renders them useful and enabling […]

The future of the Internet of Things (IoT) envisions very large networks of spatially distributed devices cooperating to solve common tasks in both industrial and urban environments. That vision fundamentally relies on the use of wireless communication across such networks to enable flexibility, mobility, and dynamic configurations. To help realize that vision, we discuss three […]
