The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Foteini Mourkioti are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Nuoying Ma. Title: Piezo1 regulation of muscle stem […]
This talk aims to describe GB responses to absorption of dislocation loops, as part of increasing understanding of component phenomena of radiation damage in materials. The context of radiation damage […]
Soft and compliant robots provide new opportunities for machines that are flexible, adaptable, safe, and robust. Origami-inspired engineering enables custom robots to be designed and fabricated within days, or even […]
We are at a transformational junction in computing, in the midst of an explosion in capabilities of foundational AI models that may soon match or exceed typical human abilities for […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Raisler Lounge and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Nature presents a captivating confluence of diversity and similarity. In order to make […]
ABSTRACT: In recent years, foundation models—large pretrained models that can be adapted for a wide range of tasks—have achieved state-of-the-art performance on a variety of tasks. While the pretrained models […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT What kind of representation do robots need in order to be as generally capable […]
Global energy demand will continue to increase, and the ability of fossil fuels to meet these demands is limited due to the associated climate change concerns. In response to these […]
In this talk, I will describe theoretical and computational strategies based on quantum mechanical calculations, aimed at predicting material properties suitable for the development of quantum technologies. Specifically, I will […]
Formal methods can provide strong correctness guarantees for today's computing systems, but their usage is often restricted to formal methods experts. Formal verification is then bottlenecked on these experts, limiting […]
