Fluorinated polymers offer a plethora of unique and sometimes perplexing properties. One of the most interesting is the ability for specific types of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to undergo room-temperature, sheer-induced, structural […]
This talk presents novel non-parametric methods for analyzing dynamical systems using solely trajectory data. Our critical insight is to replace the notion of invariance, a core concept in Lyapunov Theory, […]
Sociotechnical systems enable large-scale connection and the dissemination of timely, engaging information. However, these systems are shaped by complex, often invisible governance structures—comprising rules, roles, and relationships—that significantly influence how […]

Abstract: Performance of control systems depend on the nature of available measurements. Perception of edges, keypoints, landmarks and other natural semantic features make certain coarse measurements available to control systems operating in […]
In this talk I will tell you how scaling has been the engine of progress in AI for the past five years. In the first scaling paradigm, our field scaled large […]
This is an in-person event only and is not open to the public. Event Registration and Penncards are required. A link to register for the event will be sent via […]
Abstract: Biology is characterized by a diversity of phenotypes and functions that outpace the limited molecular diversity encoded in genomes. How this is achieved is a fundamental and enduring mystery […]
This seminar will start at 3:30 PM instead of 3:00. This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT When designing […]
Machinery relies on lubrication to regulate friction and wear at contacting interfaces. As lubricants become less viscous to save energy and cost, and as new technologies like electric vehicles operate […]
