The Department of Bioengineering Fall 2024 Student Demos. Location: The Stephenson Foundation Bio-Makerspace (aka the BE Labs) in Skirkanich Hall 225. BE 3090, aka BE MAD: Human-Cockroach Machine Interface. December […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT As robots become more and more prevalent, both in the workplace […]
Quantum processors have become quite large and sophisticated machines over the last several years, with many tech companies racing to develop the first quantum computer of practical utility. While the […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Sydney Shaffer are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Dylan Schaff. Title:"Clonal differences underlie differential responses to initial, […]
We will discuss the analysis of membrane remodeling by proteins and peptides using multi-scale computational methods; these include mainly molecular dynamics simulations at atomistic and coarse-grained levels, although we will […]
Self-sensing actuators provide a compelling approach to designing compact robotic systems by integrating sensing capabilities directly into the actuator, eliminating the need for external sensors. This presentation, titled "Leveraging Impedance […]
Abstract: Eukaryotic cells orchestrate cellular processes through spatiotemporal organization achieved by compartmentalization. Biomolecular condensates, formed via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), serve as vital hubs for enzymatic reactions and mediate cellular […]
The study of electromagnetic wave interactions with various media is of fundamental significance in both theoretical and applied sciences. Understanding how electromagnetic waves propagate, reflect, refract, and scatter when encountering […]
Polymer nanocomposite (PNC) films are of interest for many applications including electronics, energy storage, and advanced coatings. In phase-separating PNCs, the interplay between thermodynamic and kinetic factors governs the assembly […]
Abstract: I will survey recent results describing the application of modern non-convex optimization methods to the problems of reconstruction attacks on private datasets (the “poison”), and the algorithmic generation of […]
