MEAM Seminar: “Breaking Bones In situ: Multiscale Bioinspired Functional Materials”

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

In structural materials engineering, we often aim to create materials that are simultaneously strong, tough and lightweight- a combination classically considered mutually exclusive. Biogenic composite materials such as bone exhibit a combination of these properties exceeding that of their constituents, a feat generally credited to their hierarchal structure, down to the nanoscale. In this talk, […]

ESE Seminar: “Integrated Nonlinear and Quantum Photonic Devices”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Recent advances in nanofabrication technology have allowed for the realization of ultra-low loss nanophotonic waveguides and is opening up exciting opportunities for next-generation nonlinear photonic circuits with higher integration density, advanced functionalities, and ultralow energy consumption. Those features are critical for advancing photonic technologies in both classical and quantum domains. In this talk, I will […]

CIS & ESE Seminar: “Wireless Systems that See the Invisible with Machine Learning: Through-Wall Vision, Emotion Recognition, and Health Monitoring”

Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

Today, there is a huge interest in sensing technologies that can sense people and monitor their health. Yet, existing solutions require people to wear different sensors and devices on their bodies. In contrast, my research uses wireless signals to sense people without any physical contact. Wireless signals, which have been traditionally used for data communication, […]

CIS Seminar: “Communication Complexity, Quantum Computing and Optimization: New Connections and Insights”

Zoom - Email CIS for link cherylh@cis.upenn.edu

How much information flows through a system? This fundamental question is at the heart of communication complexity. Techniques from this field have turned out to be immensely powerful and fairly universal tools to understand the power of different kinds of algorithms. In this talk, I will describe new methods that I have developed to analyze […]
