ESE Seminar – “Computing Using Time”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The development of computing systems able to address our ever-increasing needs, especially as we reach the end of CMOS transistor scaling, requires truly novel methods of computing. My research draws inspiration from biology, rethinks the digital/analog boundary, and challenges conventional wisdom, which typically guides how we perform computation, by reimagining the role of time. In […]

PSOC@Penn Seminar: Cheng Zhu, PhD

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Physical Sciences in Oncology Center PSOC@Penn Spring 2022 Hybrid-Seminar Series Towne 225 / Raisler Lounge @ Noon (EST) For Zoom link , please contact manu@seas.upenn.edu

CIS Seminar: “Fast and Effective Analytics for Big Multi-Dimensional Data”

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

Today, automated processes, Internet‑of‑Things deployments, and Web and mobile applications generate an overwhelming amount of high‑dimensional data. Meanwhile, computational resources remain limited, and advances in machine learning (ML) create a pressing need to support increasingly expensive and complex analytical tasks. Unfortunately, traditional data management techniques offer limited support for high‑dimensional data, ML tasks, and adaptation […]

MEAM Seminar: “Agile Maneuver with Under-Actuated Millirobots”

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

Decimeter-scale robots can use a wide range of techniques to maneuver in challenging environments in spite of lacking the actuated degrees of freedom typically seen in larger robots. Agile maneuver for these small robots greatly benefits from a high power-to-weight ratio and mechanical design which can exploit environment interactions, in addition to explicit control strategies. […]

ESE Spring Seminar – “Advancing Precision Medicine and Precision Health with CMOS-enabled Continuous Monitoring of Molecules, Cells, and Beyond”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

“Continuous” monitoring of specific biomarkers in real-time offers longitudinal information that can enable not only rapid medical decision-making but also early disease detection. As opposed to the current end-point diagnostics approaches, such a continuous-monitoring capability introduces a new dimension in achieving precision medicine and precision health. In this talk, I will present my research contributions […]

Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Scott Guan, Georgia Institute of Technology, “Toward Scalability in Multi-Agent Decision Making”

Levine 512

*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom While machine learning algorithms have led to tremendous improvements in many multi-agent domains, scalability remains one of the major challenges for multi-agent decision-making. In this talk, we will focus on two aspects of the scalability challenge: (i) number of agents, and (ii) large state space. We will […]

CBE Seminar: “Too Small is Never Too Small: Utilizing Advanced Path Sampling Techniques to Probe the Kinetics and Mechanism of Rare Events, From Atmospheric Ice Nucleation to Ion Transport”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract More often than not, scientists are challenged with the daunting problem of measuring or computing astronomically small quantities that are related to the occurrence of rare events. A phenomenon is called a rare event when the amount of time that elapses before its occurrence is orders of magnitude longer than the time needed for […]

ESE Spring Seminar – “Next Generation Bioelectronic Medicine: Wireless Microelectronic Systems”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The ability to understand living systems in the body and attain therapeutic effects at target organs promises to transform therapies for complex diseases and conditions that cannot be treated adequately with drug-based therapies alone. The last decade has seen rapid advances in implantable medical devices (implants), ranging from new materials to increased implant sophistication and […]
