GRASP on Robotics: Ankur Mehta, University of California, Los Angeles, “Towards $1 Robots”

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

Robots are pretty great — they can make some hard tasks easy, some dangerous tasks safe, or some unthinkable tasks possible. And they’re just plain fun to boot. But how many robots have you interacted with recently? And where do you think that puts you compared to the rest of the world’s people? In contrast […]

MEAM Seminar: “The Unsteady Aerodynamics of Wind Power Generation”

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

Wind energy plays a crucial role in clean energy generation. Currently, horizontal axis wind turbines dominate the wind energy sector. Nevertheless, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have some advantages over traditional horizontal axis wind turbines. However, their performance is difficult to predict and they are prone to failure over time. This is because the axis […]

ESE Spring Colloquium – “Autonomous Microsystems Based on Heterogeneously Integrated CMOS for Biological Big Data”

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

Minimally invasive and chronic physiological monitoring can provide an effective means of disease prevention and early detection while the cumulative big data can unveil hidden patterns in our physiology. Yet, current physiological monitoring tools are often bulky, invasive, and expensive, limiting their sensitivity and applicability. In this talk, I will discuss autonomous microsystems based on […]

Joseph Bordogna Forum: “Engineering for Everyone: Centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”

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

Please join us for this distinguished lecture given by Dr. Gilda Barabino, President of Olin College of Engineering. "Engineering for Everyone: Centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" At its core, engineering involves creative problem solving. Diverse groups of problem solvers are more likely to outperform homogeneous groups and derive the best solution. Yet, ensuring diverse groups […]

CIS Seminar: “Foundations of Cryptographic Proof Systems”

Room 307, Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This talk will be on zoom as well: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/92928358554?pwd=MWdDU0lJRmE3U0hDWUdmU284UmNGZz09

CEMB Future Leaders: Richard Vincent

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

Launched in May 2021, the Future Leaders in Mechanobiology is a monthly seminar series featuring up-and-coming leaders in mechanobiology–PhD students and postdocs from a wide range of fields, backgrounds, and institutions. By providing an international stage to share one’s work and opportunities to interact with researchers at all career stages, we aim to create an inclusive and […]

Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Johannes Betz, University of Pennsylvania, “Autonomous Handling at the Limits – Winning the Indy Autonomous Challenge”

Levine 512

*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 512 and Virtual attendance via Zoom The rising popularity of self-driving cars has led to the creation of an additional research and development branch in the recent years: Autonomous racing. Researchers are developing algorithms and hardware for high performance race vehicles which aim to operate […]

CBE Seminar: “BEYOND SURFACE” Facilitates Electrocatalytic Reactions of Renewable Carbons

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

Abstract There has been growing interest to drive chemical reactions via the direct use of renewable electricity to address sustainability challenges. The success of the approach rests on the use of the right materials to efficiently catalyze electrochemical reactions. Thus, there have been intense efforts to engineer catalyst materials whose surface contains the desired active […]
