MSE Seminar: “Understanding Degradation in Metal Halide Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesHalide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been the focus of much research in recent years due to their extremely high photoconversion efficiencies and their ability to be synthesized by solution […]
ESE Fall Colloquium – “Phase Transitions, Symmetry, and Reed-Muller Codes on BMS Channels”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThis talk will begin by discussing phase transitions in high-dimensional statistical inference problems. Some effort will be made to distinguish between problems with random structure (e.g., random codes and sparse […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Resilient, Information Theoretic, Active Exploration for Multi-Robot Teams”
Room 313, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesOver the past decades we have seen robots move from constrained and heavily designed industrial environments out into the world. Along with this shift there is a need for smaller, […]
Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: Radhika Nagpal, Princeton University, “Towards Collective Artificial Intelligence”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThis is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT In nature, groups of thousands of individuals cooperate to create complex structure purely […]
BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Multibreath Hyperpolarized Gas Imaging of Lung Ventilation and Gas Exchange in Humans for Diagnosis and Treatment Response Monitoring” (Hooman Hamedani)
Donner-Grice AuditoriumThe Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Rahim Rizi are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Hooman Hamedani. Title: Multibreath Hyperpolarized Gas Imaging of Lung […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Analysis and Control of Neural Network Dynamical Systems”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesIntegrating machine learning and control systems has achieved remarkable success in controlling complex dynamical systems such as autonomous vehicles. However, the resulting controlled system often has a neural network (NN) […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Enabling Ultra-Low Viscosity Lubricants Through Fundamental Understanding of ZDDPs Anti-Wear Additives and their Tribofilm Growth Mechanisms: An In-Situ Study”
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesLubricants with low viscosity have the potential to improve fuel efficiency in engines due to friction reduction. However, a reduction in viscosity increases the likelihood of wear. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), […]
MEAM Seminar: “Cell Packings and Tissue Flows in Developing Embryos”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesDuring embryonic development, groups of cells reorganize into functional tissues with complex form and structure. Tissue reorganization can be rapid and dramatic, often occurring through striking embryo-scale flows that are […]
ESE Fall Colloquium – “Using Information Geometry to Find Simple Models of Complex Processes”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesEffective theories play a fundamental role in how we reason about the world. Although real physical processes are very complicated, useful models abstract away the irrelevant degrees of freedom to […]
