CEE Seminar – Concrete and the Environment

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

It is widely known today that portland cement concrete is the most commonly used manufactured material. It is also well-known that portland cement production contributes approximately 8 to 10 percent of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, what is often overlooked in such statements is the fact that portland cement concrete-based materials constitute about 50% of […]

Career Coach Drop-In Hours for Engineering Master’s Students

Online

All engineering Master's students are invited to use this weekday service to have an individual conversation with a career coach about any topic. No appointment is needed and the conversation length will vary based on the number of students waiting. Also, check out the CSPD website. There's lots to help you if office hours aren't […]

DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Markus J. Buehler

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

Abstract: For centuries, researchers have sought out ways to connect disparate areas of knowledge. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we can now rigorously explore relationships that span across distinct areas - such as, mechanics and biology, or science and art - to deepen our understanding, to accelerate innovation, and to drive scientific discovery. […]

Quantum Process Learning and Variational Quantum Computing

Virtual

Parameterized quantum circuits serve as ansätze for solving variational problems and provide a flexible paradigm for programming near-term quantum computers. Here we discuss three fundamental criteria for this paradigm to be effective: expressibility, trainability and generalisability. We will introduce these concepts and present recent analytic progress quantifying to what extent these criteria can be achieved. […]

Multimodal Characterization of Cell States at Single-Cell Resolution

French Family Science Center 4233

Advent of single-cell genomics has enhanced our ability to study heterogeneous cell populations (1) to track course of temporal processes, such as cellular differentiation, (2) to identify novel and rare cell states, and (3) characterize the heterogeneity of complex tissues, such as tumors. In this talk, I will present three methods to study such cell […]

Similarities and discrepancies between carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling genes and model predictions in the Chesapeake Bay

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

As the volume of hypoxic waters grows around the globe, numerical models are increasingly used to understand the drivers of hypoxia and guide decisions that will mitigate its impacts. Such models represent microbial processes, such as photosynthesis and decomposition, which actively cycle nutrients and particulate material that influence hypoxia. Although microorganisms are critical to such […]
