Penn researchers have developed a universal algorithm that allows 2D materials to retain mechanical strength after conversion into 3D structures. The team’s work takes inspiration from kirigami, an ...

Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

Robotic-guided system Researchers at Zeta Surgical are working to make transcranial focused ultrasound treatment safer and more successful. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/Bioengineering ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...

Categorizing patients with cancer by their disease stage can be an important tool when conducting administrative claims-based studies. As claims databases frequently do not capture this information, ...

If you've eaten vegan burgers that taste like meat or used synthetic collagen in your beauty routine - both products that are "grown" in the lab - then you've benefited from synthetic biology. It's a ...
