Abstract: Polymers are ubiquitous in both synthetic and biological materials and underlie technologies as diverse as surfactants, adhesives, proteins and DNA. One of the defining features of all polymeric materials is that they are characterized by a wide range of length scales, often involving phenomena that span nanometers to microns. This hierarchy of length scales […]

Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss recent publications from my group that attempt at learning models of the world and the effect of the actions of an agent within that world self-supervised, solely via interaction. In particular, I will discuss the potential and challenges of video generative models as a candidate for such a […]
