ChE Seminar Series Presents: Nora M. Dempsey Univ. Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, Institut NEEL, 38000 Grenoble, France Abstract: Magnetic flux sources are used to manipulate biological entities (cells, embryos, DNA, proteins…). The magnetic field gradients produced by a flux source scales up as its size is decreased, resulting in increased force per unit volume. […]
The New England Complex Fluids Workshop encourages collaboration among researchers from industry and academia studying soft condensed matter, broadly speaking, with applications extending to biomedical sciences and industry. Workshops consist of invited talks and several sessions of contributed "sound-bites" which are approximately three minutes long, in which students and postdocs are invited to introduce their […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Mark S. Chen Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, Lehigh University Abstract: Open-shell molecules possess unpaired electron density (radical character), which makes them intriguing candidate materials for many optoelectronic applications. Air-stable structures have been reported, but most require lengthy synthetic sequences with limited generality. Our lab has developed a concise strategy […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Rachel A. Segalman, PhD. Department Chair, Chemical Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara Abstract: Progress toward durable, high-energy density lithium-ion batteries has been hindered by instabilities at electrolyte-electrode interfaces leading to poor cycling stability, and by safety concerns associated with energy-dense lithium metal anodes. Solid polymeric electrolytes (SPEs) can help mitigate […]
Chemical Engineering is hosting its annual Department Award Ceremony in Blackman Auditorium on Friday, April 29, 2022, 5:00-6:30 pm.
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Fanglin Che, Assistant Professor Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell Abstract: The usability and costly storage issues of renewable electricity from solar or wind energy become major challenges on a global scale due to the daily and seasonal variability of sunlight or wind and the geographic inequality of […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Umit Ozkan, Chair & University Distinguished Professor Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Ohio State University Abstract: Groundwater contamination by halogenated compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) is an environmental concern due to their high level of toxicity and their potential impact on drinking water. Hydrogenation of chlorinated compounds offers an efficient […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Milo Korestky McDonnell Family Bridge Professor Co-Director, Institute for Learning on Research and Instruction (IRLI) Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Department of Education Tufts University Abstract: There has been considerable emphasis recently in transitioning chemical engineering classroom instruction from transmission-based lectures to active learning. Active learning has been defined broadly […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Howard W.T. Matthew, PhD Professor, Chemical Engineering, Wayne State University Abstract: Polysaccharides have long been recognized as polymeric materials with an array of properties that have made them indispensable for applications ranging from adhesives to property-enhancing nanomaterials. As a result, they have found wide acceptance as food and drug additives. Over […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Alison McGuigan, PhD Professor, Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto Abstract: Ex vivo culture models provide powerful tools to interrogate the role of tumour heterogeneity in human cancers. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are emerging as powerful models to capture the genetic heterogeneity of human tumors. However, extrinsic factors present in the tumor microenvironment […]
