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 […]

ChE Seminar Series Presents:  Dr. Omolola (Lola) Eniola-Adefeso Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Abstract:  Vascular-targeted particle therapeutics offer the possibility of increased drug effectiveness while minimizing side effects often associated with systemic drug administration. Factors that influence the likelihood of targeted particle […]

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Marc T.M. Koper Leiden Institute of Chemistry Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands Abstract:  The electrocatalytic production of hydrogen through water splitting is a necessary approach for storing (excess) renewable electricity as chemical energy in fuels, and for making green hydrogen as a building block for the chemical industry. Here, I will […]

The College of Engineering is excited to host a Research Spotlight: Chemical Engineering event on May 16, 2023, at 10:00am ET.  We’d love to see you there. As a Research 1 university, Northeastern University students are exposed to some of the highest-quality research offerings in the United States. In this webinar, our Chemical Engineering faculty […]

This dissertation leverages molecular dynamics simulations to explore the properties of nanoscale materials and interfaces involving gases, liquids and solids, traversing the realms of environmental and biological science.

This thesis encompasses several nanotechnology approaches in formulating chemotherapy agents and their application across various cancers, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, lung, and prostate.

I will demonstrate how combining concepts learned from the last decade of plastic pollution research with established material selection practices resulted in a quantitative, multi-dimensional framework for use during product design to minimize the environmental impacts of plastic.

Join Chair and Professor Rebecca Willits of the Chemical Engineering Department as she provides updates and information about classes and the department of Chemical Engineering.

In this talk, I will introduce a series of optimal control technologies that contribute to smarter and more efficient systems, enhancing their sustainability.
