Realizing emergent properties in functional composite from directed assembly at the micro-scale Location: 108 Snell Engineering Center Abstract: This talk will describe fundamental studies and practical applications of biological colloids in the context of human disease. The talk will begin with endogeneous colloids and how they contribute to disease pathogenesis, including the important roles that […]
Realizing emergent properties in functional composite from directed assembly at the micro-scale Location: 108 Snell Engineering Center Abstract: In this talk, I will present my lab's recent work on directing the assembly of nano- and micron- scale colloidal ceramic particles within composite materials. Through our approach, we are able to tailor the internal microstructure of […]
Molecular simulation of interfacial systems: From mechanical properties of liposomes to crystal nucleation in the bulk, near surfaces and in confinement Location: 108 Snell Engineering Center Abstract: I will give an overview of our recent molecular simulation studies of several interfacial systems of interest. In the first part of my talk, I will describe our […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Yvon Woappi, Ph.D. K99/R00 MOSAIC Fellow at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital Abstract Large scale tissue damage, such as organ failure and burn injury, is a leading cause of morbidity and death. However, the mechanisms underlying full regeneration of organs remain poorly understood. As the largest organ system in […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Nancy Lasson, DO, FACP, DipACLM Primary care provider and medical director of the primary care group at the Women’s Medicine Collaborative of LifeSpan Physician Group in Providence, Rhode Island Abstract: Anxiety can be managed by understanding reward-based learning and using mindfulness to interrupt unwanted behavior. Habits form to promote survival. […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Daniel Burkey Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Diversity, Professor-in-Residence in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and a University Teaching Fellow at University of Connecticut Abstract: Game-based educational techniques can be an interesting and novel approach to active learning in engineering courses. Because games often exist within their own rule sets, […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Allison Dennis Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering Boston University Abstract: Although the unique optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanoparticle quantum dots (QDs) enable a variety of commercial products including display technology, solid state lighting, and photovoltaics, different design criteria need to be considered to use these nanoparticles […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. David L. Green Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering Departments University of Virginia Abstract: The goal is to gain fundamental insights into the factors that dictate the synthesis of monolayer-protected nanoparticles and translate them into rational design strategies for novel functional soft materials. He is interested in monolayer self-assembly, […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Carlos A. Silvera Batista Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Vanderbilt University Engineering directed Transport and Collective Dynamics of Charged Colloids under Electric Fields Abstract: Gradients in electrical potential (electric fields), along with gradients in concentration of ionic species, are a principal way to control the motion of colloids. The […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. A.-H. Alissa Park, Ph.D Lenfest Earth Institute Professor of Climate Change Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering & Department of Chemical Engineering Director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy, Columbia University Towards Sustainable Energy and Materials: Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Abstract: In order to meet the ever-increasing global […]
