Doctoral Dissertation: “Implantable Micro-Tissue Engineered Nerve Grafts to Maintain Regenerative Capacity and Facilitate Functional Recovery Following Nervous System Injury” (Justin Burrell)
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. D. Kacy Cullen are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Justin Burrell. Title: Implantable Micro-Tissue Engineered Nerve Grafts to Maintain Regenerative Capacity and Facilitate Functional Recovery Following Nervous System Injury The public is welcome to attend virtually via Bluejeans.
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Structural and Mechanical Responses to Intermittent Parathyroid Hormone Treatment, Discontinuation, and Cyclic Administration Regimens”
Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.eduBone mineral density rapidly decreases upon withdrawal from intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment despite its potent effect of promoting bone formation. To better understand this adverse phenomenon, this study first aimed to investigate the phenotype of PTH withdrawal in both intact and estrogen-deficient rat model by using a well-designed experiment combined with innovative longitudinal imaging […]
CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Investigation of High-Surface-Area Titanate (ATiO3) Thin Films Prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition
Zoom - Email CBE for linkAbstract: "Heterogeneous catalysis is critically important in the chemical-processing and energy-related industries. Ideally, reaction sites on heterogeneous catalysts can be regenerated, and the catalysts should be active throughout the catalytic process. However, harsh reaction conditions and parallel side reactions can be harmful to the metal catalysts, making deactivation a common phenomenon. Finding a catalyst that […]
CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Study of Metal Catalysts Supported on Thin Films of Perovskites prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)
Zoom - Email CBE for linkAbstract: Sintering is a severe problem with supported-metal catalysts in high-temperature applications, such as in automotive-emissions control, because it leads to a loss of catalytically active surface area. To stabilize the metal particles, in 2001, the Daihatsu group proposed using perovskite-supported metals, which they referred to as “intelligent” catalysts. The original goal was to regenerate […]
Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Multiscale Modeling of Cell Fate Switching to Predict Patient-specific Responses to Combination Cancer Therapy” (Lindsey Fernandez)
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Ravi Radhakrishnan are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Lindsey Fernandez. The public is welcome to attend via Blujeans (Meeting ID 680 058 608 4). Title: "Multiscale Modeling of Cell Fate Switching to Predict Patient-specific Response to Combination Cancer Therapy"
BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessment of Maternal Uteroplacental Hemodynamics During Pregnancy” (Eileen Hwuang)
The Department of Bioengineering along with Drs. Walter Witschey and John Detre are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Eileen Hwuang. The public is welcome to attend via Zoom.

CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Exploring the Molecular Origins of Icephilicity Using Specialized Molecular Simulations
Zoom - Email CBE for linkAbstract: Exercising control over the formation of ice and similar crystalline structures is important in a variety of contexts, from preserving organs for transplant to preventing clathrate hydrate plugs in natural gas pipelines. To achieve this control, it is crucial to understand nucleation phenomena at the molecular level. Studies have shown that heterogeneous nucleation proceeds […]
ESE PhD Dissertation Defense: “Enhanced Nonlinearity Enabled via Doped ENZ Metastructures: Theory & Potential Applications”
Zoom - Email nahvi@seas.upenn.edu for linkSynthetic composite structures, known as metamaterials, have been increasingly applied in the past two decades in numerous applications for obtaining electromagnetic characteristics far beyond naturally occurring materials. In particular, epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media are a special category of metamaterials which have been shown to exhibit exotic wave-matter interaction properties, rendering them suitable for numerous applications. Exploiting […]
