CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Quantitative Analysis on Enhancer-Mediated Dynamic Gene Regulations in Drosophila Embryos” (Hao Dennis Deng)

Room 313, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Proper organism development relies on precise gene regulation, where genes are expressed at specific times, locations, and quantities. Non-coding DNA sequences called enhancers play a crucial role in this process by interacting with their target promoters to initiate transcription and regulate gene expression. While the mechanisms of enhancer-mediated gene control have been extensively studied, […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Investigation of Thin-film Cerium-based Oxides and Single Atom Catalysts Prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition” (Kai Shen)

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Metal oxides play a critical role in heterogeneous catalysis, acting as active catalysts in a wide range of reactions from dehydrogenation to selective and complete oxidation. However, many catalytically active metal oxides suffer from low surface areas in their bulk form, particularly after high-temperature calcination. This thesis focuses on cerium-based oxides due to their […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Scaling Mineral Carbonation and Critical Mineral Recovery in Mining Waste: Process Engineering, Techno-Economics, and Public Policy” (Katherine Vaz Gomes)

Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: The growing need to secure critical minerals for clean energy technologies, alongside the urgency to mitigate climate change, presents a unique opportunity to combine mineral recovery with carbon sequestration. This dissertation explores the potential of mine tailings as a dual-purpose feedstock, enabling both the extraction of critical minerals and the storage of CO₂ through […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Utilization of Atomic Layer Deposition for Heterogeneous Catalysis in Biomass Upgrading Applications” (Mengjie Fan)

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: The need for sustainable energy sources has intensified interest in biomass upgrading, where biomass-derived feedstocks are transformed into fuels and valuable chemicals. A major challenge in biomass upgrading is the development of highly active, selective, and stable catalysts for complex reactions. Traditional synthesis methods often result in heterogeneous catalysts with poor dispersion of active […]
