MEAM Seminar: “The Multiphysics Stochastic Brain”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Fuelled in particular by current medical challenges in Traumatic Brain Injury, the field of brain mechanics has progressed tremendously in the last decade. Simulations that required months in development and runtime can now be created from patient specific medical images, meshed and run in a fraction of that time. However, and paradoxically, not only do […]

CBE Seminar: “Engineering Electrochemical Reactions for Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing” (Modestino, NYU)

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The chemical industry produces more than 70,000 products (1.2 billion tons in total) via thermal processes powered by fossil fuel combustion, accounting for ~5% of the US energy utilization and >30% of the US energy-derived industrial CO2 emissions. Amongst these processes, the production of organic chemical commodities accounts for most of the energy utilization (>1200 […]

MSE Seminar: Working Safely in the Lab: Navigating Common Laboratory Hazards in MSE Research

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

EHRS Sr. Lab Safety Specialist Gwenn Allen will discuss how to work safely in the lab while navigating the changing landscape of materials science and engineering research.  Her talk will cover common laboratory hazards, routes of exposure, PPE requirements, and biological safety. She will also present an overview of the University’s recent transition to Workday […]

BE Seminar: “Engineering the immune response at the molecular level” (Jamie Spangler, Johns Hopkins U.)

216 Moore Building

The repertoire of naturally occurring proteins is finite and many molecules induce multiple confounding effects, limiting their efficacy as therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in redesigning existing proteins or engineering entirely new proteins to address the deficiencies of molecules found in nature. Researchers have traditionally taken an unbiased approach to protein engineering, […]
