Abstract: This thesis addresses the fundamental questions surrounding the design and functional capabilities of enzyme-powered micromotors synthesized using microfluidic techniques. The research focuses on the development of these motors, made from artificial cell (protocell) scaffolds, and which seek to replicate the motion behavior of biological cells, investigating their propulsion mechanisms, motion directionality, and collective behavior.

Abstract DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) play critical roles in biology and biotechnology, and there has been considerable interest in the engineering of DBPs with new functions or altered specificities. While there has been success in reprogramming and the specificity of naturally occurring DBPs using selection methods, the computational design of new DBPs that engage with DNA […] |

Abstract: Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are critical for managing anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Great strides have been made in electrification so far, but there are a handful of scenarios that still require hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals, such as aviation, long-haul trucking, and marine shipping. On the one hand, atmospheric CO2 is only […] |

It’s hard to write an abstract. It’s harder to write a glamorous one that tells your story without overselling your results. Community for Rigor is here to help! Join Professor Konrad Kording for a rigorous abstract writing workshop on March 20th, 2024. Together, let’s lovingly glam up abstracts from the Community and make the most of 100 […] |

Fluid flows and mass transport mediate countless natural and engineered processes, ranging from the spreading of pollutants to carbon capture and water cleaning. In this talk, I will share three examples of my research where fundamental ideas in transport phenomena are applied to inform technologies with direct impact on energy and the environment. First, I […] |

Abstract: Soft jammed materials are disordered viscoelastic solids, composed of densely packed particles, that are commonly found both in the natural world and in a wide range of manufactured products. Their applications are widespread across various industries and technologies, including food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and cosmetics. Understanding the fundamental physics and mathematics behind their highly complex […] |

Abstract Supported noble metal catalysts are extensively used in industry and their catalytic performance is strongly affected by particle size and shape. In the last decade, supported single atoms and subnanometer clusters have attracted a lot of interest since they maximize the metal utilization and have shown extraordinary catalytic properties for many reactions. In this […] |
