MEAM

Please join us on Tuesday, September 13 for a series of short research talks by MEAM faculty.  Five MEAM faculty will give "flash talks" to introduce their research activities and recent work.  This is an excellent opportunity for current graduate students to learn about ongoing research in the Department.

Effective control of epidemics, individualized medicine, and new drugs with virologic response-dependent dose and timing require, among other things, simple, inexpensive, multiplexed molecular detection platforms suitable for point of care and for home use. Conventional molecular detection methods such as PCR tests, require bulky and expensive equipment, trained personnel, and specialized laboratories, limiting their use […]

The study of the early universe requires deep high-resolution maps of the sky at millimeter and submillimeter. This requires the development of state-of-the-art cryogenic receivers and custom built telescopes. These instruments operate in extreme locations including from NASA launched high-altitude balloons over Antarctica and high (5,200m/17,000ft) mountain tops in Northern Chile adding a level of […]

Nanolattices exhibit attractive mechanical, energy conversion, and optical properties, but it is challenging to fabricate nanolattices in large scale while maintaining the dense hierarchical nanometer features that enable their properties. Current advanced fabrication methods, like 3D printing or self-assembly, are significantly limited by their scalability or the cracking problem in the assembled templates. This work […]
