Penn American Red Cross Blood Drive
Bodek Lounge, Houston Hall 3417 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThere is currently a critical need for blood donors, and members of the Penn Engineering community are invited to participate in a school-wide blood drive. To join in this effort, please RSVP using this link.
Nano Seminar: “Conductive Nitrides for Plasmonics in the Visible Region: Properties and Applications”
Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesPlasmonic nanostructure based on silver and gold that produces LSPR to withstand ultrahigh temperatures without damage remains a great challenge for future ultra-compact integrated circuits, and high-power enabled photonic devices. In principle, the shapes of plasmonic nanostructures containing noble metals would change after the heat treatment that altered the plasmonic resonance. Thus, discovering refractory plasmonic […]
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 StatesEHRS 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 […]
MEAM Seminar: “Viscoelastic Biopolymer Networks Model Fibrotic Niches”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesFibrosis and remodeling of extracellular matrix are involved in many diseases, such as tumors, wound healing, and chronic inflammation. During fibrosis, tissues undergo changes in their viscoelastic properties, i.e., how they resist deformation like a solid and dissipate stress over time like a fluid. Our research determines the impact of viscoelasticity on inflammation in fibrotic […]
MSE Seminar: “DumoLab Research: Regenerative Architecture with Biomaterials” Weitzman School of Design – University of Pennsylvania
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesDr. Mogas-Soldevila will give an overview on her DumoLab research at the Weitzman School of Design at Penn. Her works focuses on regenerative material practices bridging science, engineering, and the arts. DumoLab builds scholarship for materials design critique, and translates biomedical materials used in implants, drug delivery, and tissue scaffolding, into robust materials for use […]
BE Seminar: “Engineering the cell-matrix interface – understanding and guiding cell function” (Claudia Loebel, University of Michigan)
216 Moore BuildingThe native extracellular microenvironment dynamically remodels as cells synthesize, assemble, and remodel their surroundings during tissue development, injury, and repair. In my research group, we use engineered systems to both probe mechanisms of cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions (e.g., mechanobiology) and to guide cell function towards therapeutic behaviors (e.g., tissue repair/regeneration). In this seminar, I will […]
LSRM Presents The Robert Maddin Lecture in Materials Science: “Active & Adaptive Matter Driving Cell Dynamics”
Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesControl of shape and movement is essential for cell physiology, from cell migration to control of tissue shape. The mechanical behaviors of living cells are controlled by materials constructed by protein-based assemblies within the cell interior. These soft materials both regulate how forces generated by individual mechanoenzymes are transmitted to cell and tissue scales as […]
MSE David P. Pope Distinguished Lecture: “Light, Materials and Interfaces: The Complex Dance That Allows CLIP-based 3D Printing,” Stanford University
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract The production of polymer products relies largely on age-old molding techniques. A major reason for this is that additive methods have not delivered meaningful alternatives to traditional processes—until now. In this talk, I will describe Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology, which embodies a convergence of advances in software, hardware, and materials to bring […]
MSE Seminar: “Nanomaterials Enable Delivery of Genetic Material Without Transgene Integration in Mature Plants” University of California – Berkeley
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesGenetic engineering of plants is at the core of sustainability efforts, natural product synthesis, and agricultural crop engineering. The plant cell wall is a barrier that limits the ease and throughput with which exogenous biomolecules can be delivered to plants. Current delivery methods either suffer from host range limitations, low transformation efficiencies, tissue regenerability, tissue […]
