CBE Seminar: “A Case for Carbon Dioxide Removal from Air”
Abstract: As a global society, we have been burning fossil fuels to meet our energy and transportation needs since the start of the industrial revolution. This has resulted in atmospheric […]
Britton Chance Distinguished Lecture: “Regenerative Immunology: The Role of Technology Translation in Guiding Discovery”
Abstract: Biomaterial implants have a long history in the clinic, but regenerative biomaterials and regenerative medicine therapies, in general, have been slow to reach patients. Clinical translation provides a unique […]
CBE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Understanding and Controlling the Complexity of Catalytic Active Sites”
Abstract: Heterogeneous catalysis is of central importance to the global economy today, facilitating the conversion of raw materials into valuable fuels and chemicals, and the abatement of chemical pollutants in […]
CBE Seminar: “Collaboration and Competition Between Active Sheets for Self-Propelled Particles”
Abstract: Biological species routinely collaborate for their mutual benefit or compete for available resources, thereby displaying dynamic behavior that is challenging to replicate in synthetic systems. Here, we use computational […]

MEAM Seminar: “Origami Micro, Bio, and Nanosystems “
Due to the inherent planarity of conventional micro and nanofabrication, it is challenging to pattern and assemble micro, bio, and nano-materials and devices in all three dimensions. Origami inspired mechanical […]
CBE Seminar: “Evolution of the Conformational-free Energy Landscapes of Proteins”
Abstract: One of the holy grails of drug-design is to obtain high-selectivity binding of a drug to the target protein, an extremely challenging endeavor for proteins that share high sequence […]
CBE Seminar: “Soft, Wet, and Sticky: Viscous Forces and Elasticity in Wet Adhesion”
Abstract: Understanding and harnessing the coupling between lubrication pressure, elasticity, and surface interactions provides materials design strategies for applications such as adhesives, coatings, microsensors, and biomaterials. This presentation will discuss our […]
CBE Seminar: “Tailoring Processes and Assembly of Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Storage”
Abstract: Despite their promise to mitigate many problems and offer new opportunities in energy storage systems, nanomaterials have proven to be difficult to tailor and preserve their assembly throughout manufacturing […]
