MEMS Seminar: Wilbur Lam, “Engineering microsystems to investigate the cellular mechanics of blood in health and disease”

Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Spring 2025 Seminar Series, welcomes Wilbur Lam, Professor at Emory University, who will give the talk, "Engineering microsystems to investigate the cellular mechanics of blood in health and disease." ABSTRACT: Hematologic processes are frequently comprised of cellular and biomolecular interactions that are biophysical in nature and […]

Multi-Scale Biomechanics of Blood Flow for Vascular Development, Repair, and Rejuvenation

Teer 106

Abstract: During cardiovascular development, peristaltic contraction of the embryonic heart tube produces time-varying hemodynamic forces and pressure gradients across the atrioventricular canal. However, the relative importance of myocardial contraction and hemodynamic force to modulate cardiovascular morphogenesis in the non-Newtonian flow regime remains poorly understood. By developing the 4-D light-sheet fluorescent microscope and post-imaging machine-learning algorithms, […]

DMI Seminar Presented by Arrelaine Dameron

Teer 203

TITLE: Manufacturing-Scale Atomic Layer Deposition for Batteries... and Other Applications Historically Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been regarded as a lab-only process, disregarded as too expensive and an unrealistic process for commercial adoption outside of semiconductor manufacturing. However, several methods for high volume manufacturing have been developed over the last decade, making ALD on powders […]

DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof Mariana Rossi

Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

TITLE: The quantum properties of molecular interfaces Abstract: Weakly bonded interfaces composed by molecular and solid-state inorganic materials give rise to a rich variety of nuclear motion and tunable nuclear structure that is tightly connected to diverse electronic properties in these systems. In my talk, I will discuss how we push the limits of density-functional […]
