  • CEE Seminar -Engineering Sustainable Approaches to Water Treatment and Critical Mineral Recovery

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    In this seminar, Dr. Mishrra will describe how integrating concepts from environmental geochemistry, materials science, and water quality engineering is essential for addressing urgent challenges in drinking water supply and distribution and in sustainable resource management. Her talk will highlight contaminants such as lead, copper, and hexavalent chromium in drinking water sources, and will discuss […]

  • CEE Seminar – Advances in environmental monitoring and risk assessment to reduce exposures to enteric pathogens

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    Globally, a large fraction of the disease burden is attributed to environmental contaminants, particularly enteric pathogens, which are transmitted via multiple pathways, including water, food, soil, and fomites. Further, microbial contaminants are garnering more public health attention at the global scale due to the emergence antimicrobial resistance. Prioritization of strategies to interrupt the transmission of […]

  • CEE Seminar – Assessing Releases from Solid Materials: From Stress to Exposure

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    Regulatory frameworks for chemicals, materials, and advanced products increasingly require quantitative exposure data as a core component of safety dossiers. For solid materials, however, exposure assessment remains challenging because releases are not static properties but emerge dynamically over a material's life cycle, driven by mechanical, environmental, thermal, and use-related stresses. Without robust methods to identify […]

  • CEE Seminar – How occult precipitation influences land surface processes across scales

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    Light rainfall, fog, and dew deposition (i.e., occult precipitation) have been shown to play a key role in ecosystem processes and resilience to extremes such as drought and wildfire. Occult precipitation describes hydrologic processes that provide water input to ecosystems but are typically not measured by rain gauges. Thus, the amount of additional water that […]

  • DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Khalid Salaita

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Abstract: Cells are highly dynamic structures that are constantly converting chemical energy into mechanical work to pull and push on one another and on their surroundings. These pulls and pushes are mediated by tiny molecular forces at the scale of piconewtons. For context, 7 pN applied a distance of 1 nm is ~1 kcal/mol. Nonetheless, […]

  • CEE Seminar – From Cavity Expansion to Clinical Diagnosis

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    The mechanical properties of biological tissues change over time and with disease progression. Quantifying these mechanical properties can thus be instrumental for medical diagnosis and for evaluation of tissue viability for transplant. However, it is exceptionally challenging to mechanically characterize soft and biological materials using conventional testing methods, especially in-vivo. In recent years, volume controlled […]
