SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series Presents: Richard West
DESCRIPTION:Richard West\, Ph.D.\nAssociate Professor\nDepartment of Chemical Engineering\, Northeastern University\, Boston\, MA \n“Detailed Kinetic Modeling: using computers to predict complex systems of chemical reactions” \nAbstract: The primary focus of our research is the development of detailed microkinetic models for complex reacting systems\, like combustion\, heterogeneous catalysis\, and bio-fuel processing. Our approach is to automate the discovery of reaction pathways\, and the calculation of key parameters using ab initio quantum chemistry calculations\, and novel machine learning techniques. These kinetic models will link to multi-scale models of the reactor systems so that the overall process can be understood and optimized as a whole. This approach towards microkinetic model development will then contribute to the optimization and understanding of catalytic processes\, leading to catalyst design and discovery\, as well as combustion processes\, leading to safer and greener fire suppressants\, refrigerants\, and fuels. Our approach to computational chemistry involves both learning chemistry from the computers\, and teaching chemistry to the computers. Learn more at neu.edu/comocheng. \nBiography: Richard read Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge\, completing his BA and MEng degrees in 2004. He was in the first cohort to spend a year at MIT on the undergraduate exchange program of the Cambridge-MIT Institute. He returned to MIT for a semester of graduate classes at the start of his PhD\, also in Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge. His thesis work\, in the Computational Modelling Group of Prof. Markus Kraft\, was on modeling the chloride process for the gas-phase synthesis of titanium dioxide nano particles. He finished in 2008 and returned to MIT once more\, this time as a postdoctoral research associate working with Prof. William Green to develop detailed kinetic models and the tools used to create them. In 2011 he moved across the river to Boston\, starting the Computational Modeling in Chemical Engineering group at Northeastern University. In 2018 he became an Associate Professor (with tenure) and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in the Department of Chemical Engineering\, a position he held until his sabbatical began in 2020. He lives with his wife (also NU faculty) and 5-year-old daughter in Brookline\, MA. You can follow his weird toast diet on Instagram (@richardhwest). \nPlease email Alyssa Ramsey at a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the link to the seminar.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Roger Kamm
DESCRIPTION:Roger Kamm\, Ph.D. \nCecil and Ida Green Distinguished Professor of Biological and Mechanical Engineering\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge MA  \n“Metastasis on a chip: Effects of intravascular and transendothelial flow” \nABSTRACT:   \nMany CTCs fail to survive the voyage from the primary tumor to the metastatic site\, and die before they can initiate a new tumor.  Others not only survive\, but enter into the tissue where some fraction proliferate and spread.  We studied the effects of vascular flows\, both intravascular (IVF) and transendothelial (TEF) on tumor cell adhesion\, migration and transendothelial migration with the goal of better understanding how flow either promotes or impedes metastasis.  Our results show that CTCs migrate or are dragged in the direction of flow prior to trans-endothelial migration.  We also observe enhanced potential for TEM due to IVF.  TEF\, on the other hand\, has little effect on either migration of CTCs along the luminal surface of the endothelium or their propensity to undergo trans-endothelial migration\, but hastens the process once initiated.  TEF increased the migration speed of tumor cells post-extravasation\, and caused the cells to remain close to the outer endothelial surface. In summary\, both types of flow tend to promote a pro-metastatic phenotype. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nRoger Kamm is the Cecil and Ida Green Distinguished Professor of Biological and Mechanical Engineering at MIT\, where he has served on the faculty since 1978. Kamm has long been instrumental in developing research activities at the interface of biology and mechanics\, formerly in cell and molecular mechanics\, and now in engineered living systems.  Current interests are in developing models of healthy and diseased organ function using microfluidic technologies\, with a focus on vascularization.   \nPlease email Elizabeth Chesley at e.chesley@northeastern.edu for the seminar link.
