ChE Seminar Series Presents: Petia M. Vlahovska, PhD Professor of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (by courtesy) Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern University Title: Active colloidal fluids: a new paradigm in self-assembly Abstract: Flocks of birds and schools of fish are familiar examples of emergent collective behavior, where interactions between self-propelled (active) individuals lead to coherent motion […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. John A. White, Ph.D Professor and Chair of Biomedical Engineering, Boston University Engineering Approaches to Understand Functional Connectivity in Neocortex Abstract The mammalian neocortex is a crowning achievement of evolution. It is astronomically complex, with around 100 billion computational elements, each of which is staggeringly intricate by itself, and on […]
