Soft Matter Days: April 8-17, will feature invited guest speakers discussing a variety of interdisciplinary topics in soft matter and complex fluids. These topics sit at the interface of chemical & mechanical engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry, and biology. Guest speakers will discuss real-world phenomena found in food, blood flow, and granular materials. Two talks […]
The oral administration of peptides and proteins remains one of the great challenges in pharmaceutical science.
Development of an in vitro-in vivo correlation between lymph-cannulated animals and the primary transport assay developed herein might assist preclinical programs in translating lipid-based oral modalities to humans. Expansion of the organoid donor set (by species and small intestinal region), combinatorial probing of more lipid stimulation axes (by substrate chain length and saturation), and scaling of monolayer culture could refine the lymphatic assay into a high-throughput screen.
This talk will present our work using a chemical looping approach where solid particles of metal oxides are the sole source of oxygen to catalytic reactions. In particular, I will discuss the chemical looping epoxidation (CL-E) of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide (EO) and chemical looping oxidative dehydrogenation (CL-ODH) of ethanol to produce acetaldehyde.
This research highlights the critical role of the mechanical environment on GCX in vascular health, particularly in the context of atherosclerosis.

All Chemical Engineering students, both new and returning, undergraduate and graduate, are invited! Come enjoy some great food and get to know your professors and fellow students!
Sustainability in the Chemicals Sector: From Green Synthesis to Global Systems Location: 305 Shillman Hall Abstract: The chemicals sector is undergoing a transformation driven by decarbonization, shifting feedstocks, circularity, and increasing demand for low-carbon, non-toxic products. Globally, chemicals production is responsible for approximately 5% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, stemming from fuel combustion, process emissions, […]
Life in a tight spot: Spying on bacteria in complex spaces Location: Snell Engineering Center 168 Abstract: Bacteria are arguably the simplest form of life; and yet, as multi-cellular collectives, they perform complex functions critical to environment, food, health, and industry. What principles govern how complex behaviors emerge in bacterial collectives? And how can we […]
