Leveraging the Natural Cellular and Biomolecular Interactions in Blood for the Design of Targeted, Anti-Inflammatory Particle Therapeutics

236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

ChE Seminar Series Presents:  Dr. Omolola (Lola) Eniola-Adefeso Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Abstract:  Vascular-targeted particle therapeutics offer the possibility of increased drug effectiveness while minimizing side effects often associated with systemic drug administration. Factors that influence the likelihood of targeted particle […]

Engineering Elastin-like Peptides to Control Solid Surface Properties: A Biomaterials Research Platform and Education Tool

236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Julie N. Renner Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University Abstract: Key biomaterials applications (e.g., bioelectronics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering) rely on control of solid surface properties for success. Surface-bound peptide monolayers are a promising way to control surface properties because peptides are biocompatible, easily tunable, […]

How green hydrogen is made

236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Marc T.M. Koper Leiden Institute of Chemistry Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands Abstract:  The electrocatalytic production of hydrogen through water splitting is a necessary approach for storing (excess) renewable electricity as chemical energy in fuels, and for making green hydrogen as a building block for the chemical industry. Here, I will […]

Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Kevin Van Geem

010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

Due to our increasing awareness of the impact of climate change on our society, unit operations in our manufacturing processes, including those in chemical industry, have to be greenified and made less dependent of fossil resources.

Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Burcu Gurkan

010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

This presentation will highlight the impact of solvation, ionic interactions, surface adsorption, and hydrogen bonding and transfer on interfacial structure, redox reactions, and catalytic mechanisms in particular for CO2 electroreduction.

Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Haotian Wang

010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

In this talk, using CO2 reduction to gas and liquid products and O2 reduction to hydrogen peroxide as representative reactions, I will introduce the rational design of both catalytic materials and reactors towards practical electrochemical manufacturing of fuels and chemicals.
