Jared Auclair Ph.D. Associate Dean of Professional Program and Graduate Affairs, College of Science, Northeastern University    “Northeastern's COVID19 Testing Response in 2020 through Today” Behrakis 010    ABSTRACT:   In March of 2020, Northeastern made the announcement to go to full online teaching modalities in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.  A few short weeks later, Northeastern sent all students home and closed the campus.  Almost immediately after the closing of the University a reopening committee went to work to…

Rebecca Heise, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond VA "Breaking Barriers: Evaluating the Alveolar-Capilary Barrier in Lung Injury and Repair" Wednesday, October 27th, 2021 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST Behrakis 010 ABSTRACT: Lung injuries such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury, or ventilator-associated lung injury cause disruption in the alveolar-capillary barrier leading to edema and lack of gas exchange. The mechanical environment in the lung plays an important…

Glenn Gaudette, Ph.D. John W. Kozarich ’71 Chair of the Department of Engineering, Boston College, Newton MA "Crossing Kingdoms to Develop New Platforms for Tissue Engineering" Wednesday, November 10th, 2021 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST Behrakis 010 ABSTRACT: Development of biomaterials for tissue engineering is challenged by the incorporation of a vascular network, which is necessary to deliver oxygen, nutrients, and essential molecules required for cells to survive. Like humans, plants have vascular networks. Removing plant cells from spinach…

Our group focuses on the design and synthesis of new organic semiconductors based on low-cost and/or easily prepared starting materials.

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.
