You are invited to join us for the second part of a program addressing nuclear power and related technologies. Following in the steps of the previous presentation from April 2017, which focused on nuclear power fundamentals, this part focuses on the technology of nuclear power generation and...Read more
Jordan Miller's expertise in biomaterials and regenerative medicine combines synthetic chemistry, three-dimensional (3D) printing, microfabrication, and molecular imaging to direct cultured human cells to form more complex organizations of living vessels and tissues.
Advances in his lab are being made through 3D-printed scaffolds and structures for diverse biomaterial applications that cross molecular, micro- and meso-length scales. Miller’s engineered microenvironments are used to decouple complex relationships between tissue architecture and cell function, to engineer...Read more
Brendan Harley is currently a Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a research theme leader in the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Harley develops biomaterials that replicate the dynamic, spatially-patterned, and heterogeneous microenvironment found in the tissues and organs of our body. He and members of his lab use this approach to generate new insight regarding how biomaterial cues can instruct cell responses in the context of development, disease, and regeneration. Harley co-authored the book ‘Cellular...Read more
Want to keep up with what other chemical and biological engineers are discussing, or keep up on what other students are talking about? Join in the conversation at AIChE's Engage.
The automation of chemical synthesis dates back to at least the 1960's, and is seeing rapid development today. Advances in machine learning point to a future where functional chemicals could be...
Tim Cernak studied organic synthesis at University of British Columbia Okanagan (BSc 2002), McGill University (PhD 2007), and Columbia University (Postdoc 2007–2009) before starting a career in the pharmaceutical industry at Merck Research Labs.
Following 9 years at Merck's Rahway and Boston sites exploring chemistry informatics and automation, Tim Cernak joined academia as an Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Michigan. The Cernak Lab is exploring an interface of data science and chemical synthesis, with an interest in applying hardware and software...Read more
