Gregory Hudalla, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Integra LifeSciences Term Professor & Graduate Coordinator, J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering University of Florida Dr. Hudalla’s research creates functional biomaterials for therapeutic or diagnostic applications via molecular self-assembly. The Hudalla laboratory develops synthetic peptides that can assemble into a desired nano-scale architecture and then uses these […]

Abstract: Microplastics are pervasive in the environment, and human exposure occurring through various routes such as inhalation and ingestion. With growing concerns about the potential harmful effects of microplastics on human body, significant public attention has been drawn to this issue, leading many agencies to report their presence in the environment. In my talk, I […]

Abstract Uranium isotope enrichment plays a critical role in the modern nuclear fuel cycle and weapons production. Uranium enrichment can be achieved through several methods (e.g., gas diffusion, gas centrifuge, and laser separation), all of which utilize uranium hexafluoride (UF6) as the primary material feedstock. Despite its ubiquitous use, the chemistry governing common chemical reactions […]
