Seminar Abstract: Much of my work considers microbes as part of a host’s extended phenotype, or a trait of the host. The questions that I ask focus on the implications of variation of traits (including microbes) for organisms, populations and communities. Much of my work is focused on tropical corals and coral reefs. Corals show […]

Abstract In this talk, we explore applications of nanoporous materials. We begin with fast-charging energy-storage systems known as pseudocapacitors. In optimized materials, nanoscale porosity can produce a very desirable combination of electrical connectivity, electrolyte access to the interior of the material, and short solid-state ion diffusion lengths, all of which facilitate fast charge and discharge. […]

Join us for the Engineering Education Seminar

The Early Career Stage Investigator Workshop is back!  The program will provide a “deep dive” into the NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) as well as an overview of other early career opportunities. This workshop also initiates the departmentally-led red team review process for NSF CAREER proposals (which are due in late July).   Those interested should register here. Three sessions will be offered, sign up for any combination of sessions […]

“An Industrial Perspective on Lab Safety” ExxonMobil has had a long relationship with the University of Florida as a member of PALS (Partners in Academic Laboratory Safety). The goal of this seminar is to discuss the intent of PALS and to create an open dialogue about safety culture. As someone who graduated from the University […]

Title: Space-Filling Designs Zoom attendees please use the following link: https://ufl.zoom.us/s/94548030552 Abstract: Space-filling designs are a set of points that can be used to fill a given space. Popular space-filling designs include minimax, maximin, uniform, Latin hypercube designs, and combinations of them. In this talk, I will present some advancements of space-filling designs such as […]
