Abstract Gels are key materials in biological systems such as tissues and may control biocondensate formation and structure. To further understand the effects of elastic environments on biomacromolecular assembly, we have investigated phase behavior and radii of coacervate droplets in polyacrylamide (PAM) networks as a function of the gel modulus. Poly-L-lysine (PLL) and sodium hyaluronate […]

Title: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES AND MICROSCOPIC DIFFUSION OF MOLECULES IN MEMBRANES AND POROUS SOLIDS BY HIGH FIELD NMR Abstract: Molecular diffusion plays a key role in a larger range of chemical engineering applications, including separations, catalysis, as well as development of sensors and supports intended for controlled release or capture of liquid or gas […]

Fall 2023 Ohanian Lecture Series Abstract  Machine-learning algorithms are now used to automate routine tasks and to guide high-stakes decisions. But, if not carefully designed, they can exacerbate inequities. Dr. Goel will start his lecture by showing that several popular automated speech recognition tools exhibit substantial racial disparities, likely due to a lack of diversity […]

Abstract This will not be a normal seminar but an opportunity for a dialog between graduate students and the NE graduate coordinator, representing the department, with the objective of making sure that students have needed resources, that educational needs are being met, and that we continue to strengthen the climate and inclusive excellence of the […]
