Michelle Laplaca, Ph.D., Professor, Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Tech and Emory University Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. and in the world. TBI is highly heterogeneous, rendering diagnosis and treatment extremely challenging across all injury severities, but in mild TBI (mTBI) the problem is […]

Solar-thermal Energy Harnessing and Management for Water-energy-climate Nexus Thursday, March 2, 2023, at 12:50 pm Location: In-Person MAE-A, Room 303 Jian Zeng, PhD Postdoctoral Researcher in the Energy Technologies Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California Berkeley Abstract About 90% of today’s energy flow centers around […]

Sharmin Siddiqui, PhD candidate, Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences, UF Abstract: Amazon floodplain ecosystems are attuned to forest-climate interactions, which have governed species composition, ecological life cycles, and the timing and distribution of carbon, water, and energy cycling for millennia. The intensifying intrusion of wildfire into this flood-adapted ecosystem raises questions about future floodplain forest […]

Geneva Laurita, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Chemistry and Biochemistry Bates College Dr. Geneva Laurita completed her B.S. in Chemistry at the University of Northern Colorado in 2010, her Ph.D. in Chemistry at Oregon State University in 2014, and postdoctoral research at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2017. She is currently an Assistant Professor of […]

Sanat K. Kumar, Ph.D. Bykhovsky Professor of Chemical Engineering Columbia University Title: Plastics Recycling/Upcycling Abstract: Polymer waste in the environment is a central concern to humanity. Currently, only ~10% of all plastics produced from hydrocarbon feedstocks are recycled, while 30% are dumped into the environment, 40% land filled and 14% are burned (into CO2 another […]

Katherine R. Saul, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, North Carolina State University Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) is the most common nerve injury among children. The glenohumeral joint of affected children can undergo severe bone deformity and muscle contracture, depending on location of the injury relative to the dorsal root ganglion. Because […]

With the advent of ubiquitous technologies and the emergence of modern traffic sensors, one of the primary strategies of transportation agencies for maintaining the safety, mobility, and efficiency of a transportation system is to use Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies and innovative data-driven strategies. An efficient transportation system should keep a balance between mobility on […]
