Title: "Recent Progress on Batteries (Mainly Li and Na)" Abstract: Clean energy, electric vehicles (EVs), and electric energy storage (ESS) are becoming increasingly common topics of discussion worldwide, alongside technologies like cell phones and notebook PCs. At the heart of these advancements are batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries, which play a critical and essential role. In […]
Duke Seminars in Neural Engineering presents Erika Ross Ellison from Onward Medical. Hosted by Nikki Pelot.
Event Abstract: Advancements in single-cell multiplexed imaging coupled with sophisticated computational algorithms have greatly augmented our views into complex tissue microenvironments. In this seminar, I will present the approaches we have developed to deconstruct intricate tissue datasets and connect them across scales from molecular to multicell modules. Particularly, I will share a story how we […]
Darrell Irvine, Ph.D., is a Professor at the Scripps Research Institute, where he recently relocated after 20 years as a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. His research is focused on the application of engineering tools to problems in cellular immunology and […]
Language is embedded across medicine, from clinical notes to medical literature to patient communication. Natural language processing, and particularly large language models, can help us to reimagine how we process and communicate this clinical text, which could have transformative effects for the practice of medicine. This talk will discuss open challenges, opportunities and solutions for […]
Duke Seminars in Neural Engineering Presents "Advancement and Translation of Sensory Neuroprosthetics" with Loren Rieth of West Virginia University. Hosted by Warren Grill.
All BME students, staff, and faculty are invited to swing by for a popsicle! Thurs, Sept 18 4-5pm Harrington Quad (rain location: Fitzpatrick Atrium)
Human interactions with the environment and with others generate mechano-acoustic (MA) signals that encode rich information about physiological and biomechanical processes. Although these signals often attenuate at the skin-air interface, epidermal electronics provide a powerful means to capture them, offering a transformative approach for non-invasive, real-time health monitoring. We present a soft, skin-mounted MA sensing […]
Title: Nanomechanical DNA devices to program collective dynamics and interrogate biomolecules Abstract: Structural DNA nanotechnology is an emerging field with exciting potential for applications such as single molecule sensing, drug delivery, imaging, and biophysical measurements. DNA nanodevices are particularly well-suited to interface with and manipulate biomolecules in vitro and in vivo because of the ability […]
Title: Engineering Wellness: A Longitudinal Study of Undergraduate Student Mental Health in Engineering Abstract: Higher education is facing a mental health crisis that continues to intensify, underscoring the urgent need to increase our understanding of student mental health to develop proactive supports. In this seminar, I will investigate the narrative of required stress and hardship […]
