MEAM Seminar: “’Smart’ Biodegradable Polymer at Nano and Micro Scales for Medical Applications”
The ability to transform medical polymers, commonly used for resorbable surgical sutures, into desired 3D forms/shapes/structures at nano and micro scales with “smart” functions, while sustaining the materials’ excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, provides significant applications in different biomedical fields, ranging from tissue engineering and controlled drug/vaccine delivery to medical devices. Here, I will present our […]

CIS Seminar: “Challenges of Incorporating Algorithms into Decision Making: Fairness, Welfare and Disparate Interactions”
Algorithms have entered the center of many decision making processes, either by providing predictions or assessments to facilitate human decision making or, in some scenarios, suggesting decisions directly. More and more attention has been placed to ensure algorithms satisfy some desirable notion of fairness, which is an important step forward. In this talk, I will […]

PICS Colloquium: “Swarming bacteria as novel active biomaterials – insights into the collective mechanics, particle transport and morphological adaptation in swarming bacteria from in-silico experiments”
Abstract: Flagellated and motile bacteria, in isolation or in coexistence with fungi, are implicated in about two-thirds of human infections. During infection, and generally even in relatively benign situations, bacteria may colonize surfaces via a process called swarming – a form of rapid translocation associated with changes in cell phenotype. As swarmer cells move rapidly, they interact […]
