MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Mechanical Robust Biocompatible Polymeric Networks for Repetitive Loading”
Crosslinked biocompatible polymer networks offer unique potential for biomedical applications that demand high resilience under repetitive load-bearing conditions. However, conventional hydrogels often exhibit poor mechanical strength and irreversible damage under cyclic deformation. To address these challenges, this work presents a class of engineered polymer network designed for enhanced mechanical robustness: cryogel-based double-network (DN) hydrogels. In […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Computational Strategies for Efficiently Sampling Conformational Changes in Solvated Macromolecules” (Akash Pallath)
Abstract: Solvated macromolecules such as proteins and polymers undergo conformational changes in response to stimuli such as pressure, temperature, pH, ligand binding, and post-translational modification. These transitions are fundamental to biological function, from cellular signaling to misfolding and aggregation, and are increasingly harnessed in applications such as drug delivery, biosensing, and biomaterials design. Understanding how […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Computational Analysis of Colloidal Self-Assembly with Interaction Heterogeneity” (Po-Ting Wu)
Abstract: Micron-scale colloidal particles with short-ranged attractions, e.g., colloids functionalized with single-stranded DNA oligomers, have emerged as a powerful platform for studying colloidal self-assembly phenomena with the long-term goal of identifying routes for metamaterial fabrication. Although these systems have been investigated extensively both experimentally and computationally, the role of ‘real world’ features that may impact […]
