The Ford Foundation Fellowship is sponsored by the Ford Foundation and administered by the National Research Council of the National Academies. This is a prestigious award that reflects the National Academies review panelists’ judgment of Charlie’s scholarly competence as well as the promise that he shows for future achievement as a scholar, researcher, and teacher… Read more »
The ASU Graduate College provides University Graduate Fellowships to facilitate the recruitment and completion of the most diverse and high quality PhD students. Congrats guys!
Congrats to Philip Wheat and his family. Philip successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Collective behavior of swimming bimetallic motors in chemical concentration gradients.”
Our group is partially funded by the SRC/Sematech funded ERC at University of Arizona. Our project focuses on the environmental and health and safety of engineered nanomaterials. Wen-che, Charlie and Babak are presenting our work on using artificial cell membranes for predicting the bioaccumulation and toxicity potential of engineered nanomaterials.
The ARCS Foundation was founded in 1958 in Los Angeles, California, in response to the launch of the first satellite in space, the Russian Sputnik. Our founders became aware of the need to support the education of American scientists in order to become competitive in the field of technology. The ARCS Foundation is a nonprofit… Read more »
Abstract: Mitchell originally proposed that an asymmetric ion flux across an organism’s membrane could generate electric fields that drive locomotion. Although this locomotion mechanism was later rejected for some species of bacteria, engineered Janus particles have been realized that can swim due to ion fluxes generated by asymmetric electrochemical reactions. Here we present governing equations,… Read more »
It is no surprise that the world of nanoscale science and engineering (NSE) is expanding at a very fast rate given the efforts being made to improve human health, clean up the environment, and provide security, among other initiatives. Challenges also arise in understanding and appreciating how the intended and unintended consequences of such NSE… Read more »
John Anderson is giving this year’s distinguished lecture in Mechanical Engineering. Prof. Anderson is President of Illinois Institute of Technology and has many numerous contributions to electrokinetics, colloidal science, membrane science, and transport phenomena.
