Goyal Elected OSA Fellow
He has been elected a Fellow of The Optical Society (OSA) “for outstanding inventions in computational imaging and sensing, including unprecedented demonstrations of the utility of weak, mixed, and indirect optical measurements.”
Robot Reinforcement
A team of researchers led by Professor Calin Belta has developed a new machine-learning framework to teaching a robot, or a team of robots, a high-risk, complex task—a framework that could be applied to a host of tasks.
How Can Synthetic Biology Combat Climate Change?
On December 3 and 4, the College of Engineering, along with the graduate program in Bioinformatics and systems biology, hosted the workshop, The Role of Synthetic Biology in Atmospheric Greenhouse Gas Reduction. The workshop is supported in part by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Zhang Receives Award from the Institution of Engineering and Technology
Chosen from over 360 entries, Zhang’s award recognized her recent work in developing a new metamaterial that can improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quality and decrease scan time.
Here’s How to Really Improve Gender Diversity in STEM Research
Wong is a coauthor on a new consensus paper published in Science describing a series of policy frameworks that could increase gender diversity in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) research workforce.
Can Synthetic Biology Address Climate Change?
Metcalf and BME Professor Charles DeLisi has organized a conference to draw some of the nation’s leaders in synthetic biology, engineering, atmospheric science, law, ethics and policy to campus on Dec. 3-4.
Wong Builds Catalog of Tools for Genetic Research
The key, new element in this work is that these recombinases are inducible—their functions can be turned on and off. A recombinase is an enzyme that can recognize a specific DNA sequence and then perform a specific function at that site such as cutting out a gene from the DNA.
