BU showcase includes Han, Grinstaff, Khalil, Chen, and Paschalidis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As part of the weeklong celebration marking this Friday\u2019s formal installation of Melissa L. Gilliam as Boston University\u2019s 11th president, BU researchers shared a glimpse into their work and how they are changing the world for the better, at Wednesday\u2019s Inauguration 2024 Research on Tap event at the Center for Computing & Data Sciences.<\/p>\n

Among the dozen presenters were five BU College of Engineering faculty: Professor Xue Han<\/a> (BME<\/a>), William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor Mark Grinstaff<\/a> (BME, MSE<\/a>), Professor Ahmad “Mo” Khalil<\/a> (BME), William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor Christopher Chen<\/a> (BME, MSE), and Distinguished Professor of Engineering Yannis Paschalidis<\/a> (ECE<\/a>, BME, SE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

One of the central themes of the inauguration event was how much time BU researchers spend collaborating outside of their academic fields in pursuit of innovative ideas and approaches, blurring and breaking traditional disciplinary confines by working with colleagues from across BU\u2014and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the set of speakers that we have today really demonstrates the unique power that a place like Boston University has to bring together top researchers across so many different fields,\u201d Gloria Waters, University provost and chief academic officer, said in her opening remarks. \u201cOur researchers are really united by their curiosity, their drive to discover new knowledge, and also their real goal\u2014to advance ideas to foster a better world. They\u2019re all leaders in their respective fields, and they\u2019re also incredible teachers and leaders in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
