Designing Drug-Delivery Nanoparticles, CEP Magazine article, September 2016
Nanoparticles for drug delivery can be better designed by modeling the body as unit processes connected by the vascular system. Each organ and organ function can be represented as a unit process on organ-on-a-chip devices.
Catalyzing Commercialization: A Graphene-Based Sensor Monitors Water Quality in Real Time, CEP Magazine article, July 2017
The devastating water crisis in Flint, MI, brought into focus the widespread issues plaguing U.S. water supply systems. As the water infrastructure continues to age, distribution pipes are deteriorating, potentially leaching toxic heavy metals and other contaminants into drinking water. Upgrading U.S. water systems will take years and trillions of dollars. In the meantime, to safeguard public health, it is crucial to monitor heavy metals and other contaminants throughout the water supply - particularly at the point of use.
SBE Update: The Merging of Bio and Nano, CEP Magazine article, December 2012
Earlier this year, the Society for Biological Engineering (SBE) organized its Sixth International Conference on Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (ICBN), which focused on bio-nanoscience and bioengineering for translational medicine. The conference brought together bioengineers and nanotechnology...
Nanotechnology: A Guide to Nano-Objects, CEP Magazine article, May 2011
Rapid change in the field of nanotechnology can make it hard to keep track of the latest nanomaterial developments. Here's a primer on the most common shapes, sizes, and compositions of nano-objects.
Catalyzing Commercialization: Nanofibers Produce Mega Impact for High-Efficiency Separations, CEP Magazine article, March 2016
Consider two grand challenges of the 21st century cited by the National Academy of Engineering: Provide access to clean water, and engineer better medicines. These seemingly unrelated global challenges share an important issue — the need for a breakthrough technology for low-cost, efficient...
