Plant Cell-Based Materials for Engineering Applications: Nano Seminar Series

Zoom Session
  • Prof. Chiara Daraio, Caltech, ME & Applied Physics
Zoom link https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/91248623512 We propose a new concept for bio-composites’ fabrication, which uses living, undifferentiated plant cells, to produce materials with properties comparable to engineered woods (plywood, MDF) and commercial plastics. The use of “engineered living systems” to fabricate materials sustainably is an emerging line of research.

Counting Molecules, Dodging Blood Cells: Continuous, Real-time Molecular Measurements Directly in the Living Body: Nano Seminar Series

Zoom Session
  • Prof. Kevin W. Plaxco, UC Santa Barbara, Bioengineering / Chemistry
** https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/93986051721 The availability of technologies capable of tracking the levels of drugs, metabolites, and biomarkers in real time in the living body would revolutionize our understanding of health and our ability to detect and treat disease.

2D Moiré Superlattices: a New Hubbard Model Simulator: Nano Seminar Series

Zoom Session
  • Prof. Kin Fai Mak, Cornell Univ., Applied and Engineering Physics
** https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/92107324763 The Hubbard model, first formulated by physicist John Hubbard in the 1960s, is a simple theoretical model of interacting quantum particles in a lattice. The model is thought to capture the essential physics of high-temperature superconductors, magnetic insulators, and other complex emergent quantum many-body ground states.

Delivery and Antiparasitic Antimonial Therapy Using Biomaterial Nanoparticles: Nano Seminar Series

Zoom Session
  • Prof. Timothy Johnstone, UC Santa Cruz, Chemistry & Biochemistry
https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/92956226569 Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that is endemic to 98 countries and claims tens of thousands of lives each year. Of the handful of drugs available to treat infection with Leishmania spp., two contain the main-group element antimony: meglumine antimoniate and sodium stibogluconate.

RISE Seminar: Lessons from Large-Scale Cloud Software at Databricks

Soda Hall
  • Matei Zaharia, Stanford University
The cloud has become the most common way to deliver commercial software, but it requires building products in a very different way from traditional software, which has not been heavily studied in research. I will explain some of these challenges based on my experience at Databricks, a startup that provides a data analytics platform as a service on AWS and Azure. Databricks manages...
