This week (Wednesday 07/25) we're excited to have a special Kavli seminar led by Davide Bigoni from the University of Trento, who'll talk about "Extreme deformation of solids and structures: folding and energy release". Abstract is attached.
We'll meet at noon in Pierce 306 and food will be served.
Implanted medical devices such as left ventricular-assist devices for patients with heart failure or other support systems for patients with respiratory, liver or other end organ disease save lives every day. However, bacteria that form infectious biofilms on those devices, called device-associated infections, not only often sabotage their success but also contribute to the rampant increase in antibiotic resistance currently seen in hospitals....
In 2006, as New Orleans reeled from Hurricane Katrina and Al Gore released “An Inconvenient Truth” to international acclaim and debate, Harvard launched a University-wide program to investigate and strengthen the emerging field of sustainability science.

The mechanized robot crashes through the city, smashing buildings and scattering debris across the streets as it charges off in search of enemies to gun down.
Joanna Aizenberg belongs to the world’s finest as far as bio-inspired materials engineering goes, says Nico Sommerdijk (Chemical Engineering). “Her research reaches across disciplines and is highly innovative.” Aizenberg hails from Russia, received her PhD in Israel, and has been working at Harvard in the US since 1996.
Joanna Aizenberg will become a Distinguished Professor at TU/e, meaning they will visit Eindhoven a week every year for at least for years to give lectures for students or meet with TU/e researchers.
