Congratulations to this year’s recipient of the Certificate in University Teaching Award, Marzieh Riahinezhad (Chemical Engineering)! Marzieh is a PhD student with Professors Alex Penlidis and Neil McManus
An interview with Marzieh is featured in the CTE blog, and will also be featured in the May edition of the CTE newsletter, Teaching Matters.
“Significant Achievements in Polymer Devolatilization and Reactive Processing.” His research on numerous reactive systems using screw extruders was recognized with this award from the Extrusion Division of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) during the 2015 Annual Technical Conference (ANTEC) in Orlando, Florida.
ABSTRACT: Bio-integrated electronics has demonstrated exciting applications in wearable health monitors, surgical tools, as well as human-machine interfaces. Strategies for bio-integrated electronics must overcome challenges associated with the mismatch between the hard, planar surfaces of brittle semiconductor wafers and the soft, curvilinear tissues of dynamic biological systems.
ABSTRACT: It is now widely established that living cells sense mechanical signals and respond actively by changing their phenotype accordingly. This process, termed cellular mechanotransduction, is mediated by a combination of biochemical and biophysical mechanisms via conformational changes in the structure and function of specific molecules.
