Seminar - “Some Unique Monte Carlo Molecular Simulation Algorithms and Their Applications" by William R. Smith, Faculty of Science, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Oshawa, and Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Guelph

ABSTRACT:  The development of molecular simulation algorithms for predicting the thermodynamic properties of classical fluids and their mixtures began over 50 years ago. An ultimate goal is to predict system properties at both the macroscopic and molecular levels with the minimal need for experimental data. Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) are the two main approaches, both based on specifying an underlying mathematical model for the molecular interactions (force fields).

Seminar - “Mechanics and Manufacture of Bio-Integrated Electronics” by Dr. Nanshu Lu, Ph.D., University of Texas at Austin

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.

Seminar - “How Living Cells Sense and Respond to their Mircoenvironment” by Mohammad R.K. Mofrad, Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley

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.
