Platins, the most widely used chemotherapeutic drugs, are displaying an alarming rise in drug hypersensitivity reactions much more severe than the watery eyes or runny noses associated with hay fever, which is also a Type 1, immediate hypersensitivity reaction. A...
Hsueh-Chia Chang, the Bayer Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been selected to receive the AES Lifetime Achievement Award.
Think equal. Build smart. Innovate for change. In celebration of International Women's Day, meet seven outstanding faculty members whose work is contributing to better understanding and quality of life in our world.
Antennas catch radio waves from the air and convert the energy into electrical signals. They can also convert electrical signals into radio waves. Optical engineers and scientists, like Associate Professor Anthony J. Hoffman, are working toward leveraging these devices to...
The ADA announced it will fund a $1.625 million Accelerator Award to Matthew Webber, assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Bimolecular Engineering, to research and develop materials capable of sensing critical drops in blood glucose.
The foundational multi-disciplinary Applications and Systems-driven Center for Energy-Efficient integrated Nano Technologies (ASCENT) has now been in operation for a year.
Two faculty members from the University of Notre Dame have been named to the Clarivate Analytics’ 2018 Highly Cited Researchers list. Clarivate’s list recognizes world-class researchers selected for their exceptional research performance, which is demonstrated by the production of multiple...
In December 2018, after 12 years of leadership, Hsueh-Chia Chang, the Bayer Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, stepped down as the founding and chief editor of Biomicrofluidics.
Anfiro, an innovator in water and separation technologies, today announced the formation of its Advisory Board with the appointment of industry leaders Craig Beckman, Matthew Nordan and Jean-Marc Pandraud as its initial members. This team expansion will help advise Anfiro as...
Applications are now being accepted for the summer 2019 NDnano Undergraduate Research Fellowship (NURF) program. More than 20 projects in nanotechnology are available to choose from, and the program is open to current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors attending any college or university.
A study from the University of Notre Dame has found that the properties of a material commonly used to create conductive or protective films and encapsulate drug compounds – and the conditions in which this material will disassemble to release...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has recognized four University of Notre Dame faculty members for their excellence in research with new Early Career Development (CAREER) Awards. Over the past five years, Notre Dame faculty have received 37 of these highly...
Ferroelectric materials have the potential to improve a number of characteristics of electronic devices, including memory and power efficiency. However, these materials are difficult to predict and, therefore, to effectively use. To better understand ferroelectric dynamics and variability, Notre Dame...
