Biological Engineering Department Seminar Series

Conference/Seminar

The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Ms. Libbie Linton, Senior Process Engineer at WesTech, will present: "Marketing Your Degree".

March 9th at 1:00 pm in ENGR 406

Libbie Linton is a 2008 (B.S.) and 2010 (M.S.) graduate from the USU Department of Biological Engineering. Following graduation, Libbie joined WesTech Engineering in Salt Lake City. At WesTech, Libbie has held roles as a Research Engineer, an Applications Engineer, Product Group Leader of Membrane Filtration, and currently works as a Senior Process Engineer and Assistant Unit Leader for a division specializing in filtration products. Libbie also serves on the Board of Directors for the Northwest Membrane Operators Association. In this seminar, Libbie will talk about how integral her time at USU and the professors have been in her success.

Guest Speaker: Dr. Tim Taylor

A meet and greet with Ms. Linton will be held immediately following the seminar in ENGR 406.

Biological Engineering Department Seminar Series

Conference/Seminar

The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Dr. Rob Franklin, an Engineering Lead at Blackrock Microsystems, will present: "NeuroProsthetics and Brain Computer Interfaces: The future is Now!".

March 10th at 3:00 pm in ENGR 238

NeuroProsthetics is an emerging technology that is projected to reach a market size of $10.48 Billion by 2023. The field encompasses products as diverse as Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease to brain-controlled robotic arms. Blackrock Microsystems, headquartered in Salt Lake City, is at the forefront of the field of NeuroProsthetics. Come and learn what it takes to bring new NeuroProsthetics devices to the market. During the seminar, Dr. Franklin will talk about the design control process, FDA regulations, and future applications for this exciting new technology.

[CANCELED] Department Colloquium: The Fourier pseudo-spectral numerical schemes for nonlinear PDEs and their stability

Conference/Seminar

Speaker: Cheng Wang, Professor, Department of Mathematics, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

Abstract: The Fourier pseudo-spectral numerical schemes are considered for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE). Stability and convergence analysis are analyzed in detail, such as viscous Burgers' equation and incompressible fluid equations. Related applications to the incompressible quasi-geostrophic equation will also be addressed, in both 2-D and 3-D, for smooth and vortex sheet initial data. In addition, high order time-stepping schemes (up to fourth-order accuracy order) will be explored in detail. Unconditional stability is established for the implicit time-stepping algorithms.

[CANCELED] Applied Mathematics Seminar: Numerical schemes for phase field models and its applications to biological...

Conference/Seminar

Speaker: Giordano Tierra-Chica, Assistant Professor, University of North Texas

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss about some PDE systems to represent biological applications that are based on or involve the understanding of the rheology of complex fluids. In particular I will focus on ideas to design efficient and accurate numerical schemes for biofilms and vesicle membranes using phase field models. In fact, I will present an energetic variational approach to model biofilm interaction with fluid flows. The biofilm is assumed an incompressible ternary mixture of viscous and viscoelastic fluids that represents bacteria, EPS and solvent phases. The proposed model satisfies an overall dissipative energy law and is solved with an efficient unconditionally energy-stable splitting scheme that is able to capture large-scale events of biofilm deformation and detachment under different hydrodynamic conditions, results that are qualitatively consistent with laboratory experiments. Moreover, I will also talk about numerical schemes to simulate the deformation of vesicles membranes via minimizing the bending energy.
