It is always an honor to be selected by students to keynote a symposium! I can't wait to spend the two days with the OSU NOBCChE chapter and students and faculty at OSU!
We are hosting a symposium on Tuesday February 6th! This will include the opportunity for student talks (we have provided 6 slots, each 20 minutes) followed by a keynote seminar. Use the QR code in the provided poster to submit an abstract by his Friday January 12th! #NOBCChe

The itsy, bitsy spider... helped identify biomechanical systems capable of withstanding large loads w/ sub-millisecond response times, and inspired new micromechanical systems and responsive actuators. Incredible work by @AuburnU's @SymoneAlexander eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/11/…

Our bioinspiration isn't limited to food - complex assemblies are everywhere! Excited to work with the Smithsonian @NMNH to uncover more fundamental physics, materials, & engineering concepts behind the slingshot spider's unique prey capture strategy.🕷 eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/11/…

Can you recover cellulose from restaurant food waste with no control over the menu or waste composition? We took the first step towards using real-world food waste to recover valuable biopolymers. Check out the open access manuscript here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…. @mtgchenref
