Research Seminars @ Illinois

Two graduate students will present their research at the third Beckman Graduate Student Seminar of the fall semester: Jenna Cario and YiRang Shin. Lunch will be provided to registered attendees. The event takes place Wednesday, November 1, 2023 at noon in 5602 Beckman Institute.

Lectures and discussions on current work in research and development in nuclear engineering and related fields by staff, advanced students, and visiting speakers.

Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Program Chair Director, Laboratory for Integrative Neuroscience Brain and Cognitive Sciences

Dr. Grillot will review the recent findings and prospects on nanostructure based light emitters made with quantum-dot technology. Many applications ranging from silicon-based integrated solutions to quantum information systems will be presented. In addition, Dr. Grillot will strongly highlight the importance of nanotechnologies in industry and society.

Speaker: Daecheol Kim, Title: Introduction to Optimal Transport

Speaker: Jinyoung Park (Courant Institute)

Most epidemiological models use mass concentrations of particulate matter (PM) as a metric to predict its health effects. These models use globalized concentration-response (CR) functions which have been constructed using relative risk (RR) estimates from cohort studies conducted in limited regions.

Dr. Andrew Margenot (University of Illinois, Crop Sciences) is this week's seminar speaker.

2023 David Gottlieb Memorial Lecture Jörn Piel, PhD Professor of Microbial Interactions, Institute of Microbiology ETH Zürich "Natural products from strange microbes"

The Cognitive Neuroscience seminar series with Prof. Audrey Duarte, University of Texas-Austin will present a seminar on "Individual differences factors that exacerbate age-related memory impairments."

Spns lipid transporters are critical for transporting sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and lysolipids across cellular membranes. S1P regulates the growth, survival, and migration of cells with profound proangiogenic effects. In humans, Spns2 acts as the main S1P transporter in endothelial cells, making it a potential drug target for modulating S1P export and signaling.
