Threads offe r unique advantages of universal availability\, low cost\, material diver sity and simple textile-based processing. In this talk\, I will report re el-to-reel fabrication to make functional smart threads for variety of se nsing and electronics application. For example\, I will report on nanomat erial-infused smart threads for sensing physical biomarkers (e.g. strain\ , pressure\, temperature) and chemical biomarkers (pH\, glucose\, lactate etc.) of health and wellbeing. Recent work on making electronic devices such as transistors and integrated circuits on threads will be presented. I will show our recent work on using this toolkit of thread-based microf luidics\, sensors and electronics for applications as smart surgical sutu res and flexible smart bandages for chronic wounds. Our recent work on us ing threads for closed loop spatiotemporal dosage controlled drug deliver y will also be presented. I will also present some research activities on making colorimetric gas sensing threads for environmental monitoring\, a nd strain sensing threads for a wide variety of physical activity monitor ing platforms. If time permits\, I will provide a brief overview of other research activities in my group.

In the US\, this proced ure happens over 2.7 million times daily. A key challenge of effective an d safe vascular access\, especially in resource limited settings\, is the availability of trained providers who can perform the procedure reliably . This challenge along with inherent inaccuracy due to manual nature of t he current procedure could be alleviated using autonomous robotic venipun cture. This talk will discuss the various challenges in this line of rese arch\, from choice of sensors to how the system would work or even be use ful in settings such as remote medicine to a crowded ER. There will also be a brief discussion on the non-technical barriers of getting medical de vices into practice from regulatory practices to the reality of reimburse ment for those interested in medical device entrepreneurship.

To address this crisis\, the Bill and Melinda Gates Fou ndation launched the Reinvent the Toilet Challenge - a call to engineers to develop affordable and innovative sanitation solutions that can operat e without connections to water\, sewer\, and electricity. One of these so lutions\, the Reclaimer\, was developed by the Duke University Center for WaSH-AID.\n\nCurrently\, the Reclaimer is capable of running without con nections to water or sewer but does require an external power source. To ensure the Reclaimer is available to those that lack access to a reliable power source\, it must operate off-grid. The need for successful off-gri d operation spurred the completion of an energy demand reduction analysis . In addition to the sanitation crisis\, this presentation will detail bo th the Reclaimer technology and the thermodynamic analyses that have been completed to reduce the Reclaimer's energy requirements.

It is a 4-6 year commitment you make to yourself and your advisor\, even though the future is full of uncertainty and a lot ups an d downs. Everyone loves successful experiments and publications\, but one can also have self-doubt and ask: what is the meaning of getting a PhD? is it really worth it? Will I ever get a decent job after this? Just like every career choice question\, there is no correct or standard answer to these questions. Nevertheless\, in this informal talk\, I will talk abou t my personal reflection on the reasons of getting PhD\, many of which we re not exactly clear when I was a graduate student. As junior faculty who just changed the academic status\, I will also talk about the difference in mindsets and expectation between students and advisors\, in the hope that\, through mutual understanding\, every student can maintain a good r elationship with the advisors and thrive in their PhD careers.

In order to lea rn what is\, and how to use\, "Materials Engineering Design" I have taken a new approach to educating engineers and other scientists. We Reverse Engineer problems "X" solved\, where "X" could be nature\, engineers\, or a range of professions that have solved problems using various device-ba sed solutions. Why do we reverse engineer problems that have already bee n solved? Because they were not solved by you and because we know all th e answers. The result is that when you go through this reverse engineeri ng process you become an inventor and innovator yourself. Reverse engine ering is an invention and innovation generator\, which to me is the goal of all education\, for you to be stimulated to have your own ideas.

Despite its remarkable success\, the application of KS-DFT to systems consisting of thousands of atoms is still difficult. The major computational bottleneck is an eigenvalue pro blem\, whose direct solution scales cubically with respect to the problem size. To overcome this bottleneck\, researchers and software developers are actively working on improving the performance of eigensolvers and dev eloping alternative algorithms that circumvent the explicit solution of t he eigenproblem. In this talk\, we present ELSI\, an open-source software infrastructure aiming to facilitate large-scale electronic structure cal culations. ELSI features a unified programming interface that connects el ectronic structure codes to a variety of high-performance solvers. The ef ficiency and scalability of these solvers are demonstrated by a set of be nchmarks performed on world-leading supercomputers.
