Description
No Fear of Failure & Taking Risks on the Road to Discovery A Multimedia Presentation with Live Performances. Students should not be afraid of making mistakes but rather be prepared to take risks and make mistakes in order to learn and make new discoveries. Each speaker will present for 10minutes, followed by an Interactive Q&A session with the audience. Enzo M. Di Fabrizio, Professor of Material Science & Engineering Facilitator, Introduction & Physics Jorg Eppinger, Assistant Professor of Chemical Sciences Chem-is-try David Keyes, Professor of Applied Mathematics & Computational Science Poetry & Music Justine Mink, PhD Student, Environmental Science & Engineering Surprise your Supervisor: How not to be a lab robot
David Keyes
Professor Keyes is the director of the Extreme Computing Research Center at KAUST. He earned a BSE in Aerospace and Mechanical Sciences from Princeton University in 1978 and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University in 1984. Prof Keyes works at the interface between parallel computing and the numerical analysis of partial differential equations. Before joining KAUST as a founding dean in 2009, he led DOE scalable solver software projects and taught at Columbia University and Yale.
Enzo Di Fabrizio
Prof Di Fabrizio conducts an interdisciplinary activity between physics and biology and nanomedicine that includes basic and applied research in nanotechnology. At KAUST he is dedicated to setting up a new lab for Molecular Sensing and Imaging. His main interests concern the study of material and macro molecules at nanoscale, their structure and function, through novel spectroscopy approaches mediated by nanostructures. In particular the activity includes: nanofabrication of plasmonic devices, optical tweezers based microscopy (applied to biophysics and nanomedicine), Raman spectroscopy for single molecules detection through scanning probe, design and fabrication of microfluidics nano-devices dedicated to cellomics and drug delivery, proteomic, biophotonic and TEM imaging.
