Teaching practice, just as any other scholarly activity, is an area about which you can form questions and hypotheses, gather data, and iterate based on the results of your study. Many faculty at Duke engage in applied educational research or scholarship of teaching and learning in which they routinely explore questions about teaching and/or student […]
Microplastics, particularly nanoplastics, are widespread contaminants, virtually present in all engineering and environmental systems. Also abundant in these systems are biofilms, or bacteria surrounded with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) to form a three-dimensional matrix structure. There is compelling evidence indicating nanoparticle (NP) ubiquity, accumulation, and interaction with environmental biofilms. However, the fundamental understanding of the […]

Abstract: AI has been progressively introduced into network analysis and optimization as some kind of "distinct" or "new" modelling methodology. In this talk we will show that the same types of Markov models that have been historically used in network analysis, are also used for Machine Learning (ML) based network optimization techniques. The presentation will […]

The healthcare sector stands at a pivotal crossroads, reminiscent of Charles Dickens' portrayal of contrasts in "A Tale of Two Cities". Today's healthcare landscape is marked by stark dichotomies: we face daunting challenges such as escalating costs, regulatory complexities, growing patient expectations, health disparities, aging demographics, and the burden of chronic diseases, while benefiting from […]
The Department of Chemistry is excited to host Lu Wei (Cal Tech). To learn more about the Wei lab's work, please visit their research page:https://www.weilab.caltech.edu/ Functional Bond-Selective Microscopy for Subcellular Biology: From Quantitative Imaging and Sensing to Single-Molecule Analysis Advances in optical spectroscopy and microscopy have revolutionized our understanding in live biological functions at the […]
Drug discoveries have been instrumental in improving global health over the last century, but the median drug now takes about 10 years to bring to market and costs over a billion dollars to develop. The work in our lab aims to expedite the development of precise diagnostics and therapeutics by applying machine learning. In this […]
