The nucleus is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells. While most research has focused on the genomic information contained within the nucleus, recent findings highlight the importance of its mechanical properties and responses to applied forces in determining cellular functions and processes. Using a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research approach that combines the development of novel […]

David Rasmussen leads the Phylodynamics Research Group at NC State, which focuses on developing new computational and statistical methods for genomic epidemiology, population genomics and phylogenetics. Much of our research focuses on developing "phylodynamic" methods to better understand the evolution of microbial pathogens by combining population dynamic modeling with phylogenetic methods. We have applied these […]
Join the Office for Research and Innovation (OR&I) for a panel discussion featuring Duke Science and Engineering faculty who have successfully pursued non-federal research funding. Hear firsthand how they identified opportunities, built relationships with foundations and industry partners, and balanced these awards with their broader research programs. These sessions are designed for researchers who are […]

Regulatory frameworks for chemicals, materials, and advanced products increasingly require quantitative exposure data as a core component of safety dossiers. For solid materials, however, exposure assessment remains challenging because releases are not static properties but emerge dynamically over a material's life cycle, driven by mechanical, environmental, thermal, and use-related stresses. Without robust methods to identify […]
Join us for tea and snacks on the 3rd floor of Gross Hall! This is a great chance to meet colleagues in a casual environment. All Welcome!
Pratt PhD departments and recruiting labs welcome prospective PhD students to campus for a campus tour and mixer dinner with the Engineering Graduate Student Council.
The robots are coming and they're getting smarter, evolving from single-task devices into machines that can make their own decisions and autonomously navigate public spaces. Whether you find it exhilarating or terrifying (or both), progress in robotics and related fields like AI raises new ethical quandaries and challenges legal codes created for a world in […]
