The adoption of data-sciences within chemical engineering and materials science is primed to accelerate materials discovery and developments in molecular understanding. Yet, this movement is still dominated by information originating from molecular modelling, or from physical data that is acquired from legacy sources (e.g. databases, literature mining) accumulating decades of careful experimental work. In order to advance data-driven materials developments into the future, high-throughput experimentation (HTE) and aut...
The institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE), Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has conducted a number of workshops to train students about various intricacies of the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Note: Please email Mini Thomas, minit@princeton.edu, for meeting password Peptoids, or n-substitued glycines, are complex and diverse oligomeric structures which have been explored for a number of biomimetic applications including drug delivery, surfactants, and catalysts. In contrast to their peptide counterparts, on peptoids the sidechain is bonded to the backbone nitrogen resulting in a flexible omega backbone dihedral that is able to isomerize into both stable cis- and trans- backbone conformations. This unique feature of peptoids allows for these structures to potentially span a signifi...

Fluids are vital to all life forms, and organisms have presumably adapted their behaviors or features in response to mechanical forces on the body to achieve better performance. In this talk, I will discuss two biological problems in which animals exploit mechanics principles. First, we investigated how animals transport water into the mouth using an inertia-driven (lapping) mechanism. Dogs accelerate the tongue upward (up to 4 g) to create a larger water column while drinking, whereas cats use a tongue motion with rel...
