GradSWE: Women in Academia Faculty Panel
Friday,
September 18, 2020
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Online
This event will provide students with information about different career paths that are available in academia and how to navigate them from personal experience. With a focus on supporting female engineers, the panel will be geared towards the experiences of women in academia specifically.
Panelist Bios:
Christine P. Hendon develops biomedical optics technologies for biomedicine to guide interventional procedures and to provide insights into the structure-function relationship of biological normal, diseased, and treated tissues. She has worked on developing next-generation optical coherence tomography systems and integrated therapeutic catheters with near infrared spectroscopy, along with real-time processing algorithms to extract physiological information. Hendon collaborates extensively with investigators from Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Medical Center. Her group has developed integrative optics and therapeutic probes for improving the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
Allie Obermeyer’s research, which lies at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and engineering, is motivated by the goal to improve human health. The primary focus of her lab is on developing hybrid protein and polymer-based materials for biomedical applications.
Nadeen Chahine’s research focuses on degeneration and regeneration of the intervertebral disc in the spine. She is applying tools of bioengineering, cell and tissue biomechanics, and animal physiology to study the function of the disc and disc cells, with emphasis on degradation processes and inflammation. She also collaborates with physicians in the departments of Orthopedic Surgery.
Lydia Chilton’s area of study is human-computer interaction with a focus on computational design, including viewing the design process from a computational standpoint. Two current projects are constructing visual metaphors for creative ads and using computational tools to write humor and news satire.
