Vivian Feig

Faculty Candidate Seminar: Vivian Feig, Feb. 28

Dec. 2, 2022

Vivian Feig, PhD, is a Schmidt Science Fellow and postdoctoral researcher in the labs of Assistant Professor Giovanni Traverso and Professor Robert Langer at MIT and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In this talk, Feig will show how soft matter can enable bio-interfacing materials to circumvent the tradeoff between dynamism and functionality for two particularly difficult use cases: bio-electronics and load-bearing materials.

Hendrik Heinz

Learning from pangolins and peacocks: Researchers explore next-gen structural materials

Nov. 29, 2022

In a new review paper, a team of international researchers, including Hendrik Heinz, professor of chemical and biological engineering, have laid out how engineers are taking inspiration from the biological world—and designing new kinds of materials that are potentially tougher, more versatile and more sustainable than what humans can make on their own. Such nature-inspired materials could, one day, lead to new and better solar panels, soft robots and even coatings for hypersonic jets.
