Richard Skalak Bioengineering Lecture
"Nanoscience and Engineering in the Study of Human Diseases,"
Subra Suresh, director of the National Science Foundation
Subra Suresh, director of the National Science Foundation (NSF), will deliver the annual Richard Skalak Bioengineering Lecture on Friday, April 27, hosted by Columbia Engineering's Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME). Dr. Suresh has directed the $7 billion federal agency since October 2010, following his nomination to the post by President Obama and a unanimous confirmation by the U.S. Senate. His lecture, "Nanoscience and Engineering in the Study of Human Diseases," will be given in the Northwest Corner Building auditorium from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
"Columbia Engineering is proud that Dr. Suresh will deliver the Skalak lecture this year," said Feniosky Peña-Mora, dean of The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. "While Dr. Skalak's research launched the field of modern biomechanics, Dr. Suresh's work in nanobiomechanics has advanced the field to new levels. We are honored that he will be sharing aspects of his seminal work on human diseases with our community."
