For their ES100 thesis project, Wafiqah and Maddy have been developing the gas sensor technology for disease diagnostics, mentored by Haritosh. Congratulations to the team!

Raphael's research is at the intersection of architecture, design, nature-inspired materials, and sustainability, with the goal to bring nature-inspired sustainable solutions to real-world building challenges. He is currently developing solutions to the...

Thanks to the Salata Institute for highlighting our work on developing a methane sensor that is minimally intrusive to a cow and can provide real-time data of its methane emissions in its natural environment. Check out the article here: https:/...

A new collaborative project between between Tim Swager at MIT, Dr. Stella Lee at Mass General Brigham (MGB), and our lab recently was one of the winners of the the Inaugural MIT-MGB Seed Grant . The mission is twofold: first, to create a quantitative test...

At the latest Hydrocephalus World Congress, Haritosh received a Young Investigator Award from the Hydrocephalus Society. He spoke on "Bioinspired anti-fouling catheter material and design." His work is advancing the frontiers of biomaterials and efficient...

Haritosh presented his work on "Tunable and Deployable Drug Eluting Stent with Passive Bimodal Drug Release" at the 8th Annual Translational Medicine and Bioengineering Conference, a subdivision of AiCHE. Olivia Snapper started working on this project as...

Haritosh is developing anti-occluding ventricular catheters for the effective treatment of hydrocephalus combating complications that often lead to revision surgeries in the brain space. His innovative work on self-cleaning catheters that leverage clever...

Raphael is developing liquid windows which can independently control reflection, absorption, and transmission of visible and infrared radiation, allowing for human comfort while reducing building energy expenditures associated with heating and cooling...

Just published in Nature Catalysis, our paper Nanoparticle proximity controls selectivity in benzaldehyde hydrogenation presents a detailed study of the role of nanoparticle distribution on catalysis. Take a look at the excellent summary in the associated...

Our paper " Emergent collective motion of self-propelled condensate droplets" is out in Physical Review Letters. Now Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at KAUST, Dan Daniel started this work when he was a graduate student in the Aizenberg lab...
