Join us for an interdisciplinary lecture exploring how cutting-edge research is driving material innovation in the built environment. This event brings together faculty whose work spans chemistry, engineering, and architecture to examine how living systems can be integrated into material design to address pressing challenges related to sustainability, resilience, and the future of construction.

Featured speakers:
Professor Alshakim Nelson, Chemistry
Professor Ayokunle Olánrewájú, Mechanical Engineering & Bioengineering
Professor Gundula Proksch, Architecture

Afterwards, we’ll gather in the Gould Gallery for the exhibition opening and reception. We kindly ask that you RSVP if you plan to attend.

This event is part of a series highlighting interdisciplinary research and collaboration across the Department of Chemistry, the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering, and the Department of Architecture.
