HOW ECE IS HELPING TO DRIVE BIO APPLICATIONS TOP OF MIND RESONANCE Fall 2013 EDITORIAL BOARD William H. Sanders Interim Department Head W. Brad Petersen Director of Communications and Editor Later in this magazine you’ll read about the $100 million commitment the Jeanette Beck College of Engineering at Illinois received early this year to launch the Assistant to the Department Head Grainger Engineering Breakthroughs Initiative. The incredible generosity of The Grainger Foundation of Lake Forest, Illinois, will help departments Jennifer Carlson across the college—including ECE—through support of new professorships, Academic Programs Coordinator student scholarships, and investment in our facilities. Breanne Ertmer At a time when support from the State of Illinois is at an all-time low, private Corporate Relations Coordinator support is extremely important to ensure we can continue to fulfill our land- Steve Franke grant mission. Student scholarships are one area of strong need. In 1990, Associate Head for Graduate Affairs the state provided $3.36 in funding per student tuition dollar. As of 2012, that number is down to 62 cents. Jamie Hutchinson Publications Office Editor Early next year the College of Engineering will announce a massive scholar- ship fundraising initiative designed to ensure that great students still have Sarah Heier access to a great education at Illinois. Through this initiative we’ll ensure Alumni and Student Relations Coordinator that students of all backgrounds will have a chance to get an ECE ILLINOIS education. Erhan Kudeki Associate Head for Undergraduate Affairs One example of the power of alumni and industry support is the new ECE Martin O’Donnell building currently under construction on the engineering campus. By next Assistant Director of Advancement fall, ECE will be moved into this state-of-the-art facility built around the needs of our students. Though fundraising is ongoing, when the building is complete exactly half of the $95 million project cost will have been supplied Winter Agency by alumni, industry, and other private donors. This building will impact our Design students and faculty in profound ways. The funding landscape continues to change for colleges and universities, and Illinois is no exception. Gifts of all sizes will play an instrumental role in helping ECE maintain and grow its academic and research programs in the years ahead.

  • Seminar Flyer Rashid Bashir
    PRESENTS BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology: From Lab on Chip to Printing Cellular Machines THURSDAY, May 30th 2019 12:00 – 1:00 PM 2101 ENGINEERING V Rashid Bashir, Ph.D. UIUC Dean, Department of Bioengineering ABSTRACT: Integration of biology, medicine, and fabrication methods at the micro and nano scale offers tremendous opportunities for solving important problems in biology and medicine and to enable a wide range of applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and tissue engineering. Microfluidics and Lab-on-Chip can be very beneficial to realize practical applications in detection of disease markers, counting of specific cells from whole blood, and for identification of pathogens, at point-of-care. In this talk, we will present data driven approaches for stratification of sepsis, detection of cells and proteins from a drop of blood, rapid detection of pathogens from body fluids, and spatial mapping of nucleic acids from cancer tumors. We will also present our work on bio- printing with stereolithography to produce bio-hybrid devices made of polymers and cells for the development of biological machines, soft robotics, and hyper organs. Such complex cellular systems will be a major challenge for the next decade and beyond, requiring knowledge from tissue engineering, synthetic biology, micro-fabrication and nanotechnology, systems biology, and developmental biology. These devices could have potential applications in drug delivery, power generation, and other biomimetic systems. BIOGRAPHY: Rashid Bashir is Dean of Engineering, the Grainger Distinguished Chair in Engineering and Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Previously, he was the Executive Associate Dean at the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine (2017 – present), the Abel Bliss Professor of Engineering, Head of Department of Bioengineering (2013 – 2017), and Director of the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (a campus-wide clean room research facility) (2007 – 2013).
