SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Sujit Datta
DESCRIPTION:Life in a tight spot: Spying on bacteria in complex spaces \nLocation: Snell Engineering Center 168 \nAbstract: Bacteria are arguably the simplest form of life; and yet\, as multi-cellular collectives\, they perform complex functions critical to environment\, food\, health\, and industry. What principles govern how complex behaviors emerge in bacterial collectives? And how can we harness them to control bacterial behavior? In this talk\, I will describe my group’s work addressing this question using tools from soft matter engineering\, 3D imaging\, and biophysical modeling. We have developed the ability to (i) directly visualize bacteria from the scale of a single cell to that of an entire multi-cellular collective\, (ii) 3D-print precisely structured collectives\, and (iii) model their large-scale motion and growth in complex environments. I will describe how\, using this approach\, we are developing new ways to predict and control how bacterial collectives — and potentially other forms of “active matter” — spread large distances\, adapt shape to resist perturbations\, and self-regulate growth to access more space by processing chemical information in their local environments. \n\nSujit Datta is a Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Bioengineering\, and Biophysics at Caltech. Prior\, he was at Princeton University\, where he started his faculty career in 2017 and was promoted to Associate Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering in 2022. \nSujit earned a BA in Mathematics and Physics and an MS in Physics in 2008 from the University of Pennsylvania\, and then a PhD in Physics in 2013 from Harvard\, where he studied fluid dynamics and instabilities in soft and disordered media with Dave Weitz. His postdoctoral training was in Chemical Engineering at Caltech\, where he studied the biophysics of the gut with Rustem Ismagilov. \nThe Datta Lab studies the dynamics\, self-organization\, and applications of complex\, soft (“squishy”)\, and living systems\, with a focus on complex fluids\, gels\, and bacterial communities/active matter\, motivated by challenges in biotechnology\, energy\, environment\, and medicine. Their work integrates microscopy\, microfluidics\, materials science\, and biophysical characterization with theoretical & computational modeling\, applying ideas from fluid and solid mechanics\, colloidal science\, polymer physics\, statistical mechanics\, and network science. Altogether\, this research program has revealed and shed new light on the fascinating behaviors manifested by complex fluids and bacterial populations in complex environments\, guiding the development of new approaches to environmental remediation\, energy production\, agriculture\, water security\, and biotechnology. \nSujit’s scholarship has been recognized by awards from a broad range of different communities\, reflecting its multidisciplinary nature\, including through the AIChE Allan P. Colburn and 35 Under 35 Awards\, three awards from the APS (Early Career Award in Biological Physics\, Andreas Acrivos Award in Fluid Dynamics\, and Apker Award)\, Pew Biomedical Scholar Award\, Society of Rheology Arthur Metzner Award\, ACS Unilever Award\, Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award\, NSF CAREER Award\, and multiple commendations for teaching. In addition to leading professional activities for a number of scientific societies and agencies\, Sujit serves on the editorial boards of Annual Reviews of Condensed Matter Physics and the Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics.

SUMMARY:Global Co-op Self-Development Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Searching for and securing a global co-op can be an exciting and daunting process! Looking for some additional guidance in your self-developed global co-op search? \nCome join us for a workshop intended to provide you the skills and resources to support you in a self-developed search. We will cover searching on job sites such as GoinGlobal\, how to connect with alumni\, which Northeastern offices to connect with to support you in securing a Visa and housing and learn about Northeastern agency partnerships and research institutes that are also available for co-ops abroad. \nThis session is open to students from all colleges! This will be a virtual session over Zoom (https://northeastern.zoom.us/j/94761657018) and is intended to be interactive! \nPlease register for the event via NUworks\, so that you can receive the Self-Development Worksheet ahead of the session. Bring your questions\, the worksheet\, and a notebook! We look forward to connecting.
