ACHIEVEMENTS: Faculty honored for publications

Four engineers from Computer Science and Engineering -- graduate research assistant Deepak Nadig Anantha, professor Byrav Ramamurthy, research assistant professor Brian Bockelman and research professor and Holland Computing Center director David Swanson -- are co-authors of a paper that was named the First Best Paper in the Regular Papers category at the IEEE International Conference for Advanced Networks and Telecommunications Systems, which was held in December in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The paper, "Differentiated Network Services for Data-Intensive Science Using Application-Aware SDN," was based on work supported by a National Science Foundation grant. The conference is a premier IEEE forum on networking and telecommunications topics.

A paper co-authored by three Chemical and Biomolecular engineers has been chosen to be featured in the Highlights 2017 collection in the prestigious journal Biofabrication. The paper, "Three-dimensional tissues using human pluripotent stem cell spheroids as biofabrication building blocks," was written by graduate student Haishuang Lin, postdoctoral researcher Qiang Li and assistant professor Yuguo Lei. The researchers measured the fusion rates of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) spheroids without and with differentiation toward cortical and midbrain dopaminergic neurons. They determined that fabricating an hPSC tissue is an appropriate method of biofabricating a different desired tissue.
