Research Summary

(Archived Spring 2024)

Professor Mann is interested in two areas: low band gap organometallic and organic materials for transistors, and light emitting diodes and solar cells and new vapochromic and vapo-luminescent compounds for electronic nose sensor arrays. He uses a combination of organic and organometallic chemistry, X-ray crystallography, electrochemistry, UV-vis and emission spectroscopy methods to study these problems. Structures of a…

Brittany Hartwell
She/Her

Biomedical Engineering

Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering

Research Interests:

Dr. Hartwell began her BME faculty appointment in Fall 2021.

The Hartwell Immunoengineering Lab combines perspectives from biomolecular engineering, drug delivery, and immunology to develop antigen-specific immunotherapies and vaccines for applications in autoimmunity, cancer, and infectious disease. Our research focuses on the design and development of molecules that achieve targeted and controlled modulation of the immune system in an antigen-specific manner, directing the immune…

Zhang

Industrial and Systems Engineering

Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science

Research Interests:

Our research in the area of process systems engineering lies at the intersection of chemical engineering and operations research, focusing on computational discovery and decision making in complex process systems. We develop mathematical models and algorithms capable of considering intricate decision processes, incorporating uncertainty and active learning, capturing interactions between multiple agents, and solving large-scale real-world optimization problems.

Stevie Chancellor
She/Her

Data Science Initiative

Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering

Research Interests:

Chancellor builds and critically evaluates human-centered artificial intelligence (AI) for high-risk health behaviors in online communities. Using machine learning, she uses digital trace data from millions of interactions on social media to identify high-risk behaviors. At the same time, she critically evaluates these predictive approaches and develops more ethical and compassionate research practices for computer science. She is especially interested in dangerous behaviors like pro-eating…

Thomas Schwartzentruber

Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics

Professor, Distinguished McKnight University Professor

Research Interests:

Research Page | UMN Experts Page

Professor Schwartzentruber utilizes particle simulation methods to model non-equilibrium and chemically reacting gas flows. Non-equilibrium flow occurs when the mean-free-path between molecular collisions in a gas is no longer negligible compared to length-…

Ce Yang headshot

Data Science Initiative

Assistant Professor, Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering

Research Interests:

Yang leads the Agricultural Robotics Lab. The lab's mission is to apply advanced ideas of robotics, remote sensing, data mining and information technology into precision agriculture. The core techniques we use include multispectral/hyperspectral imaging, spectroscopy, machine learning, geographic information system (GIS), digital mapping, biochemical sensing, etc. The tools available in the lab are unmanned aerial vehicle, unmanned ground vehicle, video camera, multispectral camera,…
