SUMMARY:Biomedical Imaging with MEMS -day3
DESCRIPTION:Course unit contentsThis course explores Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for biomedical imaging and their integration into next-generation diagnostic systems\, focusing on ultrasound and Terahertz (THz) radiation. The curriculum provides the analytical and methodological tools required to design\, model\, and characterize MEMS-based transducers for ultrasound imaging and Terahertz imaging for clinical applications. \nThe course introduces biomedical imaging techniques\, describing the primary role of MEMS devices in both traditional and emerging imaging modalities. The program covers MEMS technology\, discussing different modeling approaches and describing the microfabrication processes that transform Silicon into 3D resonating microstructures. Proposed MEMS transducers modeling methodologies include analytical models based on linear systems theory\, lumped-parameter equivalent circuits\, and Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. \nLearning goalsBy the end of the course\, participants will have acquired a comprehensive understanding of MEMS operating principles in the biomedical field. Students will develop advanced skills in creating circuital models for micro-electro-mechanical resonators\, as well as multiphysics FEM models featuring electro-mechano-acoustic and thermos-opto-mechanical coupling. Additionally\, attendees will understand the primary figures of merit necessary to evaluate the performance of MEMS-based systems in ultrasound and Terahertz imaging applications. \nSuggested readingsBrenner\, K.; Ergun\, A.S.; Firouzi\, K.; Rasmussen\, M.F.; Stedman\, Q.; Khuri–Yakub\, B.

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry and Technology - day 1
DESCRIPTION:Course contentsThis course explores the fundamental principles of sustainable chemistry and engineering\, focusing on the design of products and processes that minimize environmental impact. The programme bridges theoretical foundations with industrial applications\, providing doctoral candidates with the methodologies required to evaluate and implement “green” innovation in chemical production. \nThe curriculum provides an introduction to green chemistry and sustainable technology\, examining the relationship between chemical engineering and environmental preservation. Key topics include the principles of green nanotechnology—focusing on nanomaterials derived from green sources—and sustainable approaches to energy production\, such as fuel cells. A significant portion of the programme is dedicated to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the use of green metrics to evaluate the environmental performance of chemical processes. Through laboratory sessions\, students will gain hands-on experience in calculating the “greenness” of products\, ensuring they are equipped with the quantitative tools necessary to support sustainable industrial workflows. \nLearning goalsBy the conclusion of the course\, students will master the core principles of green chemistry and engineering. Participants will acquire the analytical capability to perform preliminary assessments of the “greenness” of materials and processes. The goal is to develop a critical understanding of sustainable development\, enabling future researchers to design chemical systems that are both functionally optimized and environmentally responsible. \nReadingsAnastas\, P.
