SUMMARY:BE Seminar: Surgical Robotics: A Journey Across Scales
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Sarthak Misra\nProf. Satish Dhawan Visiting Chair Professor \nDate: 25th April 2024 \nTime: 2.30 pm – 3.30 pm \nVenue: DBG Seminar Hall \nTitle: Surgical Robotics: A Journey Across Scales \nSummary: This talk will provide an overview of ongoing work at the Surgical Robotics Laboratory. It covers topics ranging from the design of macro-scale flexible/continuum surgical instruments to the fabrication and control of futuristic medical micro-robots. Prof. Misra has been recently invited to IISc as a Prof. Satish Dhawan Visiting Chair Professor. This is his first lecture as part of his appointment at IISc. \nAbout the Speaker: Prof. Sarthak Misra joined the University of Twente in 2009. He is currently a Full Professor in the Department of Biomechanical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering Technology. He is also affiliated with the Department of Biomaterials and Biomedical Technology\, University of Groningen\, and University Medical Center Groningen. He leads the Surgical Robotics Laboratory. Prof. Sarthak obtained his doctoral degree in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, USA. Prior to commencing his studies at Johns Hopkins\, he worked for three years as a dynamics and controls analyst at MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates on the International Space Station Program. Prof. Sarthak received his Master of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University\, Montreal\, Canada. He is the recipient of the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator\, Starting and Proof-of-Concept grants\, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) VENI and VIDI awards\, Link Foundation fellowship\, McGill Major fellowship\, and NASA Space Flight Awareness award. He is the co-chair of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Technical Committee on Surgical Robotics\, and area co-chair of the IFAC Technical Committee on Biological and Medical Systems. Sarthak’s broad research interests are primarily in the area of applied mechanics at both macro and micro scales. He is interested in the modeling and control of electro-mechanical systems with applications to medical robotics.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: The story of giant bacteriophage phiKZ and its potential usage as antimicrobials source
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Maria Yakunina \nLeader of research group\, \nLaboratory of molecular microbiology\, Institute of Nanobiotechnologies\, Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University \nTitle: The story of giant bacteriophage phiKZ and its potential usage as antimicrobials source \nAbstract: Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria\, serving as their natural enemies and our potential allies. Due to the constant arms race occurring in the microcosm\, bacteriophages possess a vast array of tools to invade bacterial cells and utilize them for reproduction. In the seminar\, I will discuss the giant bacteriophage phiKZ\, which fundamentally alters the bacterial cell during infection. I will also talk about our current research focused on discovering the mechanisms through which the phage halts the life of a bacterial cell and how we can apply this knowledge. \nAbout the speaker: Maria Yakunina is a leader of the laboratory of molecular microbiology at the Institute of Nanobiotechnologies\, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University\, Russia.
