Darren J. Lipomi is a Professor in the Department of NanoEngineering and Programs in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at UC San Diego. He earned his PhD in chemistry from Harvard University in 2010 (with George Whitesides) and was an Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University from 2010-2012 (with Zhenan Bao). He currently directs a research group at UC San Diego that works in the areas of soft electronics for solar cells, biosensors, and artificial touch. His research group's website can be found at lipomigroup.org.
Hello Mr. Lipomi! I am an aspiring engineer from Brazil, and identify with a lot of the things you wrote. Is there any way to obtain this book via PDF or to import it? Thank you and congratulations to both of you for the effort!
That's a good idea! ChE curricula tend to just get right into it without an overview course of applications, etc. Sometimes programs have it, but it's generally not a 4-credit (full) course.
Congratulations! I can't write a book because I don't know anything about any topic (PhD student). Quick joke question: before you had the idea to write your book, did someone ever surprise you with the "you should write a book" compliment? Or did you think the idea yourself, and feign surprise?
Thanks! Yeah, haha. I definitely couldn't have done it without teaching the course 10 times and basically having it all in my head already. Yeah people said "I should write a book" mainly taking my professional development seminars and converting them into a "survival guide" for PhD students.
the stretching is actually a compression . The molecules are compressed inwards along the length and compression of a gas , at least , produces heat . The total energy doesn't change . The energy of the molecules is distributed over a smaller area . Therefore the heat transfer per area is greater
Thanks! I have my own textbook now, Introduction to Nanoengineering, on Amazon or Royal Society of Chemistry, by Lipomi and Ramji :) The book I was using then was the book Nanotechnology by Rogers et al.
Best of luck to you in Rochester! It was great to connect with you at the AFOSR review meetings and I hope you continue producing content that’s helpful for so many people
Thanks Wilson! likewise great to connect with you over the years. Keep me apprised of where you're headed and thanks for the positive comments about my videos!
That's very nice. Professor is teaching higly skilled people how to earn less money by becoming post-doc and a slave labor for the corrupted system. The salaries are really low in academia. Long working hours are generally demanded. There is no work-life balance and academic faculty positions are rare. Academic system is favouring toxic PIs and work environment. There is no job security. What's the point of staying in academia. Post-doc is a highly skilled cheap labour work. Unless, there are changes in the academic system, no one will want to do post-doc. But I forget, sure developed countries like US, can recruit cheap post-doc labour from China and India. This is now the modernized main way of exploitation of other countries resources by causing brain-drain. For what? Of course for the advancement of universities and PIs reputation. For post-docs, publish more earn less and for PIs publish more and promote your career and earn more.
Hi Prof. Lipomi, I really appreciate you for introducing the term " Just world hypothesis". In my experience, "Just world hypothesis" works okay till some point but definitely seems failing after grad school. Also, I liked the idea of "1st impression is overrated". As an introvert, I appreciate this lecture (especially examples of failed attempts and overcoming them) and your reasoning-its helpful for me.
I contend that what is going on is that here is some type of minor chemical reaction going on, with more hydrogen bonding in the stretched state than in the jumbled state. I don't think the statistical mechanics model works here.
Congrats! Im entering as an engineering PhD student in the fall to ucsd and your grad app videos were super helpful. I happened to revisit your channel on the day you post a video on you leaving so an odd coincidence.. good luck in NY!
Wow! I went to University of Rochester for undergrad! I have been watching you since I was a sophomore in undergrad… You’ve helped me a lot in my undergrad and during my PhD application process. I am currently a 2nd year PhD student at USC. Rochester is a great place, enjoy the bike paths! There’s a TON of bike paths (compared to LA at least)
it depends but no you wouldn't likely have a burst effect on liposomes in the case of hydrophobic drug, you drug actually would be protected by the hydrophilic layer of the vesicle, and it also worth mentionning that this also depends on the delivery routes.
This was very insightful and helpful! I just got an invitation from a professor to join her lab as an RA. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START. This really helped. I will be taking the opportunity. I may even enjoy it. Thank you!
