Innovation Series:

Surface Textures for Bioengineering

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

WPI Campus Center, Odeum

Innovation Series


The 5th year of the research and educational seminar held by the WPI Surface Metrology Laboratory will explore a new format that stresses innovation. The first day will emphasize surface textures for bioengineering applications, including biomedical devices, and the second day will emphasize abrasion of surfaces for sealing. The innovation sessions will attempt to work towards solutions for industrial problems in design, manufacturing, and QA. 

The first day will be the Surface Textures for Bioengineering Seminar. Information on the second day can be found here: Abrasive Processes and Seals  

Thursday 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM:
Includes: breakfast, lunch, and reception (5pm-7pm), a tutorial by Prof. Chris Brown taking a fresh look at the fundamentals of surface metrology for bioengineering, presentations by Dr. Ted Vorberger of NIST and Dr. Adam Hacking of Harvard, an innovation session with the above plus representatives from metrology OEMs such as, Olympus Surgical & Industrial and more.
