Children's Respiratory Particle Emissions

Image

An article published by a research team, which includes Prof. Byron Erath, in the journal Aerosol Science and Technology explains its findings that age influences the size and quantity of respiratory particle emissions in humans during activities, with children releasing fewer and smaller particles than adults. Thus, incorporating age demographics into disease transmission models may improve their accuracy.

Distinguished Lectureship Series

Clarkson University Distinguished Research Professor of Engineering Liya L. Regel has provided a generous gift to support the New Horizons in Engineering Distinguished Lectureship Series at Clarkson University, which she created in 2010.

As the chair of the series, Regel has orchestrated campus visits since 2010 by nationally renowned engineers and scientists. These visits include presentations on important trends in engineering to Clarkson students, faculty and staff, and community members.

To date, many distinguished speakers have shared their expertise, including leading world-renowned scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Livermore National Laboratory, MIT, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, University of Houston and more.

Most are members of the National Academy of Engineering. Topics have included “Engineering a Sustainable Future: The Role of Science and Technology,” “Materials Engineering Challenges in Fission and Fusion Energy,” “Re-Inventing Urban Water Infrastructure,” “Grand Challenges for Engineering and Beyond”, “ Does Physics Still Matter?” and more.

New Horizons in Engineering has three goals: to introduce students and faculty to eminent engineers and their achievements; to stimulate our thinking about the latest engineering advances and visions of the future; and to provide these distinguished engineers with lasting memories of Clarkson's campus, research, and student activities.
