Assistant Secretary Katie Jereza of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity recently visited Carnegie Mellon University to engage with stakeholders doing groundbreaking work on some of the timeliest power and electricity focus areas.

The visit, hosted by the Scott Institute for Energy Innovation, included two roundtable research discussions with faculty that centered on themes of large load integration and electricity affordability. These robust conversations underscored the College's motto of advanced collaboration and also demonstrated CMU's aptitude for producing rigorous research findings that can be complementary to discussions about critical energy problem-solving at a national level.

As National Sickle Cell Awareness Month comes to a close, we are highlighting promising research and advocacy work from Carnegie Mellon University's Biomedical Engineering.
Ph.D. student Lara Abdelmohsen, advised by assistant professors Sossena Wood and Noelia Grande Gutiérrez, was lead author on a paper in Annals of Biomedical Engineering about stroke risk in adults with sickle cell disease. She's spent the last several months sharing the research at various conferences and events. "We are doing all this cool work," said Abdelmohsen. "But if no one knows what we are doing, it won't go anywhere."

From the lab and simulations to the clinic, students help bring faculty research on sickle cell disease into the spotlight with medical conference presentations and publications in engineering journals.
