Diabetes Data Analysis Will Lead to Improved Glucose Monitoring and Insulin Delivery
TROY, N.Y. — The lives of people with Type 1 diabetes could be significantly enhanced through algorithms that connect glucose monitors and insulin pumps to automatically regulate blood glucose to healthy levels, in the same fashion that cruise control in an automobile regulates speed.
SABIC has an opening for a chemical engineering who is early in their career. A BS in Chemical Engineering with 3 years of experience is required.
Manipulating Light-Matter Interaction Unlocks Properties for Quantum Information Storage and Computing
TROY, N.Y. – Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have come up with a way to manipulate tungsten diselenide (WSe2) —a promising two-dimensional material—to further unlock its potential to enable faster, more efficient computing, and even quantum information processing and storage. Their findings were published today in Nature Communications.
According to a recent study done by HeyTutor, data from the U.S. Cenus Bureau and the National Center for Education Statistics was used to determine which college majors weild the highest wages. Chemical Engineering falls at the number 1 slot with a median early career wage of $68,000 and a mid-career wage of $103,000. Read the full story at HeyTutor.
Greg Russotti, a graduate of the RPI CBE program, will be presenting this year's Design Day Seminar.

Alternate Delivery Locations Are Viable Options To Offset Negative Impacts of Increased Home Deliveries
As the demand for home deliveries from online purchases continues to increase, Cara Wang, an associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Woojung Kim, a doctoral student in the same department at Rensselaer, recently published research showing that some, but not all consumers, will accept going to alternate delivery locations to get their packages rather than having them delivered directly to their front door.
