Fascinating faculty
Faculty Dialogues puts you in the room with cutting-edge researchers
By Michael Pound
Faculty Dialogues, Carnegie Mellon’s signature academic program for alumni, allows you to hear directly from innovative faculty as they discuss their research and how it is changing the world for the better in exciting webinar presentations.
The dialogues began this semester with “CMU-Africa — Developing African Solutions to Global Problems,” during which CMU-Africa faculty discussed how framing their research through the lens of the continent’s societal norms and cultural considerations gives them and their students the ability to develop solutions to global problems in a uniquely African way.

Revolutionizing Brain Injury Care: Noninvasive Solutions for Diagnosis and Treatment
The outcome of a brain injury is notoriously difficult to predict. Some patients recover fully, others suffer from effects throughout their lives. The talk will present novel noninvasive technologies to improve patient stratification and, separately, a new technique for brain stimulation that can help improve outcomes for those suffering from executive function deficits following the injury. Hosted by Pulkit Grover, Angel Jordan Associate Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Carnegie Mellon Neuroscience Institute.
Event recording coming soon.
