Klaus Lackner’s ASU KEDtalk: Carbon is a terrible thing to waste

November 16, 2017

Klaus Lackner, Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering professor of civil, environmental and sustainable engineering and director of Arizona State University's Center for Negative Carbon Emissions, asks "We clean up our trash. Why not clean up after our carbon use?" in an ASU KEDtalk hosted by ASU's Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development.

Caption: Despite the popularity of transcranial electrical stimulation, or tES, in experimental applications, exactly how electricity travels through the brain is not well understood. With the aid of a $2 million award from the National Institutes of Health, Assistant Professor Rosalind Sadleir hopes to discover how current makes its way through our minds and in doing so, potentially unlock new insights into brain stimulation research and treatments.

A group of ethnically diverse students gather around a table, displaying the "pitchfork," Arizona State University's signature hand gesture. On the table sits a LEGO robot, and the students are surrounded by tools and equipment. The caption reads: Above: A group of first-generation students pose for a photo during their FSE-100 class. Enrollment of first generation-students has steadily increased in recent years, but retainment remains an issue, with first-gen students 20 percent less likely to complete their degrees in engineering compared to students whose parents attained degrees. But thanks to a recent investment by the National Science Foundation, Arizona State University has embarked on an ambitious project to develop mechanisms, systems and programs to increase persistence of these students as well as cast a wider net to attract underrepresented groups to engineering and STEM careers. Photo by Jessica Hochreiter/ASU
