Effective revascularization of the inj ured myocardium is\nessential to restore tissue viability and preserve car diac function.\nIn this talk\, I will present our strategies for engineeri ng hydrogel\nplatforms to actively promote revascularization. We developed a\ncomputationally designed affinity-based delivery system to precisely\n regulate the presentation of proangiogenic growth factors\, and\noptimized matrix properties to support the transplantation and\nfunctional integrat ion of CD34⁺ vascular progenitor cells. Together\,\nthese approaches aim to create a regenerative microenvironment capable\nof driving robust and functional vascularization.\n\nBiography:\n\nDr. Yuan Yao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical\nEngineering and Division of Car diology at University of British\nColumbia. She graduated from University of ݮƵ\, supervised by Dr.\nEvelyn Yim\, and completed her postdoctor al training with Dr. Molly\nShoichet in the Department of Chemical Enginee ring at University of\nToronto. Her lab is located at the Center for Heart Lung Innovation at\nthe St Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.\n\nHer researc h focuses on engineered biomaterials and biofabrication\napproaches for ca rdiovascular repair and regeneration.\n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829806f6d29a DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250415T133000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250415T143000 URL:/chemical-engineering/events/masc-oral-exam-enhanci ng-graphene-based-supercapacitor-ionic SUMMARY:MASc Oral Exam| Enhancing Graphene-Based Supercapacitor with Ionic\ nLiquid/Surfactant Electrolyte by Structural Characterization and\nModific ation by Tianyu Liu CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nEnhancing Graphene-Based Supercapacitor with Ionic Liquid/Surfactant\nElectrolyte by Structural Characterization and Modifica tion\n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829806f6d9c3 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250410T153000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250410T163000 URL:/chemical-engineering/events/graduate-seminar-unloc king-material-designs-smart-tools-and SUMMARY:Graduate Seminar| Unlocking Material Designs with Smart Tools and\n Machine Learning\, by Professor Frank Gu CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nUnlocking Material Designs with Smart Tools and Mac hine Learning\n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829806f6e15c DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250414T023000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250414T033000 URL:/chemical-engineering/events/masc-oral-exam-injecta ble-filamentous-and-conductive-carbon SUMMARY:MASc Oral Exam| Injectable Filamentous and Conductive Carbon Nanotu be\nHydrogels for Improving Cardiac Function after Myocardial Infarction\n by Negar Akbarnia CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nInjectable Filamentous and Conductive Carbon Nanotu be Hydrogels for\nImproving Cardiac Function after Myocardial Infarction.\ n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829806f6e8bf DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250415T093000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250415T103000 URL:/chemical-engineering/events/masc-oral-exam-develop ment-carbon-based-materials-improved SUMMARY:MASc Oral Exam| Development of Carbon-Based Materials for Improved\ nSodium-Ion Battery Anodes by Casey Dudding CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nDevelopment of Carbon-Based Materials for Improved Sodium-Ion Battery\nAnodes\n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829806f6efc9 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250326T150000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250326T160000 URL:/chemical-engineering/events/seminar-local-mixed-in teger-nonlinear-programming-minlp SUMMARY:Seminar: Local Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (Minlp) Through\ nOrdered-Discrete Variable Decomposition: A New Paradigm For Minlp\nOptimi zation In Chemical Engineering\, by Dr. David Liñán Romero CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nAn online seminar presented by David Liñán Romero on Local\nMixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (Minlp) Through Ordered-Dis crete\nVariable Decomposition: A New Paradigm For Minlp Optimization In\nC hemical Engineering\n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829806f6f6e9 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250428T123000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250428T153000 URL:/chemical-engineering/events/phd-comprehensive-exfo liation-effects-langmuir-films-and SUMMARY:PhD Comprehensive| Exfoliation Effects\, Langmuir Films and Device by\nTeri Siu CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nThesis Proposal Title: Exfoliation Effects\, Langmu ir Films and Device\n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829806f6fdaf DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250422T130000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250422T160000 URL:/chemical-engineering/events/phd-comprehensive-func tional-hybrid-materials-through-multi SUMMARY:PhD Comprehensive| Functional Hybrid Materials Through Multi-sale\n Materials Design by Shakiba Samsami CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nThesis Proposal Title: Functional Hybrid Materials Through Multi-sale\nMaterials Design\n DTSTAMP:20250518T063839Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
