Registration required.

Join us for this virtual program featuring Dartmouth engineering faculty member, Professor Rahul Sarpeshkar. Learn about recent breakthrough research and innovative solutions to tackle difficult problems in the area of therapeutics.

Professor Sarpeshkar will describe his research on drug cocktail treatments that may be effective in treating COVID-19. Through his research, he has invented analog circuits as well as ‘cytomorphic’ supercomputing electronic chips and prototypes that simulate cellular computation for potentially rapid drug discovery. Sarpeshkar is also working on developing his analog cytomorphic supercomputer to act as a one-of-a-kind smart search engine that could identify potential treatments to all diseases extremely rapidly. He hopes that in a few years, he will be able to identify possible treatments to pandemics within just one day.
