Skule Lunch & Learn Presents: Magnetic Fields Control Tiny Robots in the Gut & Brain to Support Micro-Scale Surgery

October 12, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Thanks to advances in technology and medical research, micro-scale mobile robots now have the ability for 3D motion through the human body. Join us on October 12 as Professor Eric Diller discusses and demonstrates how his tiny machines are controlled remotely using magnetic fields to help with neurosurgery and diagnosis in the gut.

After the hybrid presentation, in-person guests are invited to enjoy a delicious assortment of hors d’oeuvres and drinks while they network and watch live research demonstrations from Professor Eric Diller and two of his Ph.D. students.
