Dean Frank Doyle of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Robotics, Bioengineering, & the Importance of a Liberal Arts Environment: Convergence at Harvard SEAS
The Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is at an inflection point - collaboration within Harvard and beyond enables us to explore new pathways to address climate change, cure chronic diseases, ensure cybersecurity, and deliver critical improvements for millions on our planet. These unique opportunities result not only from the convergence of engineering and the applied sciences with the life and physical sciences, but from embedding engineering with design, business, law, and the arts and humanities.
Welcome to the age of convergence, where Harvard Engineering faculty and students from a broad range of disciplines are creating novel robots using new materials and cutting-edge fabrication techniques – robots that creep, crawl, swim, fly, and are even capable of traveling through your body to perform non-invasive surgery. Harvard engineers are also creating devices, systems, and approaches that push the boundaries of drug delivery, repair of damaged tissue and organs, and cancer vaccines. Harvard innovations such as the octobot and the artificial pancreas have the potential to define new fields of science and address pressing challenges in health and medicine. Frank Doyle, Dean of the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, will discuss how SEAS is positioned to address these challenges while pushing the frontiers of knowledge and creating practical applications that benefit society.

Profile
Frank Doyle assumed the deanship of the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences on July 1, 2015. A distinguished scholar in chemical engineering, he previously served as associate dean for research at the University of California, Santa Barbara’s College of Engineering, where he has served as chair of the department of chemical engineering.
As a scholar, Doyle applies systems engineering principles to the analysis of regulatory mechanisms in biological systems. His work includes the design of drug-delivery devices for diabetes; modeling, analysis, and control of gene regulatory networks underlying circadian rhythms; and computational analysis for developing diagnostics for post-traumatic stress disorder. Doyle also applies control schemes to nonlinear, multivariable, constrained industrial processes such as particulate systems and pulp and paper operations, and works on control aspects of sheet/film processes.
