Why the Century of Biology
Is Great for Engineering

From the Industrial Revolution through the Information Age, each era has brought remarkable leaps in technology and wide-ranging benefits for society. Today, it’s biology that poses the big questions and big opportunities. Agilent Technologies is at the forefront of this revolution, exemplifying engineering innovations that are key to biology-based, life-changing advances in areas such as health care, energy and the environment.

The event is co-sponsored by the Berkeley chapter of Eta Kappa Nu (HKN), the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honor Society.


The Ernest S. Kuh Distinguished Lecture Series is made possible by the generosity of Professor Emeritus and Mrs. Ernest Kuh. It is held annually and features an accomplished engineering professional from industry or academia. Individuals wishing to nominate a speaker for consideration should contact Enid Pollack at epollack@berkeley.edu or (510) 642-2257.
