Rudolph M. Navari, M.D., Ph.D., ’66 Professor, Chemistry and Biochemistry Biography Rudy Navari is a medical oncologist who joined the faculty of the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame in 1999 to direct the Walther Cancer Research Center. He is now the clinical director of the newly formed Harper Cancer Research Institute. In addition to teaching courses on the American healthcare system, he has active clinical research programs in drug development, palliative care, cancer genetics, and the doctor-patient relationship. Navari has published more than 100 research papers, with the most recent dealing with supportive-care issues in clinical oncology. Lectures Cancer Research at Notre Dame Major cancer research at Notre Dame includes basic and clinical research in colon cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer; design and development of new cancer drugs; and the development of new communication techniques to improve the doctorpatient relationship in cancer care. This lecture provides details of these efforts, which are at the leading edge of cancer research in the world. Clinical Medical Ethics Controversial healthcare issues, such as gene therapy, human organ transplantation, physician-assisted suicide, euthanasia, the human-genome project, managed care health systems, and the distribution of healthcare resources, are all subjects that require an examination from a philosophical, theological, and socio-economic perspective. This lecture provides an introduction to the basic principles of clinical-medical ethics, and how these principles apply to contemporary healthcare issues, such as health care reform. 70 The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2013 Program Categories Ethics, Notre Dame, Science
Robert Charles Nelson, Ph.D., ’64, ’66 M.S. Professor, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Biography Robert Nelson received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Notre Dame (1964, 1966) and his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from Pennsylvania State University (1974). Before joining Notre Dame, Nelson was an instructor of aerospace engineering at Pennsylvania State University and later worked as an engineer at the U.S. Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory (AFFDL) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. In 1975, Nelson joined the faculty at Notre Dame and has been active in research that focuses on the aerodynamics and flight mechanics of aircraft. His present research interest focuses on improving large wind turbine performance. In his time at Notre Dame, he has had more than 45 research grants sponsored by NASA, NSF, AFOSR, ARO, ONR, the Institute for Aerospace Research in Canada, and the McDonnell Douglas Corporation. Nelson has directed 25 master’s and 10 Ph.D. students, and was the co-advisor for five other Ph.D. students. He has published more than 150 journal and conference papers, and he has received one national and four department and University teaching awards. Nelson is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). In 1997, he was elected to the grade of fellow of the AIAA. Lecture Wind Energy Research at Notre Dame−Developing a Better Energy Source Categories Engineering, Notre Dame The major challenges of this century will be to provide enough energy, water, and food without harming the environment and depleting these resources for future generations. Renewal energy sources such as wind and solar energy must play a more important role in our energy future. This presentation will focus on the potential of wind power. Today, wind power only contributes about 2% of the electrical power generated in the United States, however our country has excellent wind resources that potentially could provide up to 20% of our electrical power need. These are many issues and challenges that need to be addressed in order to increase wind power to such a level. One of the most important challenges is to make the cost of generating electricity from wind turbines to be competitive with nuclear, gas, or coal powered plants. Research at the University of Notre Dame has shown that significant improvement can be made in wind turbine energy capture. The improvement is accomplished by incorporating unique devices on the turbine blades to control the flow over the blades and thereby the aerodynamics of the blades. The Notre Dame study has shown that future wind turbine designs that incorporate active aerodynamic load control have the potential of lowering the acquisition and operating costs of the wind turbine system. These cost reductions will make wind generated electrical power very competitive with electrical power plants that use coal. The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2013 Program 71
