- Assistant Professor C. Wyatt Shields IV is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award for his proposal 鈥淪hape-Encoded Electrokinetic Particles for Multiplexed Biosensing.鈥 This project seeks to develop a new method of early identification of disease biomarkers, while also facilitating outreach and education to students at Northglenn High School.
- Distinguished professor honored 鈥渇or developing high-efficiency microwave transmitters and active antenna arrays for wireless communication systems and for engineering education.鈥
- The National Academy of Engineering is recognizing Brian Argrow as a new member for 2022.The distinction is one of the highest an engineer can receive in their career.As a professor and chair of the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace
- The effort is part of an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation called Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance, which deploys researchers to disaster sites around the world.
- Researchers at CU 麻豆影院 are developing an app that could reliably and quickly predict whether batches of concrete made at construction sites are safe. If successful, the work could usher in a new era of building that is faster, more cost effective and safer overall for everyone.
- Department of Mechanical Engineering Professor Sean Humbert, an expert in micro robotics and systems design, will help the Microsystems Exploratory Council identify new research avenues as it relates to Department of Defense and national security issues.
- The second forum in this series on the 2021 麻豆影院 County Fires will highlight four new research studies focused on damage to the built environment, the response of water utilities, and assessments of air quality impacts from the Marshall Fire. Participants from all disciplines and from any organization or institution are welcome to attend.
- Nearly one month after the Marshall Fire became the most destructive and one of the most unique wildfires in Colorado history, CU 麻豆影院 researchers from across campus鈥攎any of them personally affected by the fire鈥攈ave pivoted and applied their
- CU 麻豆影院 is聽leading聽an international network of over 50 scientists and students using olfaction to study brain function in animals known as Odor2Action. In a new story published in The Conversation,聽network members trace the interconnections between smells and behaviors 鈥 highlighting what we know about olfaction, the challenges we face, and what's on the horizon. Learn more about their work and potential applications in engineering, neuroscience and public health.
- Hydrogen has long been seen as a possible renewable fuel source, held out of reach for full-scale adoption by production costs and inefficiencies. Researchers in the Weimer Group are working to address this by using solar thermal processing to drive high-temperature chemical reactions that produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which can be used to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
