Research
- A multi-university research team, including engineers and physicists from CU Â鶹ӰԺ, will build technology and tools to improve measurement of important climate factors by observing atoms in outer space.
- Proposals for the 2023-24 faculty led CU Â鶹ӰԺ Outreach Awards are due by 5 p.m. on April 14.
- New research from the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering into biodegradable senors may change the way farmers track, measure, and respond in real time to their soil’s microbial activity with big implications for addressing global greenhouse gas emissions.
- Daniel Acuña, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Colorado, was recently featured on a podcast from The Conversation.
- CU Â鶹ӰԺ researchers and students have engineered soybeans that produce cancer drugs, vaccine ingredients and nutritional compounds more sustainably.
- Professor Scott Diddams has been selected for the 2023 C.E.K. Mees Medal from Optica (formerly OSA) for his pioneering innovations leading to the wide-ranging application of optical frequency combs to ultrafast lasers, optical clocks, spectroscopy, microwave synthesis, and astronomy.
- A team of biologists and engineers at CU Â鶹ӰԺ recently led an exercise class for tiny worms—and their findings could one day help doctors treat humans with Parkinson’s disease and similar illnesses.
- Everything CU Â鶹ӰԺ engineering students learn culminates in capstone design projects, presented at the annual Engineering Projects Expo. This year's event will feature projects from mechanical engineering; computer science; electrical, computer and energy engineering; biomedical engineering, and creative technology & design.
- The intent of the Colorado WASH Symposium is to provide a platform for sharing and expanding collective knowledge in the field of water, sanitation, and hygiene in both domestic and international contexts. The symposium brings together leaders and WASH practitioners in social enterprises, the private sector, NGOs, academia, and development agencies.
- Robyn Macdonald is an assistant professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department at CU Â鶹ӰԺ. Her research interests include hypersonic flows, computation of chemically reacting flows, chemical kinetics, and radiation modeling.
