Professors Mark Borden and Mark Rentschler have been inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows. The program is among the highest professional distinctions given to medical and biological engineers, representing the top 2% of these engineers around the world.
Professor Massimo Ruzzene is the senior vice chancellor for research and innovation. His goal is to foster a campus environment that turns research into real-world impact in areas such as quantum, space, climate and health.
CU 麻豆影院 is a hub for sustainable entrepreneurship. Spinouts such as Associate Professor Greg Rieker's LongPath Technologies, Professor Se-Hee Lee's Solid Power and Associate Professor Chunmei Ban's Mana Battery are just some of the university's latest successful ventures motivated by protecting the environment.
A new CU 麻豆影院-led study, headlined by Professor Shelly Miller, shows that Denver residents in marginalized areas of the city are more likely to be exposed to odor emitting facilities. However, these communities are also the least likely to report these odors to the city, a statistic that Miller and her colleagues would like to see change.
Assistant Professor Debanjan Mukherjee and Associate Professor Marina Vance have both been selected as 2025 RIO Faculty Fellows. The program supports faculty in achieving their research and innovation goals and promotes collaboration through tailored training, experiential learning and leadership development opportunities.
Associate Professor Jianliang Xiao is a 鈥渕echanics of materials鈥 expert launching innovations in soft materials and flexible electronics who has been selected as a senior member in the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). The program recognizes rising innovators who have had success securing patents, licensing and commercialization for developed technologies that showcase real impact on the welfare of society.
Research Professor Christine Wiedinmyer is an atmospheric expert whose research investigates the impact of air pollutants on air quality, climate and public health. In this article by The Conversation, Wiedinmyer gives a behind-the-scenes look at how NOAA forecasters use technology to predict the weather, and how important they are to the fabric of our everyday life.
Assistant Professor Chahat Singh is pioneering advancements in bio-inspired robotics and resource-constrained AI. His work focuses on developing small, autonomous drones capable of solving global challenges, such as pollinating crops and navigating wildfire zones.
Living organisms have evolved across the span of millions of years to do things that are nearly impossible even for today's machines. But what happens when you combine biology and engineering to create more capable robots? Assistant Professor Nicole Xu shares her lab's efforts to create the next generation of cyborg jellyfish explorers.
Professor Sean Humbert is being awarded a five-year, $909,000 grant to make robotic advancements in flight physics and aerial systems. How? By unlocking the biological secrets of your common, everyday housefly.
