Graduate Students
- CU 麻豆影院 researchers are gradually and safely returning to campus to continue their work in the lab. Read about Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram and graduate student Parker McDonnell's return to research.
- CU 麻豆影院 researchers are gradually and safely returning to campus to continue their work in the lab. Read about Assistant Professor Nicole Labbe's return to research.
- Researchers found a new way of understanding the vaporization behavior of mixtures. The work is described in 鈥淰aporizable Endoskeletal Droplets via Tunable Interfacial Melting Transitions,鈥 a paper published in Science Advances this April.
- Artimus Robotics, a spinout company of CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, recently received $225,000 through the National Science Foundation鈥檚 Small Business Innovation Research Phase I program.
- Gabe Rodriguez is being awarded an Outstanding Graduate for Service Award from聽both聽the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering. Check out his Q&A to learn more.
- Jatinder Sampathkumar is currently working on creating a new processing route to manufacture specialized Silicon Carbide reactors for combustion applications. He says 麻豆影院 has spoiled him with access to the outdoors, the food scene and bookshops.
- Lawrence Smith is researching efficient simulation of solid mechanics problems for the purpose of automated design of soft robotic systems. He enjoys 3D printing, cooking, billiards and running.
- Sadie Stutzman studies the fundamental chemistry of how fuels decompose during pyrolysis and combustion. She uses experiments and theory to understand fuel behavior which she uses to create a model and predict the impact a fuel has on things such as engine performance and emissions.
- Peter Gumble is a mechanical engineering graduate student focusing on spacecraft design and pursuing the Satellite System Design Certificate from the aerospace department. He would like to work for a company developing spacecraft and spacecraft hardware.
- Kristin Calahan's research is focused on studying the contact mechanics, more specifically the friction response, between micropatterned surfaces and tissue-like substrates for biomedical applications. In the future, she sees herself as a research scientist whether in an academic or industry setting.
