Project Description Helical particles made of a composite polymer material and paramagnetic nanoparticles can be driven to propel by the torque induced from the continuous misalignment of the magnetization of the particles with a rotating magnetic field, thus mimicking the mechanism of bacterial motion through flagella and cilia rotation. While...

Project Description This project will require you to learn how to synthesize microbubbles and isolate them by size using centrifugation. You will also learn how to observe them under the microscope and measure their size distribution. You will then learn how to use a high-intensity focused ultrasound device and passive...

Project Description In this project, you will learn to synthesize targeted microbubbles. You will learn to synthesize the microbubbles, make a narrow size distribution with centrifugation, and then do chemical conjugation of a peptide targeting ligand to the microbubble surface. You will learn how to observe the microbubbles under the...

Project Description Western honey bee behavior and communication has been a subject of study for hundreds of years, yet much remains unknown about how they coordinate with each other to succeed as a colony without a central leader. In the Peleg lab, we investigate how they accomplish tasks such as...

Project Description The Vance Lab at the ²ÊÃñ±¦µä specializes in indoor and outdoor air quality investigations, with a special focus on aerosols or particulate matter (PM). PM can range from a few nanometers to micrometers in size and can be generated from a variety of sources, from...

Project Description Software Defined Radios are an ever increasing popular topic. The advent of low cost USB radio dongles such as the USRP and BladeRF as well as tools such as GNU radio have allowed for radio development to move into the software domain. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system...

Project Description This project is to explore and exploit the satellite navigation / position engine / GPS within Android. Ideally making end result more more robust with higher integrity. The Android platform provides the majority of GPS/GNSS receivers across the world. Its integration within Android is interesting and many many...

Project Description The Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed (BCQT) is a research facility for developing and openly disseminating standard protocols to reproducibly measure the quality factor and performance characteristics of superconducting microwave resonators used in quantum computing circuits.The BCQT serves as a resource to academic and industry quantum research groups that...

Project Description Imagine designing living organisms with the ability to sense and respond to different chemicals present in the built environment. One could build microorganisms that sense TNT in landmines and identify their locations; or have houseplants that can identify hazardous levels of pollutants. My research group is developing fundamentally...

Project Description Team-Based Learning (TBL) flips the classroom, assigns students into teams for small-group learning, and engages student teams to work together to solve problems—thus facilitating problem-based learning pedagogical strategies. TBL can be very effective in improving student outcomes, indirectly teaching important teamwork and collaboration skills, and making class periods...
