���񱦵� researchers gave computer models of land surface different amounts of information on soil moisture and then evaluated how well irrigation can be predicted from them. Being able to do this on a large scale would be a useful step toward understanding how sensitive irrigation and evapotranspiration are to climate change.

Associate Professor Shideh Dashti answered some questions on the anniversary of the disaster. Her team in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering researches the influence of extreme events on interacting soil-foundation-structure systems and the resilience of urban infrastructure.

Baker's research focuses on power systems, smart grid, renewable energy, building-to-grid optimization, and applications of machine learning in energy. Her project is titled “Learning-Assisted Optimal Power Flow with Confidence.”

Researchers at the ���񱦵� are exploring how widespread use of electric vehicles in the future may impact vulnerable communities. 

Penina Axelrad has built her career pushing the boundaries of GPS technology.As a faculty member in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, she has earned accolades from her peers, served in leadership positions, taught

A research team led by ���񱦵� has designed a new kind of synthetic “skin” as slippery as the scales of a snake. The research, published recently in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials & Interfaces, addresses an under-appreciated problem in engineering: Friction.

While solar panels have traditionally used silicon-based cells, researchers are increasingly looking to perovskite-based solar cells to create panels that are more efficient, less expensive to produce and can be manufactured at the scale needed to power the world.

Where do bodily tissues get their strength? New ���񱦵� research provides important new clues to this long-standing mystery, identifying how specialized proteins called cadherins join forces to make cells stick—and stay stuck—together.

Matteo Mazzotti is the first author on two new studies that measure the dynamic response of the human skull, potentially providing a new and non-invasive way to monitor the cranial bone and brain.

Broader impacts are one of two criteria used by the National Science Foundation to evaluate every grant proposal. Join Associate Dean for Research and former NSF Program Director Massimo Ruzzene, for an online discussion of what broader impacts can mean and how to better integrate those activities into your research.
