- Assistant Professor C. Wyatt Shields IV is the recipient of a 2022 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Program Award for his proposal “Mapping Immune Cell Responses to High Pressures in Decompression Illness.”
- Two professors have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, one of the highest honors an engineer can receive in their career.
- The Natural Hazards Center on campus will host another virtual forum at 2 p.m. on March 31 via Zoom related to the recent Boulder County Fires. Participants from all disciplines and from any organization or institution are welcome to attend.
- Assistant Professor C. Wyatt Shields IV is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award for his proposal “Shape-Encoded Electrokinetic Particles for Multiplexed Biosensing.” This project seeks to develop a new method of early identification of disease biomarkers, while also facilitating outreach and education to students at Northglenn High School.
- Distinguished professor honored “for developing high-efficiency microwave transmitters and active antenna arrays for wireless communication systems and for engineering education.”
- The National Academy of Engineering is recognizing Brian Argrow as a new member for 2022.The distinction is one of the highest an engineer can receive in their career.As a professor and chair of the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace
- The effort is part of an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation called Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance, which deploys researchers to disaster sites around the world.
- Researchers at are developing an app that could reliably and quickly predict whether batches of concrete made at construction sites are safe. If successful, the work could usher in a new era of building that is faster, more cost effective and safer overall for everyone.
- Department of Mechanical Engineering Professor Sean Humbert, an expert in micro robotics and systems design, will help the Microsystems Exploratory Council identify new research avenues as it relates to Department of Defense and national security issues.
- The second forum in this series on the 2021 Boulder County Fires will highlight four new research studies focused on damage to the built environment, the response of water utilities, and assessments of air quality impacts from the Marshall Fire. Participants from all disciplines and from any organization or institution are welcome to attend.
