Research
- Current robotic materials and prosthetic limbs, while quickly gaining precision and application, are typically made of rigid materials and aren’t the most graceful machines – think C-3PO from "Star Wars." Researchers in the College of Engineering
- The CubeSat mission houses a small, energetic particle telescope to measure the flux of solar energetic protons and Earth’s radiation belt electrons. Launched in 2012, it has involved more than 65 students, including many from Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences.
- Physics World recognizes work by Ronggui Yang and Xiaobo Yin from mechanical engineering.
- As a research assistant with the Build a Better Book Project, run by computer science Assistant Professor Tom Yeh, Shalini Menon is drawing on her personal experience to teach others how to make books and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning materials more accessible to children who are visually impaired.
- Founded by electrical and computer engineers Eric Keller and Murad Kablan, Stateless is revolutionizing software-defined networks by building virtual network functions, such as firewalls and load balancers, that are easy to offer and consume through the “as-a-service” model.
- Mechanical engineering Associate Professor Mark Rentschler is leading the effort to develop an artificial, robotic small intestine for use in medical laboratories. The research is supported by a $1.25 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
- The device, called the Vee Vee, interprets the direction of the eye movement and sends an instruction to an external machine that’s paired with the wearable device.
- From left: Diego Restrepo, Emily Gibson, Juliet Gopinath and Victor Bright.Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the have won a $2 million grant allowing them to
- The award recognizes Weimer’s lifetime of scientific achievement, including fundamental understanding, discovery, engineering scale-up and commercialization of processes to synthesize ultrafine ceramic powders and to apply nanoscale films to ultrafine particle surfaces.
- Few people figure out how they want to change the world in middle school. But in eighth grade, Peter “Max” Armstrong -- now a third-year mechanical engineering major -- did just that.
