- The NSF GRFP supports outstanding graduate students in STEM disciplines pursuing research-based graduate degrees. Six CU mechanical engineering students received awards in 2019 along with one honorable mention.
- Professor Jana Milford was recently appointed by Governor Jared Polis to a third three-year term on the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission, which oversees air quality regulations for the state.
- Read about how wildfires sparked water quality research, how poor air quality affects low-income households, how a Colorado-born technology detected methane gas leaks and how ²ÊÃñ±¦µä outreach projects taught K–12 students across Colorado about air quality.
- Researchers in Mark Rentschler's lab designed a robot to navigate the unpredictable terrain of the intestine. The group hopes the robot will change how people across the United States get colonoscopies, making these common procedures easier for patients and more efficient for doctors.
- Meet PhD student Greg Formosa, the design and controls mastermind behind the Endoculus, a robotic capsule endoscope capable of performing autonomous colonoscopies that was engineered in Associate Professor Mark Rentschler’s lab.
- Meet Micah Prendergast (PhDMechEngr'19), expert in navigation and localization for the Endoculus, a robotic capsule endoscope developed in Mark Rentschler’s lab. For a robot making its way through the colon, navigation is no easy task.
- Associate Professors Mark Borden hosted a summer school program for faculty from around the world on microbubbles this week in the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory on campus. ²ÊÃñ±¦µä Instructors included Todd Murray and Andrew Goodwin.
- What if the wood used to build your house could decrease your electricity bill? In the race to save energy, Xiaobo Yin at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä and researchers at the University of Maryland have uncovered a way for buildings to dump heat.
- A new machine at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä will allow researchers, including Assistant Professor Virginia Ferguson to see materials in 4D. The ZEISS Xradia 520 Versa is an X-ray microtomography imaging system — essentially an X-ray microscope.
