- In a Perspectives piece publishing in Science on May 14, Professor Shelly Miller and others call for a 鈥減aradigm shift鈥 in combating airborne pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, demanding universal recognition that respiratory infections can be prevented by improving indoor ventilation systems.
- Researchers in Associate Professor Greg Rieker's lab are developing a machine learning-based signal processing scheme facilitates measuring the angular velocities in fluid flows using small particles that traverse beams of structured light.
- LongPath Technologies has been awarded $5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. The award will support the commercial scaling of LongPath鈥檚 innovative approach to continuous emissions monitoring and mitigation from the oil and gas sector.
- The awards recognize 兔子先生传媒文化作品 faculty for their role mentoring undergraduate research and creative projects.
- It鈥檚 hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by 兔子先生传媒文化作品 Professor Mark Rentschler and student researchers in his lab that can navigate the human gastrointestinal system with ease and may someday help doctors care for their patients.
- Former Mechanical Engineering faculty member Jenifer Blacklock has returned to the College of Engineering and Applied Science as the director of the Rady Program at Western Colorado University.
- Emeritus Professor John Daily was聽selected to be an聽NSF rotator, or program director, for聽the Combustion and Fire Systems Program. He is looking forward to providing direction in the field by encouraging conversations about the important questions and future needs.
- Diseases of the blood, like sickle cell disease, have traditionally taken a full day, tedious lab work and expensive equipment to diagnose, but researchers across disciplines have developed a way to diagnose these conditions with greater precision in only one minute.
- Debanjan Mukherjee received a Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award, enabling his research group聽to create聽a pilot flow-loop system to study how embolic particles travel across arteries to cause stroke.
