Faculty
- The awards recognize ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder faculty for their role mentoring undergraduate research and creative projects.
- It’s hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder 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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ University.
- Emeritus Professor John Daily was selected to be an NSF rotator, or program director, for 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 to create a pilot flow-loop system to study how embolic particles travel across arteries to cause stroke.
- Researchers are developing tattoo inks that do more than make pretty colors. Some can sense chemicals, temperature and UV radiation, setting the stage for tattoos that diagnose health problems.
- Singing indoors, unmasked can swiftly spread COVID-19 via microscopic airborne particles known as aerosols, confirms a new peer-reviewed study of a March choir rehearsal which became one of the nation’s first superspreading events.
- A new $25 million center to advance quantum science on ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s campus has deep roots in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Engineering’s interdisciplinary research efforts.
