- ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ engineering professor Sean Humbert is leading a team in a national competition, the Subterranean Challenge. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency gifted the university a $4.5 million grant to fund Humbert's team.
- CONVERGE will establish a new Reconnaissance Leadership Corps made up of engineers and social and natural scientists. They’ll offer training, develop a series of best practice documents on safety considerations and working with socially vulnerable populations and help researchers establish a scientific agenda before heading into the field.
- ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Associate Professor Abbie Liel studied the issue of retrofitting non-ductile concrete buildings in high population areas through a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation.
- Weimer is the H.T. Sears Memorial professor of chemical and biological engineering and a world recognized expert in fluid-particle processing.
- Associate Professor and Alvah and Harriet Hovlid Professor Mahmoud Hussein has received a $2.5 million grant from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA‑E) latest open funding opportunity.The award is among $98 million in funding for
- Researchers at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ have developed virtual clinical trials for an artificial pancreas that could significantly improve treatments for those with Type 1 diabetes by tailoring medical devices and speeding up clinical trials.
- Julie Korak’s research interests are broadly focused on water treatment engineering, spanning municipal drinking water, water reuse and industrial water treatment.
- The third edition Principles of Sustainable Energy Systems textbook was published in September 2018, a collaboration between Emeritus Professor Frank Kreith, PhD alumnus Charles Kutscher and Professor Jana Milford.
- Faculty at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ are working toward widespread adoption and practical applications for the soft robotic HASEL actuators demonstrated here earlier this year, through a new $2 million award from the National Science Foundation.
- A new campus wide initiative - the Quantum Explorations in Science & Technology seed grant program - aims to put ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ at the center of work being done on quantum.
