Aaron Clauset, a professor in the Department of Computer Science, was recognized with the Dean's Award for Research for shedding new light on the origin and consequences of inequalities within the academic workforce, and how those inequalities shape who makes what scientific discoveries.

Researchers from CU Boulder's Chemical and Biological Engineering have introduced a groundbreaking method for rapidly counting microorganisms, reducing plastic waste, costs, and carbon footprint in biomedical research. This innovation, detailed in the journal Nature Microbiology, promises to expedite microbiology experiments, facilitating quicker infection diagnoses and antibiotic testing, especially crucial amid global concerns over antibiotic resistance.

New research from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering helps explain how sharp patterns form on zebras, leopards, tropical fish and other creatures. Their findings could inform the development of new high-tech materials and drugs.

In November, we recognize and celebrate Native American and Indigenous community members in our college. This is a time to celebrate cultures, traditions, and histories, as well as to acknowledge the important contributions of the original inhabitants of North America. We also seek to bring awareness to our engineering community about Native tribes and the unique challenges Native people have faced, both historically and in the present.

Charles W. Hull (EngrPhys’61) was named among the 2023 recipients of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the nation’s highest award for technological achievement.

Imagine being able to measure tiny changes in the flow of time caused by Earth’s gravity with atomic clocks atop one of Colorado’s iconic peaks above 14,000 feet. That could soon be a reality thanks to a $1.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation that will advance geodesy through the use of quantum sensors, some of the most precise in the world.

CU Boulder’s chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) participated in the 2023 First Nations Launch as the ‘CU Trailblazers’, winning first place in all their categories and a grand prize trip to the Kennedy Space Center.

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet visited campus Oct. 20, and the trip to campus became an unexpected cause for celebration about Colorado’s place in the nation’s burgeoning quantum ecosystem.

Seventy-five percent of incarceration facilities in the state are vulnerable to wildfires, extreme heat, floods or landslides, and many are ill-equipped to handle them, new research suggests.

The ECEE department welcomed several peer institution department chairs to CU Boulder for the Western Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Head Association (ECEDHA) fall 2023 meeting on October 19 and 20.
