The second forum in this series on the 2021 Boulder County Fires will highlight four new research studies focused on damage to the built environment, the response of water utilities, and assessments of air quality impacts from the Marshall Fire. Participants from all disciplines and from any organization or institution are welcome to attend.

Alumnus Michael Lewis (MechEngr’00) took an interdisciplinary education to the next level. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and working at Boeing for a year, he discovered another way to help people – through medicine.

Recently created by an anonymous donor, the Karl Gustafson Endowed Chair of Quantum Engineering will be embedded in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering. It is intended for a faculty member with multidisciplinary research and teaching interests, who is focused on the hardware side of quantum computing and devices.

Nearly one month after the Marshall Fire became the most destructive and one of the most unique wildfires in Colorado history, CU Boulder researchers from across campus—many of them personally affected by the fire—have pivoted and applied their expertise to the aftermath, hoping to learn from a tragedy in their...

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society, today announced that three CU Boulder researchers will join the ranks of its newest class of AAAS Fellows.

CU Boulder is leading an international network of over 50 scientists and students using olfaction to study brain function in animals known as Odor2Action. In a new story published in The Conversation, network members trace the interconnections between smells and behaviors – highlighting what we know about olfaction, the challenges we face, and what's on the horizon. Learn more about their work and potential applications in engineering, neuroscience and public health.

Hydrogen has long been seen as a possible renewable fuel source, held out of reach for full-scale adoption by production costs and inefficiencies. Researchers in the Weimer Group are working to address this by using solar thermal processing to drive high-temperature chemical reactions that produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which can be used to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

In the Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program, students have an abundance of mentorship opportunities: from visiting job sites, networking with industry, participating in discussion forums, working on service-learning projects, obtaining hands-on experiences to much more.

An interdisciplinary team of students are building a super energy-efficient home for a national competition, and they need your help to be successful...

Katie Melbourne is up close and personal with the James Webb Space Telescope.
