As scientists continue exploring how the virus is transmitted through airborne particles, Mike Scofield is among the engineers looking for ways to address public health concerns inherent in our built environment. He is particularly interested in the role that humidity plays in the spread of illness – and in promoting HVAC systems that can keep buildings in the moisture “sweet spot.”
The Lectureship is among the most esteemed honors bestowed by the faculty upon a faculty member at the 鶹Ƶ. Each year, the Research & Innovation Office (RIO) requests nominations from faculty for the Distinguished Research Lectureship, and a faculty review panel recommends one faculty member as a recipient.
The Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) research facility is calling for new proposals that would be enabled by their equipment and staff now through April 30.
Senior design team solving problems to aid public health
Assistant Professor Nicole Labbe will discuss her work around the chemistry of combustion on April 15 as part of the CU Engineering Alumni Webinar series.
A research team led by CU Boulder has designed a new kind of synthetic “skin” as slippery as the scales of a snake. The research, published recently in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials & Interfaces, addresses an under-appreciated problem in engineering: Friction.
Matteo Mazzotti is the first author on two new studies that measure the dynamic response of the human skull, potentially providing a new and non-invasive way to monitor the cranial bone and brain. Mazzotti is a research associate in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering as part of Professor Massimo Ruzzene’s lab.
Assistant Professor Maureen Lynch was recently awarded a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation to study those dynamics and improve scientific understanding of the causes and treatments of tumor-induced bone disease.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers in the college is working to develop materials to enable the next generation of computing. If successful, the boundary between materials and computers may disappear altogether in the near future.
Soham Ghosh is the coauthor of a new paper that deals with gene accessibility and function in living beings. Ghosh completed the work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Soft Tissue Bioengineering Lab led by Professor Corey Neu.
