Robert Wilson (PhDMechEngr'20) spent 45 days locked inside NASA’s HERA facility, a high-tech simulation designed to test the limits of human endurance in deep space. His mission could help shape the future of space exploration—and life back on Earth.
Professor Massimo Ruzzene is the senior vice chancellor for research and innovation. His goal is to foster a campus environment that turns research into real-world impact in areas such as quantum, space, climate and health.
¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ is a hub for sustainable entrepreneurship. Spinouts such as Associate Professor Greg Rieker's LongPath Technologies, Professor Se-Hee Lee's Solid Power and Associate Professor Chunmei Ban's Mana Battery are just some of the university's latest successful ventures motivated by protecting the environment.
For over 20 years, Associate Research Professor Svenja Knappe has focused on developing miniaturized quantum sensors and systems. Now the technology is helping ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ spinout Mesa Quantum commercialize chip-scale quantum solutions that can transform our navigation infrastructure.
A new ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ-led study, headlined by Professor Shelly Miller, shows that Denver residents in marginalized areas of the city are more likely to be exposed to odor emitting facilities. However, these communities are also the least likely to report these odors to the city, a statistic that Miller and her colleagues would like to see change.
Research Professor Christine Wiedinmyer is an atmospheric expert whose research investigates the impact of air pollutants on air quality, climate and public health. In this article by The Conversation, Wiedinmyer gives a behind-the-scenes look at how NOAA forecasters use technology to predict the weather, and how important they are to the fabric of our everyday life.
Assistant Professor Chahat Singh is pioneering advancements in bio-inspired robotics and resource-constrained AI. His work focuses on developing small, autonomous drones capable of solving global challenges, such as pollinating crops and navigating wildfire zones.
Living organisms have evolved across the span of millions of years to do things that are nearly impossible even for today's machines. But what happens when you combine biology and engineering to create more capable robots? Assistant Professor Nicole Xu shares her lab's efforts to create the next generation of cyborg jellyfish explorers.
Professor Sean Humbert is being awarded a five-year, $909,000 grant to make robotic advancements in flight physics and aerial systems. How? By unlocking the biological secrets of your common, everyday housefly.
Fifth-year PhD student Charley Thomas is driven by a vision of renewable energy storage that is efficient, sustainable, scalable, and ethical. Through her work with the Ban Surface Science and Engineering Research Group, Thomas tackles two key challenges in battery technology: stress-testing solid electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries and developing cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.
