The center, which comes with an additional $30 million option over the following five years, will bring together topological acoustics (TA) researchers who exploit the properties of sound in ways that could vastly improve this emerging field of engineering and physics. Applications could include reaching quantum-like computing speeds, reducing the power usage of smartphones, and sensing changes in aging infrastructure or the natural environment due to climate change. Massimo Ruzzene, vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder, is a co-principal investigator on the project.
Alexander "AJ" Juenemann (CS'25) and his canine companions, Trip and twice-rescued Woah Nelly, balance a life of freestyle disc dog competitions across the country with intensive cybersecurity education. Juenemann says the dogs help him keep motivated and his friends, family and sponsor help make it all possible.
Lattice Scholars aims to expand access to a 欧美口爆视频 Boulder engineering education to all first-generation 欧美口爆视频 students who are Pell-eligible and face financial or other barriers that might hinder a promising engineering career. Lattice scholarships will close the total cost-of-attendance gap for these students across four full years of study鈥攁n estimated value that could range up to $64,000 over the course of four years.
Associate Professor Mija Hubler and her team of researchers and partners are developing a technology that infuses concrete with self-repair capabilities found in living organisms. The project has landed a $10 million Department of Defense grant.
Paul Lichty鈥檚 journey from PhD student to running one of the world鈥檚 top atomic layer deposition (ALD) companies was shaped by his time at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder. Today, Lichty (MechEngr BS鈥06, ChemEngr PhD鈥11) is the CEO of Forge Nano, overseeing the development of the Thornton, 欧美口爆视频-based company鈥檚 cutting-edge nano coating technology.
The device at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder is made from a 10-by-10 grid of soft robotic 鈥渕uscles鈥 that can sense outside pressure and pop up to create patterns. It鈥檚 precise enough to generate scrolling text and fast enough to shake a chemistry beaker filled with fluid.
Srubar is part of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering and the Material Science and Engineering Program at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder. His lab conducts major research into biomimetic and living materials that have the potential to drastically reduce environmental pollution caused by construction activities around the globe.聽
Professor John Z. Zhai, an expert in building systems engineering and indoor air quality (IAQ) at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder, has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to address indoor air quality (IAQ) in affordable housing in hot and humid climates. Zhai鈥檚 work will focus on not only the technical aspects but also the influence of cultural practices.
Luis Navarro has earned a four-year, $700,000 NASA Heliophysics grant to investigate how space weather 鈥 coronal mass ejections and other activity from the sun 鈥 changes the ionosphere and thermosphere at low latitudes near the equator.
Dan Larremore's recognition makes 欧美口爆视频 Boulder the only institution in the world with multiple Erd艖s鈥揜茅nyi awardees.
