Research Professor Jacob Segil collaborated with Dr. Omer Mei Dan from the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine to create a redesigned surgical instrument called the CAP-LIFT cannula. The device was recently launched in October, and within the first few weeks used in over 100 successful surgeries.

Assistant Professor Nicole Xu has been selected as a recipient of the 2025 Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering. The award provides some of the nation’s most promising early career scientists and engineers flexible funding to test novel ideas and lead research that drives real-world impact.
Hanspeter Schaub has been officially inducted into the National Academy of Engineering.A distinguished professor and chair of the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ, Schaub was
Scott Diddams was elected to the National Academy of Engineering Class of 2025 for his outstanding contributions in optical frequency combs and their applications.
Assistant Professor Robert MacCurdy and fourth-year PhD student Charles Wade have created an open-source design system software package that uses functions and code to map not just shapes, but where different materials belong in a 3D object. The project, called OpenVCAD, has the potential to transform 3D printing by enabling engineers to design multi-material objects smarter and more efficiently.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØEngineering is welcoming a new cohort of faculty whose research spans advanced imaging, sustainable energy systems, resilient infrastructure, robotics and more. Their appointments strengthen the college’s breadth in both research and teaching, while expanding opportunities for students across engineering disciplines.

From responsive biomaterials and unique teaching environments to additive manufacturing, these talented scientists and engineers bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to our teaching and research missions.- The Biomedical Engineering Program (BME) at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder is welcoming three new faculty members this fall semester. From responsive biomaterials and pedagogical research to quantum imaging, these talented scientists and engineers bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to our teaching and research missions.
Assistant Professor Nicole Xu first became fascinated with moon jellyfish more than a decade ago because of their extraordinary swimming abilities. Today, Xu has developed a way to harness their efficiency and ease at moving through the water in ways that could make some types of aquatic research much easier.
