Faculty
The Rocky Mountain Mechanics Seminar Series provides Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder faculty, staff and students with the opportunity to hear from researchers across disciplines from various institutions.
Mechanical Engineering Professors Michael Hannigan and Marina Vance join scientists from CIRES and NOAA to install instruments in surviving houses to understand the smoke impacts on indoor air quality.
Department of Mechanical Engineering Professor Shelly Miller shares her recent air quality research about COVID-19 transmission with The Conversation.
Rajagopalan Balaji is a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ professor and chair of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, and he is changing the way we see climate change.[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGC3Awsy61k]
New Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ research suggests while unvaccinated-only testing policies make sense when the unvaccinated population is large, they have little impact on transmission when there are few remaining unvaccinated people to test.
New research published in Nature Materials from Associate Professor Tanja Cuk and colleagues sheds light on a fundamental chemical reaction — the breaking apart of water to produce a molecular fuel such as hydrogen. Cuk is faculty in the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Science and Engineering Program (MSE) and is a Fellow in the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI).
Professor Greg Rieker and Ryan Cole (PhDMechEngr’21) have developed an experiment that recreates the climates of planets beyond our solar system right in the lab. By reaching the same high-temperature and high-pressure conditions found on many exoplanets, the instrument can map their atmospheres, which could help humanity detect life outside our solar system.
Election to NAI Fellow is the highest professional distinction accorded solely to academic inventors.
Biomedical Engineering Professor Corey Neu and Benjamin Seelbinder's (PhDMech’19) work, now published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, looks at how cells adapt to their environment and how a mechanical environment influences a cell. Their research has the potential to tackle major health obstacles.
Hayden Fowler, a graduate student in Gallogly Professor Timothy White’s Responsive and Programmable Materials Group, is the first author on a research paper published in Advanced Materials concerning the temperature-independent electrical actuation of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), which are soft, stimuli-responsive materials with potential applications in soft robotics, artificial muscles and more.
