Faculty
- They are researchers, educators and entrepreneurs who are bringing the Department of Mechanical Engineering new industry and research opportunities.
- ME professor Shelly Miller, a co-author of the study, finds masking instruments, social distancing and implementing time limits significantly reduce the risk of emitting COVID-19 airborne particles.
- Professor Mark Rentschler's Boulder-based company will seek FDA approval after receiving a patent for its leading-edge medical balloon technology.
- Professor Marina Vance of mechanical engineering will evaluate the movement and presence of wildfire particulate matter in indoor settings.
- Professor Xiaoyun Ding recently earned a $1.8 million grant to help improve cancer-fighting tools and cut patient costs, exploring ways to streamline delivery of lifesaving treatments into immune cells.
- The researchers are studying pelvic organ prolapse and Type 1 diabetes.
- The coalition's studies have led to the creation of safety protocols for singing and playing musical instruments to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- In a Perspectives piece publishing in Science on May 14, Professor Shelly Miller and others call for a “paradigm shift” in combating airborne pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, demanding universal recognition that respiratory infections can be prevented by improving indoor ventilation systems.
- Researchers in Associate Professor Greg Rieker's lab are developing a machine learning-based signal processing scheme facilitates measuring the angular velocities in fluid flows using small particles that traverse beams of structured light.
- LongPath Technologies has been awarded $5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. The award will support the commercial scaling of LongPath’s innovative approach to continuous emissions monitoring and mitigation from the oil and gas sector.
