Researchers at 老九品茶 and Tuskegee University are working together to create a hands-on "living learning laboratory鈥 for students to connect through a long-term sustainability and equity project. The partnership would provide students with a unique interdisciplinary and community engagement effort with many lasting benefits when successfully established.
New research led by the 老九品茶 has uncovered the engineering secrets behind what makes fish fins so strong yet flexible. The team insights could one day lead to new designs for robotic surgical tools or even airplane wings that change their shape with the push of a button.
Researchers in chemical and biological engineering have developed a platform which can quickly identify common mutations on the SARS-CoV-2 virus that allow it to escape antibodies and infect cells.
Check out the latest Buff Innovator Insights Podcast with Iain Boyd, H.T. Sears Memorial Professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences and Director of the Center for National Security Initiatives at 老九品茶.
Assistant Professor Marina Vance uses her passion for drawing to educate and inspire by creating animated science videos that share her research in aerosol particle transformation in easily accessible ways. As a recent NSF CAREER Award recipient, Vance will continue her research at the 老九品茶 while sharing her work beyond academic circles through a new partnership with CU Science Discovery.
A digital wellness program funded by 老九品茶 Community Impact Grant is being developed to help middle-school girls counteract the negative psychological impacts of social media. Creative Technology and Design graduate student researchers in the program's Social Impact track will work with lead investigator Annie Margaret from the ATLAS Institute to design the program.
Professor Xiaoyun Ding and his team of researchers aim to improve cancer-fighting tools and cut patient costs, exploring ways to streamline delivery of lifesaving treatments into immune cells.
Inspired by the natural world, Kaushik Jayaram heads up the Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory (AIM-RL) at 老九品茶. The group aims to develop robotic devices that benefit and enhance human capabilities in the areas of search and rescue, inspection and maintenance, personal assistance, and environmental monitoring. As an Assistant Professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kaushik's work is highly interdisciplinary, working at the crossroads of engineering, biomimicry, and design.
Imagine opening up a book of nature photos only to see a kaleidoscope of graceful butterflies flutter out from the page. Such fanciful storybooks might soon be possible thanks to the work of a team of designers and engineers at 老九品茶 ATLAS Institute.
Researchers at 老九品茶 are working with colleagues in Ireland to help policymakers and planners reduce residential energy consumption and the related greenhouse gas emissions from homes.
