Engineering students Caleb Inglis (AeroEngr) and Kelly Winn (MechEngr) represented CU Boulder earlier this month at the Lockheed Martin Ethics in Engineering Case Competition in Bethesda, Maryland. After a slow start, the students rallied to secure fourth place in the competition, which drew 14 teams from top universities across the...

Jan Hesthaven - Dean, School of Basic Sciences and Professor of Mathematics. While discontinuous Galerkin methods have proven themselves to be powerful computational methods, capable of accurately solving a variety of PDE's, the combination of high-order accuracy and discontinuous solutions remain a significant challenge. Traditional methods such as TVB limiting...

The Space Shot podcast interviews Distinguished Professor Dan Scheeres about the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission. Scheeres is leading radio science on the mission. OSIRIS-REx launched in September 2016 and has traveled more than one billion miles since, looping around the sun and now in orbit around Bennu. Listen on...

Zachary Sunberg Postdoctoral Scholar, University of California, Berkeley Monday, Feb. 18, 2019 | DLC | 12:00 P.M. Download Flyer Abstract: Autonomous systems have the potential to help humans in a variety of ways, from traveling to inhospitable destinations and performing tasks that are impossible for humans, to working directly alongside...

The Earth’s magnetic field is constantly changing, so researchers need constantly updated data to revise the models that guide our navigation systems and help predict weather on Earth. CU researchers Bob Marshall and Svenja Knappe are collaborating to bring down the cost of this process through the use of small...
