  • Axelrad at NAE.
    The National Academy of Engineering has officially elected Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences professor Penina Axelrad as a new member. Election to the prestigious academy is among the highest professional distinctions
  • Iain Boyd
    Iain Boyd is thinking fast. Extremely fast. So fast that breaking the sound barrier is practically standing still. Welcome to the world of hypersonics, where the minimum speed is it least 3,836 mph, or five times the speed of sound. Boyd's work
  • Rendering of a brain
    Sanghamitra Neogi is part of a team seeking nothing less than a revolutionary leap forward in computing technology by making computers work more like the human brain. The National Science Foundation thinks they may be onto something and has awarded a two-year, $1.7 million "Ideas Lab" grant to further the research. Investigations into...
  • The CU Boulder campus and the Flatiron Mountains.
    Do you want to be a business leader in aerospace? The Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences and the Engineering Management Program at the University of Colorado Boulder have teamed up to offer a unique graduate certificate
  • Trine Bumiller at work on her mural.
    Stroke by stroke, two large murals are adding an eruption of color and expression to the new Aerospace Engineering Sciences Building at the University of Colorado Boulder.

    The Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences commissioned...
  • The new building.
    The Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences has moved into a new dedicated building on East Campus.

    The four-story, nearly 180,000 square-foot structure was completed over the summer following 18 months of construction, and a formal ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for Monday, August 26, to kick off the semester...
  • Investigating flowers in ultraviolet light.
    Science, engineering and nature are coming together for Colorado high school students at a unique summer camp. The 2019 CU Science Discovery Mountain Research Experience, a weeklong sleepaway camp program is a chance for kids to learn about the possibilities of scientific...
  • Luis Zea and the 16 Psyche asteroid
    Luis Zea is investigating the possibility of mining metals from asteroids in space using an unlikely agent: bacteria. It may sound like science fiction, but so-called biomining is already a reality on Earth. Now, Zea, and his co-investigator Jesse
  • An image taken from the International Space Station shows orange swaths of airglow hovering in Earth’s atmosphere. NASA’s new Atmospheric Waves Experiment will observe this airglow from a perch on the space station to help scientists understand, and ultimately improve forecasts of, space weather changes in the upper atmosphere.
    Jeff Forbes is working on a research project slated for the International Space Station (ISS) to help us better understand and forecast conditions on the edge of space. NASA is funding the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) to analyze gravity (or “buoyancy”) waves in a region of the upper atmosphere that can cause disruptions in...
  • The hypersonics conference underway.
    The top researchers in the field of hypersonics have wrapped up a week-long conference highlighting the latest developments in the subject. The 2019 Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics Portfolios Review, sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific
