Tyler Huggins (PhDEnvEngr'16) and Justin Whiteley (PhDMechEngr'16) are trying to create a cheaper manufacturing process for high-performance carbon products by using wastewater to grow fungus to create tunable carbon-based products, such as battery electrodes.

John Zhai is interviewed by news media at the World IoT Expo. An urban pollutant tracking system created by architectural engineering researchers at CU Boulder recently won a Gold Award at the 2016 World Internet of Things (IoT) Expo in Wuxi, China. Professor John Zhai and former PhD student Yu...

A team of CU Boulder civil and architectural engineering students took home first place in the Design-Build Institute of America’s National Student Competition , held earlier this month in Las Vegas. The competition challenged teams to use design-build methods to submit a proposal for a parking facility on a college...

Bernard Amadei was honored for his role in building CU Boulder's engineering in developing communities programs, as well as his many other contributions during a 34-year career at CU, at the Board of Regents meeting on Nov. 10.

Researchers from CEAE and the Mortenson Center have been selected by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to lead a $15.3 million effort to better understand how to improve the sustainability of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions in the developing world.

Scientists and students working with the National Science Foundation, including Associate Professor Michael Gooseff of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering and INSTAAR, have authored a series of papers on how a single season of intense melting in Antarctica in 2001-02 may affect the continent’s ecological future, including its potential impact on global climate change.
