Jacob Stewart, Zoe Worrall, Camille Williams and Raymond Anchordoquy are recipients of the 2026 NSF research fellowships, which supports outstanding graduate students in STEM fields for their research endeavors.
Two-time Emmy‑winning electrical engineer Al Bovik shares how his algorithms shape the visual quality of nearly 80% of streamed video worldwide. By combining neuroscience with engineering, his work impacts some of the largest digital platforms behind your TV or movie binge.
Graduating seniors will showcase their capstone projects at the Engineering Project Expo. This year’s 22 teams from ECEE will present innovative solutions spanning biomedical engineering, wireless power and RF connectivity for industry partners, alumni and the public.
CU Boulder will host the 18th International Workshop on Biodesign Automation (IWBDA), June 18–20, following the SEED Conference in Denver. The workshop brings together researchers and industry leaders advancing biodesign automation in synthetic biology.
Glaciers are constantly changing and reshaping the Earth’s surface. CU Boulder researchers have developed a new machine learning tool to better understand how Arctic glaciers suddenly accelerate or “surge”.
CU Boulder researchers have built high performing optical microresonators opening the door for new sensor technologies. In the future, the microresonators could be used for compact microlasers, advanced chemical and biological sensors and even tools for quantum metrology and networking.
Aoife Henry (PhDElEngr‘24) is optimizing technology for wind and solar energy operations. The graduate is leading Zentus, a startup she founded that addresses a critical challenge in the energy sector: how to prevent costly equipment failures that can bring wind and solar farms offline without warning.
ECEE at CU Boulder is welcoming three new faculty members including Assistant Professor Logan Horowitz and and Assistant Professor Gonzalo Constante Flores. Additionally, award-winning physicist Matt Eichenfield, the inaugural Karl Gustafson Endowed Chair of Quantum Engineering, joined this semester.
CU Boulder researchers have developed a laser-based imaging method called stimulated Raman scattering to improve the performance of desalination plants by allowing real-time detection of membrane fouling. The advance could help make desalination more efficient and reliable as global demand for clean water rises.
Researchers have developed a device that can precisely control laser light using a fraction of the power and space required today. Because it can be manufactured just like modern microchips, this tiny device could unlock quantum computers capable of solving problems far beyond the reach of today’s technologies.
