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.
Mathur, a fourth-year electrical engineering student, has earned the fall 2025 Community Impact Award from the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Mathur has served as treasurer for the Society of Women Engineers and Engineers Without Border during her time at CU Boulder.
A major question looms over Colorado’s energy future: why does geothermal energy, a renewable resource, remain virtually untapped? CU Boulder researchers will examine the technological and social barriers that have held back geothermal development in the state.
Scott Diddams was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering Class of 2025 for his outstanding contributions in optical frequency combs and their applications.
Researchers explored a fluid-based optical device known as an electrowetting prism to steer lasers at high speeds for advanced imaging applications. This new frontier in miniature lasers opens the door to new technologies in microscopy, LiDAR, optical communications and even brain imaging.
Evan Sharafuddin, a first-year electrical engineering PhD student, has been selected as the recipient of the Dwight E. and Jessica D. Ryland Graduate Fellowship for the 2025-26 academic year who is pursuing wind turbine control research.
Award-winning physicist Matt Eichenfield has been named the inaugural Karl Gustafson Endowed Chair of Quantum Engineering in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at CU Boulder.
Luca Corradini, associate professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, is advancing energy technologies at CU Boulder thanks to a $1.5 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.
CU Boulder postdoc Catherine Saladrigas is helping bring high-resolution imaging into miniature microscopes for neuroscience research.
Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a new bioimaging device that can operate with significantly lower power and in an entirely non-mechanical way. It could one day improve detecting eye and even heart conditions.
