The College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU Boulder is part of a new NASA funded Space Technology Research Institute that will advance space habitat designs using resilient and autonomous systems. The work is part of a larger effort to prepare for a time when astronauts will venture further into space, out of low-Earth orbit and on to the Moon, Mars and beyond.

Researchers from CU Boulder will fly drones into severe storms this spring and in 2020 in one of the largest and most ambitious drone-based investigations of meteorological phenomena ever.

Researchers at BioServe Space Technologies are developing a system to test heart function in microgravity.

Associate Professor Corey Neu of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder is working with colleagues at CU Anschutz to detect early osteoarthritis, allowing younger patients to seek treatment earlier and possibly ward off the most severe measures including joint replacement.

CU Boulder researchers are taking a deep dive into the realm of autonomous submarines through a Small Business Technology Transfer contract sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.

Kristi Anseth, a pioneer of regenerative medicine, joins at least 30 current or former CU Boulder faculty members in the Academy.

Researchers working together across the University of Colorado system are developing a technique that would quickly and easily remove antibiotic-resistant bacteria in dentistry and other potential applications.

Rosario-Ortiz is the first Latino director of the program. In addition to being the program's associate director for the past two years, Rosario-Ortiz has served as a Research and Innovation Faculty Fellow and an AWWA trustee for the Water Quality and Research Division.

U.S. intelligence agencies take in a tremendous amount of data every single day. Some of the data is conflicting. Other bits are unrelated. Their job is to comb through it all for details that, when added together, create a clear image of what is actually happening. It’s a huge effort that CU Boulder researchers are attempting to make easier through artificial intelligence and natural language processing.

Faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder are beginning interdisciplinary research that could one day bring lossless power transmission lines, quantum computing and levitating trains closer to reality in everyday life.
