MacArthur Foundation 100&Change competition, and remains in the running for the competition’s award of a single $100 million grant.
Research leadership in the college is encouraging any and all faculty – no matter their rank, department or research area ¬– to submit a proposal for a new Interdisciplinary Research Theme to start this summer. Find out how.
Tam Vu says the award will help him "innovate and develop a next generation of wearable devices to improve humans’ cognitive function and well-being from around and inside their ears."
Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram sees nature as a giant catalogue of design ideas. Engineers can “leaf through” it to see how various species have overcome problems–many of the solutions exquisitely developed over time to perfection.

New research at CU Boulder, funded by a $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, aims to create a new system to study the mechanical properties of cells using surface acoustic waves.
Associate Professor Gregory Whiting and his research group are preparing for the thrill of a lifetime: two parabolic flights, each expected to provide around ten total minutes of reduced gravity to test and model how 3D printing of functional materials works in lunar gravity.
Assistant professors Dimitra Psychogiou and Emiliano Dall’Anese of electrical, computer and energy engineering won for innovative proposals focused on radio frequency spectrum access and algorithmic control of networks, respectively.
