- CU Boulder engineers and faculty from the Consortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation (CFReT) at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus have teamed up to develop biomaterial-based “mimics” of heart tissues to measure patients’ responses to an aortic valve replacement procedure, offering new insight into the ways that cardiac tissue re-shapes itself post-surgery.
- Her research examines how honeybee swarms interact through communication mechanisms such as “waggle dancing” and other types of signaling to make decisions that maximize their foraging yield.
- The fifth annual Rocky Mountain Fluid Mechanics Research Symposium was held on July 29 at CU Boulder.
- Do you want to be a business leader in aerospace? The Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences and the Engineering Management Program at the University of Colorado Boulder have teamed up to offer a unique graduate certificate: Engineering Management in the Aerospace Industry. “We’ve developed this certificate for...
- The highly qualified class includes 28 mechanical engineering students and 15 computer science students, with two-thirds of students hailing from Colorado.
- If humans are going to travel further into space – to places like Mars and beyond – the robotic systems involved will have to become more autonomous, shedding costly teams of handlers on Earth and relying more on the astronauts for missions lasting six or more years.
- A new paper in Nature Photonics from researchers at CU Boulder details impressive improvements in the ability to control the propagation and interaction of light in complex media such as tissue – an area with many potential applications in the medical field.
- Twelve weeks ago, six student teams joined the Catalyze CU startup accelerator with innovative concepts and a hunch that their ideas might be marketable. This week, they were proven correct, as all emerged from the program with viable prototypes, waiting customers and vastly improved knowledge of how to successfully launch a startup from scratch.
- Florencia Cabral, a student in the online post-baccalaureate in computer science who has been pursuing her degree from Montevideo, Uruguay, decided to take advantage of an opportunity to spend her summer researching recommender systems with Robin Burke from the Department of Information Science.
- The Herbst Program of Humanities in Engineering is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and is changing its name to the Herbst Program for Engineering, Ethics and Society to more accurately describe what it does.
