  • Sunflower in a field of sunflowers
    Research being led by CU Boulder Assistant Professor Orit Peleg is studying social systems in sunflowers through an award from the Human Frontier Science Program.
  • Jerome Fox portrait
    CU Boulder Assistant Professor Jerome Fox has been selected for the Army-ECASE award to study emergent behavior in biochemical networks.
  • Blue construction plans
    Research at CU Boulder are trying to understanding how construction plans are read on job sites and then tailoring the information to the individual. Increasing efficiency, reducing costs and – potentially – reducing the risk of an accident.
  • open house participants watching a demonstration
    The Materials Characterization Facility in the Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) successfully hosted a focused ion beam (FIB) event in mid-April.
  • Representation of an atom
    CU Boulder has a tradition of excellence in quantum science and technology. Work in the field continues on and off campus in the many companies that have been founded by CU engineering and physics faculty and former students.
  • Participants at Boulder Startup Week
    CU Boulder is participating as the University Track sponsor at Boulder Startup Week, showcasing the strong ties between the Boulder startup community and the world-class teaching and research happening on campus.
  • Al Gasiewski in his lab.
    Want more accurate weather forecasts? You’re in luck: Last month, researchers at CU Boulder saw the fruits of their labors launch aboard a new satellite. That satellite is the first in a planned fleet of Earth-orbiters that the team says will one day record weather data at every point on the globe every 15 minutes.
  • Shilo Brooks
    Although not an engineer, Brooks, a political scientist and student of political philosophy and the history of science, is uniquely qualified to direct the leadership program at the CU Boulder College of Engineering and Applied Science. Designed for engineering students, the liberal arts leadership program introduces students to the complexities inherent in science and technology’s relationship to society.
  • Rendering of living space on a space craft
    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.
  • The drone named TTwistor3 approaching a supercell thunderstorm in southern South Dakota.
    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.
