It’s widely recognized that reducing lawn irrigation is essential for water conservation, particularly in water-scarce regions such as the Western U.S. Aditi Bhaskar is studying a lesser-known consequence of irrigation efficiency.

Svenja Knappe, who is a physicist by training but calls the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering home, is an ideal person to be at the center of a growing cluster of quantum researchers who are ushering in the second quantum revolution on campus and abroad.

Professor John Zhai, an expert in building systems engineering and indoor air quality, has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to address air quality in affordable housing in hot and humid climates. Zhai’s work will focus on not only the technical aspects but also the influence of cultural practices.

Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a new membrane water filtration system, based around air bubbles, that can help address water scarcity issues around the world.

The chemical and biological engineering professor has been invited to deliver the prestigious Dream Chemistry Lecture at the Institute of Physical Chemistry in Warsaw, Poland. The honor recognizes the significant contributions of Gupta’s young research group, the Laboratory of Interfaces, Flow, and Electrokinetics.

With growing concerns about climate change, a number of “smart” technologies have emerged to reduce energy consumption and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. While most engineers tend to focus on the technology, Professor Moncef Krarti researches the acceptance of it.

Balaji Rajagopalan grew up in a small railroad town near Hyderabad, India, in a home without running water. Now a professor of civil engineering and an expert in hydrology, climatology and water resources, Rajagopalan was recently honored with a Fulbright-Kalam Climate Fellowship and an opportunity to make a difference in his native country.

Twenty-eight CU Boulder engineering students have earned National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships for 2023.

A paper recently submitted to Nature Scientific Reports explores a scenario in which a 100%-electrified fleet of vehicles must attend to both ride requests submitted by customers and charging requests sent by a utility company during a period of high renewable energy generation.

Brad Wham, an assistant research professor, was a member of one of the three Learning From Earthquakes reconnaissance teams that traveled to Turkey in March. The team specifically looked at lifeline systems including energy, transportation, water and wastewater.
