Hi! I'm a senior this year as well as a pretty big nerd! I became inspired to pursue engineering because of the passion I have for math and for learning. I greatly appreciate the professors and the faculty here at CU Boulder because they push me and inspire me to...

A CU Boulder mechanical engineering team is earning accolades for their solar materials research. The journal Applied Physics Letters is highlighting professor Ronggui Yang and two of his PhD students, Xin Qian and Xiaokun Gu, for their study of a hybrid organic-inorganic material that has green energy applications. A paper...

A team of University of Colorado Boulder engineers has developed a scalable manufactured metamaterial, an engineered material with extraordinary properties not found in nature — to act as a kind of air conditioning system for structures. It has the ability to cool objects even under direct sunlight with zero energy...

Greg Rieker's Precision Laser Diagnostics lab has earned a $1.3 million grant and Northern Colorado National Public Radio affiliate KUNC has the scoop.

My name is Kailee Cox and I am a 4th year student in the Mechanical Engineering program. I was recently accepted to the concurrent BS/MS program, and will be pursuing my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in Biomedical Engineering. I have wanted to be a Buff ever...

I am currently a fourth year Ph.D. student in Dr. Mark Rentschler’s Advanced Medical Technologies Laboratory. My current research consists primarily of developing a large deformation, thermo-poromechanics finite element model to simulate the heat transport, water transport and deformation of biological tissue when acted upon by outside forces. Currently, my...

Mohamed Eltarkawe is a third-year PhD student in Prof. Shelly Miller’s research group. His research interests are directed towards understanding the relationship between well-being and industrial odors in five communities in Colorado: Fort Collins, Greeley, Fort Lupton, North Denver, and Pueblo. He developed an android app (Report Odor 1) through...

A team of researchers led by the University of Colorado Boulder has secured a $1.3 million grant from the...

New air quality research is investigating a major, but often overlooked contributor to outdoor pollution and climate: burning of solid fuel for cooking and heating. Cookstove studies typically evaluate how they contribute to indoor air quality issues in houses where solid fuel is frequently used for cooking and heating. A...

Carlye Lauff, a mechanical engineering PhD student studying design, is taking her research to the land of kangaroos and...
