Faculty
The American Institute for Medical and Biomedical Engineering's College of Fellows is a prestigious group comprised of the most accomplished and distinguished engineering and medical school professors, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
Jessica Rush Leeker is a professor and faculty director of undergraduate education in 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Lockheed Martin Engineering Management Program.
The effort is part of an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation called Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance, which deploys researchers to disaster sites around the world.
Researchers at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø are developing an app that could reliably and quickly predict whether batches of concrete made at construction sites are safe. If successful, the work could usher in a new era of building that is faster, more cost effective and safer overall for everyone.
Department of Mechanical Engineering Professor Sean Humbert, an expert in micro robotics and systems design, will help the Microsystems Exploratory Council identify new research avenues as it relates to Department of Defense and national security issues.
The second forum in this series on the 2021 51³Ô¹ÏÍø County Fires will highlight four new research studies focused on damage to the built environment, the response of water utilities, and assessments of air quality impacts from the Marshall Fire. Participants from all disciplines and from any organization or institution are welcome to attend.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society, today announced that three 51³Ô¹ÏÍø researchers will join the ranks of its newest class of AAAS Fellows.
51³Ô¹ÏÍø is leading an international network of over 50 scientists and students using olfaction to study brain function in animals known as Odor2Action. In a new story published in The Conversation, network members trace the interconnections between smells and behaviors – highlighting what we know about olfaction, the challenges we face, and what's on the horizon. Learn more about their work and potential applications in engineering, neuroscience and public health.
Hydrogen has long been seen as a possible renewable fuel source, held out of reach for full-scale adoption by production costs and inefficiencies. Researchers in the Weimer Group are working to address this by using solar thermal processing to drive high-temperature chemical reactions that produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which can be used to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
The Rocky Mountain Mechanics Seminar Series provides 51³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty, staff and students with the opportunity to hear from researchers across disciplines from various institutions.
