Haichao Wu is the lead author on a new paper that describes a model system that can be used to help guide tiny self-propelled robots when exploring maze-like environments such as the spaces between grains of sand in soil.
Associate Professor Wil Srubar is taking part in a special National Science Foundation web panel discussion Thursday on "Pride in STEM: A Conversation about Research, Mentorship and Advocacy". The free webinar is scheduled for Thursday, June 24 at 9 a.m. MDT.
A new lab at CU º£½ÇÉçÇø is exploring how the extracellular matrix – a network of proteins that surrounds cells and provides structural and mechanical cues in the body – specifically impacts kidney growth, development and function.
Through a generous gift, Dale and Pat Hatfield recently enabled the creation of the first endowed professorship associated with the ATLAS Institute.
Widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles over traditional electric vehicles requires fuel cells that can convert hydrogen and oxygen safely into water – a serious implementation problem. Researchers at CU º£½ÇÉçÇø are addressing one aspect of that roadblock by developing new computational tools and models needed to better understand and manage the conversion process.
With support from the heating and ventilation company Carrier Global, Intel and the Colorado-based Ryan Innovation Group, engineers at CU º£½ÇÉçÇø have installed hundreds of air quality monitors in K-12 classrooms across Denver and º£½ÇÉçÇø. The project is led by Mark Hernandez, professor in the Environmental Engineering Program at CU º£½ÇÉçÇø.
Roncone is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science. His work lies at the intersection of research in human-robot interaction, artificial intelligence and robot control & planning with the goal of developing robot technologies that enable close, natural, and extended cooperation with humans. He also serves as a co-director for the Engineering Education and AI-Augmented Learning research theme in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU º£½ÇÉçÇø.
Rafael Frongillo, an assistant professor in the CU º£½ÇÉçÇø Department of Computer Science, studies how changing the way we measure prediction accuracy can ultimately influence the decisions made by humans and machines alike.
Nisar Ahmed is developing collaborative human and autonomous robot vehicle systems and machine learning and artificial intelligence for aerospace applications. An assistant professor in Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences at CU º£½ÇÉçÇø, Ahmed's work is advancing how people and robots interact and work with eachother.
Twelve faculty members within the College of Engineering and Applied Science received CAREER Awards from the National Science Foundation in 2021. The total shows an impressive trend with the college earning five awards in 2019 and seven in 2020, said Associate Dean for Research Massimo Ruzzene.
