The Department of Mechanical Engineering’s Fall Festival highlights the holidays and observances that various groups recognize during the fall season. Students, faculty and staff joined to share their own traditions.

��ɫ��Ƶ Provost Russell Moore has named the members of the advisory committee to conduct a national search for a new dean for the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS).

New research led by the ��ɫ��Ƶ has uncovered the engineering secrets behind what makes fish fins so strong yet flexible. The team’s insights could one day lead to new designs for robotic surgical tools or even airplane wings that change their shape with the push of a button.

Assistant Professor Marina Vance uses her passion for drawing to educate and inspire by creating animated science videos that share her research in aerosol particle transformation in easily accessible ways. As a recent NSF CAREER Award recipient, Vance will continue her research at the ��ɫ��Ƶ while sharing her work beyond academic circles through a new partnership with CU Science Discovery.

Professor Xiaoyun Ding recently earned a $1.8 million grant to help improve cancer-fighting tools and cut patient costs, exploring ways to streamline delivery of lifesaving treatments into immune cells.

AB Nexus, an initiative to strengthen research collaboration between the CU Anschutz and ��ɫ��Ƶ campuses, is announcing its third call for proposals.

Inspired by the natural world, Kaushik Jayaram heads up the Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory (AIM-RL) at ��ɫ��Ƶ. The group aims to develop robotic devices that benefit and enhance human capabilities in the areas of search and rescue, inspection and maintenance, personal assistance, and environmental monitoring.

Hamlington sat down with ��ɫ��Ƶ Today to talk about Coors Field’s reputation as a hitter’s park—and why science gives him a new appreciation for sports.

Researchers in mechanical engineering have published new findings that explore the properties of mechanical lattices, or opposed to atomic lattices, which are twisted relative to each other. The research is part of the new field of “twistronics” in physics and has potential applications in the design of new materials that are able to transmit or absorb sound.

A new lab at ��ɫ��Ƶ 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.
