Evan Thomas took over as director of the Mortenson Center in summer 2018. Since then, he has outlined significant changes to the center’s research and teaching, and advocated for recruiting students from all engineering departments, as well as outside entities like the Colorado School of Public Health.
Professor Srubar’s research goal is to create a living hybrid building material that exhibits both structural and biological function. The possibilities for his work are endless and especially interesting in extreme environments and military applications. Bricks could self-heal after natural disasters or enemy fire, or act as alarms by changing color when there are toxins in the air.
EVEN Professor Lupita Montoya just published a new study, which monitored volatile organic compound (VOC) levels in six Colorado nail salons and is among the first to illustrate the serious health risks prevalent in the industry, where technicians commonly work long hours and report symptoms such as headaches, respiratory difficulties and skin irritation.

Professor Fernando Rosario-Oritz interview: When natural disasters threaten water quality, environmental chemistry is key. Rosario-Ortiz currently serves as associate director of the Environmental Engineering (EVEN) Program, but on July 1, he will take the helm of the program.
CEAE Professor Angela Bielefeldt was named an ASEE fellow, only the second College of Engineering faculty member to earn the honor.
Professor Angela Bielefeldt, a registered PE, recently published a paper researching the presence of licensed faculty at institutions across the U.S. and their relationship with graduate licensure.
CEAE researcher Joseph Kasprzyk studied how water agencies can use multi-objective evolutionary algorithms to improve long-term water planning.
A new and unique high-resolution X-ray microtomography imaging system at the college will enhance research, not only in engineering, but in the fields of archaeology, geology and medicine across campus and the Rocky Mountain region.
Professor JoAnn Silverstein has been awarded the 2019 Perry L. McCarty AEESP Founders’ Award, while Professor Karl G. Linden was selected to receive the 2019 Walter J. Weber Jr. AEESP Frontier in Research Award.
