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 Boulder 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 ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ researchers will join the ranks of its newest class of AAAS Fellows.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ 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 ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ faculty, staff and students with the opportunity to hear from researchers across disciplines from various institutions.
Mechanical Engineering Professors Michael Hannigan and Marina Vance join scientists from CIRES and NOAA to install instruments in surviving houses to understand the smoke impacts on indoor air quality.
Department of Mechanical Engineering Professor Shelly Miller shares her recent air quality research about COVID-19 transmission with The Conversation.

New University of Colorado Boulder research suggests while unvaccinated-only testing policies make sense when the unvaccinated population is large, they have little impact on transmission when there are few remaining unvaccinated people to test.
