Want more accurate weather forecasts? You’re in luck: Last month, researchers at CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß saw the fruits of their labors launch aboard a new satellite. That satellite is the first in a planned fleet of Earth-orbiters that the team says will one day record weather data at every point on the globe every 15 minutes.
Although not an engineer, Brooks, a political scientist and student of political philosophy and the history of science, is uniquely qualified to direct the leadership program at the CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß College of Engineering and Applied Science. Designed for engineering students, the liberal arts leadership program introduces students to the complexities inherent in science and technology’s relationship to society.
The College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß is part of a new NASA funded Space Technology Research Institute that will advance space habitat designs using resilient and autonomous systems. The work is part of a larger effort to prepare for a time when astronauts will venture further into space, out of low-Earth orbit and on to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Researchers from CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß will fly drones into severe storms this spring and in 2020 in one of the largest and most ambitious drone-based investigations of meteorological phenomena ever.
Researchers at BioServe Space Technologies are developing a system to test heart function in microgravity.
Associate Professor Corey Neu of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß is working with colleagues at CU Anschutz to detect early osteoarthritis, allowing younger patients to seek treatment earlier and possibly ward off the most severe measures including joint replacement.
CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß researchers are taking a deep dive into the realm of autonomous submarines through a Small Business Technology Transfer contract sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.
Kristi Anseth, a pioneer of regenerative medicine, joins at least 30 current or former CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß faculty members in the Academy.
Researchers working together across the University of Colorado system are developing a technique that would quickly and easily remove antibiotic-resistant bacteria in dentistry and other potential applications.
Rosario-Ortiz is the first Latino director of the program. In addition to being the program's associate director for the past two years, Rosario-Ortiz has served as a Research and Innovation Faculty Fellow and an AWWA trustee for the Water Quality and Research Division.
