A research team led by CU 抖阴传媒在线 has designed a new kind of synthetic 鈥渟kin鈥 as slippery as the scales of a snake. The research, published recently in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials & Interfaces, addresses an under-appreciated problem in engineering: Friction.
Matteo Mazzotti is the first author on two new studies that measure the dynamic response of the human skull, potentially providing a new and non-invasive way to monitor the cranial bone and brain. Mazzotti is a research associate in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering as part of Professor Massimo Ruzzene鈥檚 lab.
Assistant Professor Maureen Lynch was recently awarded a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation to study those dynamics and improve scientific understanding of the causes and treatments of tumor-induced bone disease.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers in the college is working to develop materials to enable the next generation of computing. If successful, the boundary between materials and computers may disappear altogether in the near future.
Soham Ghosh is the coauthor of a new paper that deals with gene accessibility and function in living beings. Ghosh completed the work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Soft Tissue Bioengineering Lab led by Professor Corey Neu.
Kaitlin McCreery is the coauthor of a new paper that deals with diagnosing diseases such as osteoarthritis in soft tissue. McCreery is currently a PhD student in the Neu Lab
It鈥檚 hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by CU 抖阴传媒在线 Professor Mark Rentschler and student researchers in his lab that can navigate the human gastrointestinal system with ease and may someday help doctors care for their patients.
As a team of generous philanthropic leaders, Paul and Katy Rady have made investments in the 抖阴传媒在线 that will pay dividends for decades to come.
Former Mechanical Engineering faculty member Jenifer Blacklock has returned to the College of Engineering and Applied Science as the director of the Rady Program at Western Colorado University.
