Research
- Devices are potential game changers in the world of renewable energy. Working rectennas could, theoretically, harvest the heat coming from factory smokestacks or bakery ovens that would otherwise go to waste.
- The popular Research Support Office Webinar Series will continue in fall 2021, once again giving researchers in the college a chance to engage directly with researchers and program managers from various funding agencies.
- Pawel Sawicki, a PhD candidate in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at CU Boulder, is the lead author on a paper that recently won the AIAA Thermophysics Best Student Paper award at SciTech 2021.
- Marina Vance 鈥 an assistant in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Environmental Engineering Program 鈥 was recently awarded an NSF CAREER Award to understand how aerosol particles transform as they move between indoor and outdoor environments and what the implications of that process are.
- Sidney D鈥橫ello, Associate Professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science and the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, describes how his unique combination of education and research experiences led to his leading-edge work at the NSF National Institute for Student-Agent Teaming, which is reimagining the role of artificial intelligence in the classroom to better serve both students and teachers.
- Researchers from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the Materials Science and Engineering Program are among the authors of 鈥淧olymer inhibitors enable >900鈥塩m2 dynamic windows based on reversible metal electrodeposition with high solar modulation鈥 which appeared in the April issue of the highly prestigious science journal Nature Energy.
- Results come from a new mathematical study led by researchers at two University of Colorado campuses, who explore what it might take for the state to safely shed mask mandates, limits on indoor dining and a range of other restrictions.
- Misha Sinner, a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, presented a paper at the International Federation of Automatic Control World Congress in July 2020 on wind turbine control.
- Researchers at CU Boulder are using LEGO bricks to study and simply illustrate the general dynamics and topology of metastructures and metamaterials.
- Researchers in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering are developing a robot that may one day change how millions of people across the U.S. get colonoscopies, making these common procedures easier for patients and more efficient for doctors.
