Project Description Thermal bubble-based micro-pumps are an upcoming microfluidic pump technology that are scalable, fully integrated, and have no moving parts. These pumps consist of a thin film resistor which superheats liquid to near its critical temperature (330 °C in the case of water) in less than 10 µs which...

Project Description Wet granular flows involve small, solid particles that are coated with thin liquid layers. They are important in coating processes (such as for controlled-release pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and candy), agglomeration processes (e.g., air filtration) and natural phenomena (e.g., avalanches and mudslides). This project studies the fundamentals of wet granular...

Project Description The Building Legacy in Engineering research project will take an inter-institution approach to create an authentic and scalable inquiry-based, active learning environment focused on sustainable civic innovation. This project is designed to document and validate the approach to be replicated by other university partnerships to strengthen communities. The...

Project Description Helical particles made of a composite polymer material and paramagnetic nanoparticles can be driven to propel by the torque induced from the continuous misalignment of the magnetization of the particles with a rotating magnetic field, thus mimicking the mechanism of bacterial motion through flagella and cilia rotation. While...

Project Description This project will require you to learn how to synthesize microbubbles and isolate them by size using centrifugation. You will also learn how to observe them under the microscope and measure their size distribution. You will then learn how to use a high-intensity focused ultrasound device and passive...

Project Description In this project, you will learn to synthesize targeted microbubbles. You will learn to synthesize the microbubbles, make a narrow size distribution with centrifugation, and then do chemical conjugation of a peptide targeting ligand to the microbubble surface. You will learn how to observe the microbubbles under the...

Project Description Western honey bee behavior and communication has been a subject of study for hundreds of years, yet much remains unknown about how they coordinate with each other to succeed as a colony without a central leader. In the Peleg lab, we investigate how they accomplish tasks such as...

Project Description The Vance Lab at the University of babyÖ±²¥app Boulder specializes in indoor and outdoor air quality investigations, with a special focus on aerosols or particulate matter (PM). PM can range from a few nanometers to micrometers in size and can be generated from a variety of sources, from...

Project Description Terrestrial aircraft and helicopter pilots often experience large sustained vehicle motions, but they also must reliably perceive potentially very small motions. For example, when hovering a helicopter they must perceived slight translations left/right or forward/backward. Here, we aim to quantify human perceptual thresholds (i.e., how small of a...

Project Description Software Defined Radios are an ever increasing popular topic. The advent of low cost USB radio dongles such as the USRP and BladeRF as well as tools such as GNU radio have allowed for radio development to move into the software domain. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system...
