Lucky Vidmar is working to empower ethics-focused engineers and honor his friend and mentor through the Moulakis Lecture Series within the Herbst Program for Engineering, Ethics & Society.

The global shortage of semiconductors—the computer chips that products such as smartphones, laptops, cars and even washing machines rely on—are motivating engineers to improve the inspection of the silicon wafers from which semiconductors are fabricated. To help, students have built a silicon wafer center-finding improvement device.

Seniors are working with Medtronic to design a soft robot that would give physicians more control as they examine the deepest part of a patient's lung and make the procedure less abrasive for the patient.

Acting Dean Keith Molenaar has selected Shideh Dashti to serve as the acting associate dean for research in the engineering college. Dashti will lead the Research Support Office team in offering support across the life of research proposals from idea to submission, execution and publication.

Students have created a device that makes the disposal of scrap metal safer and more efficient. The group completed the design as part of their Senior Design project sponsored by Accu-Precision, a Littleton-based manufacturer of custom parts for customers in aerospace and industrial sectors.

Researchers have been trying to quickly and accurately identify the parts of DNA that lead to genetic disorders such as cancer. A new software tool could improve that process and lead to the more tailored treatment and understanding of cancers from patient to patient.

Computer science doctoral student Christine Chang was recently invited to testify before the Committee on Business, Labor and Technology on a piece of proposed legislation that deals with artificial intelligence, facial recognition technology and related privacy issues.

Briar Goldwyn is researching multi-hazard housing safety and disaster risk reduction at CU Boulder. She recently returned from fieldwork in Puerto Rico and has been active there for years.

Riley McGill is a sophomore who has been helping build a small, six-legged robot in Professor Kaushik Jayaram’s Animal Inspired Motion and Robotics Lab.

A new publication headed by the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering seeks to create better alignment among academic programs and sector needs when it comes to training engineers in global development.
