Gilberto Briscoe-Martinez wants robots to be able to learn from their mistakes and continue persevering to finish a task as best they can. A recent award to him will provide four years of research funding and NASA collaboration.
CU Boulder Professor Karl Linden has landed a major fellowship to research solutions to water pollution in rural and First Nations communities in Canada.
Among many interdisciplinary efforts, scientists are using the power and promise of remote sensing to help solve food supply, pollution and water scarcity problems around the globe.
Sarah Aguasvivas Manzano and her team are working on a wearable item for drag queens that could also help address common problems in wearable technology.
Kandt is using her mechanical engineering degree to support the fight against climate change and help build energy-resilient communities and organizations around the globe.
Ilham Siddiq survived the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami and is now using his firsthand disaster knowledge to evaluate the effectiveness of recovery policies.
As the space industry evolves its focus from large satellites to smaller ones with the same functionality, there is a growing need for the hardware to shrink as well. A group of seniors has helped meet that need.
Graduating senior Katelynn Thammavong has been recognized with a Community Impact Award for her work to connect and empower Asian-heritage STEM students and disrupt anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Engineers have studied disaster resilience in housing for decades—exploring and creating better solutions to keep people safe and in place after events like earthquakes. New research aims to take that work further by better incorporating the perspectives and attitudes of those living in impacted homes—particularly women.
The air quality study, led by CU Boulder mechanical engineering doctoral candidate Aniya Khalili, aims to inspire the community to lead cleaner lifestyles and promote further research on pesticide exposure.
