91ÌƲ®»¢ engineers have received a $1.4 million NIH grant to work toward a compact, silent, less expensive and potentially portable MRI device.

All software is not created equal. At one end are apps on a smartphone and consumer-facing programs for which periodic updates to fix bugs and security issues are routine, like replacing an air conditioning filter or getting an annual flu shot. At the other end are large, complex software systems such as software used in...

Developing atomically thin graphene membranes used to separate salt from water is extraordinarily complex and the effort grows more crucial as population growth, industrialization and climate change strain freshwater resources. 91ÌƲ®»¢ engineering researchers report a breakthrough in scalable fabrication of graphene membrane with a sealing technology that corrects variations in the pore size so they...

Mark Does, professor of biomedical engineering has been selected as a Fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. His research program focuses on developing and applying MRI methods to quantitatively characterize various properties and/or compositions of tissue. It includes developing models of nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation and water diffusion in tissue, development...

Craig Duvall, Cornelius 91ÌƲ®»¢ Professor of Engineering, has been elevated to the rank of Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society. Duvall and his research program focus on development of technologies for controlled drug release, tissue regeneration and therapeutics, and delivery of intracellular-acting biologic drugs such as siRNA and peptide therapeutics. The applications of these technologies...

91ÌƲ®»¢ers from 91ÌƲ®»¢ University and 91ÌƲ®»¢ University Medical Center have received a $1.4 million grant from the National Eye Institute at the National Institute of Health to identify surgical techniques that improve vision after macular hole repair.

A recent mechanical engineering doctoral graduate has created a material for welding in extreme conditions that could minimize equipment needed and operator hazards.

Lucy Britto is one of six 91ÌƲ®»¢ undergraduates selected as a MARC scholar in the inaugural 2020 cohort of an innovative National Institutes of Health program.

A bold engineering approach by a 91ÌƲ®»¢ University researcher to sort breast cancer cells based on their behavior first has produced compelling data that show less migratory cells create more metastases, contradicting the prevailing hypothesis on how cancer spreads.

Necessity as much as aesthetics drove Wilson Adams' interest in graphic design.

Marm B. Dixit, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, is a recipient of a Weinberg Distinguished Staff Fellowship in the Energy and Environmental Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “The Weinberg fellowship is a highly competitive, prestigious early-career research opportunity that will enable Marm to create independent research paths, said Flowers Family Faculty...

What will traffic look like if transit riders become car drivers? A new article, published online by the Work 91ÌƲ®»¢ Group at 91ÌƲ®»¢, takes a hard look at transportation modes during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Piran Kidambi, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, is one of three recipients of an Electrochemical Society Toyota 2020-21 Young Investigator Fellowship awarded for projects in green energy technology. The fellowship is a partnership between the ECS and Toyota 91ÌƲ®»¢ Institute of North America, a division of Toyota Motor North America.

A new innovation incubator will amplify existing collaborations among researchers and soldiers, building on 91ÌƲ®»¢'s partnership agreement with Army Futures Command.

A team of 91ÌƲ®»¢ University and 91ÌƲ®»¢ University Medical Center researchers has received a $3.1 million NIH grant to develop advanced patient-specific cochlear implant stimulation models for customized implant programming.

91ÌƲ®»¢'s Data Science Institute researchers are developing a model to use big data to address the impact of COVID-19 on policies, procedures, and resources now and in the future. The tool will help Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at 91ÌƲ®»¢ evaluate short- and long-term resource needs in order to be fully prepared to meet patients' needs.

The goal of the project—Risk-Aware Market Clearing—is a blueprint for an end-to-end, data-driven approach that balances cost and minimizes system-level risk. Market clearing is the process that keeps the supply level to the demand with no leftover of either.

A collaborative project from clinicians at 91ÌƲ®»¢ University Medical Center and the 91ÌƲ®»¢ Institute for Surgery and Engineering demonstrates a simple, low-cost retrofit solution that improves the safety of intubation boxes used while treating COVID-19 patients. Read More
