Laurel Hind, an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, has been recognized with the Rising Star Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society - Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Special Interest Group. Her lab's research could have profound applications for the way in which patients who recover from sepsis are treated.
Three undergraduate researchers from Professor Al Weimer’s team received national poster awards at the 2024 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) annual meeting, held Oct. 28-31 in San Diego.
Bowman Endowed Professor Jason Burdick of the BioFrontiers Institute and the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine.
Boulder researchers are developing a handheld device that could transform blood testing. Instead of needles and long waits for lab results, this sound-based system delivers accurate results in an hour from just a finger prick.
Boulder's undergraduate chemical engineering program jumped three spots to #11 in U.S. News & World Report rankings among its public institutions.
Paul Lichtey, Boulder alumnus (ChemEngr PhD'11), is the CEO of Forge Nano, an atomic layer deposition company which appears to have the most-developed technology to coat battery electrodes with metal oxides or nitrides. The technology improves both the energy capacity and the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries.
Professor Hendrik Heinz and his Boulder team, along with collaborators from University of California, Los Angeles, achieved a breakthrough that could boost clean energy production. The research was featured on the cover of the journal “Nature Catalysis” in July.
Batteries degrade over time, which is why older phones lose power faster. An international team led by Professor Mike Toney has uncovered the cause of this degradation, paving the way for improved batteries that could extend the range of electric vehicles and advance clean energy storage.
Scientists face a challenge in creating life-like materials to replace human tissues, which are both strong and stretchable. A Boulder-led team, including Professor Jason Burdick, has developed a 3D-printing method to create materials that are elastic enough for a beating heart, tough enough for joints, and easily shaped to fit a patient's unique needs.
Assistant Professor Ankur Gupta has been selected as the winner of the inaugural Johannes Lyklema Early Career Award in Electrokinetics, given by the International Electrokinetics Society.
