Adam Holewinski, an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, has been awarded a prestigious fellowship to research efficient ways to produce sustainable chemical products and fuels using electricity from renewable sources like solar and wind.
Christopher Calderon, PhD, will give a talk, "A Review of Some Data-Driven Modeling Applications Fueled by Optical Microscopy, on May 2.
Mallory Palizzi, a junior studying chemical engineering, conducts research with a graduate student in the Boulder Experimental Electronics and Manufacturing (BEEM) Laboratory on East Campus. Palizzi says she was hired through the SPUR program for the summer, and the lab later decided to extend her position though the academic school year.
Building with Fluids: A Lazy Approach to Fabrication Speaker: Pierre-Thomas Brun, assistant professor, chemical and biological engineering, Princeton University Host: Ryan Hayward Tuesday, April 25, 2023 — 2:45 p.m., JSCBB A108
In this issue of Powder Technology, Professor Alan Weimer describes his commercial path for two new powder processing technologies that resulted in two new businesses. Both developments began as laboratory curiosities and had to overcome significant skepticism and technical and financial challenges along the way.
Simon Kalmus, an alumnus of the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department, is working with Brian DeDecker, a teaching associate professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä’s iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) student research team to develop a way to engineer soybeans that produce scarce ingredients for cancer drugs, vaccines and infant formula—while going easy on the planet.
Chemical and Biological Engineering PhD student Max Yavitt is the lead author on a new paper in Science Advances that focuses on human intestinal tissue research. The work could allow researchers to control the shape of intestinal tissue cultured outside of the body – allowing for better study of physical changes due to injury or illness.
Assistant Chemical and Biological Engineering Professor Ankur Gupta received a $517,000, 5-year CAREER award to optimize performance of capacitive desalination and supercapacitor technologies. His research for the two disparate processes involves a technical commonality: porous electrodes to maximize performance.
Professor Robert H. Davis is known throughout ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder’s College of Engineering and Applied Science as an outstanding leader for his 25-year tenure as the Chemical and Biological Engineering department chair and then the dean of the college. Davis recently added another accolade to his extensive list of accomplishments: Distinguished Professor, the highest honor bestowed upon tenured faculty across the University of Colorado’s four campuses.
