Wenzhen Li, professor of chemical and biological engineering and the Herbert L. Stiles Faculty Fellow, will lead Iowa State’s work on the new $4 million project, joined by Liang Dong, the Vikram L. Dalal Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and other colleagues
“What could be more important than using engineering skills to keep people safer – especially at their jobs?” said Sarah Ng, senior in industrial engineering. “If technology can be used to mitigate risk, that’s what I want to be doing.” Ng is co-founder of SafetyScan with Phillip Gorni, senior in aerospace engineering.
Dakota Belling (civil engineering grad) and Eugene Meyer (industrial engineering grad) met for the first time on September 1, 2022. Today, less than a year later, the highly ambitious duo are business partners and co-founders of Bovi-Jet, an automated medicinal spraying system for cattle.
Saikat Mukherjee’s research focus is biological transport and fluid dynamics, more specifically transport in the brain under neurological disorders, microbial dynamics, and front propagation in chaotic fluid flows.
10 days, 1,000 miles – that’s how much Cyclone Engineer Dirk Maier is riding this week on RAGBRAI to raise money for Iowa State Engineers Without Border’s sustainable engineering projects with the Ullo, Ghana, community.
Theodore (Ted) J. Heindel, the Bergles Professor of Thermal Science, University Professor of mechanical engineering, and director of Iowa State’s Center for Multiphase Flow Research and Education (CoMFRE), has been selected to receive the 2023 Freeman Scholar Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
W. Samuel Easterling, James L. and Katherine S. Melsa Dean of Engineering at Iowa State University, and Jerome F. Hajjar, CDM Smith Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern receive award.
The third International Interactive Symposium on Ultra-High Performance Concrete brought together nearly 300 UHPC researchers, engineers, industry representatives, and students in Delaware – but UHPC research and industry leadership in the state of Iowa stood strong at the event.
Cris Schwartz, professor of mechanical engineering, has been named College of Engineering assistant dean for engineering student success.
Nigel Reuel and two of his doctoral students – Yee Chan and Sakib Ferdous – are developing advanced tools for cell manufacturing that could improve the cost and availability of therapeutic cells capable of fighting diseases such as cancers, heart disease, lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
Cyclone Engineers lead a state-wide effort to make Iowa a leader in advanced biomanufacturing. Researchers will use microbes and other biological systems to produce plastics for 3D printing, fibers for flexible and rigid materials and proteins for medical diagnostics and therapeutics.
“I’m really excited about the progression of technology and the potential to contribute to that – and proud of my family’s connections to Iowa State. And I’m ready to get out there in the work world to continue my commitment to empowering other women in STEM.”
“My professors and classmates have given me something to look forward to every single day – just by being themselves. There’s no way to quantify the impact I have had on the people around me, but if it’s anywhere close to how they have influenced me, then that is something that I am very proud of.”
“My contribution to the Cyclone Engineering community that I am most proud of is being a LEAD peer mentor and helping first year students find their way at Iowa State. As a student leader, I have focused on giving back to the community through community service, community events and sustainable projects.”
“Developing the Engineering Ambassadors Network into the group that it is now is a contribution to the community that I am most proud of. I also hope that some of the K-12 students we work with will choose to pursue engineering and see it as a career that is attainable to them regardless of their ethnicity, gender or current experience.”
