Engineers build zero-trust, real-time cybersecurity tools to protect renewables on the grid
An Iowa State engineer is leading development of cybersecurity tools to guard power grids that carry renewable energy resources such as such as wind or solar farms. The researchers will develop “zero-trust” tools to reduce cyber exposure. The U.S. Department of Energy is supporting the project.
Graduate students Ashley, Digavalli, Harris, Eghbalpur receive TEX-REX Awards
Teaching Excellence (TEX) and Research Excellence (REX) Awards for summer 2024 have been presented to four Department of Aerospace Engineering graduate students.
Iowa high school students meet, learn, play at Youth Cyber Summit
The Iowa Cyber Hub is bringing Iowa high school students to the Iowa State University campus for a Youth Cyber Summit. They’ll meet, learn about cybersecurity, and maybe do some “adversarial thinking.” It’s part of a Cybersecurity Ambassador Program established a year ago to train and post “a legion of cyber guardians” around the state to help improve hometown cybersecurity for Iowans.
Researchers study 3D printing tungsten parts for extreme conditions in nuclear reactors
Sougata Roy and his DREAM-TEAM collaborators are studying 3D printing as an alternative way to process tungsten for use as shields and other components in nuclear reactors. The project is supported by a new, $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Strategic plan investment at the Bioeconomy Institute may speed discoveries
Mechanical engineering doctoral students Sarah Tyree and Madeleine McMahon use a new gas chromatography machine in a lab in the Biorenewables Complex. A strategic plan award last year purchased several pieces of equipment that will expand research capabilities at the Bioeconomy Institute.
Levitas research produces a breakthrough finding in silicon phase transformations
