“We have made significant progress in 3D printing hydrogels into porous 3D structures, which is a challenging task due to the softness of these materials. Vat photopolymerization of biocompatible hydrogel systems has proven to be an efficient strategy to achieve well-defined porous architectures,” Kirillova said.
At the end of the year, Iver Anderson will wind down a long and storied career as a senior metallurgist for Ames National Laboratory.

I am an Embedded Software Engineer for an obstacle intelligence team at John Deere. My responsibilities are primarily working on embedded systems to implement obstacle intelligence on construction equipment.
Dennis Vigil, Reginald R. Baxter Endowed Department Chair of Chemical and Biological Engineering and CoMFRE faculty researcher, alongside Zengyi Shao, associate professor of chemical and biological engineering and Hershel B. Whitney Professor, Global Initiatives, are leading the development of a continuous bioreactor that integrates product extraction and separation into the design, so less equipment is …Continue reading “CoMFRE’s Dennis Vigil leads project to develop continuous bioreactor”
Olivia Tyrrell (mech engr ‘21) recently landed research on the moon in an area she has worked on since she was an undergrad researcher in the Center for Multiphase Flow Research and Education. As a junior, she joined the Multiphase Reacting Flow Lab, working under the mentorship of James Michael, associate professor of mechanical engineering and CoMFRE faculty research. “Dr. Michael introduced …Continue reading “Thanks to CoMFRE undergrad research experience, Olivia Tyrrell shot for the moon… and made it”
Professor Long Que has been developing a blood vessel mimicking platform with quantitative flow control, both flow rate and flow direction, quantitative control of pharmacological agents on platelets and the ability of monitoring the behaviors of platelets at a single cell level.
Associate Professor Timothy Bigelow plans to use ultrasound therapy to combat these biofilms on medical devices; and has chosen hernia mesh as a good candidate for a proof-of-concept example.
Lameness in dairy cattle is a major health and welfare concern, and perhaps one of the costliest clinical diseases for dairy operations. Timely identification of lameness is necessary to institute early treatment, reduce use of antibiotics, and improve treatment outcomes.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Student Organization (GO-ECpE) serves to foster a sense of community and professional development for the ECpE graduate student body.
“Cyclone Engineering is a community feeling and ease of networking. I have been able to take part in so many opportunities because of how willing everyone is to work together and communicate. Often a simple email opens a door that I could never imagine it could open.:
“As a Cyclone Engineer, I would like to use technology to design and improve processes that will help guide us toward a more sustainable future. Additionally, I hope to have a positive impact on my peers and one day be able to provide mentorship because it’s only when we help set up future generations that we will have truly made our impact on the world.”
The greatest challenge was finding the balance of time between classes, research and family so
that I could succeed professionally while still being a devoted father and husband.
I was fortunate to find Dr. Cornelius, and he understands the challenges as a father and as an atypical student.
Sunil Gaitonde (MS ’85 computer engineering, PhD ‘88) has combined state-of-the-art technology development with an entrepreneurial spirit to lead success at companies that help businesses manage and build their online capabilities.
