Sid Pathak, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, is the university lead in a project selected by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) to develop next-generation materials critical to commercializing fusion power.
The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Annual Student Conference is in the books, and the tradition of strong recognition for ISU CBE students has continued.
“I love cybersecurity because of the ability to help and protect others. It’s the ability to have real-world impact, and I never have to question whether my work matters,” says John Beuter, cybersecurity engineering major.
“Cyber House Rock!” is a fresh and helpful way for people to learn a few basics about securing their digital information. The series of music videos, with more to come, launched today during Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
“To me, being a Cyclone Engineer means believing in yourself to rise to a challenge, being willing to lean on others around you to learn from, and letting yourself enjoy the journey,” – Morgan Ambourn (BS ‘21, MS ‘22 CprE).
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.
It was an afternoon of celebration and remembrance when the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering inducted the third class into the ECpE Hall of Fame.
Teaching Excellence (TEX) and Research Excellence (REX) Awards for summer 2024 have been presented to four Department of Aerospace Engineering graduate students.
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.
Research by Anson Marston Distinguished Professor in Engineering and Murray Harpole Chair in Engineering Valery Levitas looks at plastic strain-induced phase transformations in silicon. It has seen publication in Nature Communications.
Bion Pierson, a noted aerospace engineering researcher and member of the Department of Aerospace Engineering faculty for 43 years, has passed away.
“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.
The researchers will analyze multiple years of real outage data from Ames, Dayton and Indianapolis to see how often there are problems and how long it takes to recover from them.
Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering faculty member Nigel Reuel has received the 2024 American Chemical Society BIOT Young Investigator Award.
