HYPER-Melt device analyzes small volumes of fluids, detecting genetic and epigenetic changes more efficiently and cost-effectively than other devices currently on the market.
Mechanical Engineering PhD student Aditya Aiyer was recently featured by Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) for his research on the dynamics between oil droplets and turbulent flows.
Farshid Alambeigi, a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was recently named a 2019 Siebel Scholar, an annual award that recognizes nearly 100 of the top graduate students nationwide in business, bioengineering, computer science, and energy science programs.
Mechanical engineer Jeff Wang and physician Charlotte Gaydos will oversee the development of a tool to detect the presence and severity of infections like gonorrhea.
MechE Force is an e-newsletter distributed to students, alumni, and friends of the JHU Mechanical Engineering Department. We recently published our Winter 2018 issue, which can be found in its entirety by clicking here. In this issue: A message from Professor Gretar Tryggvason, Mechanical Engineering Department Head Features An Electric Finding Noah Cowan and his […]
Welcome to the Fall 2018 issue of MechE Force. I am pleased to share with you a snapshot of our many activities and accomplishments in the last several months. This is truly an exciting time here in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The fall semester always brings new faces – this year, we welcome 57 undergraduates and […]
A team of researchers led by mechanical engineering professor Noah Cowan has successfully designed and tested a new system that could be used to help researchers and naturalists collect valuable environmental and wildlife data in sensitive natural habitats, such as in South America’s Amazon River basin. Their study, published recently in Nature Scientific Reports, centered […]
New faculty member Rui Ni aims to deepen our understanding of fluid dynamics from a physicist’s perspective. Fluid dynamics is of paramount importance not only to understand biological processes like blood flow and breathing, but also in designing devices and industrial processes that play a critical role in our daily lives. Everyday tasks such as boiling […]

An team of Hopkins engineers, including MechE professors Noah Cowan and Thao (Vicky) Nguyen, has received a $2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to build and program tiny, soft robots. The robots are expected to respond autonomously to environmental and physiological cues, an important step toward building soft robots that could travel through […]
