Kang will work with AFRL researchers to design and fabricate programmable aerospace structures that can morph to various shapes in response to dynamically changing mission environments in energy-efficient ways.

These annual Convocation Awards highlight hard work and outstanding achievements in research, academics, mentoring, and community outreach.

A Johns Hopkins University-led team has created an inexpensive portable device and cellphone app to diagnose gonorrhea in less than 15 minutes and determine if a particular strain will respond to frontline antibiotics.

Engineering alum and budding inventor Jessamy Taylor loves being outdoors, scaling heights, and solving problems. Among them: a better way to adaptive climb

The award is given in recognition of outstanding teaching in WSE at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and a demonstrated dedication to students.

The students have designed and built a miniature dual-rotor, counter-rotating wind turbine capable of harvesting more energy from the wind in a smaller space. Their design, which they tested this semester in Maryland Hall’s wind tunnel, will compete in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Collegiate Wind Competition and be presented at the American Wind Energy Association’s CLEANPOWER virtual conference in June.

Led by Johns Hopkins University, a team of 10 researchers from three institutions is using a new $4 million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation to create a next-generation turbulence database that will enable groundbreaking research in engineering and the atmospheric and ocean sciences.

Rau, a third-year engineering mechanics major, has been awarded a Goldwater Scholarship for his research and achievements in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

Through neuroimaging, engineers discover that prosthetics that provide haptic sensory feedback lessen the mental energy users expend when using the device.

Jaafar El-Awady, associate professor of mechanical engineering, has co-authored research that reveals more clues about the microscopic mechanisms that govern the strength of metals. The findings were recently published in Nature Communications.

Kang has written a focus article about the fabrication of and potential applications for an electrically-controlled shape-memory microactuator that operates in a solution matching the ion concentration of the human body.

Robots helped hospitals confront the coronavirus pandemic. What lessons are engineers taking with them as they think about the next generation of health care robots?
