For their capstone Senior Design project, mechanical engineering students developed a new manufacturing process that will allow blind people to manufacture their own canes.

The annual contest brings together first-year mechanical engineering students vying for victory in a race of their small homemade vehicles.

The AstroJays, an undergraduate rocketry team, traveled to California to compete in a Friends of Amateur Rocketry competition earlier this summer.

The Gordon Research Conference has selected Beijun Shen, Mostafa Omar, and Bohan Sun to present at this year's event.

Congratulations to our 2022 Departmental Convocation Award winners.

The Robbins prize was instigated in 2020 to recognize outstandingly talented PhD students who reflect Dr. Robbins contributions to computational science and engineering.

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.

Rau has been awarded the Provost’s Undergraduate Research Award (PURA) for his project titled “Atomistic Simulations of Dislocation Mechanisms in Nanotwinned Ni-Mo-W Alloys.”

Frérot received the award for his thesis was on “Bridging Scales in Wear Modeling with Volume Integral Methods for Elastic-Plastic Contact.”

The four-year, $182,080 grant will provide Pittman with mentored research training and will support his dissertation work, which focuses on the role of viscosity in basic cell behavior and function.

Cristina Martin-Linares, a mechanical engineering PhD candidate at Johns Hopkins University, has been awarded the prestigious ”la Caixa” Fellowship.

Jung is the first Johns Hopkins student to receive the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award (F99/K00).
