The funding will allow Ghosh and his research group to further investigate what causes tissue degeneration when cells and genes are stretched beyond their physiological limit, and how the process can be intervened through medicine.
Mechanical engineering professor Mostafa Yourdkhani has been awarded the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award for his research on advanced manufacturing of composite materials.
The partnership program allows students in the San Luis Valley, who often can’t afford to move away from home to pursue a college degree, to attend classes at Adams State and earn the same CSU mechanical engineering Bachelor of Science degree offered on the CSU Fort Collins campus.
Yourdkhani’s freeform carbon fiber composite research eliminates the need for molds and support materials, making manufacturing more cost effective and energy efficient.
Algae takes less water than other alternative materials used to make sustainable biofuels, according to new research by Mechanical Engineering researcher David Quiroz.
Xinfeng Gao, an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was recently recognized with the Outstanding Achievement Award for Women in Aerospace and an NSF Mid-Career Advancement Award, for her research accomplishments in aerospace engineering.
Dumitrache’s current research project targets Mach 5 airplanes, or planes that fly at five times the speed of sound—how can you keep the flame of an engine ignited when it’s moving a such a high speed?
“What we’re proposing with our research is to address water quality issues while producing biofuels.”
Two summer camp programs offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering this year gave middle and high school students a look at possible futures in STEM careers.
Twenty six students from CSU and universities across the nation participated in 10-week research programs that prepared them for graduate school and future careers in STEM.
