Materials science and engineering doctoral students Eric Fowler and Anitha Ravikrishnan received the Best Poster Award at the Gordon Research Seminar on Multi-Scale Adhesion Mechanics and Signaling
Shining a Light On Gene Regulation
A team of biomedical engineers is laying the groundwork for a method to inhibit cancer-promoting genes in cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact.
Balancing Act
Chemical engineering student recognized for interests outside the classroom and laboratory
Achieving A Balance of Power
A UD research team solved the 6 degree-of-freedom segmental power imbalance in human movement, an important mathematical discrepancy in biomechanics.
A Glimpse Inside Bones, Joints, Tendons, and More
In laboratories across the University of Delaware, scholars are uncovering new insights about the human body: how a compound in red wine might protect joint cartilage from damage, how bad posture wears down the discs in your back, how your knee heals after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, and more.
Electrical and Computer Engineering Honors
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) recognized outstanding students and alumni at ECE Research Day on May 2, 2018.
Engineers Receive UD Dissertation Prizes
Axel Moore and Christopher Long received prizes at the University of Delaware’s doctoral hooding ceremony, held Friday, May 25, for their dissertations.
Adapting apps for high-powered computing
A modern-day version of the 20th-century space race, companies and governments worldwide are scurrying to build an what’s called an exascale computer, which could do a billion billion calculations per second. UD computer scientists team with Oak Ridge National Lab to program apps for next-generation supercomputer.
Searching for the Big Picture
Essential information about medical discoveries is often buried inside the graphs, charts, photographs, and other images that illustrate research journals. Large-scale analysis of images along with the text could soon be possible, thanks to a $1.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Programming DNA to deliver cancer drugs
DNA has an important job—it tells your cells which proteins to make. Now, a research team at UD has developed technology to program strands of DNA into switches that turn proteins on and off.
Smart glass
Someday we won’t need curtains or blinds on our windows, and we will be able to block out light-or let it in-with just the press of a button. At least that’s what these two UD engineers hope.
Detecting Hidden Threats
UD professor and post-doctoral fellow are developing technology to detect explosive devices from a distance, thanks to a five-year, $1M grant from the U.S. Army Research Office.
