Quing Zhu, a renowned biomedical engineer who has developed advanced imaging techniques to diagnose cancers of the reproductive system and in other areas, has been named the Edwin H. Murty Professor of Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering.

A new analysis of fine particulate matter exposure led by researchers in Randall Martin’s lab in the McKelvey School of Engineering illuminates ways to improve health in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar.

Proof-of-concept device could also monitor for flu, RSV, other respiratory viruses.

Researchers from Zhen (Jason) He’s lab at the McKelvey School of Engineering use advanced technologies to recover valuable resources from wastewater. They recently demonstrated a promising pathway to treat solid sludge and recover usable phosphorus.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis found the first abiotic pathway for RNA hydrolysis in iron-rich soils and sediments. Understanding how RNA breaks down under given conditions is critical to harnessing the molecule for use in emerging technologies.

Neal Patwari and graduate students Francesca Bonetta-Misteli and Di Huang at the McKelvey School of Engineering found that even while pulse oximeters have been adjusted to account for darker skin tones, bias remains and must be fixed.

A deep neural network model proposed by a faculty member at the McKelvey School of Engineering has been shown to boost the effectiveness of average and below average major league pitchers.

In a study published in Medical Physics, researchers in the lab of Abhinav Jha at the McKelvey School of Engineering evaluated artificial intelligence techniques for cleaning up medical images based on performance in clinical tasks.

With funding from the National Science Foundation, William Yeoh at the McKelvey School of Engineering will use artificial intelligence to develop a fair, equitable and efficient scheduling system for courts.

A team from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and Massachusetts Institute of Technology has created an acoustic microfluidic method that offers new opportunities to conduct experiments with swimming cells and microorganisms.
