Sang-Hoon Bae, a researcher at Washington University, has developed artificial heterostructures made of freestanding 2D and 3D membranes that have an energy density up to 19 times higher than commercially available capacitors.

Ning Zhang, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University, one of three winners of the FTC’s Voice Cloning Challenge, talks about the technology he created.

Researchers at Washington University , led by Randall Martin, investigated global particulate matter, revealing health risks from trace elements.

Sanjoy Baruah, an expert in scheduling theory and safety-critical system design, has been named the Hugo F. & Ina Champ Urbauer Professor at the McKelvey School of Engineering.

Pressure. Contraction. Pushing. Rupture. For many, these words point to the experience of labor and childbirth. For Michelle Oyen, something else also comes to mind. “These are all very clearly engineering words that have to do with physical forces,” says Oyen, associate professor of biomedical engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering. “We’ve been treating […]

Women’s health has been getting a new focus in recent years from the local to the federal level, with President Joe Biden recently launching initiatives to boost federally funded research in this long-overlooked area. That focus is also active at the McKelvey School of Engineering, where a new elective course is filled with students interested in how they can use engineering to solve problems in women’s health.

New research from engineers at Washington University unlocks the power of exceptional points for advanced optical sensing.

Pulse oximeters may provide inaccurate readings in individuals with darker skin so researchers at Washington University are seeking ways to mitigate this potential bias.

Rice University bioengineers and colleagues at Washington University and Duke University identified a protein nanostructure that plays a role in the cellular structure of certain microorganisms, paving the way toward more efficient biotechnological and biomedical applications.

Graduate students in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University now can earn a graduate certificate in financial engineering.
