McKelvey School of Engineering

Research led by WashU McKelvey Engineering’s James Friend aims to crack the code of atomization for future aircraft engines.

Biomedical engineer Ismael Seáñez along with collaborators from WashU Medicine will study the effects of delivering transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation only when the person intends to move, thanks to a three-year $400,000 grant from the Craig S. Neilsen Foundation.

Recent work from researchers in the lab of Matthew Lew at WashU McKelvey Engineering found that polarized light patterns can improve how precisely microscopes measure the orientation of single molecules.

With the advent of Google AI Overviews, Google has unprecedented editorial control over what users read and know, according to Jacob Montgomery, a WashU Arts & Sciences political scientist.

Biomedical engineers at WashU McKelvey Engineering developed an additive manufacturing method using a 3D printer that builds bioelectronic materials from collagen and a polymer that can carry electrical signals, work that could ultimately improve the function of medical implants.

Mechanical engineers in James Friend’s lab at WashU McKelvey Engineering received a grant to use ultrasound to make fuel droplets smaller, overcoming some of the challenges of detonation-based propulsion engines.

About 400 WashU students turned out for “What’s Your Summer Scoop?”, hosted by the Center for Career Engagement. Students shared information about their internships, fellowships, research experiences, summer jobs and volunteer service. The center will use that information to provide experiential learning resources.

Researchers at the McKelvey School of Engineering developed a process to use waste materials in the production of carbon fiber, a key step to more sustainable manufacturing and stronger material design.

WashU’s Rohit Pappu and Tanja Mittag at St. Jude received renewed research funding to continue foundational work in studying the basis of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS and frontotemporal dementia.

Provost Mark D. West has appointed a 13-member search committee to identify candidates for the position of dean of the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.
