WashU student selected for Anthropic AI for Science program
Ziqi Xu, a doctoral student in computer science and engineering at the WashU McKelvey School of Engineering, has been selected for Anthropic’s AI for Science program.
Harnessing atomic structure to advance semiconductor technology
McKelvey Engineering’s Rohan Mishra is helping to unlock the power of atomically thin materials to improve silicon-based transistors. The goal is to enable vastly more efficient electronic devices.
WashU engineers earn honors from aerosol science group
The American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) has honored two engineers from the McKelvey School of Engineering at WashU.
Plant-inspired natural coatings can beat forever chemicals
WashU McKelvey Engineering researchers have developed a PFAS alternative that serves as an effective waterproof coating. It makes use of plant waste and can provide waterproof seals without the toxic downstream effects of PFAS on human health and the environment.
Friend installed as Stephen F. and Camilla T. Brauer Distinguished Professor
James Friend has been named the Stephen F. and Camilla T. Brauer Distinguished Professor at the WashU McKelvey School of Engineering.
Locusts get a sensory assist from nanomaterials
Researchers from WashU McKelvey Engineering have developed a hybrid system that augments organisms including locusts to serve as sample collectors for chemical vapors. The work has implications for homeland security, environmental and industrial monitoring and healthcare.
Osteoarthritis therapy study advances with $17 million from ARPA-H
The funding will support a WashU Medicine collaboration with CRISPR Therapeutics and SynGenix, a WashU startup, to move a single-injection treatment to reverse joint damage into clinical trials.
In the clouds
Under a new grant from the NSF, a WashU team will use AI and statistics to study the impact of aerosols on marine low clouds. That knowledge can help communities protect health and prepare for extreme weather.
New sensor detects, classifies freely flowing particles without labels
WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Lan Yang and her team have developed a new sensing technique to detect nanoparticles.
New building blocks expand functions of photonic chips
McKelvey Engineering researchers Sang-Hoon Bae and Lan Yang collaborated to establish a framework for heterogeneous integrated photonic chips, enabling multiple functions on a single chip with greater freedom to combine materials and design devices.
