McKelvey School of Engineering

James Friend has been named the Stephen F. and Camilla T. Brauer Distinguished Professor at the WashU McKelvey School of Engineering.

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.

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.

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.

WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Lan Yang and her team have developed a new sensing technique to detect nanoparticles.

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.

WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Chi Li received a grant from NASA to fine-tune a tool that will be used to understand how weather and atmospheric conditions evolve over time.

Researchers at WashU McKelvey Engineering studied how neuromodulators alter odor processing in locusts.

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.
