McKelvey School of Engineering

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.

Biomedical researchers at WashU McKelvey Engineering have developed a new imaging technique that captures the dynamic coupling between the brain’s vasculature and its neurons. The new microscopy tool could help lead to breakthroughs in studying stroke and dementia.

Scott Mitchell harnesses the power of robotic machines to create wow-worthy structures.

A scholarship and engaged professors accelerated Michael Lefenfeld’s success and motivate him to support WashU.

With a grant from the National Science Foundation, WashU computer engineer Shantanu Chakrabartty will design hybrid neuromorphic and quantum computing systems that could unlock huge energy efficiencies in solving artificial intelligence problems.

A grant from the Department of Defense will fund WashU research to make materials that deter aquatic organisms from attaching to surfaces. The work could have applications for anything in wet environments including medical devices for the human body and membranes used in desalinization.

WashU researchers are working on ways to use machine learning to not just make predictions about potential chemical compounds but also to model out the synthesis of those materials.

With a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation, WashU’s Umar Iqbal proposes to redesign the web with infrastructures that will allow AI agents to reliably use it.

New research from the lab of WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Srikanth Singamaneni shows the early success of a microneedle patch that can be applied on the skin to capture biomarkers of kidney injury. It may one day support home or point-of-care monitoring.
