Professor Manoj Chaudhury, the Franklin Howes Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering was recently interviewed by C&E News about the possible role of silicone in the failure of brake-light switches in Subaru vehicles.
Natasha Vermaak’s leading work on the cyclic inelastic design of materials and structures in complex multi-axial high temperature environments using her thermostructural rig is featured in a case study recently published by MTS Systems Corporation, a provider of testing and sensing solutions.
Under normal, healthy circulatory conditions, the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) keeps to itself. The large and mysterious multimeric glycoprotein moves through the blood, balled up tightly, its reaction sites unexposed. But when significant bleeding occurs, it springs into action, initiating the clotting process.

This MechE professor takes cues from the noiseless flight of the owl.
It was recently reported that the number of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed 1,000, making it the second-worst outbreak in history after the 2014 outbreak in West Africa in which 29,000 people were infected and more than 11,000 died. This latest milestone is a stark reminder of the urgent need to develop effective prevention and treatment agents for this frequently deadly disease.
Nader Motee, an associate professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics, has been selected to receive a 2019 Best SICON Paper Prize, presented by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory (SIAG/CST).
We don’t think much of electricity or the wonders of its generation and distribution until a particularly bad storm descends and suddenly we need our cars to charge our phones, our grills to cook our food, and if we’re lucky, our still-connected friends to lend us their hot showers.
The reality is that our electric grid represents a delicate balance.
The Industrial and Systems Engineering Department is pleased to welcome Daniel P. Robinson as an Associate Professor beginning on July 1, 2019.
