  • Christoph Keplinger
    Pushing the boundaries of science requires flexibility. Allowing scientists to follow where their research takes them, even if that is into areas that may seem illogical to some, often is what leads to the most remarkable breakthroughs. For some
  • Chris Bowman in lab
    The National Academy of Medicine has elected Professor Christopher Bowman of the University of Colorado Boulder to its ranks.Bowman, a faculty member in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering since 1992, is a

  • Al Weimer
    The award recognizes Weimer’s lifetime of scientific achievement, including fundamental understanding, discovery, engineering scale-up and commercialization of processes to synthesize ultrafine ceramic powders and to apply nanoscale films to ultrafine particle surfaces.
  • NSF award recipients
    Three CU Engineering researchers have won CAREER Awards, the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious award for junior faculty.CAREER Awards provide approximately $500,000 over five years for those “who have the potential to serve as academic
  • Christy Bozic talks with an EMP student.

  • bridge
    Not many students have built three footbridges in their college career, but since his sophomore year, architectural engineering graduate Jay Arehart has worked to build and lead the CU Boulder chapter of Bridges to Prosperity (B2P). The student chapter has built hundreds of footbridges across the world to provide communities with safe access over dangerous rivers to healthcare, education and markets.
  • Christine Hrenya teaching
    The flow and movement of individual solid particles — be it grains of lunar dust or the powdered contents of a medication — holds tremendous research value for scientists in a variety of fields. Now, a $3 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) will allow University of Colorado Boulder researchers to simulate particle behavior to a greater degree than ever before.
  • Derek Driggs
    You might call someone like Derek Driggs a big-data whisperer, looking through enormous sets of computational information to find what's corrupt or missing.
    Driggs studies applied mathematics and has become the third CU Boulder student ever to receive the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, established in 2000, for doctoral studies at Cambridge University in England. The highly competitive award is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
