One-fifth of traffic deaths in the U.S. involve pedestrians and bicyclists, a rising trend that UWM’s Robert Schneider (urban planning) and Xiao Qin (civil engineering) are examining in detail. Schneider presented the research he and Qin are working on at …
Mohammad Habib Rahman’s pioneering research in assistive and rehabilitation robotics has been recognized with an Office of Research/UWM Foundation Award. Rahman, Richard and Joanne Grigg Professor of mechanical engineering, is an expert in rehabilitation robotics, assistive robotics, mobile robots, control …
Woo-Jin Chang, associate professor, mechanical engineering, has secured a patent for a graphene-based sensor developed in his lab specifically for detecting phosphates in water. Co-inventors and UWM graduates Misong Ryu and Mohammad Rizwen Ur Rahman are also on the patent, …
The U.S. Navy wants to move to all-electric ships because they are more efficient and require less maintenance than traditional fuel-propelled ships. They also reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Producing smaller, more agile ships that have increased electrical capacity …
Most of the scientists attending the workshop “Sustainable Computing for Sustainability,” hosted by the National Science Foundation last spring, were computer scientists developing algorithms for more nuanced sustainability and climate-change models. Rina Ghose, professor, industrial engineering, was one of the …
John R. (’88 BS & ‘89 MS Computer Science) and Kathryn A. (‘96 MBA) Morency have pledged a $10,000 gift to fund an undergraduate scholarship for UWM students pursuing a degree in computer science or computer engineering. Eligible students must …
Congratulations to the following 10 faculty members, each of whom was honored with a named professorship or named fellowship, backed by three donor funds: Richard and Joanne Grigg, Lawrence E. Sivak and Alan D. Kulwicki. Through these gifts, the college …
Identifying proteins for new drugs to treat triple-negative breast cancer. Creating a threat-modeling system to enhance cybersecurity in manufacturing. Developing an improved material for solar cells. These are among the projects from the College of Engineering & Applied Science funded …
Imagine a robotic arm that could one day allow scientists to hold and “touch” objects on other planets without leaving Earth. Or a model that will give scientists a full picture of how a new, 3D-printed metal super-alloy will behave …
Congratulations to the UWM student chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), which was awarded the “Best Overall Chapter Performance Recognition Award” in the 2024 national competition. In addition, mechanical engineering graduate student Areej Khalil was selected as the …
