保罗Lichtey, CU Boulder alumnus (ChemEngr 博士学位'11), is the CEO of Forge Nano, an atomic layer deposition company which appears to have the most-developed technology to coat battery electrodes with metal oxides or nitrides. The technology improves both the energy capacity and the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries.
Professor Hendrik Heinz and his CU Boulder team, along with collaborators from University of California, 洛杉矶, achieved a breakthrough that could boost clean energy production. The research was featured on the cover of the journal “Nature Catalysis” in July.
Batteries degrade over time, which is why older phones lose power faster. An international team led by Professor Mike Toney has uncovered the cause of this degradation, paving the way for improved batteries that could extend the range of electric vehicles and advance clean energy storage.
Scientists face a challenge in creating life-like materials to replace human tissues, which are both strong and stretchable. 科罗拉多大学博尔德领导的团队, including Professor Jason Burdick, has developed a 3D-printing method to create materials that are elastic enough for a beating heart, tough enough for joints, and easily shaped to fit a patient's unique needs.
In a study published May 1 in the journal ACS Energy Letters, researchers at CU Boulder and collaborators proposed a more sustainable design for capturing CO2 and converting it to fuels.
金道格拉斯教授, a former member of the Department of 化学 and 生物工程 faculty, passed away on July 5 in a car accident. 他58岁.
CU Boulder's 材料科学 and 工程 Program received a $1M grant to fund doctoral research training in biofabrication, a field that enables precise and effective ways to study and treat medical conditions, such as growing new organs or repairing damaged tissues.
The Department of 化学 and 生物工程 is proud to introduce two new teaching assistant professors: Katie O'Harra, specializing in polymers and dedicated to highlighting the societal impacts of chemical engineering, 和特雷弗·富兰克林, who brings a diverse background from both industry and academia, including NSF-funded engineering education.
Professor Ryan Hayward has witnessed the continued advancement of the Department of 化学 and 生物工程 since he joined CU Boulder four years ago. Now he’s looking forward to stepping into his new role as department chair.
When compared with its public university peers, the 工程学院 and 应用科学’s graduate program was ranked No. 12.
