Mizzou Engineering students take honors at Show Me Research Week 2024
Nine engineering students took honors at Show Me Research Week, a collaboration between MU's Office of Undergraduate Research and the Bond Life Sciences Center, which included poster presentations, guest lectures and special activities. More than 55 engineering students presented.
Photo Album: Daughter Day 2024
Each Spring, Mizzou’s chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) invites girls from across the community to come visit Mizzou Engineering and learn more about STEM and engineering for Daughter Day.
Show me success: Students showcase work during Show Me Research Week
Judging from the innovative projects and research they presented this week, it’s evident that engineering students at Mizzou are getting ready to change the world. Show Me Research Week, held in April, gives students an opportunity to present the work that they conduct throughout the year in front of judges and other interested students and members of the Mizzou community.
Water and Environmental Research Lab team takes honors at statewide meeting
For the second year in a row, a Mizzou Engineering research group snagged an overall first place and a third-place award in the student poster competition at the joint annual meeting of the Missouri Water Works Association (MO-AWWA) and the Missouri Water Environmental Association (MWEA).
Engineers’ Week at Mizzou named best in the U.S. at national conference
It’s official — Mizzou Engineers’ Week was named Best Engineers’ Week at the 2024 National Association of Engineering Student Council (NAESC) Engineering Leadership Summit in New Mexico.
Presenting engineering undergraduate research to legislators: A Q&A with Ahhyun Lee
Ahhyun Lee was one of 13 Mizzou students selected to present her research at Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol last week. Read for a Q&A with Lee about her research, which focuses on using artificial intelligence to enhance protein function prediction.
Krishnaswamy earns CAREER Award for taking on the challenge of hidden hunger
More than 2 billion people suffer from hidden hunger, a form of malnutrition where individuals lack essential micronutrients — like vitamins and minerals — even though they consume what appears to be an adequate amount of calories. University of Missouri researcher Kiruba Krishnaswamy is focused on tackling this global challenge. She recently received a five-year, $532,000 Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) — the NSF’s most prestigious award for early-career faculty — in support of her project titled “FEAST (food ecosystems and circularity for sustainable transformation) framework to address hidden hunger.”
Gain technical skills and community by getting involved in undergraduate research
It’s Show Me Research Week, and engineering students are showing up to present work on the world’s most pressing problems. Kate Barnard has been involved in research since her sophomore year. A mechanical engineering student, she’s been working with civil engineering Assistant Professor Maryam Salehi on multiple research projects in order to reduce the number of microplastics in our water.
Engineering a multi-modal probe to detect neural, chemical, optical signals
A Mizzou Engineer and collaborators are developing a new type of neural probe that can improve basic understanding of brain circuits and ultimately lead to better treatments for neurological diseases. The novelty of the probe is in its multi-model sensing, said Yi Wang, an assistant professor of industrial and systems engineering. He is working on the project with researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. The team recently received a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation.
