ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½

With his face pressed against the glass of the airport window, a young Brian Taylor asked his father who was responsible for building airplanes. When his father told him it was the job of aeronautical engineers, he knew that was the career for him. 

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ brought home first place at the Autonomous Snowplow Competition (ASC) in January, but the road to number one had some bumps. 

The autonomous snowplow competition (ASC) is a competition run by the Institute of Navigation, with the aim of challenging students in the areas of robotic navigation and guidance.

When it comes to having a global perspective, Sebastian Saintignon is well versed. His father’s career led Saintignon’s family to live in such varied places as Arizona, Mexico, the Kingdom of Bahrain and California during his childhood, leading him to learn how to be open-minded and comfortable in new environments.

Eight researchers affiliated with ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ have been named senior members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI)—the largest class ever from the university—and from any member institution since the academy began the awards in 2018.

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ will play a primary role in a new $46.4 million federally funded project to develop a freeze-dried blood substitute that, if successful, has the potential to save thousands of wounded soldiers’ lives—and civilian lives, as well.

Inspired by his early experiences working in a medical lab, Franco Kraiselburd founded Asclepii, a startup focused on improving wound care with stem cells.

Sometime next summer, on the second floor of a research building on the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ campus, scientists hope to record something the world has never witnessed: The moment of impact when an 18-millimeter-diameter projectile hits a wall of water at 9,000 miles per hour.
