The National Science Foundation has awarded six prestigious Graduate Research Fellowships to University of Colorado СÀ¶ÊÓƵ mechanical engineering students, a signal of the innovative and impactful research they will perform in the years ahead.
The prestigious fellowship, offered through the U.S. Department of Defense, promotes education in science and engineering disciplines relevant to national defense.
It’s hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by CU СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Professor Mark Rentschler and student researchers in his lab that can navigate the human gastrointestinal system with ease and may someday help doctors care for their patients.
With diagnostic technologies being developed by Assistant Professor Debanjan Mukherjee of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU СÀ¶ÊÓƵ, engineers and clinicians are hopeful some strokes may soon be prevented.
The AB Nexus Research Collaboration Grant program announced its inaugural round of grants totaling $625,000 for novel research projects integrating expertise from the CU Anschutz and CU СÀ¶ÊÓƵ campuses. Three of these projects were born out of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Researchers at CU СÀ¶ÊÓƵ are collaborating to develop a new kind of biocompatible actuator that contracts and relaxes in only one dimension, like muscles. Their research may one day enable soft machines to fully integrate with our bodies to deliver drugs, target tumors, or repair aging or dysfunctional tissue.
Professors Shelly Miller and Nina Vance, along with Miller's daughter, Renee Leiden, produced a video explaining how the transmission of respiratory infections can occur.
Public health officials, including mechanical engineering Professor Shelly Miller, urge families to keep celebrations small, avoid mixing households and open the windows.
