Honors & Awards
- First-year PhD student Nick Rovito has been named the winner of the Young Engineer Paper Competition at this year's International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) held by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. His novel research aims to answer two questions: why do stroke treatments fail, and how can we increase their efficacy in the future?
- The mechanical engineering community is celebrating the 80th birthday of former ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ Professor Roop. L Mahajan. With over 60 years of service in the engineering profession, Mahajan's remarkable career embodies research excellence and educational impact. He served as a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ for 15 years from 1991-2006. He also served as the Interim Dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science from 2001-2002.
- Aria Mundy, a dual-major mechanical engineering and applied mathematics student graduating this fall has been selected to receive the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ College of Engineering and Applied Science 2024 Outstanding Undergraduate Award. Mundy has displayed a vast level of achievement during her time on campus in areas such as academics, outreach, professional development and inclusion.
- Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram’s Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory recently won the IROS Best Paper Award on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics.
- Since relocating to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ last year, Vriend has been named a 2023 Experimental Physics Investigator by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, a highly prestigious award in the experimental physics community.
