Timothy Morrissey, co-founder and CEO of Artimus Robotics graduated in 2019 with a PhD in mechanical engineering from CU 51��ý. He and his team launched Artimus Robotics alongside Assistant Professor Christoph Keplinger.

Gary Marshall, a mechanical engineering and engineering management MS student is on a mission to give back to those who protect us—firefighters. He founded EmergenTek in 2018 and developed a system that automates fire truck ladder operations.

John “Arch” Archuleta, the man who was instrumental in helping create a University of Colorado engineering program at Colorado Mesa University, has died. He was 82.

Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram sees nature as a giant catalogue of design ideas. Engineers can “leaf through” it to see how various species have overcome problems–many of the solutions exquisitely developed over time to perfection.

New research at CU 51��ý, funded by a $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, aims to create a new system to study the mechanical properties of cells using surface acoustic waves.

Over three years, teams of researchers from across the world will vie against each other to push their robotics knowledge to the limits—designing vehicles that can navigate underground environments.

Gregory Whiting and his research group are preparing for the thrill of a lifetime: two parabolic flights, each expected to provide around ten total minutes of reduced gravity to test and model how 3D printing of functional materials works in lunar gravity.

Lawrence Smith is researching efficient simulation of solid mechanics problems for the purpose of automated design of soft robotic systems. He enjoys 3D printing, cooking, billiards and running.

The highly-ranked Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado 51��ý is being named after Colorado philanthropist and businessman Paul M. Rady, thanks to his generous support of the college. This is the second department to be named in the College of Engineering and Applied Science.

The College of Engineering and Applied Science awarded Katherine McConnell the Outstanding Staff Award and Julie Steinbrenner the Charles A. Hutchinson Memorial Teaching Award.
