For three years in a row, a faculty member from the University of Notre Dame’s College of Engineering has won the prestigious CMBE Rising Star Award given by the Biomedical Engineering Society’s (BMES) Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Special Interest Group (CMBE-SIG). CMBE-SIG …
On a cold February night, more than 2,000 students gathered for Mass—nothing unusual in itself. What made the evening remarkable was the setting: a Gothic-style chapel of snow and ice. Designed and built by civil engineering student Martin Soros and architecture student Wesley Buonerba, St. …
Engineers have long focused their efforts on confining signal-carrying photons to chips. Every photon that escapes, they reasoned, is information lost. But one group of researchers has stood that paradigm on its head. By deliberately “leaking” photons into the air, they created, not the …
Yamil Colón, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, has been selected for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s New Voices program, an initiative that brings emerging leaders into NASEM’s advisory work. Selected through a merit-based, …

Galileo did not invent the telescope, but he did engineer it into a precise scientific instrument. By grinding and refining his own lenses to increase their magnification, he was able to make observations that challenged the longstanding belief in a stationary earth. In astronomy, as in many other …
More than 55 million people worldwide now live with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Without treatments or cures, that number could rise to a staggering 152 million people by 2050. Yiyu Shi, professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, is co-leading a team …
