Researcher developing sensors to measure hormone levels in water

by Janese Heavin
Fidalgo A Mizzou Engineer is working on a way to produce sensors that could quickly detect hormone levels in ponds, lakes and rivers. Maria Fidalgo, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, received funding from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the work, which will begin this spring. Specifically, Fidalgo is partnering with USGS’s [...]

Buttlar furthers work to add plastic wastes to asphalt mixtures

by Janese Heavin
Glen Barton Chair in Flexible Pavements Bill Buttlar in the Mizzou Asphalt Pavement and Innovation Lab. Plastics are made to last hundreds of years. That’s a problem when you’re talking about bottles, bags and straws discarded after one use. However, for roads that need to support heavy traffic over the course of decades, plastic could [...]

Researcher to study ways to prevent gum formation in fuel

by Janese Heavin
Gasoline doesn’t come with an expiration date, but over time, some components of unused fuel and crude oil can oxidize and form gum-like deposits through a process called autoxidation. Scientists understand the chemical steps for this process, but they aren’t sure why it happens in some cases but not others. Now, a Mizzou Engineer has [...]

S-STEM Scholarship provides holistic support to new students

by Janese Heavin
CEE S-STEM Scholars listen to project leaders during a Meet and Greet event held earlier this semester. A new scholarship program within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering provides students with more than tuition money. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the five-year, million-dollar Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) project also [...]

Approximate computing remains vulnerable to attacks; Mizzou Engineers to present findings at IEEE DATE conference

by Janese Heavin
Hoque Companies relying on faster, less precise computing to gain energy efficiency still need to be cautious against cyberattacks despite a recent study that indicated otherwise, Mizzou Engineers have found. At the heart of the research is approximate computing, which is known for its effectiveness in improvising the energy efficiency of deep neural network (DNN) [...]

Orton focuses on STEM outreach efforts to inspire next generation

by Janese Heavin
Orton A Mizzou Engineer took time away from her busy academic and research schedule earlier this week to share her expertise on bridges with local middle school students. Sarah Orton, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, addressed about 100 seventh graders at Jefferson Middle School, a STEAM Academy in Columbia. “They were really [...]
