Probing the matter/life nexis: Zia brings colloidal physics research to Mizzou

Equipped with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s Matter-to-Life Program, Roseanna N. Zia is using a special class of physics to explore what it means to be alive.

Wear and forget: an ultrasoft material for on-skin health devices

Zheng Yan and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri may have a solution. They have created an ultrasoft “skin-like” material — that’s both breathable and stretchable — for use in the development of an on-skin, wearable bioelectronic device.

Explore internships, employment opportunities at 2023 Spring Career Fair

Researcher working toward safer, more energy efficient LED lighting technology

A Mizzou Engineer has found a way to improve light-emitting diodes (LEDs), reducing the harsh blue hue associated with LED light fixtures.

Mizzou Engineering students, alumnus compete at MIT Reality Hack

Four Mizzou Engineers participated in MIT’s Reality Hack last month, an international hackathon focused on extended reality (XR, an umbrella term for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality), developing novel ways to implement emerging technologies.

Engineers assess self-driving vehicles to reduce mobile work zone injuries

Using a self-driving truck to follow a manned vehicle has the potential to reduce worker injuries in mobile work zones, a Mizzou Engineering team has concluded. Henry Brown, a research engineer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is presenting the findings to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).

E-Week co-chairs talk events, memories and what’s new for 2023

E-Week is organized by St. Pat’s Board, which is chaired this year by Lane Atchison and Kate Sherard. We asked them to tell us a little about themselves and what the College can expect during 2023 E-Week: Pat to the Future.
