Accelerating materials discovery
Mizzou Engineers are partnering with Arizona State University, Brewer Science and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), to increase the efficiency of materials development by using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to model and test new materials. Mizzou's research is supported by a $1.87 million grant, sponsored by Arizona State University.

Mizzou faculty member leads collaboration to empower a carbon bioeconomy
Susie Dai is using her background in chemistry and biology to inspire innovative approaches to add value to carbon dioxide to make diverse products as part of an NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC).

Engineering entrepreneurs
Two groups with Mizzou Engineering students were named finalists in the 2024 Entrepreneur Quest (EQ) program. Learn more about their business ventures.

AI is paving the way for flying taxis
Prescriptive analytics, a type of artificial intelligence, is helping researchers plan for air taxis in major U.S. cities. It’s helping electric vehicles, health care and animal welfare, too. Mizzou expert Suchi Rajendran shares how this advanced AI will help us prepare for the future.

Three inducted into Chemical Engineering Academy of Distinguished Alumni
The Chemical Engineering Academy of Distinguished Alumni inducted five new members into its ranks on Nov. 2.

Sensing animal intuition
Mizzou Engineer Jian Lin and doctoral student Morgan Miller are developing the next generation of sensors to improve horse welfare.
