Mizzou Engineering honors outstanding faculty, staff, students and alumni

Mizzou Engineering recognized outstanding faculty, staff, students and alumni for their accomplishments and contributions as part of its 2025 awards banquet.

Mizzou researchers are cracking the code on solid-state batteries

Using a combination of advanced imagery and ultra-thin coatings, University of Missouri researchers are working to revolutionize solid-state battery performance.

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.

Engineering Undergrads Shine at Summer Research Forum 

At the University of Missouri, researchers are blazing new trails for more than just themselves—and that innovative spirit extends to student researchers. Undergraduate engineering students presented their summer research findings at the Office of Undergraduate Research’s Summer Undergraduate Research Forum. 

In search of a smarter sensor

Mizzou Engineering researcher Matthias Young believes he’s found a way to keep the valuable nutrients on land where they belong. He’s developing a technique that could lead to new types of sensors to help farmers better measure nitrates and phosphates in the soil, allowing them to use fertilizers more efficiently.

The patent puzzle

Mizzou researchers work with the Office of Technology Advancement to protect and promote their discoveries.

NSF Research Traineeship program to prepare materials and data scientists

A five-year, $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) is establishing a doctoral training program at the University of Missouri to help prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers to work in the emerging fields of materials science and data science and analytics.

Mizzou Engineer receives CAREER Award for research around polymer science

In the Mizzou Thin Film Coatings and Materials Electrochemistry Lab, Matthias Young is advancing the field of polymer science for technologies such as batteries and water desalination.

Students show off projects at Show Me Research Week

Clean water, healthcare and education - all topics that impact nearly every person, and all topics that were researched and presented by Mizzou Engineers at Show Me Research Week.

A new view of microscopic processes

With the support of a two-year, $800,000 grant from the National Science Foundation and an additional $300,000 from the university, Matt Maschmann and a team of researchers are purchasing new equipment which will allow researchers to conduct scientific experiments while simultaneously viewing reactions as they happen in real time.
