S-STEM Scholarship provides holistic support to new students

A new scholarship program within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering provides students with more than tuition money.

Timothy Middelkoop

Mizzou Engineer leads regional research computing effort

A team of seven experts from universities across the region — led by Mizzou Engineering’s Timothy Middelkoop — recently received $1.4 million from the National Science Foundation to both meet this need and provide workforce development to fill an emerging need in high-performance research computing.

Faculty participate in a creativity activity.

Faculty cultivate creativity at NSF-funded academy

Biomedical, biological and chemical engineering faculty aim to incorporate creativity into the classroom following NSF-funded academy.

Nassar awarded NSF CAREER grant to explore mathematics of deployable structures

Assistant Professor Hussein Nassar recently received the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) grant for his work on identifying unifying mathematical models that can explain the behavior of deployable structures. Research into these morphing metamaterials could aid in the designs of airbags, clothing, and even solar panels for space travel.

Detecting COVID-19 with a sticker on your skin

One day, a wearable, bioelectronic device could wirelessly transmit a person’s vital signs — potentially providing critical information for early detection of health issues such as COVID-19 or heart disease — to a healthcare provider, eliminating the need for an in-person visit while also saving lives.
