Mizzou Engineers Develop Advanced Solutions for Port of Alaska Operations
Mizzou Engineer Sharan Srinivas is improving freight and fuel truck operations at the Port of Alaska through cutting-edge simulation modeling and the development of an innovative digital communication platform.
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.
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.
Mizzou Engineering hosts four NSF REU sites in critical research areas
Mizzou Engineering empowers students to explore the world through leading-edge research and provides the necessary tools and guidance. This summer, students from across the U.S. have traveled to campus to take part in National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites (NSF REUs) and gain access to those tools while working with our world-class faculty.
Engineering team working with Port of Alaska, stakeholders to assess operations, develop interactive portal
A Mizzou Engineering team is working with the Port of Alaska and its stakeholders to assess freight and fuel truck operations and develop an interactive digital communication portal for improving visibility into Port operations. Sharan Srinivas, assistant professor of industrial and systems engineering, received funding from the Alaska Department of Transportation (AKDOT) for the two-pronged project.
REU: Students study perspective analytics for AI-enabled operations engineering
Ten students spent 10 weeks at Mizzou Engineering this summer learning about artificial intelligence (AI) models and how to best analyze large data sets.
Mizzou Engineer outlines system to customize blood supply chain solutions
Blood supply chains can be complicated. On one hand, healthcare providers must make sure they have enough to meet demands, which can be unexpected. On the other hand, roughly 20 million donated platelets are discarded each year because they expire before they’re needed.
Industrial Engineering students take honors at CELDi Research Symposium
Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) students took top honors for work around intelligent decision-making systems and optimizing manufacturing processes at the annual Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) Research Symposium.
Mizzou Engineering launching new REU focused on AI, prescriptive analytics
Undergraduate students interested in emerging technologies are invited to apply for a new immersive research program at Mizzou.
Industrial engineers analyze perceptions of insurance industry
Despite their catchy commercials, insurance companies have a public relations problem. Numerous studies have shown that general perceptions of the industry are negative. Now, a team of Mizzou researchers have used their industrial engineering expertise to find out why.
