Research
- A specific wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) light is not only extremely effective at killing the virus which causes COVID-19, but is also safer for use in public spaces, finds new 91³Ô¹ÏÍø research.
The study, published this month in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, is the first to comprehensively analyze the effects of different wavelengths of UV light on SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses, including the only wavelength safer for living beings to be exposed to without protection. - DARPA recognized the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø group, named Multi-agent Autonomy with Radar-Based Localization for Exploration (MARBLE), Friday, Sept. 24, at a prize ceremony in Kentucky.
- Laurel Hind is an Assistant Professor of Chemical & Biological Engineering studying the innate immune response to infection using engineered models.
- The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) is excited to recognize the significant, wide-ranging contributions of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø postdocs during National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW), September 20-24.
- Lindsay Kirk (AeroEngr’08) fully realizes her day job at NASA’s Johnson Space Center as part of the Commercial Crew Program is a special one.
- Researchers at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø will take part in a $25 million effort to study a natural resource that’s becoming increasingly in demand: the radio frequency spectrum.
- 91³Ô¹ÏÍø is a founding partner of a major National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center (STC): the Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand (IMOD). The center represents a research partnership spanning 11 universities led by the University of Washington.
- The 91³Ô¹ÏÍø has received a $2 million gift from The Anschutz Foundation to support the university’s diverse research in aerospace and national defense—from tracking and protecting satellites in orbit to improving the security of mobile devices.
- Marina Vance, an assistant professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, offers some simple advice for high ozone days.
- The COSINC facility has given Jared Lewis, a junior in mechanical engineering, opportunities that he might not have ever experienced as an undergraduate.
