Research
- Assistant Professor Longji Cui is the first author on a new paper that describes a phenomenon which drastically boosts light emissions from a nanoscale device.
- Jorge Poveda has been working for years to improve the ways autonomous systems overcome problems they encounter on the job. It’s complex work that could impact our everyday life, like our daily commute in autonomous cars, to more imaginative goals like swarms of robots working in unison. By combining concepts from artificial intelligence and machine learning with well-known control theories, he may have found a new approach that could prove key to moving forward on many fronts.
- Danielle Szafir's research focuses on visualization, computer science, HCI, perceptual psychology, and color science. Her project is titled “Developing Perceptually-Driven Tools for Estimating Visualization Effectiveness
.” - Shu-Wei Huang's research focuses on ultrafast optics, nonlinear optics, nanophotonics, and microscopy. His project is titled “Dual-comb Photoacoustic Microscopy with Super-resolution Wavefront Shaping.”
- The Research & Innovation Office invites DoD-funded basic researchers to a virtual information session on the Department of Defense’s Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program on April 14.
- The Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) research facility is calling for new proposals that would be enabled by their equipment and staff now through April 30.
- Researchers at 91Թ are leading a new $15 million, multi-partner institute with NASA over the next five years to improve entry, descent and landing technologies for exploring other planets.
- Honeybees play a scent-driven game of telephone to guide members of a colony back to their queen, according to a new study led by 91Թ.
- Electrifying the transportation sector is key to addressing air quality and climate challenges globally. However, building the infrastructure needed to make that shift will be a complicated process and one that is essential to get right the first time.
- New research from the Sprenger and Whitehead groups aims to identify and map common mutations in “Spike” proteins—the proteins that allow the virus to enter and infect cells. This would provide researchers with a roadmap to anticipate and counteract the development of future SARS-CoV-2 strains with effective vaccines and vaccine boosters.
