The Department of Energy has renewed its partnership with the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation. Vanderbilt’s Laboratory for Systems Integrity and Reliability is funded by an investment from IACMI. Read More

A team of engineering seniors has designed an embedded thermoelectric generator to convert that wavy shimmer of heat that rises from hot asphalt—waste heat radiation—into electrical energy. To protect soldiers’ hands from heat burns while rappelling from helicopters, another team has created ‘fast rope’ insertion gloves. These design projects and 52 more will be on display at the Vanderbilt School of Engineering’s Design Day 2023, Monday, April 24. Read More

Kevin Leach, assistant professor of computer science, has won an Amazon Research Award in the fall 2022 awards cycle. The Amazon funds will allow him to advance the state of the art in robust document understanding by developing new iterative methods for collecting and labeling training data. Read More

Vanderbilt computer scientist Yankai Huo is working with key clinical collaborators at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to develop a quantitative and reproducible 3D analytics tool for large-scale digital analysis of kidney tissues and biopsies. Read More

Shihong Lin, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, has been awarded a Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Lin was recognized for his contributions in advancing fundamental understanding of, and developing innovative technologies for, water separation processes to address critical challenges in water and resource sustainability.  Read More

A new study by Vanderbilt researchers demonstrates the ability to initiate chemical reactions by cooling materials instead of heating them. Read More
