Four Rochester researchers from four different fields are 2019 recipients of the National Science Foundation鈥檚 most prestigious recognition for junior faculty members.

Danielle Benoit, an associate professor of biomedical engineering who has provided research experiences for more than 80 undergraduates in her lab, is the second recipient of the College Award for Undergraduate Teaching and Research Mentorship.

Three biomedical engineering faculty members鈥揇anielle Benoit, Catherine Kuo, and Amy Lerner鈥揾ave been inducted as fellows of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).

Rochester researchers are trapping nanoparticle-sized silica beads in an 鈥渙ptical tweezer鈥� in a series of experiments that could shed new light on the fundamental properties of lasers.

Biologist Nancy Chen and chemist Ellen Matson are among this year鈥檚 recipients of Sloan Research Fellowships, recognizing young scientists for their research accomplishments and leadership in the scientific community.

The toy prototype developed by a team of chemical engineering students is adapted for use by children of all abilities during a hospital stay.

Rochester becomes the 11th local chapter of the national Alliance for Diversity in Science and Engineering, bringing graduate students together across backgrounds and disciplines.

One of the biggest challenges to controlled nuclear fusion has been the lack of accurate models to predict increased fusion energy yields. Now a Rochester team of more than 50 scientists has used 鈥渂ig data鈥� to triple fusion yields.

New Rochester research may help explain the connection between high blood pressure and Alzheimer's disease, and it's all to do with how the brain pumps away waste.

Two high school seniors have been designated as Scholars in the prestigious Regeneron Science Talent Search for research they carried out last summer at the University's Laboratory for Laser Energetics.

Mechanical Design, also known as ME 204, has a reputation for being one of the toughest courses mechanical engineering students experience. And thanks to professor Chris Muir's approach to the class, it is also one of the most rewarding. In one of the final competitions, seniors Haley Wohlever, Leo Liu, and Crystal Kim must "walk the plank" to see how much weight their balsa wood structure can bear before it snaps into pieces.

The Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) welcome four new fellows from the faculty of the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
