The process combines virology and mechanobiology, two distinct areas of study that had not been explored at the same time but might prove to be a way to better understand disease progressions to intervene earlier and improve patient outcomes.

Jairo Diaz Amaya, assistant professor of chemical engineering was honored with a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award for his work conducting fundamental research in the fabrication and self-assembly of colloids—key elements of soft matter.

Professor Jairo Diaz and his research team are experimenting with soft matter to create new materials for the future. Learn how they’re changing the internal structure of tiny, microscopic droplets to create something new.

Researchers have discovered new ways to bend light to improve optical applications such as sensors, displays, and next-generation photonic devices.

RIT engineering professor Cory Merkel was one of more than a dozen researchers in neuromorphic computing contributing findings published on Jan. 22 in Nature.

As a scientist, new business developer, and as a researcher, Bukofsky brings more than 30 years of experience to his newest role in the U.S. Department of Commerce.

What started as engaging lunchtime conversations with friends has led three mechanical engineering students to start a biweekly podcast, Beyond ME, with a variety of topics including engineering and much more.

Faculty-researcher Gill Tsouri is developing a novel skin-sensing system that can be embedded onto the grip of a firearm to detect blood alcohol content levels, and once detected, the system could deter the trigger mechanism. The technology could be a step toward preventing firearm accidents, homicides, and suicides where there is a near 90 percent death rate.
