Educators from Blackstone Academy Charter School in Pawtucket partnered with Brown’s makerspace to launch a new science class, empowering teens to design and create, and sparking interest in engineering.
The Joukowsky dissertation award in the Life Sciences goes to Cel Welch, who completed their Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering this spring. Through their dissertation, titled Novel Devices, Physical Mechanisms, and Analytical Techniques for Use in Next Generation Cellular Diagnostics, Welch developed novel electrical and acoustic methods to process tissue into single cells for direct sequencing.
Using the scientific principles behind fluid mechanics, students in a School of Engineering course produced stunning imagery brought to life via high-speed photography.
As Brown celebrates its 256th Commencement, Nadia Tsado and Deanna Stueber will address their peers in separate master’s and Ph.D. ceremonies on College Hill.
Seven master’s students from the MADE program worked with thirteen other student designers to unveil a stunning series of data visualizations, taking a journey through the many stories of Boston.
With their election to the prestigious honor society, Francis J. Doyle III, Prudence Carter and Greg Hirth join the nation’s leading scholars in science, public affairs, business, arts and the humanities.
The daylong conference brought together scientists, engineers and technical experts from Brown and the Department of Energy’s National Laboratories to strengthen existing partnerships and enable new collaborations.
In a breakthrough that could help revolutionize wireless communication, researchers unveiled a novel method for manipulating terahertz waves, allowing them to curve around obstacles instead of being blocked by them.
The novel approach helps advance wireless sensor technology and paves the way for one day using large populations of inconspicuous sensors in implantable and wearable biomedical microdevices.
As an engineer, professor, researcher, and provost, Frank Doyle had many opportunities throughout his career to hone his leadership skills. But it wasn’t in the classroom or the lab where Doyle gleaned some of his most critical lessons in leadership — it was on the soccer field as a referee over the last 20 years.
Advancing a commitment to accessible robotics education, the Ph.D. student is researching how to simultaneously control multiple drones and teaching others how to build and operate them.
After taking a leave of absence from her studies to kickstart a keyboard business, chemical engineering Ph.D. candidate Ana Oliveira Kannan has returned to complete her dissertation.
The early-career grant will help Daniel Harris establish a more complete and unified physical understanding of particles at interfaces, and share new experimental designs and methods that others can accessibly adapt for use in related research.
As one of the few Brown University faculty with a Ph.D. focused on the design of complex systems, the newest professor of the practice in the School of Engineering is uniquely qualified to launch a new course in the undergraduate curriculum.
Beyond the chance to make, shake and snack on the houses, the gingerbread challenge builds confidence, sparks creativity and hones essential engineering skills in Rhode Island Girl Scouts.
