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.
Researchers found that one of the most promising electrolytes for designing longer lasting lithium batteries has complex nanostructures that act like micelle structures do in soaped water.
Experiments by a Brown-led research team investigated belly flop mechanics and found surprising insights about air-to-water impacts that could be useful for marine engineering applications.
