Description:

Department of Aerospace Engineering s Partha Sarkar and students in his research lab are utilizing the department s Aerodynamic/Atmospheric Boundary Layer (AABL) wind tunnel in the Wind Simulation and Testing Laboratory (WiST) to study how to prevent cables such as those that hold up bridges and power lines from galloping in high wind. Read about Continue reading Sarkar research helps cables, power lines withstand wind Iowa State University Academic Adviser in Electrical in Computer Engineering (ECpE) Bob Thompson is announcing his retirement after working in the department for six years. Thompson has previously worked with senior portfolio classes, where seniors compile work from throughout their college career, such as from their senior design courses. Thompson also wrote grants to help Continue reading ECpE Academic Adviser Bob Thompson announces retirement Energy storage reliability and safety could be improved on everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines because of a research project involving an interdisciplinary team of Iowa State University engineers. Chao Hu, assistant professor of mechanical engineering (ME), is the principal investigator (PI) on a project titled “Physics-Based Probabilistic Prognostics for Battery Health Management.” Simon Continue reading Opposites attract: Cyclone engineers team up to improve battery reliability and safety J. (Joseph) Don Musil, who went by Don, former faculty member of Iowa State University s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE), passed away on April 30, 2020, at the age of 99. Musil attended Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, graduating in three years with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering. He Continue reading In Memory: ECpE Associate Professor J. (Joseph) Don Musil ME/ChE 632: Multiphase Flow gives students unique hands-on education and experience in multiphase flows, backed by the exceptional expertise of Iowa State’s Center for Multiphase Flow and Research Education’s (CoMFRE) faculty members. After a virtual department meeting in May, Hoa Chi took it upon himself to create Plexiglass desk shields to be used once employees start working in the office again rather than purchasing them from an outside company.  Chi, a teaching lab coordinator in the agricultural and biosystems engineering department, typically helps students with research Continue reading Iowa State ABE lab makes in-house desk shields Ravi Tutika, a materials science and engineering Ph.D. student, won the prestigious Alan Gent Distinguished Student Paper Award for his paper entitled “Soft Multifunctional Composites Enabled Through Programmable Liquid Metal Microstructures.” The Alan Gent Distinguished Student Paper Award is an award dedicated to graduate student research in adhesion science, given by the Adhesion Society. The Continue reading Iowa State graduate student receives Alan Gent Distinguished Student Paper Award College of Engineering faculty and staff have been named winners of 2020 college awards, honoring their outstanding accomplishments and contributions. Guliz Tokadli, Ph.D. candidate in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human Factors Programs, is part of the ever-evolving cognitive engineering discipline.  Joseph Filbert, graduate student in materials science and engineering, was awarded the prestigious Rickover Fellowship. Vilas Mujumdar, a recognized engineering leader and a generous donor to the College of Engineering, was awarded the Medal of Engineering Excellence by the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO).  Each spring, the Iowa State University Engineering Student Council honors outstanding Cyclone Engineering faculty, students and staff at the Student Council Awards. One of this year’s honorees was Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) Associate Professor Goce Trajcevski, who was named Outstanding Engineering Faculty of the Year. Trajcevski came to Iowa State, joining ECpE Continue reading ECpE’s Goce Trajcevski named Outstanding Faculty of the Year by Engineering Student Council When Sebastien Mueller (‘19 mech engr) was young, his dad told a story about his quest to “save the Dahu,” a goat whose legs are shorter on one side than the other, making it so Dahus can only walk in circles around their mountain homes. The story was the inspiration behind the name for the Continue reading Iowa State alum turns passion project into a reality with the help of Boyd Lab Six Iowa State Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering students hope to be the reigning champs for the seventh year in a row of the ELECTRI International Green Energy Challenge, which is sponsored by the National Electrical Contractors Association.  The Green Energy Challenge invites student chapters from across the nation to compete and participate.  Continue reading Cyclone Energy to compete in ELECTRI Green Energy Challenge for twelfth year in a row After completing an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Durgapur and working as a project assistant for one-year at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, India, Vivek Kumar Singh began searching for opportunities to further his education.  This search eventually led him to Iowa State University in 2015.
