Dr. Rodney Bowersox from the Texas A&M University College of Engineering was recently named a Regents Professor for distinguished performance in teaching, research and service. This is the highest honor bestowed by The Texas A&M University System on faculty members.
The University of Texas at Arlington and Texas A&M University researchers received a three-year, $500,000 grant from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to conduct experiments and simulations of Liquid Metal Heat Pipes for micro nuclear reactor applications.
Dr. Cindy Lawley completed the program, which focuses on organizational strategy, infrastructure and resource management and personal effectiveness, using on-the-job issues and challenges to develop a leadership plan for applying the new ideas, concepts and behaviors.
Texas A&M University researchers are working to develop a model to help predict hypoglycemic events before they happen, with a low false-alarm rate, which will help those living with diabetes to better manage the condition.
Dr. Jodie L. Lutkenhaus received the 2022 Edith and Peter O’Donnell Award in Engineering from The Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas for her innovation and development of redox-active polymers for metal-free energy storage and smart coatings.
A new mathematical model developed by Texas A&M University researchers can predict the microclimatic temperature within the breeding grounds of mosquitoes very precisely. This information can then be used to accurately estimate the abundance of mosquitoes, which in turn is needed to track vector-borne disease transmission.
Is it possible to smell COVID-19? The SecureAmerica Institute answered that question last November with the Worlds Protect breathalyzer kiosk, which uses artificial intelligence to “smell” or detect COVID-19 on an exhaled breath. The next step is to make this technology even more accessible.
The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station was one of five teams awarded grants totaling about $25 million from the Department of Defense to help embed emerging smart technologies like advanced robotics and augmented reality into areas such as defense manufacturing.
The SecureAmerica Institute is partnering with Project MFG to host competitions for students and address manufacturing skills gaps. A team from Bryan ISD competed in qualifying rounds last week in Jacksonville, Texas, for a chance to win a $100,000 grand prize.
