A new U.S. Department of Education grant will address the need for resilient infrastructure while providing training for a new generation of engineers in advanced construction methods and technologies.
Clear feedback of fracturing processes is now possible thanks to an advanced algorithm developed through a teamwork effort by researchers at Texas A&M University and the Colorado School of Mines.
In an effort to continue broadening the understanding of advanced nuclear technology, the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station has installed the NuScale small modular reactor control room simulator at the Center for Advanced Small Modular and Micro Reactors.
Dr. Eleftherios Iakovou is working on a holistic end-to-end supply chain management data-driven framework to detect problems and increase supply chain resiliency and agility of supply chains in the United States.
A new study by Texas A&M University researchers could help environmental agencies keep track of the source of organic air pollutants. They have precisely simulated the ambient concentrations of a marker compound formed from the oxidation of certain volatile organic compounds emitted from human activities.
Dr. Kiju Lee and a multidisciplinary team of researchers are working to establish a configurable, adaptive and scalable swarm system consisting of unmanned ground and aerial robots designed to assist in collaborative smart agriculture tasks.
Dr. Jeyavijayan "JV" Rajendran was awarded the 2021 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers CEDA Kuh Early Career Award for his contributions to the field of electronic design automation.
Dr. Akhilesh Gaharwar was named one of Texas A&M University’s 2021 Presidential Impact Fellows. Gaharwar researches at the interface of materials science, biomedical engineering and cell biology, and has developed new nanomaterials that have and will continue to shape the field of biomaterials.
The Department of Defense has awarded the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station a grant to establish the Texas Defense Aerospace Manufacturing Community. This four-year program will inject targeted smart manufacturing skills and technologies into Texas’ diverse aerospace manufacturing portfolio to support defense aerospace manufacturing needs and affiliated supply chains across the state.
Prolonged radiation damages nuclear reactor parts, like pumps and pipes. Dr. Karim Ahmed and his team have used computational techniques to explore the effect of radiation on materials. The research might help design more radiation-tolerant structural parts for safer and more efficient nuclear reactors.
Dr. Dinakar Sagapuram was named a 2021 Breakthrough Energy Fellow for his work on clean energy manufacturing technologies. His project, MetPeel, is a new manufacturing process for making steel sheet and strip using a low-temperature, single-step process instead of conventional fossil-fired hot rolling.
Dr. Akhilesh Gaharwar, Dr. Shuiwang Ji, Dr. Ranjana Mehta and Dr. Emily Pentzer were named Presidential Impact Fellows, which recognizes those who embody the university's commitment to advancing knowledge through transformational learning, discovery, innovation and impact for Texas and the world.
This year, there has been a significant increase in the number of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure that we rely on daily. Dr. Dilma Da Silva and Dr. Guofei Gu explain what malware is and what can be done to better protect these systems from future attacks.
