Funded by a $799,352 U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) Office of Science grant, research is underway at ����Ӱҵ to fundamentally advance understanding of the critical processes in plasma-based anti-/de-icing approaches and plasma-assisted additive manufacturing and coating technologies. The three-year project is led by Yang Liu, assistant professor in the Grove School of Engineering and an expert in experimental fluid mechanics. According to Liu, plasma-droplet interactions have been recognized as the fundamental mechanisms of many industrial and natural processes, including

Preparing for a future in which artificial intelligence (AI), networked systems, autonomous vehicles (AVs) and connected AVs (CAVs) are integral to society, ����Ӱҵ is launching an international program to train select students in mastering Avs. The three-year project -- in partnership with Turkey’s Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and California-based autonomous bus company ADASTEC Corp – is funded by a $300,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. “Future societies will depend more and more on AI and networked systems, and, in turn, on AVs and CAVs for many

Alumnus Alan Levy was the first in his family to graduate in 1958 with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from ����Ӱҵ. The free tuition at the time made pursuing a degree possible, and now he wants to pay it forward with a $100,000 gift to create The Alan and Sharon Levy Scholarship Fund. The scholarships will support women and minority students in ����Ӱҵ’s Division of Science and will be based on financial need. It will support all education-related expenses. “I was able to obtain a B.S. from ����Ӱҵ and a Ph.D. from Purdue University without incurring any debt,” said Levy.
