A trio of Texas Engineers have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society. One of them being our very own, Dr. Guihua Yu!
Dr. Guihua Yu, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, has invented a pioneering water filter to tackle pollution. His breakthrough earned him a feature in People news.
In natural ecosystems, the herd mentality plays a major role – from schools of fish, to beehives to ant colonies. This collective behavior allows the whole to exceed the sum of its parts and better respond to threats and challenges.
Dr. Yuanyue Liu from the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering has been chosen from over 300 nominations, as part of the top 17 researchers that were presented with the ACS Materials Au: 2023 Rising Star in Materials Science title.
A collaborative team of researchers from the Warner group and Guihua Yu Group at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a new workflow for cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) characterization of battery materials that has paved the way for new insights into a degradation mechanism of sodium metal batteries, recently published in Advanced Materials.
A pair of Texas Engineering faculty members have been inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering’s (AIMBE) College of Fellows.
Dr. Alexander Demkov, from UT Austin's Department of Physics, recently secured a significant $1.3M contract from the Office of Naval Research. Alongside this achievement, a company he helped establish has been recognized in the Semiconductor Review as one of the top innovators of 2024 in photonics.
The Mitlin lab has developed a groundbreaking anode-free all-solid-state battery (AF-ASSB) with a sulfide-based solid-electrolyte (SE).
In a groundbreaking development, Professor Michael Rose from the Department of Chemistry and Texas Materials Institute, is the sole author and has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society due to his research into the intricacies of interfacial band structure and hybridization of silicon materials with surface molecules, particularly relevant to solar energy and solar fuels conversion.
Professor Deji Akinwande from the Chandra Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Texas Materials Institute at UT Austin was recently selected by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (FCT) for an award based on the joint proposal that was submitted for the 2022 Exploratory Project Call.
