Ahjeong Son, assistant professor in environmental engineering, is developing a miniaturized, transportable pathogen detection tool that is the size of a briefcase for in-situ monitoring of Alabama’s water resources. Her detection technique is based on the use of both fluorescent and magnetic nanoparticles which will be specifically assembled together only […]
Saad Biaz, faculty member in computer science and software engineering, hosted Auburn’s 10th Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) on smart unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) this summer. An REU is an 8-10 week summer program funded by the National Science Foundation to introduce undergraduate students to research and encourage them to […]
Electrical and computer engineering faculty member Shumin Wang is looking deep — he is researching the use of 7 Tesla (T) MRI scanners for deep-brain imaging. Wang is investigating a new phased array transceiver technique that combines safe, anatomy-specific radio frequency transmission and low-noise multi-channel signal reception in a single […]
Hareesh Tippur, McWane professor in mechanical engineering, has been awarded a three year grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a full-field digital stress gradient sensor that can optically measure small angular deflections of light rays to one thousandth of a degree in transparent structural materials that are subjected […]
Extreme couponing is so last year — extreme rebating has transformed engineering student Jonathan Hood’s budget. Hood, a doctoral student in computer science and software engineering, used his engineering know-how to opt out of student loans and instead invested in items that come with mail-in rebates to pay for his […]
Dwayne Brown, 1990 civil engineering graduate, has been named assistant vice president of alumni affairs at Auburn University. His move up the ladder comes three years after beginning to volunteer with the office. Brown began his career as a Navy officer after graduating from Auburn’s Navy ROTC program. He then […]
It’s that time again, and the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering has increased in this year’s U.S. News & World Report rankings to 30th among public universities offering doctoral programs in engineering and 53rd overall. “These rankings are among the highest in the history of the College of Engineering … […]
Several sections on the National Center for Asphalt Technology’s (NCAT) Pavement Test Track have been reconstructed in preparation for the track’s fifth research cycle, which will explore ways to stretch transportation dollars. Track sections are sponsored for three-year cycles by state highway agencies and private industries, which have both specific […]
HOW MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION DO YOU HAVE STORED ON THE INTERNET? Think about how many times you have entered your phone number, address and even your social security number into an online bill payment, application or form. Auburn Engineering is responding to a crisis facing the United States – the […]
The College of Engineering held a dedication ceremony this summer for the three-story, $21 million, 45,000-square-foot MRI Research Center that houses 7 Tesla and 3 Tesla scanners — two of the most powerful research and clinical scanners in the world. Both scanners are housed on the first floor of the […]
