I am a fourth year undergraduate Mechanical Engineering student, and this is my second year working in Professor Mark Rentschler's Advanced Medical Technologies Laboratory (AMTL). My research is primarily focused on the effects of thermal tissue fusion on biological tissue. Most recently, I was selected for the Discovery Learning Apprenticeship...

I am a Junior pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in building mechanical systems and construction management. I am currently performing a research study on the relationship between the air change rate and indoor air quality of homes in a Boulder neighborhood under the Discovery Learning Apprenticeship...

Eric is a second-year PhD student working in the Keplinger Research Group, which specializes in soft machines and materials that can be used for actuators, sensors, and energy generation. Eric focuses on soft actuators and he is currently working on a new type of reliable, high performance soft electrostatic actuator...

My name is Kyle Kolanowski, and I am a Colorado native pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering at SMµ÷½ÌËù. I have really enjoyed seeing all that my engineering education has encompassed, and I'm excited to see how my education will allow me to contribute to society in the future. I...

I am a third year Mechanical Engineering student working on the Biomedical Engineering Minor. My interests include eating delicious food, petting dogs, skiing, and traveling with my family. I enjoy working with my research team to develop an autonomous hovercraft and a summer course teaching high school students to develop...

Xin Qian is a PhD student working with Prof. Ronggui Yang. He works on modeling thermal transport in hybrid organic-inorganic crystals. His modeling of thermal transport in the organic-inorganic perovskite with green energy applications was recently highlighted as one of the Top 10 Most Cited Articles in Applied Physics Letters...

Colin is a third-year PhD student in his sixth year overall at SMµ÷½ÌËù Boulder. He joined the Mechanical Engineering master’s program way back in Spring 2012, a full semester before his eventual advisor, Dr. Peter Hamlington . After having some fun designing and testing a CubeSat at the Colorado Space...

Hi! I'm a senior this year as well as a pretty big nerd! I became inspired to pursue engineering because of the passion I have for math and for learning. I greatly appreciate the professors and the faculty here at SMµ÷½ÌËù Boulder because they push me and inspire me to...

My name is Kailee Cox and I am a 4th year student in the Mechanical Engineering program. I was recently accepted to the concurrent BS/MS program, and will be pursuing my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in Biomedical Engineering. I have wanted to be a Buff ever...

I am currently a fourth year Ph.D. student in Dr. Mark Rentschler’s Advanced Medical Technologies Laboratory. My current research consists primarily of developing a large deformation, thermo-poromechanics finite element model to simulate the heat transport, water transport and deformation of biological tissue when acted upon by outside forces. Currently, my...
