FARE Faculty Research Collaborative highlights engineering partnerships Feb. 25

The next Faculty Research Collaborative is from 2 to 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25 in 262 Rhatigan Student Center, Herrman Room. The Research Collaborative is a research-oriented faculty club where, every month, three faculty give three minute presentations and take questions on ideas or works in progress that could benefit from cross-disciplinary collaboration. Come hear what colleagues are working on, lend your disciplinary expertise in relaxed conversation over a cup of coffee and snacks, and potentially find your next innovative research partnership.

The presenters for Feb. 25 include:

  • Dr. Nils Hakansson, professor of biomedical engineering, presenting “Making Smart Homes Smarter: Unified Local Control with Offline Resilience”
  • Ted Adler, professor of ceramic media, presenting “Collaboration & Convergence: Material Methods and Applications in Art and Beyond”
  • Dr. Nadia Kianvashrad, assistant professor of aerospace engineering, presenting “When Air Turns Extreme: From Tornado Damage in Wichita to Predicting Pressures in Hypersonic Flight”

And mark your calendars now for a special Faculty Research Collab featuring health-oriented research coming 2-3:30 p.m. March 26 in partnership with HealthHum and the the College of Health Professions.
