The new doctoral program in Materials Science and Engineering will attract diverse graduate students in multiple disciplines, raising the research profile in science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, according to Mary Galvin, the William K. Warren Foundation...
Rainbows are formed when light bends — or refracts — as it enters and exits a water droplet. The amount that the light bends depends on the color of the light, resulting in white...
Each fellow will receive a stipend for one year to support their research and dissertation as part of the new doctoral program that launched in 2020.
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is pleased to announce faculty promotions and new hires for the 2020 academic year.
David B. Go has been selected to chair the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering beginning November 1, 2020.
Condensed matter physicist Yi-Ting Hs, a theorist, joined the Notre Dame faculty in the Department of Physics last month, and enjoys working with experimental physicists to dig beneath their applications and discoveries, unearthing the science behind how to...
A team led by Professor Tengfei Luo is developing novel materials for use in thermoelectric generators. These generators are used in industry to capture the largely untapped energy in heat “wasted” in many manufacturing applications.
Notre Dame researchers will use data from the new high-speed light detectors to determine the temperature of the sun’s lower atmosphere, measure the spectrum of solar flares and gain a better understanding of the role magnetic fields play in solar flare...
On Tuesday, September 15, 2020, Notre Dame Research will host a virtual Core Facility Fair from 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST. The event is open to students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and staff.
A team of engineers, including two AME undergraduates and a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering, have published research that explores making plasma devices that can be operated without electrical power — they need only human or mechanical energy.
Marie Lynn Miranda, announced as the successor to Thomas Burish in mid-March, is no stranger to leading a university through a crisis. Now the Charles and Jill Fischer Provost at Notre Dame, the former provost of Rice University and a...
An interview with the new Dean of the College of Engineering, Trish Culligan.
NearWave, a start-up team led by graduate student Roy Stillwell, and advised by Professor Thomas O’Sullivan, stole the show at the 2020 McCloskey New Venture Competition! NearWave will receive a total of $100K in awards for the McCloskey Grand Prize, Marshall...

Jennifer L. Schaefer and Matthew J. Webber have been named 2020 Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering oung Investigators by the PSME Division of the American Chemical Society.
The decision to conduct research over the summer for many undergraduate students at the University of Notre Dame presented new challenges and considerations relative to remote learning. Students understood that projects performed off campus,...
The University of Notre Dame has received $172.5 million in new research funding awards for fiscal year 2020 – the second highest in its history.
Students can now earn a distinctive, interdisciplinary doctoral degree in materials science and engineering through the College of Engineering and the College of Science.
Yanliang Zhang has been named the 2020 International Thermoelectric Society Young Investigator. The award recognizes his innovative work on additive manufacturing and scalable nanomanufacturing for flexible thermoelectric materials and devices.
In February, NDnano awarded fellowships to 21 students for its summer undergraduate research program. These students, from Notre Dame and several universities in the U.S. and abroad, applied and were selected by NDnano-affiliated faculty for 10-week, on-campus projects.
Unfortunately, due...
