Chris Hinkle, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been appointed chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering, effective July 1, 2026. “Chris Hinkle’s leadership of large-scale research projects and dedication to student success make him...

Professor Masaru Kuno, Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, was the featured presenter at the April NDnano monthly Network Lunch Seminar in McCourtney Hall. These meetings provide a dedicated space for faculty and staff to…

A visualization of the Hybrid Multi-material and Multi-scale Autonomous Printing technique, which produces 3D complex and hierarchical vascular structures. While scientists have successfully printed small patches of human tissue, scaling those tissues into full-sized organs has remained elusive. In natural...

On Tuesday, March 24, University leaders, faculty members, and community partners gathered in downtown South Bend to celebrate research and innovation at the 1st Source Faculty Commercialization Award dinner. This event honors faculty researchers at the University of Notre Dame...

To invade healthy tissues and continue growing, aggressive cancers mimic and circumvent the body’s native piping system of veins and arteries. Through this process, known as vasculogenic mimicry (VM), tumor cells form fluid-conducting channels that transport blood, oxygen, and nutrients...

The University of Notre Dame has earned a spot on the Top 100 U.S. Universities Granted Utility Patents in 2025, a list published annually by the National Academy of Inventors.

Three electrical engineers at the University of Notre Dame in the fields of next-gen wireless networks, advanced semiconductors, and biomedical imaging have been named 2026 Senior Members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). This year’s honorees include Jonathan Chisum,...

The University of Notre Dame’s College of Engineering welcomed Marko Radosavljević to its Department of Electrical Engineering this spring, expanding its expertise in semiconductor technology.

For three years in a row, a faculty member from the University of Notre Dame’s College of Engineering has won the prestigious CMBE Rising Star Award given by the Biomedical Engineering…

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses and managed and modified by glial cells. When neurons...

Engineers have long focused their efforts on confining signal-carrying photons to chips. Every photon that escapes, they reasoned, is information lost. But one group of researchers has stood that paradigm on its head. By deliberately “leaking” photons into the air,...
