Dr. Kwang Kim's
artificial muscle research based on hydrogen gas is
featured on Discovery News.
 Drs.
Leang and Suhr's new Energy Efficient Systems and Dynamic Structures
mechanical engineering curriculum funded by the National Science Foundation was
featured on Channel 2
news and UNR news.
 Ron
Gibson, Distinguished Research Professor, was recently elected Vice Chair
and Membership Secretary for the Sierra Chapter of SAMPE, the Society for the
Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (http://www.sampe.org/ ). Before
moving to Nevada from Michigan last year, he served SAMPE as Vice Chair of the
Great Lakes Chapter and Technical Co-chair of the 2008 International SAMPE
Technical Conference in Memphis, Tennessee. SAMPE's mission statement is "The
Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) provides
the global forum for information, education and professional fellowship for
those who define the leading edge and application of materials and processes
advancement."
Drs. Leang, Suhr and Cannon receive NSF funding from NUE program for
project entitled "Integration of Nanotechnology into the ME curriculum via
Energy Efficient Systems and Dynamic Structures."
 Developing
an ARTIFICIAL SKIN:
Jonghwan Suhr, an assistant professor of the Mechanical Engineering
Department, has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award,
the prestigious award for junior faculty. The project will investigate the
viscoelasticity of continuous carbon nanotube-polymer composites and explore
ways to utilize them as biologically inspired artificial skins that can
potentially make aircraft fuel efficient.
The five-year NSF CAREER award of $400,000 will support Dr. Suhr’s outstanding
research and innovative teaching. [more...]
