👏 A quick shoutout and congratulations to our CEC Dean’s Undergraduate Research Scholars who completed their second semester in the program this spring! 🔬

Their projects focused on recovering gadolinium from MRI contrast waste, materials for hypersonic aircraft, PFAS remediation, a 3D-printed airfoil that can switch between wing and propeller shapes for drones, and imaging technology for inspecting nuclear fuel casks. ✈️⚛️

Well done, Quinten Bachman, Parker Barnes, Christopher Beck, Christy Johnson and Hossein Libre!

And thank you to their faculty advisors: Dr. Amber Pete, Dr. Phil Mulligan, Dr. Tayfun Akyurek, Dr. Hunter Schroer and Dr. Greg Hilmas.

🌉 Missouri S&T researcher Dr. John J. Myers is leading a $450,000 MoDOT-funded study that could help improve how prestressed concrete bridge girders are designed and manufactured.

“Engineers want to make decisions based on data, and that’s what this project is all about,” Myers says. “We want to better understand how certain bridge components perform so future bridge designs can be based on evidence rather than assumptions.”

A Missouri S&T researcher has received funding from the National Cancer Institute to develop a personalized treatment for triple-negative breast cancer.

“Almost everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by cancer and understands how devastating the disease can be,” says Dr. Mostafa Yazdi, an assistant professor in the Linda and Bipin Doshi Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. “Cancer cells are good at hiding in plain sight. With this research, I hope to pull back the camouflage so the immune system can finally see what’s been there all along and fight back.”
