A collaboration led by Assistant Professor Atieh Moridi has developed a 3D printing technique that creates cellular metallic materials by smashing together powder particles at supersonic speed that results in mechanically robust, porous structures that are 40% stronger than similar materials made with conventional manufacturing processes.

Professor Douglas MacMartin will lead a team from the Cornell Climate Engineering group to model the effects of introducing reflective aerosols into the stratosphere, which could reduce Earth's temperature and limit the impact of climate change. The research is funded by the SilverLining Safe Climate Research Initiative and was matched by an anonymous donor for a $1M total grant. Read more

Mechatronics looks a little different this year, students were mailed a kit of supplies including an oscilloscope, Arduino board, microprocessor, batteries and breadboards, to design and build their own devices with motors, circuits and sensors. Read more
Hadas Kress-Gazit's tremendous efforts in formal methods have resulted in significant contributions to reactive software, theory, and algorithms that allow robots to perform high-level tasks with established performance guarantees. Her success is reflected through these many scientific contributions, her leadership as PI on a number of DoD and NSF programs - including an Office of Naval Research Multidisciplinary Research Program - and a number of awards (like the DARPA YFA and NSF CAREER). Hadas joined the Sibley School in 2009 and has since become a leader within our department and the... Read more
Professor Max Zhang has been awarded a 2 ½-year, approximately $200,000 grant from NYSERDA for work aimed at determining efficient solar farm array configurations to avoid land-use conflicts or spoiling precious agricultural space. Read more
Kress-Gazit, who has been on the faculty at Cornell Engineering since 2009, works to create verifiable robot controllers for complex high-level tasks using logic, verification, synthesis, hybrid systems theory and computational linguistics. She received an NSF CAREER award in 2010, a DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2012 and the Fiona Ip Li '78 and Donald Li '75 Excellence in Teaching Award in 2013. Kress-Gazit is currently also President of the Board of the Robotics: Science and Systems Foundation. Women in Robotics is a 2000+ member group with 16 chapters around the world. Their mission is to... Read more
