Ivan Christov and Amy Marconnet have received a grant from NASA to analyze physical science data from the International Space Station. Their proposal focuses on filtering gas-liquid flows in microgravity, as they pertain to the life support systems on ISS.

Purdue ME's undergraduate program is #8 in the country, in the latest US News rankings. Read about all the other Purdue milestones from today's report.

From glaucoma-sensing contact lenses to pressure-sensing prosthetic hands, Chi Hwan Lee creates smart biomedical devices out of ordinary items.

The power of a dream is undeniable – but without hard work, a dream will remain just that. Lifelong racing fan Angela Ashmore (BSME '10, MSME '13) put in her work, and is now living her dream: working as an engineer for Chip Ganassi Racing’s #8 IndyCar team.

Engineering education has always been a moving target. The laws of physics don't change, but the best way to teach those physical laws varies with every generation. A recently published five-year study from Purdue University shows that mechanical engineering students thrive in a flipped classroom setting.

Purdue ME is hiring a Professor of Practice with expertise in Advanced Manufacturing.

This brick circle on Purdue's campus is called the "clapping circle"... when you stand in the middle of it and clap, you hear an odd squeak. Thanks to the just-published research of professor Stuart Bolton and his acoustics students, now we know why.

Deep learning is a form of artificial intelligence that has the potential to transform autonomous vehicles, medical diagnosis, and many other fields. But much of the research into deep learning relies on theoretical assumptions, which don't adequately address all the irregularities found in the real world. Purdue University researchers have received a grant from the National Science Foundation to study robust deep learning in real physical space.

After 19 years of service as a faculty member of Purdue University's School of Mechanical Engineering, Qingyan (Yan) Chen has retired.

Modern devices that use lithium ion batteries, like smartphones and electric cars, seem pretty robust. But try to use one in extreme heat or cold, and you'll see how susceptible they are to malfunctions and low performance due to temperature. Purdue University engineers have developed a solution: a "thermal switch" made up of compressible graphene foam, that dynamically adjusts to temperatures both inside and outside the device to maintain consistent thermal management.
