Celebrating Black History Month, forging change through engineering with Anthony Guiseppi-Elie
In celebration of the 2022 Black History Month theme – Black Health and Wellness – theBenjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources invited Professor Anthony Guiseppi-Elie, founding dean of Anderson University College of Engineering, to speak on interfacing biology and engineering, his personal story as a Black engineer and entrepreneur, and how he is making a difference in science and education.
WVU engineer develops tool to predict oxygen in water, finds streams along southeastern U.S. in poorer quality
Plants and animals on land aren’t the only organisms that need oxygen to survive. Underwater aquatic life requires dissolved oxygen to live and prosper.
WVU engineer exploring American implementation of newer, safer ‘turbo roundabout’
Approaching a traffic roundabout can conjure up consternation among motorists.
WVU researchers to improve the flow of renewable energy to power plants with $7.5 million in grants
Integrating renewable energy with the power grid continues to be a big challenge for the electrical grid infrastructure in the United States. While the solution isn’t simple, it’s not impossible either, and researchers from West Virginia University have been competitively awarded $7.5 million from the United States Department of Energy to help solve a critical part of the problem.
Future trillion dollar ‘space economy’ threatened by debris, NSF CAREER Award recipient says
The space economy is on track to be valued at a trillion dollars by the end of 2030, according to Piyush Mehta, Wayne and Kathy Richards Faculty Fellow and assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at West Virginia University. Yet space assets – equipment that is placed in space such as navigation, weather and communication satellites that serve our society daily – are threatened by space debris.
WVU engineers seek to re-use waste plastics to make valuable petrochemicals
Despite efforts to promote recycling and reuse of plastic materials, the plastic problem continues to be a global problem. West Virginia University engineers hope to debottleneck the remaining challenges for recycling of single-use plastic packaging by upcycling them into petrochemicals.
