A mechanical and aerospace engineer is combining the study of neuroscience and robotics to better understand the nervous system and motor output of insects to create animal-like robots for potential use in agriculture, mining and space exploration.

Researchers at in the Statler College are vying to overcome the final hurdle in connecting renewable energy to the power grid by “greenifying” the production of hydrogen.

Characterizing an autism patient’s behavior can be challenging, but our  researchers aim to make identification easier by conducting the first systematic study toward autism spectrum disorder phenotyping using behavior-tracking technology.

Engineers are tackling climate change in the Mountain State by using carbon capture and utilization technology to slow the rate of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere, while moving us closer to a fully renewable economy.  

Undergraduate researchers will spend the next year pursuing projects in enzymes and fungi— research that could ultimately help people with chronic diseases and develop new pharmaceuticals.  

After two years of overcoming adversities, hours of hard work and nearly 35,000 lines of code later, Team Mountaineers from the Statler College at West Virginia University placed 6th out of 114 teams that began in the qualifying round of the NASA Centennial Space Robotics Challenge Phase 2.

Dear friends and colleagues,

So many exciting things are happening at Statler College and at West Virginia University this semester. The articles presented in this issue of EngineeringWV Wired showcase the outstanding interdisciplinary research done in the College, new events on campus and continued Mountaineer traditions.

I would like to extend my congratulations to the WVU Robotics Team for their success in the final round of the NASA Centennial Challenge. After two years of competition, the team finished in 6th place out of 114 teams that began in the qualifying round. We are so proud of the team and all of their hard work! The future of WVU Robotics and Statler College is bright!

Let's Go!
