Today, we rely on technology and connection to the internet for almost everything — to pay our bills, to work, to access data about our health, to keep in touch with our family and friends, and so much more. The shift to a digital world happened fast, with engineers paving the way. In this issue of EngineeringWV Magazine, we highlight Statler College engineers who are not only pioneering the areas of cybersecurity and biometrics, but are educating the public about safe uses of these systems and how to navigate our digital lives.

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. In a new study, one Statler College engineer developed a simpler, more effective model that predicts dissolved oxygen in streams across the U.S. Atlantic Coast. Omar Abdul-Aziz, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, said the model can be applied to water bodies anywhere in the world.

Biomedical engineering major Sonia Ndifon realized she wanted to make a difference in others' lives when she saw first-hand how hard it could be not to have access to health care.

Statler College alum Gbolahan "Bugzy" Idowu graduated from WVU with a master’s degree in mechanical engineering and a bachelor’s degree in petroleum and natural gas engineering. Fast forward to 2022, Idowu is now working at Tesla in Reno, Nevada, as a manufacturing equipment engineer.

In celebration of the 2022 Black History Month theme – Black Health and Wellness – the Statler College 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.

Dear friends and colleagues,

Soon, many of you will be receiving the Spring 2022 issue of Engineering WV Magazine in your mailboxes. In this issue, we showcase the excellent research that is being done in the field of cybersecurity and biometrics in the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. Not only are our researchers making important advancements in biometrics research, they are also working to create safer biometrics systems and educate the public about this emerging area of technology. You can view the Spring magazine online.

Additionally, I want to thank you all for your outpouring of support for our College on WVU’s fifth Day of Giving. Because of your generous contributions, our students, faculty, and researchers will continue to thrive and make world-changing discoveries. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Connect with fellow alumni and partners in industry through the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources public LinkedIn channel and stay updated with the latest news and events from the College!
