The experiences of Jennifer Blauvelt, chief digital and information officer at CQ Medical and University of Iowa alumna, show how a biomedical engineering degree can branch into many interesting areas as long as you stay curious and are open to unexpected opportunities.

Marian Muste, University of Iowa research engineer, has invented a custom physics-based approach for measuring the flow in rivers and streams, which could benefit applications ranging from design of riverine structures to flood warnings and water resource management.

Growth in North Liberty, Solon, and Tiffin is draining an aquifer faster than it’s being replenished, according to U.S. Geological Survey data. “There are concerns for water level drawdowns in the area with added users,” UI research hydrologist Greg Brennan said.

UI alumnus Dan Negrut and current staff member Chris Schwarz are helping to design simulations for a rover that may be used for the Artemis campaign.

University of Iowa staffer details experience flying in Aero L-29 Delfin trainer jet with the Operator Performance Laboratory. In full flight suit, strapped into one of OPLs oldest birds with a parachute attached to my seat, we bank east. Off the right wing, a second L-29 and a Beechcraft Bonanza slide into echelon formation.

University of Iowa engineering and mathematics researchers will present findings of why even the most advanced artificial intelligence systems are still easy to trick during the 14th International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) in April.

Colin Houts is a Chemical Engineering alumna from the University of Iowa. He is currently working towards a PhD hoping to study self-assembly of polymer systems. Learn more about Colin and how he wants to utilize his ChemE degree throughout his career!

As NASA prepares to launch the Artemis II mission to the Moon as soon as this coming weekend, researchers at the University of Iowa are tackling a challenge future astronauts may need to deal with — how to drive safely on the Moon.

David Cwiertny, professor of civil and environmental engineering, worries that “we’re kind of teetering dangerously close to having this happen in more and more communities around Iowa ... I just don’t think we’re ready for the fallout that comes when you have to tell large segments of your population or entire small communities that you can’t drink your water,” he says.

The university is launching several courses as part of a new certificate program. Tyler Bell, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Gary Christensen, professor of electrical and computer engineering, were interviewed.
