Civil and Environmental Engineering
CEE researchers, including Kelvin Gregory, Kaushik Dayal, Destenie Nock, post-doc Mahnoush Babaei, and Ph.D. student Esteban Londono, are looking into detection and treatment methods as well as socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
CMU Engineering
Carnegie Mellon researchers have developed a novel device that separates blood cells using sound waves.
New Atlas
A group of students from the CMU chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) has turned to vertical farming as a way to tackle food poverty. By experimenting with LED lights that flicker at different speeds, the group is attempting to find how much light is necessary to grow the biggest plant, using the least amount of energy.
CMU Engineering
CMU Engineers Without Borders students are pioneering a brand-new approach to indoor agriculture—and it all starts with LED lights.
