Meet seven of the nearly 500 VCU students who presented their research this week at a prestigious conference
Nearly 500 VCU students recently presented diverse projects at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, showcasing innovative work in dance, biology, engineering, and the arts at this prestigious national gathering.
Koerner Family Foundation presents fellowships to three VCU College of Engineering doctoral researchers
Three VCU College of Engineering doctoral researchers—David Bordenkircher, Logan Schorr, and Leia Troop—have been awarded Koerner Family Foundation fellowships for their innovative work in sensor management, collaborative robotics, and musculoskeletal tissue engineering.
Rare earth elements, joint pain and addiction treatment are highlighted in VCU faculty research receiving new awards
VCU researchers recently received Commercialization Fund awards to advance five innovative projects, including a synthetic protein for cleaner rare earth element extraction and new treatments for joint pain and addiction.
To measure the force of TBIs, this VCU lab builds a better brain
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University are 3D-printing lifelike hydrogel rat brains. These "phantoms" mimic brain viscosity to accurately measure the physical impact of forces like concussions, aiming to improve TBI research.
Anuradha Godavarty, Ph.D., joins the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the VCU College of Engineering
Her research in optical imaging positions VCU Engineering to become a significant contributor to medical device research.
Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering professor John Speich, Ph.D., advances bladder biomechanics research through collaboration with VCU School of Medicine
25 years ago, Speich had never even heard of neurourology and urodynamics. Today, he has 19 articles published in the journal of the same name.
VCU College of Engineering receives $4.5 million of funding for research supporting blind-visually impaired individuals
Split across two grants, the awards help Dianne Pawluk, Ph.D. and collaborators create BVI tools that create equal opportunity.
VCU innovators create device to mimic real blood flow to surgical training simulations
VCU researchers have developed a reciprocating diaphragm pump that mimics realistic, pulsatile blood flow. This innovation enhances surgical simulations by reacting to trauma scenarios, ultimately improving training for surgeons and military medics.
Improving research capability with high-performance computing
Biomedical engineering students share how VCU’s High Performance Research Computing core facility aids their investigations.
Stanford University study places College of Engineering faculty among world’s most-cited researchers
The rankings include 11 Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) College of Engineering researchers who are among the most cited researchers of their respective fields.
