  • An aerial view of the Engineering Center, with the Flatirons in the distance
    Dana Anderson, Iain Boyd and Bob Erickson are among the 130 scientists and engineers from around the country who will be inducted as members of the NAE at a meeting this fall.
  • Hisham Ali and a student in front of the plasma wind turnnel.
    Known as an inductively coupled plasma tunnel, the facility in Hisham Ali's lab generates streams of plasma that flow at speeds of hundreds to thousands of miles per hour and burn at up to 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit and hotter.
  • Diana Hernandez holds a high altitude balloon launch payload she built which reached 89,245 ft. in altitude.
    Diana Hernandez, a sophomore and first-generation student at the University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder, is conducting research on space dust impacts using data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP). As a Lattice Scholar, she models impact data collected by PSP’s magnetometer instruments, which detect signals from dust collisions. This work is part of the Discovery Learning Apprenticeship and Fundamentals of Undergraduate Research Program, offering hands-on research opportunities.
  • Smead Scholars Madison Lin and Hasani Spann
    The University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder’s Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences is pleased to welcome the 2025 PhD Scholars into The Smead Program.

    They join the cohort of current Smead Scholars to explore, achieve and lead in aerospace engineering sciences.
