Shideh Dashti is an associate professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering at CU Boulder's College of Engineering and Applied Science. Her research is focused on geotechnical engineering, centrifuge modeling, and designing resilient infrastructure in the wake of earthquakes and climate-related natural disasters.

Global cement production accounts for 7% of annual greenhouse gas emissions in large part through the burning of quarried limestone. Now, a CU Boulder-led research team has figured out a way to make cement production carbon neutral—and even carbon negative—by pulling carbon dioxide out of the air with the help of microalgae.

Kristin Calahan (PhDMechEngr’21) is the lead author on a new paper in Science Advances that explores the best approaches for anchoring medical devices to tissue inside the body to improve their performance.

Today’s offshore wind turbines can tower more than 490 feet above ground, their spinning blades churning out up to 8 megawatts (MW) each—about enough to power 4000 homes in the U.S. But with their increasing size comes challenges.

The Pew Charitable Trust announced today that Assistant Professor Wyatt Shields has been selected as a 2022 Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences.

Scientists at LongPath and CU Boulder are using new laser technology to do what other technologies have struggled to do for years: detect natural gas, which is invisible to the eye, leaking from pipes at sites like this, in real time.

the AB Nexus program announced its fourth round of grant awards to faculty from the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Anschutz Medical Campus and the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Boulder.

The CU Boulder team decided to make their project in the wearables space just a little more … fabulous.

Department of Computer Science assistant professor Chris Heckman and CIRES research hydrologist Toby Minear have been awarded a Grand Challenge Research & Innovation Seed Grant to create an instrument that could revolutionize our understanding of the amount of water in our rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal areas by greatly increasing the places where we measure it.

Pre-tenure faculty whose research, scholarship and creative work were stalled by COVID-19 can now apply for new Thrive Grants in a partnership program launched by the Office of Faculty Affairs, and co-sponsored by the Boulder Faculty Assembly and the Research and Innovation Office.
