ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½

It’s hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by CU Boulder Professor Mark Rentschler and student researchers in his lab that can navigate the human gastrointestinal system with ease and may someday help doctors care for their patients.

As a team of generous philanthropic leaders, Paul and Katy Rady have made investments in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Boulder that will pay dividends for decades to come.

Former Mechanical Engineering faculty member Jenifer Blacklock has returned to the College of Engineering and Applied Science as the director of the Rady Program at Western Colorado University.

Growing up, John Mollenkopf (MechEngr'83) spent most of his free time tinkering. That natural curiosity for understanding how things work — and how to build something from nothing — helped propel Mollenkopf to success throughout his career as an engineer and executive in oil and gas.

The Rocky Mountain Seminar Series provides CU Boulder faculty, staff and students with the opportunity to hear from researchers across disciplines from various institutions.

Noah Gilsdorf is a double-degree student at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Boulder working toward a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering and a bachelor of music in jazz studies.

Emily Zuetell is a current student in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering. She was the president of CU’s student chapter of Engineers Without Borders and has been a member of the organization for over three years.

Nicole Labbe views her work as a much-needed bridge between high-end theoretical chemistry and its actual application. It’s a space she said she loves to occupy, as too often theorists and fundamental researchers do not spend enough time talking to engineers and developers.

Yu Gao, a postdoctoral associate in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, is the lead author of a new paper in Biomaterials Science that is highlighted on the back cover.
