Engineered materials inhibit odors in socks, lend antimicrobial properties to medical bandages and extend the shelf life of some food and cosmetic products, including sunscreen. But what happens when it's time to dispose of them?
In this interview with The Conversation, MVS Chandrashekhar explains how smoke detectors work and why they sometimes sound an alarm for what seems like no reason.
Casey Lucas has spent her post-graduate career doing everything from designing roadways to managing multi-million-dollar projects. But, it's the impact she's had on the lives of young engineers that's helped her leave a lasting legacy in the Palmetto State.
Selecting which bridges in South Carolina get rated with restrictions is a tried-and-true process, but it does not take advantage of new and developing technologies. Paul Ziehl believes it is time for this process to change.
Society has changed its expectations of what things like cell phones can do. So, researchers and engineers like Yavuz Yapici and his team are working on finding new ways to meet the ever-changing needs of the public.
UofSC's rail group is set to bridge the gap between the rail's past and its upcoming future. As its work progresses, the nation's largest federal funders are taking notice.
His advances in channel models have contributed to the success of communication systems for terrestrial vehicle-to-vehicle communication, public safety communication, and improved aviation air-ground radio design, development and deployment.
eaching graduate students involves more than passing along technical knowledge. Professors are mentoring, modeling behavior and helping create tomorrow’s thought leaders in their fields. For chemical engineering professor Michael Matthews, it is about creating what he calls “the well-dressed Ph.D.”
For CEC graduates Anand Durairajan and Madhulika Narayan, their education at UofSC propelled them to careers with companies like Intel, Facebook and Microsoft. Now, the couple is leaving a legacy at their alma mater in honor of those who gave them the chance to chase their dreams.
This year did not go as planned, but we stayed the course. We kept to our mission and found refuge in celebrating the outstanding accomplishments of our students, faculty and alumni. Look back at 2020 with us.
Antonia Roman fulfilled a family dream by becoming the third person in her extended family with a college degree, earning a bachelor’s in civil engineering from the College of Engineering and Computing.
These days, Perez is an associate professor in the civil engineering department at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. However, he still carries his unconventional spirit and love for South Carolina with him.
Siemens Digital Industries Software and the University of South Carolina are expanding their partnership by adding new software, collaborating on research for innovative manufacturing solutions, and by adding Siemens’ product demonstrations in the 15,000 square foot Digital Transformation Lab at the McNAIR Aerospace Center.
Through the support of her family, the care of her mentors and her own belief in herself, Tashiema Ulrich defied every challenge that came her way. In the process, she became the first African American woman to receive her nuclear engineering doctorate from South Carolina.
The Office of Student Conduct -- it's a place that many college students feel uneasy about. But, for CEC graduate Aaron Hark, that office became the inspiration for him to launch Maxient, dedicated to simplifying critical operating tasks.
Researchers from UofSC have embarked on a cutting-edge study that focuses on identifying the most accurate form of measurement, called "ground truth." The knowledge gained will advance research across all areas of the university involved in the field of smart and connected things.
By investing in artificial intelligence, our college and university is investing in the future. And just two years after penning the proposal for our trans-disciplinary institute, I am already seeing my goals, visions and hopes come true.
Yaw Addei-Boadu sees chances to innovate, well, everywhere — from event rentals to biogas stoves to fashionable emergency alert devices. Now he's one of a growing number of University of South Carolina students and alumni entrepreneurs who are shaking up the startup scene.
Through a grant from NASA, Pooyan Jamshidi will use machine learning to prepare spacecraft to repair and adapt themselves in the event of "unknown unknowns" so that they can better cope with uncertainties in the outer space environment.
Jason Bakos has received an NSF grant to design processors capable of real-time machine learning of the behavior and response of high-rate dynamic systems. This study will improve the reaction time of high-energy systems such as ballistics, airbag deployment and high-speed vehicle control.
The UofSC College of Engineering and Computing has a simple goal: to use emerging technologies to improve America's health care system so people receive care tailored to their bodies' needs and their individual genetic make-ups.
T. Bond Calloway Jr. is the recipient of the 2020 F.J. & Dorothy Van Antwerpen Award. The award is presented by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and recognizes a chemical engineer for outstanding contributions and service to the Institute.
The award adds to Sheth's long list of professional accolades. And while his research currently focuses much more on artificial intelligence than services computing, the effects of his past work still endure.
At this year's TEDxUofSC, Amit Sheth discussed faults in American health care and how emerging research in augmented personalized health can prevent many of system's problems.
In this age of COVID-19 concerns, what’s the safest indoor environment? One without humans, of course. In a practical world the answer lies partly in understanding how the virus moves and where it lands in indoor spaces because air ow and surfaces are important routes for transmission of COVID-19.
South Carolina, Stanford and Princeton are collaborating to create a cost-effective distributed chemical process that will allow for natural gas to be converted into useful chemicals and liquid fuels, instead of burned as harmful waste.
