Device is First Step Toward a More Sophisticated Artificial Nervous System

In work that combines a deep understanding of the biology of soft-bodied animals such as earthworms with advances in materials and electronic technologies, researchers from the United States and China have developed a robotic device containing a stretchable transistor that allows neurological function.

Taewoo Lee’s Projects Deal With Diabetic Retinopathy and Organ Transplants

Taewoo Lee, assistant professor of Industrial Engineering at the UH Cullen College of Engineering, was awarded two grants to address critical issues in health care by the National Science Foundation.

Researchers share video of their Advanced Naval Technology Exercise

Discretion is an integral part of covert reconnaissance missions. With that in mind, a team of UH Cullen College of Engineering researchers are working on a $1 million project to create self-guided biodegradable containers of sensors to map coastlines and the bottom of the ocean. 

New Method Fills a Need in Emerging Applications for Electronic Devices

Contact lenses that can monitor your health as well as correct your eyesight aren’t science fiction, but an efficient manufacturing method – finding a way to produce the curved lenses with embedded electronics – has remained elusive.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a three-year grant to a UH Cullen College of Engineering research team led by Alamgir Karim, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering. The team’s project, titled “Ordering of Block Copolymer Systems with Enhanced Molecular Interactions and Diffusional Dynamics,” received $399,718.
