Majid Zamani is designing safer self-driving car technology with math.An associate professor of computer science at the �鶹ӰԺ, Zamani is working on a European Research Council (ERC) proof-of-concept project that uses

Alia Khan is integrating field-based biogeochemical analysis with NASA’s next generation satellite sensors to quantify how biological algae blooms, mineral dust, and wildfire smoke are darkening the Greenland Ice Sheet and accelerating its melt.Khan

A CU �鶹ӰԺ-led team has developed a suite of new therapies aimed at reversing osteoarthritis in a single injection. With animal studies showing promise and funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health extended, the team could be ready for human trials by 2028.

Distinguished Professor Kristi Anseth has received the Biomaterials Global Impact Award, which recognizes distinguished research and development accomplishments in the field of biomaterials. Anseth is known for developing tissue substitutes that improve treatments for conditions like broken bones and heart valve disease.

Associate Professor Ben Livneh, who’s also the director of the Western Water Assessment (WWA) at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), shares insights on what this “snow drought” means for water availability, how it compares to past trends and what may lie ahead as Colorado approaches peak snowpack season.

CU �鶹ӰԺ researchers and partners at MIT, Harvard and Columbia are working to recreate the human liver’s complex structure in the lab. With support from a $25 million ARPA-H grant, the team aims to develop 3D-printed, transplantable liver tissue made from human cells that the body won’t reject.

In a new study, computer scientists from CU �鶹ӰԺ have uncovered the mathematical rules fireflies follow to sync up their flashes. The team’s findings could one day lead to new designs for robots that move in swarms and could help scientists better understand other examples of synchrony in biology.

A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU �鶹ӰԺ mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists a more realistic way to study cells and disease.

Glaciers are constantly changing and reshaping the Earth’s surface. CU �鶹ӰԺ researchers have developed a new machine learning tool to better understand how Arctic glaciers suddenly accelerate or “surge”.

Professor Alaa Ahmed is leading a study that highlights the central role that dopamine, a brain chemical associated with reward, seems to play in making people move faster when they want something. The findings could one day help scientists understand and even diagnose a range of human medical conditions, including Parkinson’s disease and depression.
